Citizens for Swimming Volunteer Opportunity and Donations Needed

For the past 46 years the Ridgewood organization Citizens For Swimming has raised money to buy Graydon Pool guest badges for children from Paterson to use during the month of August.  These children, members of a youth development program (CAMP YDP) spend four afternoons a week for three consecutive weeks at Graydon under the supervision of CAMP YDP staff with help from adult and youth volunteers recruited by Citizens For Swimming.

Thanks to the generosity of the Ridgewood YMCA, the children receive swim instruction while at Graydon Pool, providing them with water safety skills that will help keep them safe for a lifetime.

Please donate your time or money to this worthy cause by calling Ann Pareti at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, 201-444-6224.

Below is list of weeks available to volunteer:

August 4, 5, 6 and 7
August 11, 12, 13 and 14
August 18, 19, 20 and 21
