August new pool update

Current funds available for construction of a new pool in Ekalaka are: $49,419.58/town’s restricted cash new pool account (last August they were at $28,406.12); $108,531.43/pool committee funds; $11,945.20/Lions Club; and $12,003.06/Meadowlark Club.

A Go Fund Me page has also been set up for the new pool project. Interested donors can go to the town’s facebook page or to GoFundMe.com and a search for Ekalaka. Please share the information/link with all contacts and friends to get the project completed. Help is needed; spread the word!

Additionally, pool raffle tickets are available at local businesses and the Town Office.
