It is not new to most of us by know to learn about our Nicole’s exceptional creativity. She was the designer and organizer after all of our fun-fundraiser calendar which spread our unparalleled artistic and photogenic fame across multiple continents 8-).

We’ve learned recently however that Nicole is up for an award  from Swim Across America as – guess what – the most creative fundraiser. So, follow the link below, scroll down to ‘most creative fundraiser’ and vote for Nicole ‘cos she is the most creative fundraiser – period. Oh yes, and spread the word!

I know most of our spouses/significant others support our aquatic activity but I thought the article in the link below could help support what we do and why we do it.  Save it for when you need that “hall pass”…

Looking forward to seeing everyone this morning for the HMB swim.

Merry Christmas all.
