END OF SUMMER UPDATE 2025 ⛱️

• BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! The Summer Splash Bash will be held again this Summer at the Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool. The event is sponsored by the Upper Valley Aquatics Boosters (UVAB) in partnership with the Upper Valley Parks & Recreation Service Area (PRSA) and the City of Leavenworth.  Additional sponsors are Munchen Haus, Waste Loop & Thrivent. Come join us from 1-6pm on Saturday, August 23, 2025 for FREE Food, Fun & Prizes! 

• The UVAB will need volunteers and/or donors to help with this year's Splash Bash.  We need adults who can assist with planning, advertising, soliciting donations or prizes, set-up, games, food-serving, or clean-up. If you can help, please click on the Signup Genius Link  or on the "Donate Link" below.

• We are currently working on becoming a 501(c) organization (a non-profit group exempt from federal income tax). Until then, we are entering a Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with the Leavenworth Swim Team.  This will enable us to accept tax-deductible donations until we have our own 501(c) designation.   In the meantime, tax deductible donations can be made by making checks payable to the "Upper Valley Swim Team" with a memo on the check stating, "For the UVAB"

• The UVAB now has a Board of Directors (in alphabetical order):
  Brian Decker (Vice-President)
  Janet Johnson
  Nichol Mathers
  Mara Merritt
  Ann Murray (Treasurer)
  Kurt Peterson (President)
  Celeste Peterson (Secretary)
  Jenna Swalin

• Board Meetings will be held every two weeks.  They are open to the public and are listed on our site calendar on the Events Page.

• The city implemented a new online system for registering guests this summer.  There is a link to the pool's website at the bottom of this page.

• Sincere Thanks to Kelly Lemons and her Team who managed and guarded the pool this summer.  Although we had a late start to the season, folks in our community had a wonderful time at the pool and appreciate your work!

Donations are welcome!
