Sherry Butts,

Registrar

GSSC

Hello, my name is Sherry

Butts and I am the GSSC

Registrar. My daughter

Katelyn Butts swims on

the 16-20 Competitive

team.

The past two synchro sea-

sons, I held the communi-

cations and events role.

It has been so exciting to

see the club grow the last

few years and to watch

our swimmers progress

year after year. My

daughter Katelyn has been

swimming the GSSC for 6

years and this is her 4th

year of competitive swim-

ming - she truly cannot

get enough of this sport.

It is so nice to see the

friendships she has built

through the club over the

years.

I have really enjoyed my

execut ive pos i t ions

covering communications

and events and now being

Registrar. My main job is

registering the Club and

its members with Synchro

Ontario. In addition, I

register the athletes for

the various synchro com-

petitions throughout the

season.

As the season moves for-

ward, I look forward to

hearing how all of our

athletes succeed in their

competitions.

Congratulations GSSC

Swimmers!!! Your fabulous

efforts raised $1240 for

the Canadian Breast

Cancer Foundation! This

money will be very helpful

to those who are dealing

with Breast Cancer...you

should be very proud of

your contribution into

making life better!

Thank you again to Dr.

Martin Bosch, volunteer

with the Ontario Trillium

Foundation, MPP Liz

Sandals and Mayor Karen

Farbridge for joining our

Burning Bright event! We

appreciate your support

and kind words!

Well done to the Novice

Advanced Team, coached

by Kathleen Purdon, the

team with the highest

amount of pledges and to

MacKenzie Goodwin-

Hughes, the individual with the highest amount

of pledges!

Many thanks to all those

who made this event so

successful!
