Fun, New, Good Things...


Our 2012 swim season is about to officially start and we have lots of fun, new, good things to report...

  • We have over 20 new families joining us this year!
  • We have more sponsors than ever before (details about that coming soon). 
  • Our 3 new Board members (Sarah, Glen and Jeff) are welcome additions and seriously, our Board is the best group of volunteers ever. 
  • Have you seen the new Nick Sheffey memorial bike rack? It looks awesome! Thank you, Braden Buck for installing it and thank you to everyone who donated. 
  • The baby pool has two new shade umbrellas (and double bonus - you can roll them around).
  • Our bathrooms have been totally renovated! Just kidding. Maybe next summer? But we do have a new door on the men's bathroom b/c the other one broke (twice). 
  • We got a new container to hold all the community life vests, pool noodles, etc at the baby pool.  
  • We bought a new grill - yes, another one. We are hard on our grills.  
  • Our kitchen floor was stripped down and freshly painted (thank you Sarah Ferrara and Jen Murphy).
  • Our kitchen fridge was also painted, so it looks newish. 
  • We got a new freezer for ice cream and ice (oh, wait, that was last summer - but we are still excited about it!). 
  • We got a new motor for the baby pool (ok, that's not exciting, and it was expensive, but now everything works). 
  • Nick is returning as lifeguard manager (that's the best news of the summer!), along with Joseph, plus one new guard (details coming soon). 
  • We already booked a professional DJ for July 4th. Yep, we are taking it up a notch.
  • We have been making some serious pre-payments towards our loan balance - our financial future looks good! 

That's all I can think of for now. Looks like 2012 is going to be another great season!
