Hello Members,
We are not having a cookout this Friday, because we are having one for the 4th of July party and we just don't have enough volunteers to do both. So if you come to the pool this Friday night, it might be a great time to order dinner at the pool from one of our many sponsors: Galla's, Mad Italian, Papa Johns or Pig N' Chik.
Also, we had a potluck dinner planned for Saturday night, but several of our Board members who organize the events and do the clean-up will be out of town - so we have postponed it to Saturday, July 10th (details will be sent next week).
See you at the pool!

July 4th at HHSTC
Hello Members,
Will you be in town for July 4th? We hope so, because we have a big party planned! Many of our fun traditions continue and we hope to have all of our new members join us!
We will begin with our Annual July 4th parade, starting at 10 am at the pool. Decorate your bikes, trikes, wagons, big wheels, strollers, etc and show your American pride! Prizes given for the best decorations. Popsicles given to all kids.
The pool opens at 10:30 am and there will be games and activities for kids and adults throughout the day, including watermelon football, coin toss, diving for drinks and much more! We'll also have a jump house and a big water slide. The cookout is from noon - 3 pm ($4/plate).
For a recap of recent July 4th parties, check out our photos:http://www.youtube.com/user/HHSTC
And here are some videos of our past watermelon football games: http://www.youtube.com/user/HHSTC
(As a reminder, guests must pay their fees to the lifeguard or a Board member manning the check-in table. Last year’s July 4th had a very large number of unpaid guests so please respect your membership and others by paying.)
The pool closes at 8 pm and since the Club can't assume liability for fireworks, everyone will have to be on their own for that. But ask around, because we are certain there will be fireworks somewhere in Huntley Hills :)
We hope to see you July 4th!

Ps. We expect to be very crowded, so you may want to bring your own folding chair(s) if you have one, just to ensure a seat for yourself.
Pps. Since July 4th is on a Sunday this year, Chamblee will be doing their parade and fireworks on Sat, the 3rd. Here are details: http://www.chambleega.com/departments/parks_july42010.aspx The Dunwoody parade is July 5th.

Tuesday - Swim Team Banquet
Just a heads up - this Tuesday (June 29th) is the swim team banquet/end-of-season party at our pool and in our clubhouse, starting at 6 pm. This means the pool will be VERY crowded and full of kids, starting early Tuesday afternoon. All members are certainly welcome to still come and swim until 8pm, but the dinner is for swim team kids, parents and volunteers.
And if tradition holds true, you can expect the crowds at the pool to start decreasing, as June is always our most crowded month :)
See you at the pool!

Friday Night Cookouts
Have you noticed how crowded the pool always is during our Friday night cookouts? We are very proud we have been able to continue this popular tradition for many, many years now. It's lots of fun for everyone!
However, it does take a tremendous amount of volunteer time to ensure we have all the supplies, food and drinks necessary and to make certain at least 2 people volunteer to set everything up, cook the food, collect the money, clean-up afterwards, etc.
And we would love the have some help!
Specifically, we need volunteers to help grill. To make the scheduling easier, you can now sign-up online. Just type your name next to the date(s) you can volunteer (and please add your cell number below your name).
Here's the link: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AsQyIehvdlzkdFFBdmZuWklIUTNpSF9zVm9ham8yY3c&hl=en
This is a GREAT fun way to get involved and meet your neighbors.
If you have any questions, please just reply to this email.
Thanks!

Lifeguards
Hello HHSTC Members,
I hope everyone is having a great start to the 2010 summer pool season! Since many have noticed we have 2 new lifeguards at the pool this week, I believe it is important to update you on what has happened.
Based on independent observations by the Guard Manager of USA Pools, they have removed 2 of our lifeguards from the schedule at Huntley Hills.
This decision was after we held an additional guard training meeting to re-review all rules and expectations, AND after receiving numerous additional complaints from several members.
The Board does not hire or fire guards. We contract with USA Pools and they make all employment and scheduling decisions. We pay them to handle most facets of the daily operations to ensure we have a very safe and comfortable environment.
The safety of our pool is everyone's highest priority and we take that responsibility very seriously. If you ever feel that one of the lifeguards is not watching the pool and/or acting inappropriately in any way, please let us know. You can reply to this email, contact me at the number below, or just find a Board member at the pool. Once again, we will relay the complaints to USA Pools and they will take any necessary action.
Thanks and we look forward to a continued safe summer at the pool!
