Greetings, friends and supporters of Husky Swimming!

Alas! March has been a busy and productive month for the Husky Swimming Foundation! In particular, we have two exciting bits of news to share…

First, interest in resurrecting the Husky Invitational continues to grow. The foundation board has had several productive meetings concerning the meet; specifically we have focused our efforts on ways in which to make the meet special and exciting! A few of the key ideas that have emerged thus far are: attaching a clinic to the meet; having Olympian presence; additional sprint events; and of course, everyone’s favorite—the gala event!

As always, your ideas, energy and passion for Husky Swimming are most welcome. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me at: drawzb@mhcc.edu as well as any of the other officers.

Equally as exciting, is the awarding of the spring 2011 Speedo Champions Series (Sr. Sectionals) to the Husky Swimming Foundation.  This meet, which includes swimmers from the twelve Northwest Local Swim Committees (LSC), represents an important milestone and significant opportunity to showcase our foundation and its mission—to support the reinstatement of men’s and women’s swimming at the University of Washington.

Additionally, these events will serve as the core drivers for our “Lost Dawg” campaign, as we will need dozens, if not hundreds, of volunteers to make these events successful —not to mention getting to visit with all of your old U of W friends!  Please help us by volunteering for these wonderful opportunities for the Husky Swimming Foundation.

More information on how you can help will be posted the website as it becomes available. We hope to hear from all of you!

Thank you for your continued support of Husky Swimming!

Be well,

Brandon Drawz “BD”
