Pool Foundation hopes website will increase interest THE TRENTON MUNICIPAL POOL FOUNDATION’S web site has information on the organization, including upcoming meetings and events. In the future, the foundation hopes to make it possible to give donations online. On Friday the foundation held an open house to discuss future plans and attract new members. Pictured around a laptop displaying the group’s new web site are, clockwise from bottom left, Trenton Torpedoes members Kelsey Huelsmann, Lauren Haukapp, and Anna Quitmeyer, pool foundation vice president Doug Denaro, board member Jim Neighbors, treasurer Brent Haukapp, board member Brent Woods, Webs Dot Com owner Chandra Zeisset, Torpedoes member Ellen Maue, and frequent pool user Trey Gibson. The Trenton Municipal Pool Foundation now has a website (www.trentonpool.org) to help its efforts in ensuring the city maintains a working pool. “Hopefully, it will put a face with the group,” said Webs Dot Com owner Chandra Zeisset, who donated the site to the foundation. Zeisset decided to create a site after talking with employee Kelly Wilhelm, who was preparing to attend a foundation meeting one night. “We were trying to think of a way to help them out,” Zeisset said. The site contains minutes from the group’s monthly meetings as well as an electronic form to use to send comments and suggestions. Sponsors to the foundation are recognized in a special section. The group first formed this summer as the Save the Pool Committee and held its first official meeting as the Trenton Municipal Pool Foundation in September. With a substantial leak repaired in late August, the foundation hopes to keep the pool in working condition for as long as three to five years but recognizes that a new pool will eventually be needed. The group is looking into different plans for a new pool, which is expected to cost in the million dollar range. Excluding money that has been set aside for upcoming fundraisers, the organization has raised around $3,000. The group hopes to add money collected over the next few years to that total and use it to obtain some form of matching grant to help with construction of a new pool. The foundation’s next fundraiser is a January 29 showing of the movie “Are We There Yet?” at the New Baden American Legion. The show starts at 2 p.m.; tickets are $3 each. New Year launch for New Baden website The village of New Baden will welcome in the new year with the launch of its first website at www.newbadenil.com on January 1. New Baden’s chamber of commerce currently has a site that includes information on local businesses and the police department, but the new site will focus more on village government and community events. “One of the things that we have (on the site) is who’s on city council and who’s in charge of which committee,” public relations chair Patricia Swank said. Swank’s committee oversaw the creation of the website, which the village board agreed to create in September. The idea was originally a response to what was viewed as lackluster coverage in a local Illinois tourism magazine, which the village paid to be in, and grew into a community service project as well as a way to advertise New Baden. “The purpose of the website is to provide one central location for people to find out information and learn about New Baden,” said website designer Chandra Zeisset. Zeisset’s company, Trenton-based Webs Dot Com, is providing one-year of domain hosting, ten email addresses, and five pages on the site for $650. Additional pages are being considered for the village’s police, fire, and ambulance departments. When it launches, the site will include a listing of local businesses, a brief history of the village, a community calendar, real estate listings, and a list of village board members with contact info and photographs. Minutes from the board’s monthly meetings will also be posted on the site. The information should make it easier for citizens to contact their elected officials and keep abreast of what’s going on in village government. “It’s a way of bringing the community in a little bit more,” Swank said.
