Second Annual DO Alumni Water Polo Games!

On Saturday, January 5, 2013, Del Oro alumni are invited to jump in with the current Del Oro Men's and Women's teams for some friendly games of water polo at the Del Oro Pool. The game format will be odd graduation years against even. The current varsity players will be split between the two teams so that everyone can get a chance to play together and have some fun! All are welcome to play for free! Tip-off for the women’s game will be at 11:00 a.m. followed by the men at 12:30 p.m. The pool will be open for warm-ups 30 minutes before each game time.

We hope everyone will come to play or watch.

There will be a delicious barbeque lunch of chicken and tri-tip sliders with all the fixings, drinks, and dessert afterward on the campus. Tickets are $15 per person. The water polo games and luncheon are being organized by the Junior Council. All checks should be payable to the PUHSD. RSVP BY 1/2/13 to:  Morgan Callahan at Callahan@vfr.net.

Pies for the Pool

What could be better than a home baked pie for the holidays? Order yours today from Naomie Smith DeMartini by texting her at 530-574-7417 or email at naomiesmithdemartini@yahoo.com. Specify apple, pumpkin, or berry. Orders are due by DECEMBER 18, and there will be a one time delivery pick in the DO pool parking lot at 6 pm on Friday, December 21.

Parkas for the Pool

Hello fellow Del Oro Eagles and supporters!  My name is Becca Triplett and I am a Junior here at Del Oro as well as a swimmer.  I am helping to raise money for our new pool by selling parkas.   A parka is a long, extremely warm, highly water resistant coat.  These would be fantastic to wear at any sporting event or just on a cold, rainy day.  The interior is gold while the exterior is solid black.  You can even have DEL ORO put on the back. You don't have to be a swimmer to love a parka! The cost is $95 for the parka, but if you want DEL ORO on the back and your name embroidered on the front the cost is $120.  If you want to give a parka to someone you love for Christmas, please place your order by DECMEBER 5. Contact me to order at: swimbex3@gmail.com.

May Update

24 HOUR SWIM A THON

Who in their right mind would swim for 24 hours? That’s what LBD Head Coach, Heidi Walker’s trainer, Jack Powless, thought when she asked him to help her get in shape for this unusual feat. While Heidi was already in great shape from competing in local triathalons, she only had 6 weeks to prepare both mentally and physically for her marathon in the Del Oro pool. Heidi started swimming at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 21 and finished at 8 a.m. the next day. She swam 2,039 laps, which equates to 50,975 yards or 28.55 miles! Thank you to all the swimmers who jumped in with Heidi to keep her going both day and night and who brought in pledges that made the 24-Hour Swim A Thon a success! Thanks also go to our amazing Junior Council that helped to organize and run the event AND swim! We netted over $16,000 and earned media attention from Good Day Sacramento, Fox 40, and Wave Broadband. Stay tuned for the video that is being produced and will hopefully gain nationwide attention for our cause. Special thanks to our generous sponsors: Nationwide Insurance, Golden Eagle Automotive, Von Housen Mercedes Benz, Eastbay Athletic Wear, d&D Logowear, West Coast Swim Shop, Pasta Pomodoro, Loomis Starbucks, Cater Galante Orthodontists, and 4 GR8 Tee’s.

CASINO NIGHT

The second annual Casino Night was held Friday, May 4. New additions included a silent auction and a wine bottle ring toss. While the official results are still being tabulated, it looks like the event earned between $15,000 and $16,000. A HUGE thank you to the Casino Night co-chairs, Lindi Callahan and Margie Mower, and the whole hard working committee! Special thanks to our event sponsors: Nationwide Insurance, Loomis Basin Dolphins, Johnson & Co., CPAs Frank M. Booth Design Build,The Baker Family, Shelley’s Smart Shopper, TSD Engineering, DPR Construction, KSJ Electrical Construction, Sacramento Truck Center, Golden State Tree Care, Magnussen's Auburn Toyota, Loomis Chiropractic, Michael Hardy, CFP/UBS Financial Services, and The Oien-Wilson Family.

Even if you can swim for only fifteen minutes, you can help with the Junior Council 24-Hour Swim-a-Thon on April 21-22. The goal is to have at least one person swimming in each lane for 24 consecutive hours. We are looking for swimmers of ALL ages to take a pledge envelope and swim some laps.  There will also be a Float-a-Thon option in the side pool for those of you who want to support the event in a more relaxed fashion (Bring Your Own Loungechair)! All swimmers will receive a special “Jump In” swim cap. We expect to get both TV and radio coverage of this event.  There will be a snack bar and sponsoring food vendors on deck. On Saturday, from 9:00-2:00 there will be a number of other vendors contributing to the festival atmosphere. The final hour of the swim-a-thon will be dedicated to some team relays for fun.  If you are interested in swimming or becoming a T-shirt or towel sponsor, or participating as a vendor, please contact us at friendsofthedopool@gmail.com.
