DAY</b></font></div>
<div>This past Saturday, under the direction of our forewoman Laura
Hamel who is also our editor-in-chief (Laura has spent more than a
month obtaining permitting and navigating city permission. Laura also
rallied the clean up day volunteers), we hosted our USMS clean up day.
We can not give enough thanks to the more than 30 masters swimming
volunteers that showed up to help.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We recognize that so many of our volunteers have looked forward
to the day that USMS would have a headquarters. A headquarters that
can pay homage to the years of dedication, service and passion for our
mission. We each can take great pride in how USMS is growing and
celebrating our culture.</div>
