- 35 First Time Swims - This meet started out a bit rainy, windy
and chilly but ended up being a brilliant weekend of swimming!
Thank you to all the families that
stepped up and volunteered throughout this meet... Special kudos to Dr.
Karena Neri for her organizational skills and keeping the "desk" running
smoothly at all times-we couldn't have done it without you! It was
fun and interesting co-hosting a meet at another pool, SPA and North
Shore Lifeguard Team made the event and the entire weekend of swimming
easy and enjoyable.

The YMCA is deeply saddened by the tragic earthquake in Haiti. The
Haitian people are suffering a crisis of a magnitude no one can
comprehend. The evening of the earthquake, Gwenael Apollon, General
Secretary of the Haiti YMCA, reported that he, his family, and YMCA
staff survived, but that YMCA operations have been severely
impacted. The global YMCA movement is responding in a coordinated
effort to address the immediate needs of the children, families and
devastated communities in Port au Prince, and surrounding areas
through financial support.
If you would like to support the YMCA efforts in Haiti, please click
on the YUSA’s web link and online donation center:
www.ymca.net/worldservice/donate_to_worldservice.html
When donating online, it is
important to specify “Haiti Earthquake Support”
in the “Comments/special instructions” box at
the bottom of the online donation page to ensure immediate designation
of your contribution.
