Michael D. Albano
Michael Albano has been a resident of Dearborn for 37 years, and fondly remembers the days he spent at the original Seashore pool. He is currently running for a seat on the Dearborn City Council, but has been involved with Dearborn's pools and neighborhoods long before he announced his candidacy. Michael has been involved with SOP since it originated. One of his first tasks was to scrape and paint Summer Stephens pool to prepare for opening day. He worked on this project for nearly two weeks, and spent the first day of the pool season still working on an unfinished area of the pool. When he finished, there were just 15 minutes left for him to enjoy the pool before it closed for the day.
Even though Summer Stephens is his neighborhood pool, Michael has also helped cleanup and address issues at Ten Eyck and Lapeer pools, further embodying SOP's mission "One Dearborn, One Team, One Family." In addition, Michael was instrumental in SOP's fundraising efforts by selling large numbers of t-shirts and advertising for the SOP t-shirts you see all around town.
During the day, Michael works as a wireless consultant for research firms that cater to brokers and investors. In his free time, he supports Dearborn's pools, is running for Dearborn City Council, and has served as a member of the Dearborn Federation of Neighborhood Associations, the Dearborn Rental Task Force, Commissioner of the City of Dearborn Telecommunications, and many other valuable service positions to improve the lives of Dearborn residents throughout the years.
When asked about the future of Dearborn's pools, Michael stated, "if we can afford a new City Hall, we can certainly afford to keep all of Dearborn's pools open. The pools keep families in the city and encourage new families to move here."
SOP is proud to support Michael D. Albano in his campaign for Dearborn City Council, as a longtime friend to the pools and to the continuing vitality of Dearborn's neighborhoods. You can learn more about his campaign here.
