Pool Reminders

Hello Members,

Our summer has been off to a great start! Below are just some quick reminders to help all of us continue to keep things running smoothly...

  • Please sign-in at the front table, as you enter the pool. We lost lots of money and even some potential memberships last year, because people (and teens, especially) used the pool all summer without paying guest fees. The sign-in book is a step at preventing that from happening again.
  • Kids under 10 must come to the pool with an adult. And if your 10 year old+ child comes unattended, please make certain you send them with enough sunscreen, food and drinks for the day.
  • The clubhouse is to remain locked during the day, as we have had numerous problems with kids leaving food, trash, wet towels, etc.
  • The kitchen (including the refrigerator/freezer, stove, and microwave) are for use by all adult members. Please, no kids allowed in the kitchen. 
  • Items left unattended for too long in the refrigerator are at risk of being thrown out and/or taken by someone.
  • We often store our Friday cookout food/drinks/ice in the kitchen refrigerator and on the shelves - please be respectful of this and do not take anything.
  • We are recycling cans and bottles only in the 2 red square recycling containers.
  • Please periodically check the lost and found by the women's bathroom. When it gets too full, we donate items that have been around for more than a week.
  • Please remind your children to be respectful of the private parties/dinners members host at the pool and that a table full of food and a cooler full of drinks are not "free" for the taking. 
  • If you bring a guest, please pay the guard $4 or have them punch your guest card.
And last, but certainly not least, we just want to friendly remind everyone that our Board is 100% volunteer and we have collectively spent hundreds of hours of volunteer time and have donated thousands of dollars in goods and services to help ensure we have clean, safe, well-run facilities, fun events, and a well managed bank account.

We do it because we love our community and we love our pool and tennis courts. We also know that without volunteers, there would be no Huntley Hills Swim and Tennis Club. If you would like to help us, in any way, please just reply to this email.

Thanks and we are looking forward to a continued great summer!
