New Phone Number, Facebook, Blog and Mayorship

Hello Members,

HHSTC has a new phone number: (404) 585-0657. 
Please add it to the contacts in your cell phone.

This number will simultaneously ring to the cell phones of several Board members. If no one picks up, the voicemail will be transcribed into an email, which will be sent to Board members. Use it for general questions or to report a problem at the pool.

We also now have a Facebook group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=127358631362&ref=ts

If the link doesn't work for you, just search in Facebook for HHSTC. As I write this, we only have 28 members - I know we can do better than that! So please join and we can use it to share info and discuss all things HHSTC.

And don't forget about our Blog, where I post all previous HHSTC emails: http://hhstc.blogspot.com/

Finally, who wants to be Mayor of HHSTC?!? The Four Square competition has already started! Don't know what I'm talking about? Google Four Square and join the fun!


See you at the pool,

-Leslie

Open House Friday - Details

Our Open House is this Friday from 5 pm - 10 pm.  This is the one time of year we are open to everyone and get to show people how proud we are of our club!

We are having our usual Friday night cookout, but we are also asking members to please bring a pot-luck dish to share. We'll be selling meals for $4/plate and if you bring a dish, you'll get a ticket (or two or three depending on what you bring) for a free meal.

We'll need volunteers to help with all sorts of things - so if you plan to be there and can help, please just reply to this email and we'll assign you an easy and fun job.

Thanks and we hope to see you Friday!

-HHSTC Board

ps. You may want to bring your own folding chair(s) just to ensure yourself a place to sit, in case we are really full with guests.

Guest Fees, Friday Night Cookouts and Punch Cards

Good news! We’ve lowered the guest fee from $5 to $4. However, we’ve raised the price of the Friday night cookout meal from $3 to $4. But, we also plan to offer veggie burgers and on most nights, pizza – as alternatives to hotdogs or hamburgers.

We are now selling pre-paid punch cards that can be redeemed for meals and/or guest fees. They cost $36 and are good for 10 punches – so you get one free! You can buy them at our online store:
 http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html  <http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html > (if you see the old prices, please refresh your browser).

Please remember, all guests must be signed in and pay the fee (you can pay the guard directly or have them use your punch card). Children 3 and under are free.

Also, just a reminder, children under 10 must come to the pool with an adult.

Thanks!
