WILLIAMS – The action this weekend was not limited to the activities on Route 66. The Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center hosted a Back-to-school free swim with free pizza and snow cones.

The pool will now only operate on Friday and Saturday until the end of the season on August 30. On that day, the Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center will host one last bash. They will accept any volunteer help from the community.

Their next big event after that is a two-person scramble Golf Tournament at the Elephant Rocks Golf Course September 13. The cost is $80 per player. Hole sponsorships are available at three levels.

  • Bronze – $100 includes Bronze level signage at a hole and recognition on their sponsor board
  • Silver – $300 includes Silver level signage at a hole and recognition on sponsor board and two golf registrations
  • Gold – $500 includes Gold level signage at a hole and recognition on the sponsor board plus 4 free golf registrations.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit the activities of the Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center, an Arizona 501(c)3 public charity organization.

The members of the Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center also seek to fill two openings for the nine-member board. The volunteers would be required to attend 8 to 20 meetings a year and help in the events that they plan. The Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center finds ways to raise money to help keep the WAC open and provides help with swimming lessons and programs for children.

They are looking for five people to assist in setting up, serving and clean up for the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament scheduled for Saturday, June 8 beginning at 7:30 am. There will be a deep-pit barbeque of beef, pork and side dishes after the golf tournament that is open to golfers and non-golfers. The volunteers would be required from about 12:30 to 3:30 pm. If you cannot donate time, they are looking for desert items such as pies, cakes, cookies and the like.

If you would be available June 8 to assist for 2-3 hours, please contact Edie by e-mail (ehpoh_at_aol.com), in person, or by phone (635-4784).
