Friends and patrons of the OR Nevitt Pool in Raymond, we are at a crossroads.

The swimming pool was able to open and operate for summer 2016 because the board found money outside of regular pool income. Without such outside fundraising, the pool cannot bring in enough money each summer to pay for lifeguards, PUD bills, maintenance or repairs.

This year the board is asking for someone in the community to help raise money by spearheading a dinner, a bingo event, a raffle or any other great fundraising event in order to ensure that the swimming pool can open and operate for summer 2017.

Please call me at 360-942-4610 or email at moserlyric@gmail.com if you can help! Thank you!

Our next pool board meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, at Raymond City Hall.
