Friday Cookout, Live Music Saturday, Wed Potluck, Membership Update and More!

Hi Members,

Some quick social updates...
  • Our volunteers for tonight's Friday cookout are Ken Westbrook, Glen Pellettieri and Amiee Landry. If we are crowded, they will probably need some help. Feel free to jump in and assist if you can :)
  • We are all confirmed to have Gareth Asher and the Earthlings playing live at our club this Saturday from 4-7pm. This is our First Annual Family Friendly Live Music Saturday and we hope you can make it! 
  • Next Wednesday the 4th is a Member Pot Luck Dinner. Please RSVP via the e-vite and if you didn't get the e-vite, let us know. 
  • Click here for the full summer calendar. 
In other news...

We're having another great year for membership! We had a wait list in 2012 and 2013 and based on the results of our membership survey, we voted to raise our cap (again) to 200 households this year. And now we only have 4 memberships left for the 2014 season. If you have friends or neighbors that are thinking about joining, please let them know and direct them to our websiteblogFacebook page or Twitter feed for information, photos and updates. 

If you turned in your adult swim at your own risk form but haven't received the gate code, please let us know. 

Finally - one of our members lost some prescription sunglasses in a brown leather case this week. If you accidentally picked them up or see them sitting around, please put them in the guard room. 

Thanks!

It's $5/plate (burger or hotdog, chips and drink). You can now make one-time payments at the pool from your phone through PayPal for cookout and/or concession stand purchases.

This Saturday from 3-7 pm we are hoping/planning to have Gareth Asher and the Earthlings play live at our club! We are still working out the details...stay tuned for final confirmation. 

Next Tuesday (June 3rd) is another away swim meet and Wed (June 4th) is our first member potluck. Stay tuned for an evite to the potluck.

We have a very full summer calendar planned (see below) but none of it can happen without volunteers. This year we are trying Sign-Up Genius to help us better coordinate volunteers. We would love for all members to help us out with at least one event. Volunteer Board members will handle setup, supplies, money collection, etc. All we need members to do is show up and help for a couple of hours :)

Music, Phone #s, Cookout Prices, Punch Cards, Concession Stand, Twitter, Sponsors and More!


Some quick updates/info:
  • We'll be streaming music online through Pandora this summer. If you have a suggested station that's appropriate for our family friendly pool, please let us know and we'll add it to the list. If you are at the pool and you'd like to request a different station be played or the volume to be turned up or down or off, please ask the lifeguard on duty. They have access to it and can (but are not obligated) to change it, upon request, during adult swim. 
  • Our pool number has changed to 678-609-8522. That's our new Google Voice number but if someone calls you from the pool, the number will show as (470) 268-5329 in the caller ID. Either number works.
  • The WiFi password is @dultSw1m (there was a typo in the earlier email; also note the S is capitalized).
  • We've increased the Friday cookout price to $5/plate (burger or hotdog, chips and drink). We are hoping to offer a bit more variety and some healthier options this summer...stayed tuned for details.
  • You can now make one-time payments at the pool from your phone through PayPal for cookout and/or concession stand purchases. We are also now selling pre-paid punch cards for cookout meals and guest fees. Click here to go shopping
  • Speaking of concession stand - did you know we have a concession stand?! We started it last summer and are working to expand the hours and items offered. Our plan is to now open it Friday nights and at peak times on the weekends (but no guarantees). If your child would like to work at the concession stand, please contact Kelly Carter (kwiegard@hotmail.com or 404-966-1930).
  • Have you ever been home, wondering if we are on a thunder break? Our lifeguards and various volunteers will now be tweeting thunder updates...and so much more. Click here to follow us
  • We have an incredible list of 2014 sponsors and are working hard to get all of their information and links on our website. Till then, click here to see our new Sponsor banner.
  • Many thanks to Cafe Saba for the awesome greek salad they donated to our New Member Social and Memorial Day Cookout. Also, thanks to Simple Finds for the free Memorial Day bucket full of beer! 
  • Finally, we consider ourselves a laid back club...but we prioritize safety and it never hurts to remind our members that we have lots of rules. Click here to read them.
If our opening weekend is any indication of how the rest of the summer is going to go...we are looking good!! 

See you soon at the pool,

Opening Weekend, Membership Cards and Directory OPT OUT

Opening Day is next week Saturday, May 24th. We’ll open at 10:30 am and we are looking forward to seeing the line of kids waiting at the front gate :) 

Our Memorial Day party is Monday, May 26th. We hope you’ll spend the holiday with us! In addition to the cookout from 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm, we have some other fun things planned. 

Click here for our 2014 pool hours.

This year we’ll have laminated membership lists at the front gate, for you to sign when you visit the pool. Returning members will not be issued membership cards since at this point, we pretty much know who everyone is. New members will be given membership tags at the New Member Social on Friday, May 23rd. With only new members having tags, this will help make it easier for everyone to identify them, introduce yourself and help make them feel welcome. 

We’ll be sending out a membership directory soon. It’s sent via email in pdf form – it’s not posted online. If your contact information or family names have changed from last year and/or you would like to Opt Out of having your contact info shared with members, please let us know by replying to this email.  

Thanks and we are looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Swim at Your Own Risk - Rules and Waiver

Opening day is almost here and have you seen the pool? It looks awesome!

The swim team started practicing last week and we voted at Tuesday's Board meeting to experiment with starting Adult Swim at Your Own Risk before our official opening day, so that adults could also enjoy the benefit of lap swimming during the month of May (from 6am to 10am).

The Rules/Waiver form for 2014 is now online. If you would like to participate, please print the form and follow the included instructions for returning it. Swim at Your Own Risk will officially begin on Monday, May 12th and forms must be received before any swimming can take place.

See you at the pool!
