We Did It!




Hey Dunaire....guess what! We have some really great news to share.

Through extremely GENEROUS donations from all corners of Dunaire, we were able to reach our goal and the issues with the Dunaire Community Pool have been resolved (including the removal of a huge dead tree that was threatening to fall and take out the pool).

We already knew that Dunaire is a great place to live. And, we're reminded of it every time we walk out the door and see neighbors helping neighbors and coming together the way we do. An enormous and heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who participated in getting the pool ready for the season and everyone who contributed cash donations to help out. You're all great neighbors!

And a big thank you to Danilo's Professional Landscaping & Tree Service for their hard work and outstandingly reasonable price.
See you at the pool!

Support The Dunaire Community Pool!




The Dunaire Community Pool has given our community a place to have fun, relax, and come together for decades.   It also helps increase Dunaire home values, so each and every Dunaire resident benefits from having this uncommon neighborhood amenity. 

Yearly maintenance runs in the thousands of dollars, and is barely covered by participants' annual dues, and the hard, hard work given by volunteers every year.  

We are ready to open this year with a fresh paint job, some new tropical landscaping, and code required repairs.    It's going to be a great summer pool season.  

But, we need your help!   Some large unexpected costs (including a very large dead tree removal) have come up, and need to be addressed quickly.  

If you haven't been able to contribute your time and energy to the many neighborhood improvement activities that have taken place recently, this is your opportunity to chip in.   Any donation will help.  We really need to get to $3,000 in the next few weeks to ensure the future of this wonderful neighborhood amenity.   If you really can't contibute at this time, no worries.   We, as your friends and neighbors, will be so grateful for anything that you can share.
