Mark you calendar for 5:30 p.m. April 12. That is when the Dearborn City Council will host an informational meeting for the public on a proposal to close six city public pools.

From the 'Save Dearborn's Small Pools' Facebook page, this is a photo of Ten Eyck Pool's grand opening day in 1954. City officials look on as the first swimmers dive into the new pool.

The April 12 date was going to be a study session on the city’s budget with a host of different topics but with the amount of outcry from residents about the proposed pool closings, the meeting will now serve this purpose.

The meeting will be held in the council chambers and judging from the amount of comments here and a new Facebook page dedicated to saving these pools with 2,047 fans at the time of this posting (click HERE for that link), it will be a spirited meeting for sure.
