Save the Bay Swim: I’m going to be swimming the Bay on Saturday and I wanted to connect with NK swimmers, kayakers or volunteers so maybe we could arrange a photo before or after the swim. If you are participating, shoot me an email (elizabeth.mcnamara@patch.com). If by chance you are interested in donating, you can support me in my swim here. Thanks.
