Chinc Clark Spirit Award
2016 Lopez Island Parade
Did you see our float at Lopez Island’s 4th of July Parade? FLIP’s Float was a BIG hit with everyone! Our float won the Chinc Clark SPIRIT Award! One person said, “Chinc would have loved this float”! Carolyn McGown, FLIP’s Public Relations Coordinator, organized four synchronized swimmers to perform a humorous routine to classical music in the back of a truck driven by her husband, Bill. The truck, draped in brilliant blue fabric, sewn by Carolyn to look like water, provided the stage for a lot of fun and public awareness. The swimmer’s (Linda Barton, Lisa DiGiorgio, Carolyn McGown and Ann Pottier) chanted, “Get in Sync with FLIP….Support a Pool on Lopez”! Kids joined the parade as well as Ann Auckland who gave out FREE SWIM passes for Opening Day July 4th 2018!
