First day of summer yesterday. Another beautiful day forecast for today. And tomorrow the expectation is that humidity will hit us square in face. The type of day that people post new updates on social media saying "in a new relationship with ......air conditioning"

Perfect day to get the community pools open.  And timing is everything.

Do it this summer and watch for events that will contribute to the campaign goal of $160,000 to support capital improvements, services and operations at the pool.  The family pool for many who do not have a backyard pool.
