FWYC Letter Log December 2013 | Page 13

Page 13 From the Pool Committee… Last month, things were looking up as our membership increased to 306, but November has been a disaster with the loss of eight members and only one new member joining us. Now at 299, it will be tough to meet our budgeted obligations for 2014. The pool continues to offer the hope of rebuilding our membership by attracting younger members and families. So far, more than 60 FWYC members have contributed to the pool project. All but four have fulfilled their pledges. As of 11/20/13, the Pool Fund bank account has a balance of $84,778 plus deposits in transit of $4,400. The project financing breaks down as follows: Pledged Contributions: Promised Fulfilled Outstanding Donations $34,350 $31,415 $2,900 Loans $65,100 $58,600* $6,500 Total $99,450 $90,015 $9,400 Pool Party Funds Needed to Meet $100,000 Goal *Includes $4,100 in matching funds from Pool Committee Shortfall $9,985 (554) $9,431 We need less than $10,000 to fully fund the pool project. That would happen if all the pledged contributions that are outstanding are fulfilled. Unfortunately, it does not look promising, so I must ask one more time for contributions. Please consider making a $300 donation and be recognized as a supporter with an engraved paver placed on the pool deck. Or make a $500 or $1000 loan. The repayment plan is working and has already accumulated $2800. Your loan could be repaid as early as April 2014. All you need to do is to write a check to "FWYC Pool Fund,” note whether it is a donation or loan and mail or hand deliver your contribution to the club office. Remember, if you are a new contributor, the Pool Committee will match your contribution. If you have any questions, please call me at 850-978-7733.
