Sunday Clean-Up

Hello Members,

This Sunday (tomorrow, June 13th) starting at 10:00 am and continuing all day, we are going to be doing a massive clean-up of our clubhouse and grounds.

Here's a list of some of the items we hope to accomplish:

  • Removal of all the unnecessary junk in the attic.  
  • Clearing out of at least 4 closets full of junk, etc.
  • Cleaning kitchen floor.
  • Cleaning bathrooms.
  • Cleaning concessions stand.
If we have enough volunteers throughout the day, we may get ambitious and try to remove the rubber mats in the bathrooms and power wash the floors. We would also like to paint the kitchen floor and perhaps some other items around the clubhouse.

Sorry for the short notice - we hope you can make it!

Thanks!

-HHSTC Board

ps. Please bring any brooms, mops, buckets, sponges, bleach, cleaning supplies, etc you may have that would help. Also, we'll need dusk masks and flashlights for the attic :)

Kudzu and Weekend Events

FYI - This morning (Friday) we will be working on round 2 of our Kill the Kudzu campaign. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up to please avoid the back lots and the back fence corner on Plantation until Saturday. Thanks!

Also, don't forget - we have lots going on this weekend...

Friday night - cookout.
Sat morning - pancake breakfast fundraiser (correction: it ends at 10:30, not 11:30 as stated in previous email).
Sat afternoon - World Cup soccer game at HHSTC! It's now open to non-club members at $5/person.
Sat evening - kids movie night in the clubhouse.

See you at the pool!

Pool Reminders

Hello Members,

Our summer has been off to a great start! Below are just some quick reminders to help all of us continue to keep things running smoothly...

  • Please sign-in at the front table, as you enter the pool. We lost lots of money and even some potential memberships last year, because people (and teens, especially) used the pool all summer without paying guest fees. The sign-in book is a step at preventing that from happening again.
  • Kids under 10 must come to the pool with an adult. And if your 10 year old+ child comes unattended, please make certain you send them with enough sunscreen, food and drinks for the day.
  • The clubhouse is to remain locked during the day, as we have had numerous problems with kids leaving food, trash, wet towels, etc.
  • The kitchen (including the refrigerator/freezer, stove, and microwave) are for use by all adult members. Please, no kids allowed in the kitchen. 
  • Items left unattended for too long in the refrigerator are at risk of being thrown out and/or taken by someone.
  • We often store our Friday cookout food/drinks/ice in the kitchen refrigerator and on the shelves - please be respectful of this and do not take anything.
  • We are recycling cans and bottles only in the 2 red square recycling containers.
  • Please periodically check the lost and found by the women's bathroom. When it gets too full, we donate items that have been around for more than a week.
  • Please remind your children to be respectful of the private parties/dinners members host at the pool and that a table full of food and a cooler full of drinks are not "free" for the taking. 
  • If you bring a guest, please pay the guard $4 or have them punch your guest card.
And last, but certainly not least, we just want to friendly remind everyone that our Board is 100% volunteer and we have collectively spent hundreds of hours of volunteer time and have donated thousands of dollars in goods and services to help ensure we have clean, safe, well-run facilities, fun events, and a well managed bank account.

We do it because we love our community and we love our pool and tennis courts. We also know that without volunteers, there would be no Huntley Hills Swim and Tennis Club. If you would like to help us, in any way, please just reply to this email.

Thanks and we are looking forward to a continued great summer!

Weekend Events!

Hello Members,

Are you going to be in town this weekend? We hope so, because we have several fun events planned!

As always, we are having our Friday night cookout ($4/plate for burger, veggie burger or hotdog, plus drinks and chips). You can pay cash at the table or buy a pre-paid punch card, good for cookouts and/or guest fees (the cost is $36 for 10 punches, so you get one free!). Here's the link: http://www.hhstc.com/Store.html

Our Hammerhead swim team is having a Saturday pancake breakfast fundraiser at the Masonic Lodge in Chamblee Plaza from 8am to 11:30am. The food is great and the place will be filled with friends and neighbors - don't miss it! The cost is $5/plate and 100% of the profits go towards helping support the swim team.

We are also pleased to announce a new addition to the calendar - Saturday at 1:30 - World Cup Soccer at HHSTC! We will have the big screen setup in the clubhouse for viewing the USA vs. England game. Some drinks and snacks will be provided; feel free to BYOB and/or a snack to share. And bring your friends!

Then, after the game, we will be having Saturday Kids Movie Night in the clubhouse. The movie is TBD, as is the start time (it depends on the soccer game end time) - we hope to start around 6 pm. Bring your own blanket, pillow and movie snacks.

Whether you are with us or not, we hope you have a great weekend!

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
