Well, we did it!  We kicked off our newest program with new toys, new volunteers and a lot of smiling faces!   Check out the pictures by clicking here.

 

Make a tax-deductible donation. It would help so much. -

We do an enormous amount of work for a little money.  We run the club for about $1000 a month.  Our insurance alone is over $7000 a year.  That leaves $416 a month to pay mortgage, utilities, supplies, lifeguards,  maitenance etc.

We could use some help right now on a few things.  Our time is best utilized working directly with the community on health.  Fund raising takes us away from what we do best.  If you could help us out with a donation it would be a great help to us and the community.

Our life vests are worn out.  We estimate it will cost about $4000 to replace them and set up a sanitatation program for them.  We are getting a wonderful cost on the vests.  You can buy one for us for $40.  It will allow many folks to enjoy exercise and adventure.  We even change some folks lives.  We could really use your help.  Thank you.
