Workday Sunday and Memorial Tree

Hello Members,

Just a reminder - we are having our last workday of the year this Sunday, October 2nd from 2-5 pm.

The Nick Sheffey Memorial Tree will be delivered Saturday and we need help planting it on Sunday. It's going to be big (a 4ft root ball) and it's going to be awesome! We are super excited!!

Many thanks to all of those who contributed money to the fundraiser! We also raised enough money to buy a nice bike rack for the front of the pool - we won't have that in time for the workday, but it will be coming soon.

In addition to the tree installation and general grounds work, we also need help in the kitchen - we are planning some off-season cosmetic improvements and hope to start the work on Sunday.

And of course, there is always general cleaning that needs to be done.

So please bring shovels, work gloves, sponges, buckets and anything else you can think of that might be useful.

We hope to see you Sunday!

Fall Workday Oct 2nd

Hi Members,

The pool is closed...but the fun/work doesn't stop! We are having our Fall Workday on Sunday, October 2nd from 2-5 pm.

As a reminder, this year we added a $25 workday assessment to the dues - if you volunteer for 3 or more hours you'll get that back. This is last workday for 2011, so if you haven't volunteered yet, now is your chance! Many of you who paid by check did not pay the $25 - so if you have not volunteered your hours, please be expecting an email after the workday, with a link to pay the remaining balance on your account.

Also...we are having our 6th Annual Halloween Party on Monday, October 31st. We'll have games, treats, photo sessions, food, and a parade! Stay tuned for additional details...

We hope to see you Sunday, Oct 2nd!

Nick Sheffey Memorial Update

Hi Members,

MANY THANKS to everyone who came to our Labor Day fundraising events and/or donated money! We will be using all of the money to buy a big tree and bike rack for the front entrance to the club, dedicated to Nick Sheffey. We do not have all of the details finalized, but are estimating the project will cost between $800 - $1,400 - depending on exactly what we get and how much additional landscaping, etc we do.

So far we have raised almost $700.

If you would like to make a donation (or an additional donation), you can do so online, with a credit card:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YXTFSQC5JC376

If that link doesn't work for you, you can also link to PayPal from our website:

Thanks again!

Sunday's DIP-OFF is ON - rain or shine (!) and Monday's Cookout is possibly postponed

Hi Members,

It seems a tropical storm is headed our way this weekend....

However, the DIP-OFF Party Sunday night is ON - rain or shine! We'll be in the clubhouse and have lots of space under the roof outside to hang out. We'll probably even have some cornhole games going. We hope to see you and your dip there. And if you don't have a dip - come anyway!

If it's raining on Labor Day Monday from 12 -2 pm and there is a small crowd at the pool, we will postpone the cookout for a later date - to be determined. However, as long as it's not thundering, the bouncy playground and slip n' slide should be lots of fun in the rain!! We'll also be showing movies in the clubhouse throughout the day, for anyone that just needs to get the kids out of the house :)

Finally, MANY THANKS to Chad McRae and Sierra Nevada for donating LOTS of beer for the dip-off and Labor Day Cookout. We'll have it readily available Sunday night and Monday.

We hope to see you at the pool - rain or shine!

-Leslie

To: HHSTC <huntleyhills@gmail.com>


Hi Members,

Don't forget - we have lots planned for Labor Day weekend!

In addition to having a jump house and blow-up slip n' slide all weekend, we also have:

Friday - Movie Night in the clubhouse at 6 pm for the little kids.

Sunday - Pool is open to everyone - invite all your friends, family and neighbors!

Sunday Night - Adult Only DIP-OFF Party! If you are bringing a DIP (and we hope you do!) - please RSVP. We need to know what to expect so we can buy and plan accordingly. Click here to add your name to the list <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhP8t3qtwp3BdFVsX05zTy1nWGhqREhzbHJVbl90WFE&hl=en_US&authkey=CIDxoPoL> .

Also, since so many have asked - your dip does not need to be homemade. You can bring a store-bought dip and still compete for best presentation and/or best name. However, best tasting, most colorful and best dessert dip will be reserved for dips that didn't come pre-packaged from a store. Click here <http://hhstc.blogspot.com/2011/08/dip-off-details.html>  for more details.

Monday - Labor Day Cookout from 12- 2 pm.

All proceeds from the weekend will go directly towards a memorial tree (and hopefully a new bike rack, as well) - dedicated to Nick Sheffey. Click here <http://hhstc.com/Sheffey.html>  for more details and/or to make a direct donation online.

Thanks and we hope to see you this weekend!
