BaconFest
On Sunday, August 9th the Kroc Center will be hosting its 3rd annual Bacon Fest. They are
in desperate need of volunteers. They had one group back out, so they are now scrambling. The event runs from
1-5 pm and the shifts are 1 or 2 hours in length. Anyone who
helps is welcome to come and enjoy the festivities before or after their shift without purchasing a ticket! Contact Julie at 402-905-3591 to volunteer or get more details.
Four
On Saturday, September 19 (this does not conflict with a Husker Football game), Tim Patterson
is again organizing a golf outing for the Omaha Women’s Swimming and Diving Team. This event was a lot of
fun in the past years, and I usually don’t like to golf but I do like this event. It is not a fundraiser
it is more of a friendraiser – getting supporters of the swimming community together. Eagle Run will be the
course, with a late morning tee time of 9:30 am (with lunch afterwards). Masters, boosters, alumni, and friends are welcome
to be part of this. The entry fee is the same as last year - $42 ($168 per team). It would be awesome
if we could get at least 2 foursomes from our group! Contact Tim (t.patterson@cox.net) or Todd (tsamland@unomaha.edu). Please let us know asap, even if it is tentative. Check out the flyer!

Women’s and Girls’ Mini-Triathlon
The 23rd Annual Methodist Hospital/ UNO Women’s Mini-Triathlon will be held on Saturday, August 29 (the birthday of my wife, Kathleen). This
is an awesome event! It is fun to see so many people of different ages and ability levels participating (and so
manypeople helping). Only women and girls can participate. Guys we would like you to volunteer. Our
goal this year is to have 300 participants. Reaching this goal would be very exciting! We need all of
our women Masters swimmers to encourage neighbors, friends, colleagues, and family to get active. An entry form is coming; when you receive it please forward to friends,
colleagues, family, and neighbors.
