Awards Night Slideshow 2007-2008

Dear Shaker Swimmers and Parents,

Congratulations on a successful swim season! Thank you for your continuing support of Shaker Swimming and for your attendance at last night’s awards program. Looking out at all of the smiling faces last night reminds us what a wonderful privilege it is to be part of this dedicated community. Oh, and you all looked dazzling dressed up in St. Paddy’s Day green!

For those who could not attend last night, we are sorry you couldn’t make it. We missed you! You can pick up your Attendance Medal, Team Gift, and any other awards the next time you come to practice.

For those who missed it and for those who would like a copy, we are attaching a copy of the slideshow shown before last night’s ceremony to the end of this post. The slideshow was made possible by the sublime photographic skill and generosity of coaches, parents, and swimmers. Thank you very much, photographers!

In the interest of making a tradition out of this first ever slideshow, we’d like to encourage everyone to take more pictures: at practice, at meets, and at special events! All photographs can be submitted to shakerswimming@gmail.com. In the interest of internet bandwidth, please send only 2 or 3 pictures per email. Thank you!

We hope you enjoy the show!

Yours Truly,

Shaker Shark Coaches
