NDA CC Parent Organization
Updated: Aug 11, 2024
Parent Volunteer Group
Welcome to NDA CC 2024 and the parent volunteer group. We are a group of parents that support our athletes during the season at competitions and team events and celebrate our athletes and their families at a variety of social events.
To do all these things, a small group of parent volunteers recruits other parents to help during the season. Below is a list of key positions that will need to be filled for the season. These are chair or co-chair positions and responsibilities include helping find people to help in each respective area.
Chair and/or co-Chair positions open include:
Social Co-Chair: This position would be training to take over as chair (or co-chair) of Social Events for 2025. Responsibilities include overseeing the CC season’s social events-the pool party at the start of the season, team pasta dinners and the mass/brunch.
Camp Gard Chair and/or Co-Chair: This position coordinates Camp Gard (our meet home base) set-up and tear down and some volunteers for each meet.
Team/Family Mass Brunch Co-Chair: This position will help organize, set-up and clean-up our team brunch following a mass including our team and their families early in the season.
Chocolate Milk/Camp Ice: This chair buys and delivers chocolate milk and ice for the meet; makes baggies of ice at the meet in case needed. Can recruit other parents to help for the season.
We also are looking for a family to host our opening season party. The family will have the assistance of several parent volunteers to organize and coordinate the party so that your job is only as host.
If you have any questions about these positions or any way you can help during the season as a parent volunteer, please contact Michelle Nowak @ 920-634-9065 or culinaryrd1@gmail.com.
