DIP-OFF Party - Sat, June 30th

If you missed the DIP-OFF party last year, don't worry - we are doing it again!!

Join us for the 2nd Annual DIP-OFF on Saturday, June 30th.

Everyone has a chance of winning! Here are the prize categories:

Best Tasting
Best Presentation
Most Colorful
Best Name
Best Dessert Dip

And a new category: Best Overall

One of our fabulous sponsors, The Treasure Mart <http://thetmart.com/> , is giving us deep discounts on the prizes – yes, we’ll have real prizes!!

The pool closes at 6 pm, so we can get everything ready. The party starts at 7 pm and judging starts at 7:30 pm. If your dip requires warming, we have 1 microwave, 1 toaster oven and outlets for crock pots.

The club will provide tortilla chips and pita bread triangles. If your dip is just not happy with that and you want it to have something fancier - feel free to bring whatever dipper you desire. The club will also provide soft drinks and water. Please bring your own adult beverages (but please, no glass on the pool deck).

The party is open to all adults - invite all your friends! But only members can enter the contest (membership has its benefits :)

So we can better plan, we do ask that you pre-register to enter your dip - by simply adding your name to this online spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhP8t3qtwp3BdFVsX05zTy1nWGhqREhzbHJVbl90WFE&authkey=CIDxoPoL#gid=0

The cost of the party is $5/person - and FREE if you bring a dip.

We hope to see you and your DIP there!

Friday Cookouts and Grills, Swim Meet Photos

Hi Members,

We hope you love the Friday cookouts as much as we do! Last summer we were able to continue them through all of June and July. But we can't do it without volunteers. Our Board members do all the shopping and we always try to have a Board member present, who sets things up, knows what to do, brings the money box, etc.

So your job is super easy - you just have to show up, grill some burgers and/or help collect money. It takes less than 2 hours and we give you 3 hours of volunteer credit for your $25 workday assessment reimbursement.

Click here to sign-up:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsQyIehvdlzkdFFBdmZuWklIUTNpSF9zVm9ham8yY3c#gid=1

Also, if you hate bringing cash to the pool and/or you love a deal, buy one of our pre-paid punch cards online. You can get credit card points for it AND you get a free meal. Win-win for you!
http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html

And guess what we just bought?!? Another grill! This one is super big and awesome (two tanks!) and we needed it for the cookouts and swim meets. We plan to keep it locked up in the concessions stand when we are not using it for official events. Here's why...

We love our members using the grills (that's why we have them) but we are consistently finding that when we try to use them on Fridays they are filthy dirty and out of gas - in less than a week. They also seem to break often, in various ways. It's very discouraging, especially when we are depending on them. These are your grills - your membership money paid for them. Please treat them as your own - clean them, cover them and turn off the gas when you are done using them. Thanks!

And finally - congrats to the Hammerheads for another WINNING meet tonight! Check out their Facebook group to see some awesome photos, including the kids dressed up as Super Heroes.

Movie Tonight, Sunday Potluck, Tues Pool Closed Early

Kids movie night is tonight (Sat, 9th). Movie starts around 6pm in the clubhouse. Bring blankets and pillows. We'll have free popcorn and ice cream for sale ($1). So far, Finding Nemo is winning in the survey. Please vote up until 4pm today: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C2B8M3N

Senior pot-luck dinner is Sunday (10th) at 6pm. And actually, it's a 50+ potluck. Below is an email sent to the HH Yahoo Group, with additional details. We hope some of you can make it!

Tuesday (12th) is a HOME swim meet and the pool closes at 3pm. There will be a full concessions stand available for dinner - much more than the standard Friday night cookout. If you've never been to a swim meet, you should come check it out. It's super crowded and very loud - but so much fun! And our Hammerheads love having big crowds cheering for them.

Save these other dates:

Tues, June 19th: Home Swim Meet
Wed, June 20th: Member Pot Luck Dinner
Thurs, June 28th: Swim Team Party (pool closes at 6pm)
Sat, June 30th: 2nd Annual Adult Only Dip-Off Party! (contest for the best dip; details coming soon)
Wed, July 4th: Parade and Party!! It's going to be bigger and better than ever!
Sat, July 7th: Kids Movie Night

And of course, cookouts every Friday through June and July (assuming we can get volunteers, of course). Click here to sign-up:

*****

Hi Neighbors,

The Huntley Hills Swim and Tennis Club is sponsoring a Senior potluck dinner social at the pool this Sunday (June 10th) at 6pm.  And for the purposes of this event only, we are defining “Senior” as 50+, just cause that’s how AARP defines it (so don’t blame us, blame AARP:http://www.aarp.org <http://www.aarp.org/>  ) and we wanted to open it up to as many people as possible. Please come and meet your neighbors – young and old!

This event is free and we hope lots of you will be able to make it. Please bring a dish to share and a serving utensil. The club will provide plates, napkins, utensils and non-alcoholic drinks. For additional details and to RSVP, click here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhP8t3qtwp3BdHFrN3pmYVlaeWRHV28wOXJHWkRESlE

If the Internet is not your thing, you can also RSVP by just replying to this email or calling 770-713-0350 .

Thanks!

-Leslie Freymann
HHSTC Board Member

PS. Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested. And if you have a Senior neighbor, without Internet/email, it would be great if you could print this and put it in their mailbox. Thanks!

Smoking at the Pool

Hi Members,

Due to the number of complaints we've received this year, and in years past, we had a majority vote at our last Board meeting to only allow smoking behind the clubhouse. This means no more smoking on the pool deck or anywhere near the pool. We hope everyone understands this decision, as it was based on what we felt is best for the safety and comfort of our members, as well as the overall appearance and cleanliness of our pool.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Thanks,

HHSTC Board <http://www.hhstc.com/Board.html>

Sunday Open House, Snow Cones, Bounce House and Baby Pool

Just a reminder...

Sunday (June 3rd) is our Good Neighbor Day - bring your friends and family - for FREE!

GNO SnoBalls will be there, selling their fabulous Snow Cones from 1-4 pm. Prices start at just $2. A portion of the proceeds goes to our swim team.

We expect to be crowded, so please bring a folding chair (or two) to guarantee yourself a seat.
 
Our bounce house from Jump and Slide <http://www.jumpandslide.com>  will hopefully absorb some of the extra kids. Please help us keep this safe - if you feel there are too many kids in it and/or some of the older kids are playing too rough - we encourage you to politely say something, either to the kids, the parents or the life guards. We would love it if some adults took charge during the peak times (i.e. adult swim) and monitored the number of kids inside of it. Thanks!

Also, the baby pool is for children 4 and under. We are planing to get an official, permanent sign soon, stating this. The lifeguards are not responsible for watching the baby pool. If you see children in there unattended, especially if they are over 4 and/or playing too rough - please politely kick them out :)

Thanks!

-HHSTC Board

Cookout Weather Tonight - Plus Another Fun, New, Good Thing

Hi Members,

It may be raining tonight - but that's never stopped us from having a cookout. Ok, well, maybe sometimes it has. But not tonight! The cookout is on, rain or shine!

We can open the clubhouse and have game night, if it's too rainy or thundery to swim. Because wouldn't it be better to be in the clubhouse, playing games with your friends and family, than to be stuck at home on a yucky weather night? So bring your cards, favorite board games, etc.

ALSO, we have another fun, new good thing <http://hhstc.blogspot.com/2012/05/fun-new-good-things.html>  to share. We have a new sponsor - Jump and Slide <http://www.jumpandslide.com> . Have your heard of them? They rent bounce houses and water slides out for the ENTIRE WEEKEND (Fri - Sun). Bounce houses start at just $110 for the weekend, plus tax - and that's for a nice, commercial bounce house - not some dinky weak thing that will break if more than 3 kids jump on it. You do have to pick it up and return it to them, but they are close by and it's easy. And totally worth the savings, especially when you can have it for 3 days. You won't find a better deal anywhere in town! Please consider them for your party needs.
http://www.jumpandslide.com <http://www.jumpandslide.com/>  770-448-5515 (ask for Chris and tell them Huntley Hills sent you :)

And since they are our sponsor - we have a free bounce house for the weekend (and most importantly, for our Good Neighbor Day on Sunday). It's already set up - come check it out!

See you at the pool...
