Annual Meeting and Voting for New Board

Hello Members,

Is the slightly warmer weather getting you in the mood for the summer? It's right around the corner! 

The cold, winter days have not stopped your Board from preparing for another fantastic year at the pool. Come hear all about the plans we have for 2010! Our Annual Membership meeting is Sunday, January 31st at 5 pm in the clubhouse. This is your chance to meet the Board and have all of your questions answered. 

For more details, attached is a letter from our President, Spencer Scarborough. You should be receiving a hard copy in your mailbox shortly. 

The main purpose of the annual meeting is to officially elect our new Board. You can vote in the new Board by coming to the meeting or voting online at:

Labor Day Party

Hello Members,

Just a reminder, we are having a Labor Day Party/Cookout from 12-3 on Monday (the pool opens at 10:30 am). As always, the cost is $3/plate. This is a members only party, but feel free to bring guests ($5 per guest). 

The pool will be open until 8 pm and after that, we'll be closing for the season (sorry, no post-Labor Day hours this year). 

We hope to see you Monday!

New HHSTC Photos Online

Hello Members,

FYI - there are lots of new photos on our website! They include workdays, July 4th parade/party, random summer shots, swim team events and even Halloween from last year. 

I tried my very best to avoid posting any unflattering pictures of people. But if you find yourself unhappy with any photos of you or your kids, please let me know and I'll remove them immediately.

Thanks and enjoy!

Survey Results and Past/Future Projects

Hello Members,

Remember the survey? Curious as to how everyone else voted? The results are now online (including all the comments). 

www.hhstc.com/survey.html <http://www.hhstc.com/Survey.html>  

In an effort to keep this email semi-short, here's a brief summary of what we have done this year to improve the club:

• Resurfacing of the tennis courts.
• Removal of major vegetation and overgrowth around the tennis courts. 
• New pump house roof.
• New picnic tables by the tennis courts.
• New toddler playground and picnic area next to the clubhouse (FYI - this was all free; donated by various members).
• New refrigerator in the concessions area.
• New sound system and multi-media wiring in the clubhouse.
• Kudzu killing. Have you noticed it all turning brown? 
• New pool pump (wasn't planned, but it will serve us many, many years).
  

Here's what we have planned for 2010:

• Resurfacing of baby pool and new baby pool cover.
• New exterior signage for pool and tennis courts.
• New tennis deck (note: this was not highly ranked in the survey, but have you been on it lately? It was painted a couple of years ago and looked new, but it is falling apart and is a hazard). 
• Major cleaning and minor upgrades in the bathrooms.
• New clubhouse flooring (note: this will likely have to wait until we are certain of our 2010 membership numbers).
• Pre-payments to our outstanding loan balance, so as to shorten the life of the loan. 
  

In summary, we are continuing to improve the club, while being mindful that we still have a large outstanding loan balance and we need to take care of what we have, before we add more. This means the redevelopment of the back lots will have to wait (even though it was voted # 1 in the survey). 

Last but not least, we are now working on a long-term Master Plan for the Club. This will be key to our future success and help ensure that we make smart decisions now, that are aligned with our future goals. If you would like to be a part of the planning, we will have some open slots on the Board in 2010. Please reply to this email if you are interested in serving.  

It's been a great couple of years and we are happy to have you as members. We hope you are as excited about our future as we are.

Enjoy the rest of summer!
