We want to thank those of you that have shared your concerns and encouragement over the last week. We as a board felt it important to share the intimate details of your pool to give you the opportunity to choose to support SORA or let it retire. Although the numbers are bleak, we do not believe it is hopeless just yet. We have come so far over the off-season and the swim season is before us now. Our ability to remain open for the duration of the summer will depend directly on each and every member's participation. It is really quite simple, we as members of SORA we must find new members. If not, we must pay higher dues. SORA has heavily depended on anonymous donations and previous year's savings over the past few years. The savings have dried up and we cannot continue to rely upon these donations as heavily as we have. Although grateful for these generous members, we endanger our current 501(c)(7) tax exempt status as a non-profit social club. Without this tax status, we would be required to pay property and income taxes that we could not afford in any capacity.

We look forward to seeing you Monday, April 27th 7:00pm at the pool for our Membership meeting. The meeting agenda will be emailed out Sunday April 26th for your review. We hope that our meeting is both informative and productive. Attendance is highly advised as voting is likely.
