How wonderful to read that all city pools will be open until Labor Day thanks to the generosity of private donations from the community ("Council calls off emergency meeting on pools," Aug. 12). At the League for People with Disabilities, we understand and are very appreciative of the many generous donors in the Baltimore community. We have embarked on a campaign to raise $1 million to rebuild and restore our 42-year-old therapeutic indoor pool specifically designed for individuals with disabilities in the Baltimore community. We have found that once the public is aware of a critical need, they step forward and give generously.
