Friday Cookout

This Friday we are going to party like it's June and have a Friday Night Cookout.  

That's right, we're going old school.  We all know July is vacation month but after this wet, cool weather, we need to get back out there and have a blast!  

The current forecast for Friday is 85 with basically no chance of rain, followed by sunshine and 90 for the rest of the weekend.  Let's kick off a great, warm weekend at the pool with this week's Friday Night Cookout.  

The food will be ready around 6 PM.  We hope to see you there!

This Weekend @ HHSTC


Friday Night
It has been a very quiet week at the pool.  Due to a lack of volunteers, there will not be a cookout this week.  But, the water is spectacular and the weather has been perfect.  Come on up and enjoy a Friday evening with your friends!

Saturday Night
Line up the babysitters, it's ADULT NIGHT!  Relax by the pool with friends while not having to worry about the kids.  The pool will close at 7:00 PM to children.  The fun will last until midnight.  This was originally scheduled to be a "Saturday Night Fever" party; however, our usual party planners are out of town this weekend.  Instead of a theme we will just get together and have a good time.  A good time may include ping pong, possibly corn hole, foosball, conversations, swimming, etc.  There is just no telling how much fun we can have.

We hope everyone has a great and safe weekend  and hopefully we will see many of you at the pool!

Ping Pong


We hope everyone has been enjoying the new ping pong table.  If you have had the opportunity to play, you know it is a blast!  

Since it is new there is a learning curve involved for us from a management perspective.  Moving forward, if you would like to play ping pong please bring your own set of paddles and a ball or two.  They would be for your use and anyone you would like to join in.  At the end of the day, they are your responsibility.  

HHSTC is happy to supply the table but we cannot manage the accessories.  Anyone prepared is welcome to play at their leisure, but the table will be inaccessible during private parties where the clubhouse has been rented.

Thank you for your understanding.

Lifeguards


We have had an excellent season so far.  Our lifeguards have been a huge part of the safe fun we have been enjoying all summer.  We are fortunate to have a great team.  Our pool company, Sears Pool Management Consultants, has a bonus system in place that builds points off of positive feedback.  A large portion of these points are earned from comments we hear from you!  The more points that are earned, the larger their bonus.  The next time you see a guard doing something that you appreciate, that stands out, that makes you say, "wow, he/she is doing a great job," please take the time let us know.  It is very important for all of us to stop and notice the little things they do.

If you have not already liked us on Facebook, please take the time to do so at  www.facebook.com/HHSTC.   Over the next few weeks we will be providing updates to give you an opportunity to become familiar with our guards so that you will know who you will be supporting in the positive points program.  You can reply to this email, email us separately at huntleyhillsswimtennis@gmail.com or comment on one of the Facebook posts.  

We have heard from several members throughout the course of the season and we greatly appreciate their feedback and positive support.  Now we very much look forward to hearing your comments!

Fri, Sat and Sunday at the Pool

Hi Members,

We hope to see you at the pool this weekend! 

We're not having a cookout Friday (July 11th) because we don't have enough volunteers on deck to make it happen. But please feel free to bring your own food and use the grills. It's also a great night to order delivery or take-out from one of our many wonderful sponsors

Saturday night is kids movie night in the clubhouse. We're not sure of the movie yet - but it will be something on Netflix that is G or PG and we'll let the kids who show up decide. We'll start around 6pm. We'll be serving popcorn during the movie; please have your children eat dinner ahead of time. Blankets and pillows are optional but encouraged. Also, there may or may not be ping pong and foosball tournaments happening on the pool deck, depending on who shows up. 

Sunday we'll be watching the World Cup Final Game starting at 3pm. Come join us! Many thanks to Nick Guerrero for giving us a summer of games in the clubhouse. 

Looking ahead...

Friday, July 18th - cookout 
Saturday, July 19th - ADULT ONLY Saturday Night Fever Party! 

Our two main party planners (Leslie and Ashley) will be out of town, so we are looking for people to help plan something fun and pull it all together. If you can help with either the cookout or adult party, please reply to this email.  

Thanks!

Teen Lock-In Tonight!


Since enough volunteers came forward, the party will go on.  Tonight after the swim team banquet kids 6th grade through 12th grade are welcome to stay the night for an evening full of fun.  Three parents will chaperone and more are welcome should you decide you would like to be involved.  Some key points:
  • 9pm - 8am, please be punctual Wednesday morning for pick up
  • Send with money if they want to be involved with:
    • ping pong tournament, $5 entry fee
    • Pizza/food ordering
  • Come prepared with sleeping bag, blankets, pillow, etc.
Lifeguards have volunteered to guard the pool and, along with chaperones, this will be a safe place for teens to let loose and have some fun.
