Friday Cookout/Movie Night & Other Important Updates


Hi Members,

We just secured the cookout volunteers, so Friday's cookout is ON!! This is last Friday night cookout of the summer - we hope you can make it! Also, we've now rescheduled Saturday's Movie Night to this Friday. Not sure what movie we'll be showing - we'll bring a bunch of G movies and let the kids pick. Rain or shine - we will be there! 

In other news...

* We finally fixed the transformer on the back tennis court light! It took longer than expected (and was very expensive) b/c we had to find someone who could get a special lift that would reach that high, at a weird angle, over the fence. Sorry for the delay and many thanks to Luis Moreno for making sure this project got completed.  

* We now have someone professionally cleaning the bathrooms, kitchen and clubhouse! Next year we plan to have this done weekly, starting as soon as we open. This is something we should have done a long time ago, but better late than never. Also, once we close, we are going to have a volunteer workday to remove the bathroom mats and either clean them or replace them with something else, depending on the condition of the floor underneath. 

* We still haven't found the yellow jacket nest(s) - but we did find the beginning of a wasp's nest and we are taking care of that. We will probably have to come up with a different plan for recycling, as they really seem to love that easily accessible high fructose corn syrup. 

* Don't forget about the charity tennis tournament/cookout on Saturday, August 11thClick here for details. We will also be offering kids tennis lessons/games this Fall - stay tuned for details about that. 

* Our hours change when school starts on August 13th and we don't open until 3pm (check around - all other pools do the same thing, as it's crazy expensive to justify life guards when so few people use the pool during this time of summer). 

* If you are in town for Labor Day - plan to be at the pool! It's the last day we are open - we'll have a cookout and some other fun surprises :) 

* We plan to continue the fun after we close with some Fall potluck dinners and family movie nights. If you'd like to help plan an event, please let us know. 

* Membership is awesome, our budget is great and it's time to start planning for the future. This Fall we will be working on a Master Plan that will either include some major repairs/upgrades to our clubhouse or a whole new clubhouse. Please look closely at our facilities and property and start thinking about what changes/improvements you'd like to see. And stay tuned for details about a planning meeting in September. 

That's all for now...

We hope you are enjoying your summer!
