Whitman Swimmers

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

December 2nd through 4th was an exciting weekend  for fifteen Whitman College swimmers.  They were participants in the 63rd Annual Husky Invitational Swim meet in Federal Way, Washington.  There were more than two dozen universities, colleges, and club teams represented at the King Co. Aquatic Center.  We want to congratulate Helen Jenne who broke a school record in the 100 yd freestyle and Karl Mering who broke school records in both the 50 yd freestyle and the 100 yd butterfly! (You can find more details on the Whitman College Athletics web page)  We know the Whitman swim team will go far this year!

A Fun Night Out!

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

Last Saturday night we had the privilege to provide a night out for some of Walla Walla’s police officers and their families.  We loaded up about 40 passengers and headed to Kennewick to watch the Tri-cities Americans hockey game.  It was a great time to kick back, relax, eat some junk food and watch their favorite team win! Thank you to all of our law enforcement officers for all that you do for our community!

Making Beautiful Music

Friday, November 25th, 2011

We love young people and we love great music which is why we love providing transportation for the Walla Walla Valley Academy Orchestra. As you can imagine, it can be difficult to get a group of over 30 musicians and their instruments from point A to point B for their concerts. We have adequate storage for the larger instruments and plenty of seats so the whole group can travel together.
Under the direction of Benjamin Gish, these talented young people share their musical gifts with not only our local community, but with communities across the state, and even in foreign countries. (Last summer they spent 10 days performing in Vienna, Salzburg, and Prague.)
Recently, we had the pleasure of taking them to the Seattle area where they performed for residents of a nursing home and two different churches.

 However, this trip was not all work and no play. They were given the wonderful opportunity to go to a performance of the Seattle Symphony while they were there. We look forward to going on more trips with them.
