Welcome Back! March 31st, 2021

We are truly excited to be opening our gates to members on Memorial Day Weekend in 2021! This year continues to bring a few pandemic-related challenges as we carry over last year’s operating plan and COVID precautions. This year’s operating ‘starting point’ will be to pick up where we left off at the end of the 2020 season with a full set of controls in-place. The Board’s position is leveraging last year’s successes gives us a solid foundation to work from as we assess any changes heading into this year.

With that in mind, the Board is already following a bi-weekly meeting tempo to assess our operating plans, any changes to federal and state guidelines as we head into the summer, and to look for areas it makes sense to adjust.

We are already planning for a competitive summer swim season (Click HERE for the Swim Team flyer) and we will be following more traditional hours of operation this year. We are talking about eliminating the 4 pm closing and whether it makes sense to make chairs and lounges available to members (no decisions on the last two just yet).

Last year we issued email updates every two weeks to make sure the membership stayed fully informed on any important information. I intend to do the same this season.

NEW ONLINE MEMBER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

We are excited to roll out a fully integrated member management system this year that allows us to accept credit card payments for member dues, process caretaker applications electronically, buy guest passes online, speed up front desk access, and much more. What's important to know is this year's invoice will be generated electronically and sent to the email address on file instead of being mailed to you. We are working to send the electronic invoices to your inbox in just a couple of days from now. Be on the lookout for a Facebook note and text alert letting you know they’ve been issued and who to contact if you don’t receive yours.

IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR

We are continuing our improvements trend this year with some much needed property improvements you may (or may not notice) when you walk through the gate. We have already installed new exterior doors on all buildings, constructed a rebuilt Baby Pool Pump House that allows us to upgrade our filtration equipment, improved the Bath House siding and 2nd floor windows. We are currently receiving quotes to refresh all of our Snack Bar’s industrial equipment: new refrigerators, freezers, prep counters, deep fat fryers, ice machines, and more.

   SPRING WORK WEEKENDS

As winter ends and spring begins, we will be preparing the pool and grounds for another summer season. Our adult members are urged to volunteer during work weekends. Work Weekend sessions run between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm each Saturday in spring, starting on April17th and ending on May 22nd. Work sessions are for adult members only (no children under the age of 18 are permitted). $65.00 of your maintenance fee will be refunded after you perform four (4) consecutive hours of volunteer work. Additional work sessions are recognized with a family guest pass good for admitting up to 5 guests.

Best Regards,
