After more than 50 years The Greensboro Swimming Association is finally starting a semi-official Alumni/Friends organization. The mission of the organization will be two-fold. One very important aspect will be to serve as a focal point for reunions, get-togethers and maintaining contact with fellow alumni. To that end, we are trying to locate and invite as many alumni families and swimmers to the annual GSA Fundraising Event held in November. For information, see the GSA homepage for “Bluegrass, Blue jeans and Barbecue” (this year’s event). The GSA website is www.gsaswim.org. If you know of anyone who has been a part of the GSA families over the years, direct them to the homepage or GSA’s facebook.
The second goal or mission of the GSA Alumni organization will be to develop a scholarship program. GSA would like to offer more of an outreach swimming program for economically disadvantaged children; as well as assisting existing GSA families during economic down times or life transitions. We would like the alumni organization to help develop and maintain funding for these programs in the long-term.
GSA Alumni are invited to the Annual GSA Graduation Party honoring GSA’s graduating seniors. The event will be May 17th at 6:30 pm at Nick Johnson’s house. If you’re in town, come on over and help the team celebrate! Click here for details.
