Dear Friends,
As you know, Seattle public pools are overflowing and overbooked.  Project Seattle Pools needs your help to convince City leaders that it’s time to add public pools.  Letters from ordinary citizens like us who care about public facilities have a big impact on public officials.

Subscribe to www.seattlepools.org for updates on how to send your letters at just the right time and to just the right person to have the biggest impact. 

If you don’t want to wait, you can send letters of support for pools to City officials at any time using these instructions.

Email elizabeth@seattlepools.org (Citywide coordinator) or aimee@seattlepools.org (Southeast coordinator) if you have questions or would like to join our team.

Thanks for your help!

It will take a broad-based movement to get pools built in Seattle.  We need your help to leverage your networks and reach out to your community.  Roles we need filled:

• Swim Team & Masters Team Reps.  Post fliers at team practices.  Email your team members.  Speak up at team meetings.  Chat with other parents in the bleachers.  Get info into team newsletters.
• School Reps.  Make sure announcements get into your school’s newsletters.
• Community Club Reps.  Ask your Community Club to write a letter of support.  Get info into your neighborhood’s newsletter.  Put up fliers in your neighborhood.
• Private Pool Reps.  Even though private pool members already have access to pools, they know friends who can’t get in off of waiting lists.  Can you get the word out to members and wait lists?
• Core Planning Team Members. 

Please email elizabeth@seattlepools.org to join our team in any capacity.

Bonus for Volunteer Reps:  An email address @seattlepools.org if you’d like one.
