Keep Olney Beautiful gives thanks for ‘banner year’
Dear Olney Citizen,
The Keep Olney Beautiful Committee extends our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support in 2024. Your involvement, whether through volunteering your time, donating resources, or simply spreading the word about our events and initiatives, has been instrumental in transforming our town over the years. Our mission to create a more welcoming and pleasant place to live through various beautification projects would not be possible without your support.
2024 was a banner year for Keep Olney Beautiful and the City of Olney. After years of planning and fundraising, we successfully completed the new city pool project. The City of Olney officially opened the pool to the public in early July after several summers of closures and saw incredible attendance throughout the summer. Among many others, our most sincere appreciation goes to all who donated funds to make this project possible, the City of Olney employees who helped facilitate the construction of the pool and the continued maintenance and upkeep, and the staff and lifeguards who made it a fun, safe place for all to enjoy the hot summer months. We look forward to seeing the facility in use for years to come.
Looking ahead, we continue to maintain a project pipeline alongside our fundraising efforts. Among these projects is enhanced lighting at the Tom Griffin Park, landscaping at the city pool, and small-scale parks and/or playground equipment in various locations throughout Olney. The Committee remains eager to implement these projects as fundraising allows.
The support of our citizens has not only beautified our town, but it has also strengthened the community spirit and sense of unity. We look forward to continuing this journey with you as we strive to continuing making Olney a wonderful place to live and visit. As always, we welcome feedback and ideas to help brighten the place we call home. If you wish to contribute, please send your tax-deductible donations to Keep Olney Beautiful, P.O. Box 501 Olney, TX 76374. Thank you for believing in our mission and for being an integral part of our success.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Kyle Turner President Keep Olney Beautiful
