New Photos and Fundraisers

Check out the link to the right for a photo album of Tony's trip to the Denver Zoo on Friday March 4. I've also posted a few of the photos below. I know a photo album of the Denver trip will be coming soon....Master photographer Shawn Quirk has to first edit the hundreds of photos taken by his apprentices Samantha and Hannah.....thank God for digital cameras!!

More fundraisers continue with the continued sales of STAY STRONG wristbands and T-shirts. Special thanks to Melissa Wantz, a middle school teacher and masters swim teammate of Tony's, who's been very active in selling the wristbands. In less than 2 weeks she has surpassed $1000 in donations!!! Truly amazing. There is also a week-long fundraiser at a local coffee & smoothie store in downtown Ventura, Juice and Java on Chestnut. 20% of all sales go to Tony during the week of April 21-27. Then Jeff Landau's Night of Improv is happening on Sunday April 27 just across the street from the Juice and Java store. As of yesterday, the event sold out of all 80 seats (and a few more).

Last Saturday evening Carrie, Aunt Harriet, Uncle Roy, and few others went to the annual Ventura County Peace Officers Association awards banquet at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Honored for their heroics during the December 19 accident were citizens Steffanie Zeravica and Heriberto Torres, and USAF Security Police officers Jason Brown and James Dusenberry. It was a beautiful and emotional ceremony. Shawna Davidson and Shawn Quirk were snapping lots of photos, so I'll post some when they send them to me.
