City of Saline issued the following announcement on Aug 20.
Saline Recreation and the Saline Rec Center Sustainability Taskforce has begun a capital campaign and scholarship fund to benefit the aquatics programming at the Saline Rec Center.
The fund has been named in honor of Tom "TJ" Johnston who was a long time swim instructor at the Rec and was loved by many.
Funds raised from this initiative will go towards scholarships to give children from families in need the ability to take swimming lessons at the Rec as well as fund some improvement projects in the aquatics center.
"TJ was one of a kind, a once in a lifetime type of friend, mentor, and cheerleader. He cared deeply about the Saline Rec Center and about his swim students. He had so much life and work experience, he was not shy about sharing his knowledge. TJ was not only a swim instructor, but he really got to know each of the families of his students,” - Carla Scruggs, Parks and Recreation Director
