Allie Lowdermilk joined the Kenaston Community Recreation Board as a member of the Swimming Pool Board in 2020 and has served as president for the past 4 years. The Board is a group of 6 dedicated community members, including Brad Owen, MacKenzie Nizinkevich,
Stephanie Rink, Carolyn Moser-Prpich and Jackie Erlandson.
With Allie’s leadership, this group of volunteers has had a ripple effect on the community! From the pool’s revitalization to the registration, staffing, and programming, their passion and dedication has made Kenaston’s pool a vibrant community hub.
Last year, the board faced multiple setbacks to get the pool up and running for the 2025 season. After fundraising over $80,000 and completing a major bathroom renovation project, the pool was found to have a significant leak. The Board persevered,
put in countless volunteer hours, and the doors finally opened on July 18th.
"Facilities like the pool are the heartbeat of small communities, they create core memories and opportunities for our youth. Volunteering with the pool board is my way of giving back and ensuring those memories continue to be made for generations to
come," said Allie Lowdermilk.
