  • I already did. I don't need a special reason, but it just may be what motivates others to donate to a worthy cause. No, no, no. Not at a USMS meet. If you are gonna do this, set up a string of booths and let all the "worthy" causes participate on their own dime. Hall, Jr didn't pimp ADA or JDRF and USMS doesn't need to pander to any charity for a swim meet. Also, given the diversity of our membership, this is more likely to cause controversy than compliments. I don't think anyone is joining USMS for junk like this. And, I'm not sure people need to be "motivated" to spend their money on charity at a swim meet. I get nickeled and dimed to death by raffles from kid's stuff, civic stuff, religious stuff. Keep it away from my swimming!!
