Rinconada Needs Our Help
The
Rinconada Masters team has taken cost-cutting measures, but are
hoping to increase their roster so they can cover water costs, open more lanes and keep the team going to mark their 47th anniversary!
Please visit their
GoFundMe-Rinconada
and help raise $15,000 to keep them in the pool until January. Any amount will help!
Coaches Carol Macpherson and Terri Baxter-Smith as well as the entire Rinconada swimming community thank you.
