Every day, the main pool nears closer to completion! Though it may seem a big dirty mess,
our contractors assure us that we're still on pace for our May 18th opening date. The electricians and plumbers are making great progress, and the new concrete should be poured within the next two weeks. To give us time to get the pool "swim ready", we are modifying our opening date to the Week of May 18th. Though we are still aiming for that Monday, this will give us a few extra days to get the chemicals, chairs, new slide, and aquatics staff all oriented and ready to go for the summer season.

- Kids ROK Basketball Program Cancelled due to Weather
Eamonn G Lanigan, 2009/03/27 09:24:28
Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating for tomorrow's program. Although it may not be raining in the morning, the rain today and tonight will make the courts wet and unplayable. They haven't been dry enough to play in the past few days, so I'm certain they won't be any better in the morning.
The program is canceled for tomorrow, but we will reschedule it for another time this summer. Next on the agenda in the Kids ROK series is Jump Rope on 4/18. We'll order better weather...
