Our summer programming continues to be a great success, thanks to the dedication and hard
work of our staff. Meaghan and | have been pulled in many different directions this season,
and we are incredibly grateful for our day camp and aquatics teams. They have done a
phenomenal job, and we are fortunate to have such a committed group supporting our
programs.

Our July 3 celebration was another successful event. A special thank you goes to Meaghan
Tent for coordinating the festivities once again, all while managing the first week of our day
camps. We would also like to thank our generous sponsors for supporting both the parade and
the fireworks display. Their continued support makes this community celebration possible.

The Community Pool has been extremely popular during the hot, dry weather in July. We have
experienced a significant increase in daily admission visitors this season, putting us on pace to  |
exceed our annual revenue goal.

In mid-July, our lifeguards participated in our annual "Guard Games," where staff members
were divided into teams and competed in a variety of knowledge- and skill-based challenges.
We closed out the night with some water polo and pizza.
