clinics:</b></font><br>
Pacific Masters is looking to recruit new officials to help out on
deck<br>
at our swim meets. We have been very short handed recently, and
anyone<br>
who can help out would be greatly appreciated. If you're going to
a<br>
meet, officiating is a fun way to fill in the time between your
events!<br>
If you are at all interested in becoming an official, there are
some<br>
clinics coming up soon:<br>
<br>
* Saturday, November 10, at Rinconada Park,
Palo Alto, 12-3 PM<br>
* Saturday, December 15, at Foothills Swim
and Tennis Club, Palo<br>
Alto, 9-12 AM<br>
<br>
If you plan to attend one of these clinics, please send an RSVP to
Mark<br>
Taliaferro, mtaliaferro@ucpaloalto.com.<br>
<br>
For more information about becoming an official, check our web page

REGISTRATION</b></font></div>
<div>Nancy Ridout thanks you in advance for your patience in renewing
your membership for 2008. USMS is changing its registration
system for 2008 and the transfer of data, system differences, and the
inevitable glitches make it still not ready. Those of you who
are used to getting your cards within a week will find that it may
take a bit longer. The goal is to have it up and running next
week. By the way, the new web-based system will include on-line
registration at some point in the next year.<br>
<br>
Many thanks to the following clubs who have already renewed for 2008.
PMS appreciates your timely registration that will allow your members
to renew and register as soon as we are able to input the data.
Those clubs that are not on this list are encouraged to get their 2008
club registrations in ASAP so your members will not have to wait to
register.<br>
<br>
Individual and club forms can be downloaded from our web site at
www.pacificmasters.org. We're looking forward to an exciting
year of swimming in 2008!<br>
