<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="+2" color="#000000"><b>USMS
Solicits Bids From Professional Search Firms</b></font></div>
<div>USMS is in the process of searching for our first Executive
Director. Our search committee is currently looking for a professional
search firm to assist us in the identification of qualified
candidates. To this end, a request for proposal has been prepared and
is being distributed to a number of firms. Professional search firms,
interested in obtaining an RFP and submitting a proposal, are
encouraged to contact Laura Winslow at mailto:WINSLOWL6@yahoo.com .
.<b> The deadline for proposal submission is Friday, January 20,
2006.</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>SCHEDULE CHANGE</b></div>
<div>The Strawberry Canyon Aquatic Masters spring meet will be on
Sunday, March 19 instead of the date mentioned in the newsletter.
Please note the day change.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>SWIMMING HALL OF FAME</b></div>
<div>On the registration form there is a spot to contribute
money to three other organizations. I would hope that you would
consider giving the International Swimming Hall of Fame a few dollars.
They are a repository of many of the articles of our sport.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you get a chance to go to Fort Lauderdale, you should take
half of a day and go to the Hall of Fame.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>MASHUP</b></div>
<div>NPR had a segment on MASHUPS - tailor made cartography with
Google Maps.
(http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5151938)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If there are any budding cartographers there who would like to
create maps to help illustrate Pacific Masters teams or to help with
the XI FINA World Masters Championships (there are many things I think
could be best described using a map), please contact me at
webmaster@pacificmasters.org.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>There is even one map of brew pubs:</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>And there is a signal strength map of the three NPR stations in
the bay area:</div>

<div>(maybe this should be more for the water polo teams.)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This is an area where I could use some help.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>thank you - have a good week - sorry for the extra
Update.</div>
