Let The Sun Shine On The Smithfield YMCA Pool

For the first time in over 40 years the Smithfield (RI) YMCA indoor swimming pool is bathed in sunlight!
Smithfield YMCA CEO Harold Hemberger (pictured) is overseeing a $750,000 comprehensive make-over of the YMCA's natatorium - new structural steel roof, new water-tight roofing, air exchange system, and lighting.
Harold reports that the project is on schedule for completion at year-end, with a grand re-opening planned for right after the first of the year.
The project is funded by generous grants, prinicipal among them gifts from the Champlin Foundation, the Ocean State Charities, June Rockwell Levy Foundation, the Rhode Island Shriners' Foundation, and a Friend of the Smithfield YMCA, who wishes to remain anonymous.
