Letter to Mayor Don Jones from Buzz Wojecki |
Scope & Content |
Letter sent to Mayor Don Jones in regards to keeping the Mike Wood's swimming pool open longer durning summer. Tues. Aug. 13, 1985 Don, This petition was given to me to give to you. Closing the pools early has been a source of contention every summer and I recall the public at large is mostly unaware of the problem related to operating the pool. I spoke at length with JoAnn McMahorn about the early closing and I understand the problem you are facing perhaps if operating cost (pumping, filtration, and chemicals) are not overwhelming, you could contract with Mrs. Mims to handle this effect. The ladies on this petition have also expressed a willingness to pay a use fee ($1 to $2 per person). In connection with this could we designate a pool in South Bossier (Mike Woods, of course) and a pool in North Bossier (Shed Road) and keep the open through Labor Day…Running an after school- early evening program? This would be great! Please let me know if we can accommodate these ladies. My Best, Buzz _______________________________________________________________________ 9 August 1985 Mayor Don Jones Bossier City, LA. We, the undersigned, have very much enjoyed, and benefitted by, the ladies' water exercise classes at Mike Woods pool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 12:00 to 1:00 P.M. We respectfully request that the pool be kept open beyond the announced closing date of 19 August until the end of September. Perhaps an arrangement could be made whereby we could help defray expenses. Your consideration will be appreciated. Sincerely, Betty MimsDiana Jones Sharon CalginJean Gilland Della J.
