New Phone Number, Facebook, Blog and Mayorship

Hello Members,

HHSTC has a new phone number: (404) 585-0657. 
Please add it to the contacts in your cell phone.

This number will simultaneously ring to the cell phones of several Board members. If no one picks up, the voicemail will be transcribed into an email, which will be sent to Board members. Use it for general questions or to report a problem at the pool.

We also now have a Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=127358631362&ref=ts

If the link doesn't work for you, just search in Facebook for HHSTC. As I write this, we only have 28 members - I know we can do better than that! So please join and we can use it to share info and discuss all things HHSTC.

And don't forget about our Blog, where I post all previous HHSTC emails: http://hhstc.blogspot.com/

Finally, who wants to be Mayor of HHSTC?!? The Four Square competition has already started! Don't know what I'm talking about? Google Four Square and join the fun!


See you at the pool,

-Leslie

Open House Friday - Details

Our Open House is this Friday from 5 pm - 10 pm.  This is the one time of year we are open to everyone and get to show people how proud we are of our club!

We are having our usual Friday night cookout, but we are also asking members to please bring a pot-luck dish to share. We'll be selling meals for $4/plate and if you bring a dish, you'll get a ticket (or two or three depending on what you bring) for a free meal.

We'll need volunteers to help with all sorts of things - so if you plan to be there and can help, please just reply to this email and we'll assign you an easy and fun job.

Thanks and we hope to see you Friday!

-HHSTC Board

ps. You may want to bring your own folding chair(s) just to ensure yourself a place to sit, in case we are really full with guests.

Guest Fees, Friday Night Cookouts and Punch Cards

Good news! We’ve lowered the guest fee from $5 to $4. However, we’ve raised the price of the Friday night cookout meal from $3 to $4. But, we also plan to offer veggie burgers and on most nights, pizza – as alternatives to hotdogs or hamburgers.

We are now selling pre-paid punch cards that can be redeemed for meals and/or guest fees. They cost $36 and are good for 10 punches – so you get one free! You can buy them at our online store:
 http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html  <http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html > (if you see the old prices, please refresh your browser).

Please remember, all guests must be signed in and pay the fee (you can pay the guard directly or have them use your punch card). Children 3 and under are free.

Also, just a reminder, children under 10 must come to the pool with an adult.

Thanks!

Friday Party and Sunday Workday Reminder

Just a reminder, tonight (Friday, the 14th) is Mike Blake's birthday party/ALS fundraiser at the HHSTC clubhouse. Details below - hope you can make it!

Also, this Sunday from 12-4 pm is another work day (details below).

These workdays can actually be a lot of fun and great way to get to know your neighbors. If there is enough of a crowd, we'll go out for dinner/drinks afterwards. While the work is hard - it's good exercise and you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment - this Sunday we will be saving our tennis courts from further erosion - one of the most important things we'll do all year!

We hope to see you there!

Thanks,

HHSTC Board

May 14th - Party at HHSTC

Hello Members,

You are invited to a party at our clubhouse on May 14th at 8pm! Mike Blake, HHSTC member and HARVEYNATION band member, is celebrating his birthday by having HARVEYNATION play a live benefit concert for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). They are requesting donations for the ALS Foundation and/or the Atlanta Food Bank.

It should be a fun time - the more the merrier! But please do rsvp, so they can plan for the appropriate crowd.

Here's the evite: http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/LDPPSBXREKRMYWDZEPYL/mikeblake

And here's a link to HARVEYNATION: http://www.harveynation.com <http://www.harveynation.com/> . You can also find the band on Facebook.

We hope to see you there!

Tennis

The combination lock for the tennis gate is XXXX (email us if you didn't get this email and/or need the code). The courts are for members only; please do not share the code with anyone else. You can reserve the courts up to 1 week in advance, by signing up at the bulliten board by the front tennis gate. Hopefully soon, we will have an online reservation system setup.

And as a friendly reminder: the courts are also for tennis only; no dogs, bikes, scooters, skates, skateboards, etc are allowed. And no unsupervised children.

Thanks!

-HHSTC Board

Work Day - May 16th

We are having another workday on Sunday, May 16th, from 12 - 4 pm and we need all the help we can get!

As you may know, we have a drainage problem around our tennis courts - and this is what has been causing the cracks in the courts. We have to get it fixed!

So for this workday, we will be doing lots of digging and hauling of rocks, as we create french drains, etc to help divert the water.

Please plan to attend, especially if you have been unable to make any of the previous workdays. Our club can't operate without workday volunteers - it's critical to keeping our costs low and our grounds/facilites maintained and looking good.

We hope to see on May 16th - please bring your shovels and wheelbarrows!

Thanks,

HHSTC Board
