A friend asked me where she can recycle/donate her medals from many years of Masters. I know Casey Claflin (Sarasota Sharks) was also exploring the idea of donating his to an organization. Has any heard of anything?
My second question is: Who knows the couple in the FINIS ad photo taken at Santa Clara, on page 17 of the July-Aug. issue of SWIMMER? I think she wore red boots and shirt while watching & waiting for her events. I like to see people in that age group STILL ACTIVE in their sport! :applaud:
a number of years ago i got a donation call from the local Big Brothers Big Sisters org.
they wanted money. i asked for what? to buy medals for their track meet. that they dont get big money like special olympics does.
i asked how many medals they needed?
they guy came out to my house and we went through my box.
he asked what i wanted in return as i had enough to provide all of the medals for the entire track meet.
my reply was just a couple of pictures of the kids with them.
and that was the most rewarding way to "recycle" a boatload of my medals. obvioiusally none of them had swimmers on them.
