Our Phone Numbers

Hello Members,

Just to clarify, we now have two phone numbers for HHSTC...

(404) 585-0657 - this number simultaneously rings 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 (ex. pool is not open when it should be, complaints about a lifeguard, injury we should know about, questions about renting the clubhouse, etc).

(770) 457-0993 - this number rings to the land line at the pool, located by the kitchen windows. Call it to talk to someone at the pool, check to see if we are on a thunder break, etc. This is also a phone you can to call 911 from the pool. If you are at the pool and hear the phone ring, please answer it, out of a courtesy to all our members.

Thanks!

New Library/Game Collection

Hello Members,

I am trying to start a new book/magazine swap and game collection at the pool.

So please bring any good books and/or current, popular magazines that you have finished reading and would like to share with other members. Chances are that you won't get your books back, but you just might end up with different books that you have been wanting to read :)

Also, we'd like to have some games available for people to play while at the pool. Good examples would be decks of cards, poker chips, dominos, Taboo, Pictionary, Shoots and Ladders, etc. But please, no games with lots of little pieces.

We plan to keep all of this in the new brown bookcase in the kitchen and perhaps on some of the kitchen shelves. If it gets too crowded/junky, we will have to wean things out and recycle/donate items. If you would like your game returned to you at the end of the season, please write your name/number on the box - but no guarantees :)

Thanks!

July 4th - Help Needed

Our July 4th party is almost here!

We need help with 2 things...

We want to have someone at the front table throughout the day, greeting members and collecting guest fees. We can pay $5/hr cash, plus a % of all fees collected. This would be a perfect job for a responsible teenager! Please reply to this email if you can help and/or if you would like to volunteer your 12+ year old child.

We need parents (and other generous members) to please bring in your loose change so we can continue our annual coin dive tradition. It's always a huge hit with the kids! You can give your change to any Board member you see at the pool or you can leave it at the front table on July 4th, assuming someone is there to collect it.

Thanks!

No Friday Night Cookout

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!

-HHSTC Board

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.
