We found our Swimming Sponsors just in time for the New Year! This past month I sent out a letter to the editor and several emails asking for a sponsor for the Orcas Rec Swimming Program for February.
That request was filled, and my expectations were exceeded! We raised enough money to run three separate swimming sessions instead of just one! A huge THANK YOU goes out to all of our sponsors! We could not have done it without you! Swimming Sponsors include
- Rolf Eriksen at Happy Acres
- Dr Steven Bailey and Rita Bailey
- Anonymous Donor
- Chris Sutton and Kate Long
- Susen Oseth
As the new Coordinator for Orcas Rec, I plan to hold more Recreation Based fundraisers that get people active and raise money for the program. Our first Orcas Rec fundraiser for 2010 will be a kids swim-a-thon at the Athletic Center on February 6th. If you are under 18 and would like to participate let us know! We need kids to find sponsors and swim laps for Orcas Rec to help us raise money. Detailed information is on our website at www.orcasrec.org
We hope to see you and your family at several of Orcas Rec programs, events, and fundraisers in 2010. Thank you for your support!
Linda Sheridan
Orcas Rec Coordinator
