Labor Day Weekend and Nick Sheffey Fundraisers!

Hello Members,

We hope you are staying in town for Labor Day weekend because we have some great things planned!

But first - it's important to know that all of our events will be in honor of Nick Sheffey. For those of you new to the neighborhood and/or the Club – Nick was one of our Huntley Hills children who died last year in a terrible tragedy. You can read about it here:

Nick never missed a day at the pool and we’d like to have a permanent memorial for him, at the front entrance to the Club. We are hoping to raise enough so we can buy a memorial tree and plaque. And it would be GREAT if we could also buy a bike rack that we can dedicate to Nick. He and his younger brother, Michael, were always seen riding bikes throughout the neighborhood - and Michael continues on without him, leaning his bike against the fence, everyday at the pool.

So here’s what we have planned:

Friday: Movie night for the kids. Bring blankets and pillows and get ready for some G-rated entertainment!
Suggested donation: $5/child

Saturday: All guest fees collected go directly to the memorial fund.

Sunday: Pool is open to everyone from 10:30 am to 6 pm
. We’ll have a bounce house and a blow-up slip n' slide for the kids! Tell all your friends, family and neighbors! Suggested donation: $5/person

Sunday Night: Adult only party and DIP-OFF from 7 pm till ?!? It's open to everyone and we are hoping LOTS of you will bring your best dip. Everyone attending gets to be a judge and there will be multiple winning categories - plus some fabulous prizes! Suggested donation: $10/person
.
Monday: Labor Day Cookout from noon to 2 pm. All proceeds go directly towards the memorial fund.

We hope to see you at some (or all) of these events!

ps. As an added bonus, we have rented the bounce house and slip n' slide for the entire weekend (Friday - Monday!).
