I fully support the building of a new pool. It will be an extremely valuable community asset that has been missing from the fabric of our community for too long now.

It is important to me that the youth in our community have recreational opportunities.

Paying for a pool is far cheaper than paying for the complications of obesity and our community needs a healthy option for exercise and gatherings.

I support the development of the community pool because I have volunteered leading water aerobics in the past and believe this resource is needed. Our children need to learn to swim with so many bodies of water in our region. Healthy community assets include a pool facility. The White Salmon Valley is worthy of this support.

The community of white salmon and surrounding areas need a pool to teach our children to swim and provide pool access for recreation and fitness to the rest of the population.

We loved our old pool and are so looking forward to the new pool. Such a great asset to our community!

I’m a parent of little ones. I’m a healthcare provider and business owner in this community. I want to see our kids have safe, healthy opportunities for recreation. A community pool would also offer an option for seasonal exercise for adults too. This project is long overdue for our community. I strongly support this and my business is willing to donate funding to aid in this endeavor.

I'm signing because we need a community pool. Our kids need swim lessons and the high schoolers should have an option for competition. Water aerobics for seniors- of course!

I live in white salmon and have a new daughter. I have very fond memories of public pools growing up, but didn't get to go as often as we would've liked because it was a small community, still we didn't have our own. I'd love for my daughter to have more swim time available than I did

Nathan Keeley (Hood River, 2022-02-13)

I am signing this document because I feel very strongly that White Salmon will benefit greatly from having a swimming pool. This is a very valuable community asset and some public resources need to compliment all the fund raising that Lloyd DeKay has inspired!!

The Pool has always been an asset to White Salmon, as a focal point, an accessible/affordable healthy activity, and a point of pride. Kids learned the critical skills of swimming and water safety and had a healthy, supportive place to be during the summer. We need to rebuild this pool.

Laurie Stanton (White Salmon, 2022-02-14)

A new pool in White Salmon provides recreational, social and safety benefits at modest expense to the entire western Klickitat community.

I believe the pool contributes to the wellbeing of my community. I grew up here and learned to swim in the old pool. I want my grandchildren to have that same opportunity.

I'm signing for all the reasons listed in this petition. I believe in this project and all the good it will bring to the community. So much work has already gone into it to be where it is but we need help!

I'm signing because this would bring our community closer together, white, Hispanic, and Native American. And it would help our older folks maintain flexibility, strength, and balance. And it would help decrease childhood obesity. I am a Family Physician.

To support the health and recreation for our communities.

I have been a water aerobics instructor at the former White Salmon Community Pool. This exercise helps many members keep their fitness level strong, assist with joint replacement, lower blood pressure, and enjoy fitness time with friends and neighbors. I still have members stop me in local stores while I am shopping reminding me that they miss the exercise and hope a new pool will be built soon. We have a wonderful, close community and a pool would keep our citizens fit, learning to swim, and enjoying water in a safe environment.

Geraldine Dennis (White Salmon, 2022-02-15)

This would create a healthy recreation opportunity and increase a sense of community for all ages in White Salmon.

A pool would be a great resource for families in the community as well as the large and growing community of white water enthusiasts. The pool would promote health and wellness and be a place for families to have fun in the winter months. Let’s make it happen!

This pool is very important to the health of our community and the safety of our children. It provides healthy play and exercise for all ages and abilities and monetary scale - more than any other facility in our community. It is supported by community groups such as Rotary, Soroptimist International, Lions, Elks and others. This is a NEED in our community and others in a 25 mile radius.

A pool is a much needed amenity for our kids and community. Learning to swim saves lives and creates life long positive health benefits.

I'm signing because I grew up in WS with a pool during the summer. I lived in it and it was our daytime social community activity. It was healthy clean fun for children. I prayed and asked every year after about getting a closed in pool we could have year around and do state compititions in. My friends were in state compititions in their closed in year round school pool programs. I'm also signing because I think it's time to get this done. This step should have been completed before the destruction of the pie in the sky pool promise and the destruction of the pool for the community. But now, let's get it done.

The City of Bingen has always supported the community pool by paying for free pool passes and swim lessons for Bingen residents. We look forward to the new pool and supporting this project!

I grew up in WS and the pool was a vital part of our summers - so much fun! Swim lessons, socializing, and just plain all around fun with the many, many friends. It's a great way to build friendship and community.

The pool has been a huge benefit to our community and with its decommissioning in 2019, we've had a huge gap in our lives. The pool provides recreation, water safety education, and health benefits to community members & visitors alike.

I support local families having the opportunity to enjoy cooling off on a hot summer day and learning the life saving skill of how to swim.
