This Friday night. which | will mark the fifth official opening of Weston Pool,\ the Weston Businessmen‘s Association will kick off the night with a gala parade starting from Town Hall at ' o .an Tomnt 8:00 p.m When most of. the required $90,000., had been raised, a contract for construction was let late in 1958 and the pool was ready for use the following spring. However such is the business world that finishing touches could not be added until several fine Weston citizens signed personal notes to the financiers exâ€" ceeding $30,000 to let the dream become a renli(y.‘ Nor could we ever omit credit to the other clubs who | did so much â€" Rotary, Kiwanis, and Legion. Headlines in the Times & Guide summed up the | situation very well on that memorable day four years | ago â€" "After 4 Years of Hard Work â€" wWESTON | SWIMMING POOL OPENS SATURDAY â€" Firsty Plunge at Last A Reality." | After donating the land on which the pool now stands, Lions (bless their big hearts) started pumping cash into the project starting with a survey for the best design and then, under the chairmanship of Dr. Alan J. Bull, donated $1500. (which eventually grew to $15,000) to start the fundâ€"raising campaign that saw over 90% of all Westonians dishing out for the good of their town. Back in 1955, the Recreation Commission passed along an idea to Council, who in turn turned to the Weston Lions Club to spearhead a fundâ€"raising camâ€" paign for a Weston Pool. Exactly four years ago today a great event took place in the town of Weston: the Weston Area Swimâ€" ming Pool became a reality. On June 20th, 1959, which happened to be a Saturday, the first youngster taking a flying jump into the clear, pure waters of the new Lâ€"shaped pool marked the successful end of four years hard work by the Recreation Commission, service clubs and the citizens of Weston toward a common end: the proviâ€" sion of safe water sport for the people, but especially the youngsters, of our town. are drawn Friday â€" at ;/\ The Weston Swimming Pool â€" 9:15 P.M Take an oxcart, a car, a boat, a plane . . . but BE THERE . ..
