Roy Jenkins Pool Open Year Round!
Have you wished that our community pool would be open year round. The Davis Islands Civic association in coordination with Islands residents are working to make this a reality. If you desire a year round pool feel free to send a quick note of support to our Tampa City Councilman Harry Cohen (CJo.Ford@tampagov.net) The community is working with Councilman Cohen and the Mayor’s office to help both raise funds for the necessary heaters, as well as have annual long-term budget support to sustain the pool for year round service. Also, if you are interest in helping on this project please contact the Davis Islands Civic Association at president@dicivic.org.
The next meeting of the DI Civic Association will be held Tuesday April 5th at the Sandra Freedman Tennis Complex, starting at 7pm.
