GENERAL MANAGER REPORT
Dear members,
The past couple of weeks have been slow though the weather has been perfect! Judging by summer camp sign-ups, the Club will start to get busier next week until school starts! Also, keep a look out for the Café specials - Food and Beverage Director, Bren Boyd is both creative and an excellent Chef!
 Earlier this week, Club member Dick Jones was the distinguished recipient of the French Legion of Honor Award given by the French Consulate General in San Francisco. Dick participated in World War II during the liberation of France and Paris where he received two Purple Hearts and two Bronze Medals. Dick was TPC President in 1999. We congratulate him on this prestigious award. The TPC Challenger sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank this year will be played September 26 through October 4. Contact Brendan Curry at Brendanc@Tiburonpc.org for box and ticket information.
Till next week,
Jerry Pang
General Manager

ONE-ON-ONE
with Kirsten Frazer, Aquatics Coordinator
Congratulations on becoming our new Aquatics Coordinator, how does it feel?
Thanks, I am really excited about my new position. I really appreciate all the compliments and congratulations I have received from the membership. It definitely feels good to be recognized for all my hard work.
Can you share with us what it was like to grow up at the TPC and swimming for Ken De Mont?
Many of my fondest memories as a kid are here at TPC, I would say the peak of my competitive swimming career was as a TPC Shark when we swam in the Marin Swim League. The meets here were the best, laying sleeping bags out on the amphitheater seats by the Main Pool, the team cheers and RACING!! I loved the relays and team camaraderie. I was often the anchor of the relays because I was so competitive...this earned me the nickname Anchor by my brothers. Swimming has a unique way of teaching kids about individual and team aspects of sport. Those years swimming for Ken really shaped who I am today. I learned about dedication & commitment, success & failure, competitiveness & passion, all while learning to swim like a fish and having a ton of FUN!!
