Thanks to the hard work of the City of La Crosse working group, plans are still on to open a newly renovated Veterans Memorial Pool & Bathhouse this summer by Memorial Day 2019! We are eager to see the final plans and reach out to the community to build even more support & help raise any funds the City still needs. Over the next week the City Council will vote to approve the designer and the full engineering of the facility, so here is how you can help: 1. SEND A SHORT EMAIL to the City Council, Mayor & City Engineer thanking them & supporting the upcoming vote. Something as simple as: "Thank you for your continued hard work on the Veterans Memorial Pool project. We support the recommendation for the full engineering design and look forward to opening by Memorial Day 2019!". Email TODAY or BEFORE TUESDAY, to: kabatt@cityoflacrosse.org, turtenwaldr@cityoflacrosse.org, zzcouncilmembers@cityoflacrosse.org, savememorialpoollax.edu 2. JOIN OUR TEAM - If you or someone you know would like to join our fundraising team, contribute funds or volunteer your time and skills, please email us at savememorialpoollax@gmail.com.
