Dear Swimmers and Parents,
Thank you everyone for supporting Coach Tuffy last week.
It was great to see everyone at both Tuffy’s Proclamation and
at Tuffy’s Retirements Party last week. We had an
exceptional turnout at Tuffy’s Proclamation at City Hall last
Tuesday. The Mayor of Vallejo himself, Osby Davis, even read
and gave Tuffy his Proclamation at City Hall. We had a
turnout of over 400 at Tuffy’s Retirement Party on Sunday at
the Dan Foley Cultural Center. Thank you to everyone that
made Tuffy’s Retirements Party possible. We had a very
hard working Planning Committee that helped to make this event
happen. A special thank you to Hillary Schulte, Arron Jon Toch,
Marylou Miguel, Diane Powell, Jean Augst, Dana Fouad, Lourdes
Viray, Rebecca Kearney, Janet Mata, Cyndee Bogard, and Vicky Yee
for all of their time and efforts in making such a great event
possible!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Jennifer Thiem
VJO Head Swim Coach
