Hey Everybody-
Guess what? Our coaches positions have been eliminated by the City of Walnut Creek. This is not a joke. Of the Aquatics programs in the city, ours is the only one that operates in the black, and yet they are going to cut it.
If you could, would you shoot a brief e-mail, to the city council and let them know what a successful program this is across the country and in the world. All few hundred of us are doing what we can, but I think it's time to bring in the big guns- you.
Kerry has spent 30 years of his life building this program into what it is today, and helping many of you in the process, please help him and the program that he lives for.
The address is: mayor@walnut-creek.org
and ask them to respond to your e-mail.
Thanks,

Mrs. Duggan,
It is very strange that Kerry's salary is paid half by the city and half by the WCM, yet the city picks up all of his health insurance, and retirement. I wonder about his vacation, sick leave, industrial disability and other benefits afforded to most permanent city employees.
That is a huge red flag that should have been dealt with long ago. I don't expect a young man (as Kerry was when he started the program) to think 30 years into the future. It is a shame that this issue wasn't addressed 20 years ago.
It seems that Kerry has been getting screwed by the city and the people who he has helped for 30 years. How much are your dues?
I hope that the city will find other employment for a higly skilled and dedicated public servant.
