Meet Zink

ByThe Dude
“You have to be odd to be number one.”
~Dr. Seuss~

Some people ease into a room.

Zink is certainly not one of them.

From day one she came out swinging — big personality, big laugh, bigger presence. While her brother Tink was busy calculating his next move, Zink had already taken over the room, made three new friends, and was running the show.

She’s a goalie. Lacrosse AND field hockey. Both. If you don’t know what that means — a goalie stands between the chaos and the net and says not today. That’s Zink in a nutshell.

She’s headed off to college next fall to spread her wings and lock it up. They have no idea what’s coming.

Bold, pretty, athletic, and a handful in the best possible way.

Welcome to the River, Zink. 🏞️

Thought for the Day
The world doesn’t need more people who blend in. Show up loud. Show up bold. Show up as exactly who you are.
