Tommorow - Thursday, April 30th will be a short "Beautify the Pool" Day! Come by the pool at 4PM and lend a hand if you're able!

04/24/2026

We are looking for volunteers for this Sunday's "Beautify the Pool" Day!

As a non-profit, CRA looks for every way possible to save money. One way we do this is to host "Member Work Days". The funds we save by doing these projects ourselves can go back into our budget to help CRA grow and thrive.

We will be raking/blowing leaves, planting flowers, painting, cleaning and more! Please bring work gloves and dress comfortably! Leaf blowers, rakes, and other tools would also be super helpful!

Come on our and lend a hand for a few hours to help get our pool ready for the season!

April 26th 12PM-3PM

**This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for community service hours for a school club or civic organization!**
