Wanted: Cake Flushing Photos & Videos
October 21, 2010 by Editor ·
My father is putting together a “cake flushing” video for the Thanksgiving Weekend “Tribute to Cameron” and he asked me to pull together photos and videos.
Friends of Cam (especially those of you in college): please take a short video, or a series of photos, showing you flushing “cake for Cam”. We’d especially like the photos or videos to include some shots showing where you are (such as a sign of your college).
When you are done, email me and I’ll tell you how to upload your piece to my MobileMe iDisk.
Thanks,
Gabby Wimer

A Celebration of Cameron’s Life
October 4, 2010 by Editor ·
The Bruce family invites Cameron’s friends, teachers, coaches and teammates to participate in a tribute to Cameron during the late afternoon of November 27, 2010, the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. (The exact time and location of the tribute will be announced later in October.) Cameron’s parents and Margot want to offer Cameron’s friends a chance to remember him in their own way, whether with words, music, or something unique.
If you wish to play some music, sing, read a poem, perform a skit or share a treasured memory during the celebration, the Bruce family would like to hear from you. They also will need logistical and technical help with the celebration. If you want to participate, please send an e-mail to Friends of Cameron Bruce, outlining what you would like to do.
Cameron’s parents and Margot will take your ideas and – with the help of friends – put together a program that truly will be a tribute to Cameron’s life and the way he affected us all.
New Assistant Coach
October 3, 2010 by Marcia Goodgame ·
Lyes Mahfoudia has resigned as assistant swimming coach to spend more time with his family and to focus on his swimming lessons program, Children of the Sound. Thank you, Lyes, for all that you have done for Staples Swimming – we will miss you.
The new assistant coach is Clayton Goodgame, who will join the team in December. Clayton swam for Staples for four years, specializing in the breastroke and freestyle, serving as a captain in 2005. He taught swimming privately and for Westport’s Longshore program for several years, and went on to swim for Kenyon College, graduating in 2009. He has been working for a non-profit organization in the Middle East for the past year, and will be returning in a couple of months. Welcome, Clayton!
Please stayed tuned for an announcement about the date and time of the pre-season parent and athlete meeting, coming shortly.
