As many of you know, it has been proposed that the indoor Portsmouth Pool be shut down. There has been an outpouring of support from both residents and local swimmers. A group has developed to support the effort to save the pool. Below is a flyer with more information on what you can do. Please check it out!

I've been involved with triathlon for a little over 7 years now. I've also participated in bike races, running races and team sports. While all of the athletes that participate in sports seem to have an affinity for fundraising, in my experience, triathletes are just a little bit more active in this area and willing to donate their time, talent and resources to social causes.
The Vento Triathlon Club is no different. We'll be supporting two organizations this year, Northeast Passage and Team Trevor. I've included information from each organization's website below so you can learn about each organization. Feel free to support either organization (or both!) on your own, but also stay tuned for opportunities to help your other Vento teammates support these fantastic organizations. Northeast Passage The mission of Northeast Passage is to create an environment where individuals with disabilities can recreate with the same freedom of choice, quality of life, and independence as their non-disabled peers. We do this by developing, delivering, and evaluating innovative barrier-free recreation and health promotion programs. Our guiding principles are promoting client independence through education and problem solving, creating opportunities, and collaborating with others to create a strong network of accessible recreation. Team Trevor Team Trevor is made up of Trevor's family and friends and all of the good, kind, generous people who recognize the need to change the future for those people affected by cystic fibrosis. Trevor is an inspirational child whose big, brown eyes speak volumes about his love of life, his curiosity, and his kind nature. Team Trevor is going to help find a cure or management tool for CF because of Trevor. We do this through local, grass roots fundraising efforts. We organize different fund-raising events throughout the year that are fun for the whole family. Some of these events are done in conjunction with the Northern New England Chapter of the CFF and some are done solely by us. 100% of the proceeds from Team Trevor efforts go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Olivia  Karen and Olivia unveiling the club kit You know that feeling when you walk into a room and there is an energy you can feel but not quite describe?
That's what the Vento Tri Club launch party felt like tonight. Imagine 50 or so triathletes, race directors, product representatives from companies like Blue Seventy and Oakley and one legendary pro triathlete, Karen Smyers. It's no surprise there was such a buzz in the room! Needless to say the launch party was a huge success in that we jump started our membership with lots of seacoast area triathletes with great attitudes looking for like minded athletes to train and socialize with. In case you missed it - keep an eye out on the website for registration forms and information. You can virtually experience the party by checking out our multimedia page which includes photos and Karen Smyers talk to the Vento crew. | ArchivesMay 2010 CategoriesAll | ||
