"We are still buzzing on the "love cloud" and I think we will for a very long time! We will be getting our van the week after Thanksgiving, that's when all of the checks will have cleared. We will be able to pay 100% of the van ($37,000.00) with the money raised, so your amazing goal was acheived! We received some large checks this last week that brought us up to that. So as you see us bouncing down the highway in our "big rig", please know that all of your hard work has given us a MAJOR component toward living a "normal life" again." -- Therese & Brian Jacobson

    Mar 07 The Orca Splash Day was a fabulous success. 

Nice to see all the returning swimmers and parents (my, how all you swimmers have grown since the end of last season!)  And a very special welcome to all our new swimmers and families.

Also a special Thank You, to the coaches and the volunteer parents and swimmers for your time in organizing and working all the positions necessary to make Splash Day happen.

We're looking in great shape for a very special 2004 season.

Go ORCAS!!!
