LOOKING FOR HELP
Pacific Masters meets every other month at Heather Farms for our
monthly meeting. There are some members who live far away who would
like participate by phone. We do not have a land line there and most
mobile phones do not have the sensativity to pickup the sounds of
what people are saying. We are looking for a solution so swimmers
from far away can participate. If you think you have a solution,
please contact michael at mailto:chairman at pacificmasters.org
