Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,
Spaghetti Feed Re-Cap
Thank you everyone that joined us for our Annual VJO Spaghetti
Feed / Talent Show / Dessert Contest last Saturday March
23rd. We had a great turn out this year with over
80 people attending. We even had 10 kids participate in the talent
show. This year’s talent show was quite amazing; we had
everything from singing, dancing, sign language performances, piano
and guitar playing, to a Senior Group video (to see video go to
youtube – VJO Harlem Shake). Thank you everyone that
performed in our 2013 VJO talent show! Coach Jennifer
would also like to thank the parents and swimmers for all the baby
gifts for Whitney. Thank you!! Thank you!!
