MyGreenLake.com just ran an article that might interest many of you - Green Lake’s Evans Pool just one of many without scholarship money.

According to MyGreenLake.com, scholarship money for swim lessons has already been used up for 2011.  Seattle Parks already reduces its lesson fees for low-income families, but even these reduced fees can be impractical for families.  $19,000 of scholarship money has already been used this year to further lower fees and make swim lessons an option for low-income families.

Parks is putting out a call for donations to keep scholarship funds available. Kathy Whitman, Aquatics Manager for the Seattle Parks Department, provides information on how to donate: SwimScholarships.doc.
