Anonymous donor helps to keep pool open

Officials with The NDC Trotwood YMCA said a financial donation from an anonymous donor will help keep the city’s pool open.

Gayle Horton, the YMCA’s executive director for Community Development, said without the $40,000 donation, the city’s pool, which is located on the campus of the United Theological Seminary att 4501 Denlinger Road, would have closed.

The donation is coming from the deceased donor’s estate.

The seminary owns the outdoor pool, which is 12-foot deep, but YMCA manages it for the city of Trotwood.

The YMCA needs approximately $46,000 to keep the pool open each year, according to Horton. The pool season is between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The next scheduled date for the pool to be open to the public is the Saturday before Memorial Day 2016.

The NDC Trotwood YMCA office is located at 506 E. Main St.
