Good Afternoon Everyone --
I hope that each of you were able to enjoy the first snowfall. Although it did not stick here at my home, the dogs and I enjoyed a wonderful snuggle on the couch with the fire going and some hot cocoa. I especially love these kind of days where there is a great excuse to stay in your jammies and enjoy being home.

This Week's Theme - Resilience
Holiday Wreaths, Greenery and More
Our First Fundraiser - Holiday Wreaths and Greenery, or a direct Donation
We are starting up our fundraising campaigns again this year. The money raised will be used to help honor our seniors and to save up for custom backstroke flags and a new sound system. You are what helps to make our fundraisers successful. Our hope is that between this fundraiser and our Midnight Madness swim-a-thon that each swimmer will raise between $50 and $100 each or more. We thank you in advance for your help in making this another successful campaign.
Traditionally prior to COVID we held this fundraiser and been pretty successful. All products sold that are not on special, we receive 15% of the sale price. They also have a 100% return on direct donations if you would like to go that route.
All we ask is for you to please get the word out. Please send a letter to family and friends as well as sharing on your social media. I like to use one of the pictures above and the link to our campaign. www.lynchcreekfundraising.com/c/299639. We just ask that you tell them to please include your name in the notes or message. We will also send out a personal thank you note through the campaign to each person that orders. Pretty simple for everyone to please do their part. They ship all over so it will work with family and friends all over the country.
Lynch Creek Farms is out of Sheldon Washington and use Oregon Greenery as well. They have beautiful products as well as ship direct and that is reflected in the cost. The quality of their products is unsurpassed and their customer service is top notch. There is no handling on our parts other than what we may order ourselves. These also make great gifts.
I have been so impressed with everything I order for my own home. I have ordered wreaths, garland, centerpieces and more over the years and have never been disappointed.
Thank you for doing your part

Nutrition Tip of the Week
Dryland Tip of the Week
I encourage each of you to try dryland at least three times a week. It is important to build in dry land workouts into your schedule. It is important to build in dry land workouts into your schedule. This week I am adding in an article with links to exercises for your shoulders. Shoulders are one of the number one issues for swimmers. Taking care of them now leads to less chance of injury.
