New HHSTC Photos Online

Hello Members,

FYI - there are lots of new photos on our website! They include workdays, July 4th parade/party, random summer shots, swim team events and even Halloween from last year. 

I tried my very best to avoid posting any unflattering pictures of people. But if you find yourself unhappy with any photos of you or your kids, please let me know and I'll remove them immediately.

Thanks and enjoy!

Survey Results and Past/Future Projects

Hello Members,

Remember the survey? Curious as to how everyone else voted? The results are now online (including all the comments). 

www.hhstc.com/survey.html <http://www.hhstc.com/Survey.html>  

In an effort to keep this email semi-short, here's a brief summary of what we have done this year to improve the club:
  • Resurfacing of the tennis courts.
  • Removal of major vegetation and overgrowth around the tennis courts. 
  • New pump house roof.
  • New picnic tables by the tennis courts.
  • New toddler playground and picnic area next to the clubhouse (FYI - this was all free; donated by various members).
  • New refrigerator in the concessions area.
  • New sound system and multi-media wiring in the clubhouse.
  • Kudzu killing. Have you noticed it all turning brown? 
  • New pool pump (wasn't planned, but it will serve us many, many years).
Here's what we have planned for 2010:
  • Resurfacing of baby pool and new baby pool cover.
  • New exterior signage for pool and tennis courts.
  • New tennis deck (note: this was not highly ranked in the survey, but have you been on it lately? It was painted a couple of years ago and looked new, but it is falling apart and is a hazard). 
  • Major cleaning and minor upgrades in the bathrooms.
  • New clubhouse flooring (note: this will likely have to wait until we are certain of our 2010 membership numbers).
  • Pre-payments to our outstanding loan balance, so as to shorten the life of the loan. 
In summary, we are continuing to improve the club, while being mindful that we still have a large outstanding loan balance and we need to take care of what we have, before we add more. This means the redevelopment of the back lots will have to wait (even though it was voted # 1 in the survey). 

Last but not least, we are now working on a long-term Master Plan for the Club. This will be key to our future success and help ensure that we make smart decisions now, that are aligned with our future goals. If you would like to be a part of the planning, we will have some open slots on the Board in 2010. Please reply to this email if you are interested in serving.  

It's been a great couple of years and we are happy to have you as members. We hope you are as excited about our future as we are.

Enjoy the rest of summer!
