Team,

Thank you for your incredible support for Toys for Tots, this event has become incredibly important to the Parklawn Pool community. Through your generosity we collected 219 gifts and $300 in cash donations - far exceeding last year.

Special shout outs to the following:

Bobby Crider, for envisioning and organizing this event. You should know that he hates any sort of recognition for all the hard work and generosity that he does for others (but it won't stop me from the shout out).

Vivian Snow, our Swimmer of the Week, who worked the event, left for basketball practice and came back to work after practice. She captured the Piranha volunteer work eithic.

Thank you to the Michelin rated Parklawn Swim Grill Team for cooking breakfast, Bobby Crider, Dave Harris, and Gabe "I set my eggs on fire" Snow, and Jose Cervoni, it was amazing.  We also had a special guest cook, Rebecca Cervoni, manning the griddle for pancakes and award winning hashbrowns.

Thank you to all those that helped organize, set up, work, and break down for the event - it takes a village and Parklawn is yours.

Please have a safe and happy holiday season, hoping that we can plan a meet up event for the team soon.

Karen
