Work Day and Membership Dues

Hello Members,

Just a reminder that we are having work days this weekend (Sat from 9-1 and Sun from 12-4). In addition to the projects below, we now have a gigantic pile of wood chips that needs spreading, so please bring your shovels and wheelbarrows. And don't forget your work gloves.

We hope you can make it!

Also, if you have already paid your dues - thanks!!! If you haven't, please remember they are due by April 30th and there is a $50 late fee.

We are still hoping to build a new deck before opening day, but it all depends on our membership numbers and cash flow. Related to that, in an on-going effort to make the most of our money, we would prefer that those of you who haven't yet paid your dues please mail us a check, as opposed to paying online. We are paying a lot in PayPal fees and the money we save could be put to much better use. If you want to pay with a credit card, that is still an option - we'd just prefer a mailed check.

Here is the renewal info: http://www.hhstc.com/Membership.html

Thanks!

Hello Members,

We have another workday scheduled for next weekend (April 17th and 18th) and we need help!

We'll be meeting Sat (the 17th) from 9 am to 1 pm and Sun (the 18th) from 12 pm to 4 pm.

Here are just some of the things we need to accomplish:

Weeding/planting of the front flower beds.
Painting 3 picnic tables.
Cleaning the clubhouse, guard room, etc.
Cleaning the bathrooms.

We are completely dependent on volunteer help in order to get us ready for opening day. If you are in town, please plan to have at least one member of your household show up to help for a couple of hours. Thanks!

ps. Only 6 weeks left until opening day!

Other important news/updates:

• We elected our new 2010 Board of Directors and Officers <http://www.hhstc.com/Board.html> . We also welcomed new Board Member Ann Hickman, who will serve on the Social Committee. And we want to send a BIG THANK YOU to Spencer Scarborough, for all the many years and countless hours he put into the Club. 
• The baby pool will be resurfaced in early May.
• We had to remove some dead/hazardous trees over the winter and fix 2 fences (costs we had not expected to incur).
• Winter was hard on the parking lot and the creek bank, but we are hoping to do some low-cost repairs/improvements to them during the work days.
• We are planning for major bathroom cleanings, along with some minor cosmetic improvements (also to be done during work days).
• We made a very large pre-payment towards our outstanding loan balance, getting us almost 2.5 years closer to the pay-off date.
• We have upgraded our financial software, along with our budget categories and are hoping to be able to provide detailed financial reports to the membership in the near future. 
• We are hoping to build a new deck before the pool opens, but it is all contingent on cash flow and membership numbers - so please pay your dues on time! 
• Unless we have a large number of new members (and their initiation fees) we believe the clubhouse flooring will have to wait another year. 
• We have signed a contract with a different pool management company - USA Pools <http://www.usapools.com/> . They offered a very competitive price and we are excited about working with them. 
• Our Guard Manager from last year, Nick Sharda will be returning again this summer, under the new company - which is great news for us! 
• We decided not to cap membership this year, but if our growth trends continue, we will probably be looking at a wait list in 2011.
  

That's all for now. We hope to see you next Saturday at our first work day!
