WILLIAMS—The Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center (FWAC/Blog) is seeking volunteers to fill 2 Board of Director positions. The election will be held on Monday, March 19 at the Williams Youth Recreation Center from 6:30 to 8 PM.

The positions are open to any legal resident of the United States. You don’t need to be a resident of Williams to run. The positions are open to anyone desiring to assist the community.

The Board usually meets monthly between March and September in order to plan and hold fundraisers. The meetings are open to the public.
