June Update

The Water Is Rising!

If you haven’t noticed already, the pool thermometer sign by Loomis Raleys has been updated again to reflect a total of $250,000 raised for the new aquatic center! Thanks to a steady stream of fundraisers: Pennies for the Pool, The 24-Hour Swim A Thon, Casino Night, and the Golf Tournament, along with continued donations to the capital campaign, we have achieved this major milestone. Please use the attached form to make a donation today and help us to our next goal of $500,000. Naming opportunities start as low as $150, and every dollar will be matched by our million dollar matching grant.

Win a Vacation In Puerto Vallarta!

Pizza Factory in Loomis is celebrating their 25th anniversary the last weekend of June! In conjunction with this celebration, the owners, Maren and Eric Lombardi, have generously decided to sponsor a raffle to benefit the new pool. The prize is a week in their beautiful condo in Puerto Vallarta which sleeps 4, valued at $700 (check it out at www.castillobadillo.com). Airfare is not included. Tickets are only $10 apiece or $50 for 6 tickets. The drawing will happen Sunday, July 29, right after Suburban Swim League Champs when the Dolphins traditionally head over to Pizza Factory to celebrate. Pizza Factory has been a Dolphin sponsor for many years. We are grateful to their continued support of our team and the Del Oro Pool. To purchase tickets, you can go to Pizza Factory or contact us at friendsofthedopool@gmail.com.
