Thanks for Everything

Park would like to thank everyone for a successful 2013 season with extra thanks going out to Manager, Mark Jacob and Head Guard, Amanda MacMurchy and all of the pool staff. We are still busy planning our staffing support for 2014 so look for additional staffing news as we get closer to the season.

News from the Board

The Park Board has eight returning members for 2014. We still have four openings on the board so if you have some extra time and talent please consider joining the board at the Park Swim Club. You will enjoy the experience while making a contribution to a wonderful organization. Please contact a board member if you are interested in being on the board. A complete list of board member information is listed below.

PSC 2013 BUDGET

Park finished 2013 with a balanced budget thanks to the hard work of many pool members to support several fundraising activities in 2013 including the Night at the Races, Hoagie Sale and the Perogie sale. With similar fundraising activities this year we expect 2014 to be financially sound as well. It will be essential that the pool members work together to generate additional funding for the pool. The board will be reaching out during the season so please step-up to support the pool.

Pool Repairs

This spring we expect to be replacing the wall between the upper and lower deck. Stay tuned as we may need some muscle to carry blocks and mortar for the project. As additional funds become available we will continue to direct resources at improving the pool infrastructure

needs including upgrading the piping system, deck area and main pool building. As projects arise we will be reaching out to pool members for a helping hand.

Fundraising

Special thanks to Jayne Leix and Mindy Ulyas for sponsoring the PSC Ice Skating event in December. Everyone had a great time and we were able to raise some funds for the pool. Hopefully we can have another skating event next winter. In addition, Park will be sponsoring a variety of fundraising activities throughout the year including Perogie and Hoagie sales as well as the Annual Night at the Races Event. Please contact Jennifer McDowell or Jayne Leix if you have additional fundraising ideas. More information will be distributed regarding the Night at the Races once the season begins. Keep watch for other events and activities in 2014. As an additional note, the PSC is a Tax Exempt 501 C 3 organization. So among other benefits, Park can now accept tax deductible donations. If you would like to make a donation to park or have any other ideas for fundraising, please contact one of the board members. Please remember that fundraising is one of our few alternatives to keep the pool financially stable and we need your help to make it work!

PSC EMPLOYEES

Employees from last summer and any others interested in working at Park (lifeguard & concession stand workers) please contact Dan Corletti by April 30 to express your interest in working for the 2014 season. Please remember that you or your family must have a pool membership to be a pool employee.

Swim Team Update

Park enjoyed an exciting 2013 season with the “Park Sharks” swim team. The team worked very hard and is looking forward to hitting the water

again in 2014. Our “team mom” Ed Vojtek will continue into 2014 and is preparing to lead the Sharks in another successful season. If your child is interested in a great sport and a fun summer activity, consider joining the Park Shark swim team. More information on the swim team will be distributed in the coming months.

PSC “Fence Sponsors”
