DONATIONS NEEDED (See also: FREE CLASSIFIEDS PAGE WANTED SECTION.)
The original Lowden Park Pool served Trinity County for 44 years, until in 2004 when pool could not be opened because of its deteriorating condition. In 2005, Lowden Aquatic Park Project (LAPP) formed, as a volunteer non-profit corporation, to support operation and maintenance of historic and dysfunctional Weaverville pool, until a pool that would meet current health and safety codes could replace it. In 2008, they did it! Using grants, donations, and hard working volunteers, they finished new Lowden Park Pool! It has been an amazing project, with local contractors and residents donating over 3500 hours of labor in just 3 months to build all aspects of project outside of actual pool shell. Pool contractor estimated they saved at least $800,000 by using this approach and said that he had never seen a project of this size come together so quickly. However, they are still about $60,000 short of having needed funds to finish children’s splash area, the next piece of LAPP vision. To meet this short-fall, LAPP has been applying for additional grants and has scheduled their annual Luau fund-raiser and silent auction-dinner for March 27th. The Big Splash, the opening dive in the pool, will be held May 8th. They now respectfully request your assistance with donations. All donations are tax deductible and will be used directly in construction of children’s splash area or to cover this year’s operations and maintenance costs. Certificates of appreciation will be mailed to donors of greater than $250, and for donors of over $1,000, a permanent sign will be posted at the pool in acknowledgement. Lowden Park facility will support large swim events/meets, provide swim lessons and recreational swimming opportunities, and benefit children and families of Trinity County. They hope to hold first swim meet since 2000 this summer. LAPP and residents of Trinity County would greatly appreciate any donation that you might provide, in the form of merchandise or funding. More info about events or donations: call Brandt Gutermuth, LAPP Treasurer, at 623-2318 (eve) or 739-2802 (days). 2/24/10
