Thank you everyone that joined us for our Annual VJO Spaghetti Feed / Talent Show / Dessert Contest last Saturday March 23^rd.  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!!
