The Chapter kicked off the Independence Day celebration with
a night at the ballpark on Sunday, July 3, at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater.
Pool professionals, their families, and friends, enjoyed an all-you-care-to-eat
buffet in the Big Shark Cafe, the baseball game, and an outstanding post-game
fireworks show. Thank you to everyone who came out to join us for an evening of
food, fun and fireworks!
The Chapter Board met Tuesday, July 5
at Queen’s Pizza in Clearwater. Thank you to Alex Fletcher and AquaWorx
for sponsoring the lunch. The next Chapter Board of Directors meeting will be
held at noon on Tuesday, August 2 at Bayou Club, 7979 Bayou Club Blvd., Largo.
The Chapter’s Board of Directors meetings are usually scheduled for the first
Tuesday of the month. All Chapter members are welcome to attend. We are always
interested in hearing your ideas for Chapter meetings and programs.
On Monday, June 20, the Chapter presented Radiant Aquatics
with a donation for swim lessons. Radiant Aquatics provides swim lessons at the
Clearwater High School pool. They offer scholarships for foster children.
Through our donation last year and a matching grant, they were able to teach
more than 30 children in the foster program how to swim.
