Jeffrey Mace

 

The PASDA Board of Trustees are saddened to report that Jeffrey Mace passed away. As many of you may know, Jeffrey had been ill for some time, although it may not have been apparent, given his continued level of involvement in PASDA activities in front of and behind the scene. Jeffrey had generously served as our PASDA Officials’ Trustee for as long as many of us have known him.

 

Our deepest sympathies are offered to Jeffrey’s family during this difficult time.

 

With Jeffrey’s passing the PASDA and swimming communities have lost someone who has devoted a major portion of his life to our children. Jeffrey will be missed by all who have known him as a friend, mentor, or acquaintance, and most certainly of all, by his family.

 

The Mace’s have indicated that donations may be made to the World Wildlife Fund in memory of Jeffrey.

  2009 PASDA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

At the August PASDA general meeting, the membership elected the association’s Board of Directors for the 2009 season.  The new roster of officers and trustees can be found on the Board of Directors page.

 

The 2009 PASDA Board of Directors remains mostly unchanged from 2008.  Jim Devlin, Co-Vice President, Ravine Swim Club, Hamilton Hurricanes, has retired from the Board.

 

Returning Board members are:

·         President – Ellen Mace, Hamilton Hurricanes

·         Vice President – Lauren Hebert, Cranbury Swim Club

·         Treasurer – Pam Owens, Cranbury Swim Club

·         Secretary – Ed Fago, “Unattached” (formerly with Brooktree Swim Club)

·         Trustee (Officials) – Jeffrey Mace, Hamilton Hurricanes

·         Trustee (Diving) – Kirk LeCompte, Lawrenceville Swim Association

·         Trustee, Percy Keith, Hopewell Valley Golf

 

We thank them for their time and service to our swimmers.  Special thanks is extended to Ed Fago who graciously and ably served as Lead Clinician in Jeff Mace’s temporary absence at this past season’s officials clinics.

 

Any PASDA member – parents, swimmers, and coaches – are welcome to contact any members of the Board with their questions, comments, or concerns.

TENTATIVE 2009 OFFICIALS CLINICS

 

Swim officials are a critical element of any fair, well-run meet.  The association relies on member clubs’ PASDA-trained parents to supplement the numbers of certified USA Swimming- and YMCA-certified officials working in the association.

 

In support of the above, Jeffrey Mace (PASDA’s Official’s Chairman), with the assistance of Ed Fago (as needed), will again be running a series of officials clinics for PASDA’s membership before the start of next season.  Following is information on these clinics:

·         Saturday, June 13, 9:00 a.m., Nassau Swim Club, Princeton Township

·         Saturday, June 20, 9:00 a.m., Hopewell Valley Golf Club, Hopewell Township

·         DATE AND TIME TBA, Penn Brook Swim Club, Pennington

·         DATE AND TIME TBA, Country Pool, Chesterfield Township

 

Please note that this information is tentative.  A finalized schedule will be posted on this website when these dates and times are confirmed at the May 2009 general membership meeting.

 

PASDA encourages EVERY CLUB to send at least one representative if not more (see “Note” below) to one of these clinics.  It’s not too early to target potentially interested individuals to send to next year’s clinics.

 

NOTE:  At the 2009 swimming championships, PASDA intends to strictly enforce the requirement that each club will have on deck during each session a number of officials equal to the maximum number of relay teams entered for any single relay event during that session.

For example, if Ravine has three relay teams entered in the Girls 14-and-Under Freestyle Relay but has only one relay team (or none) entered in all of the other relays in the 14-/17-and-Under session, then Ravine must furnish three officials for that entire session.

 

Each clinic runs about two hours.  Swimming or officiating experience is NOT required, nor is a reservation – just show up!  Directions to the host pools can be found on the PASDA website on the Directions to Club Pools page.

2009 DIVISION ALIGNMENTS

 

The three PASDA divisions were realigned at the August general meeting based on the results of the 2008 dual-meet competition and factoring in the loss of Brooktree Swim Club, the 2008 Division III Dual-Meet Champions.  For 2009, teams will compete in PASDA’s three divisions as follows:

 

·         DIVISION I:

Community Park, Cranbury, Flemington-Raritan, Hamilton, Lawrenceville, and West Windsor.

 

·         DIVISION II:

Cherry Valley, Hopewell Valley Golf, Hopewell Valley Tennis, Penn Brook, Nassau, and Twin Rivers.

 

·         DIVISION III
