We Have a New Look!
by Dottie Buchhagen
The ANCM website has been redesigned thanks to the hard work of the Website Committee chaired by me and consisting of Hannah Rubin and, in the early stages, Todd Moniot and Mia Garcia-Cortez. We have put a lot of work and thought into how to best present our swim team to the public. Content from the old website has been incorporated but in different arrangements.
During the pandemic I made the decision to resign from my positions as newsletter editor, website designer and webmaster, and unofficial team photographer. It seemed like the right decision after volunteering in those capacities since 1997. With the new website, the ANCMs will have a new webmaster – Alex Lunardi. I am sure that she will be great in her position, perhaps for the next 26 years!
