Needed!
We
still needed 12 more volunteers for this Sundays Feeding the Hungry
and Homeless. Please click on the link below to sign up.
This Sunday, December 30th from 4-6: 30pm come
help VJO give back to the community. We need 15-20 VJO
swimmers to help out with the "Sparrow Project" and feeding the hungry and homeless. This will take place at the
1st Baptist Church in Vallejo. Our swimmers will help set
up, help serve food, and help clean up. This is a
great way for our swimmers to get involved in their community.
Swimmers can also count this toward their community service
requirements for school. Swimmers under the age of 11 need to
have a parent helping them. If you wish to leave while your
child is volunteering, please make sure to leave your child with
another parent. This is NOT a VJO practice and children are
NOT under the supervision of VJO coaches. Thank you!
