Communication This email comes from the Franklin Knolls pool Google Groups list. Anyone should be able to join this group now via the pool website (FranklinKnollsPool.com). Facilities Please help the staff by reminding your kids of a couple of "high-frequency whistle" issues this weekend:
The board is working with the staff to help create family-oriented and summer festive music at the pool via the radio and streaming services. The radio reception was corrected for a while but regressed for some reason this weekend. Comments You may submit comments, suggestions, and commendations using the website. To do so, go to the Contact/Forms page. Those will be seen by the pool board only. The pool opens at 11 am daily beginning June 10. Pool closes at 8:45 pm most evenings but earlier for a few special events and July 4th.
