Support Bay Oaks and Pool

By Staff | Oct 14, 2015

To the editor:

I have lived on Fort Myers Beach since the 1970s. I have seen a lot of changes, especially Town managers. I became a widow in 1989. Since that time, Bay Oaks Rec Center and our beautiful pool have been a big plus in my life. I am by far not the only senior on the Beach that feels this way. I have made lasting friends.

I am urging Town Manager Don Stilwell and the Town Council not to destroy our lives by failing to support Bay Oaks.

Maybe you should put back the $25 annual membership fee for income. We have to advertise the pool more. I love the water aerobics class three times a week. We have a nice class, and the women told me they would support me, need be.

If Mr. Stilwell or Town Council members were widowed, would they want their activities taken away from them? I think not.
