President’s Letter – Spring 2024

What a great year for SRA… so far! There’s so much more happening for the rest of the year. Now more than ever, SRA is a YEAR-ROUND club!

This calendar year with a delicious Chili Cook-off and another adorable and successful Ice Revue. Our summer pool season was bookended by a fantastic Spring Fling and bigger-than-ever Summer Sendoff. In between were lots of snack bar grill nights, a killer July 4 extravaganza, yet another championship swim team season, and so many other memory-making events and activities.

If you STILL are wondering whether an SRA membership is the best value in town, then just remember that all the details for another skating season are coming right now! Our annual trunk or treat has now grown to be the SRA Halloween Bash! And we’ll have more spectacular winter events – with some special surprise announcements coming soon.

Next year may be our biggest year yet. It’s SRA 75, where we celebrate the club’s diamond jubilee – including our ALL NEW baby pool area! (Of course, please pardon our mess as construction will be happening throughout the winter and into spring.) Stay tuned for more exciting events and announcements – and let us know how you want to help. No matter how far forward we move, the spirit of volunteering is still an essential part of the SRA community.

Thanks so much for being a member of the BEST recreation association in Richmond… and maybe the world?!?! See you soon at SRA!
