Admin’s Note

The recent news about the pool renovation has reinforced the importance of community support. It’s surprising to see how much of an impact individual donations can have. I believe the incorporation of measures against heatstroke is especially crucial at this time. With a safe and enjoyable environment now in place, we can expect many families to benefit from it. I hope to see more community support like this in the future.
