Seaforth Lions halfway to $50,000
goal for pool renovation project
Susan H u n d e r t m a r k
With half of the $50,000 goal
fundraised already, work is
scheduled to begin this week on
renovations to Lions Pool, says
organizer Bob Beuttenmiller.
"The fundraising is coming
well. We've raised $25,000,
which is super: good - we're
halfway," says Beuttenmiller.
He says cheques started to
flow the day the Huron
Expositor published its first
story about the pool project in
February.
"Two people phoned that day - they wanted me to pick
up their cheques right away," he says.
Beuttenmiller says quite a number of cheques have
been written for $1,000 each.
"I'm not surprised that
people are being so generous.
The Lions pool has been
established for so long that
there have been a lot of swim-
ming lessons, picnics and
good times there," he says.
Huron East's donation of
$5,000 is also generous, says
Beuttenmiller.
"They've shown they're
committed to the project with
one-tenth of what we need and that kicks things off for
us," he says.
A Trillium Foundation grant of $40,000 was also
announced Monday towards the Lions pool, particularly
aimed at the safety and accessibility of the pool for peo-
ple with disabilities. Part of the $225,000 project
involves making the pool more accessible with ramps at
the stairway leading into the pool and a removable set
of stairs that will allow anyone having :difficulty with
the ladders to walk into the pool.
Beuttenmiller says the Lions asked for $75,000 but
he's still thrilled.with $40,000, saying that the Trillium
Foundation gets hundreds of requests for funding all
the time.
Other community projects that are planned to help
raise money for the Lions includes the Mother's Day
dinner at the Seaforth Legion on May 14, a donation
from both the branch and the Ladies' Auxiliary.
A mail -out campaign is still ongoing for the Lions
pool and Beuttenmiller says cheques are still being
accepter at Box 321, Seaforth, Ont. with receipts issued
for any donation over $10.
Beuttenmiller says the fencing around the pool was
being taken down Monday with machinery that will
excavate the deck and knock down the deep end wall
happening either Tuesday or Wednesday (April 19).
Because rainy weather will slow the work,
Beuttenmiller says he's hoping for a dry month when "a
lot could be completed."
After school lessons in June have been delayed by one
week to give the Lions some breathing space with the
project.
"We want
it completed and
ready to go June
15. It's a pretty
tight schedule,"
s a y s
Beuttenmiller.
