Vote!!!
Be sure to vote for the four open positions on the VPCA Board of Directors for 2013 as well as for two amendments to the VPCA by-laws. Voting on-line and by paper ballots submitted at the pool (in the locked ballot box) is open until 9 p.m. on Monday, September 3. Paper ballots mailed to Sophia Brothers Peterman must be received by Saturday, September 1.
The Board of Director nominee statements and pictures, Amendment 11, Amendment 12, the voting instructions, and FAQs regarding voting are found on the pool bulletin board. Links to these documents are also found under “Voting Matters” of the Members Only portion of the Venetian website: http://venetianpools.org Contact Sophia at communications@venetianpools.org for your username and a temporary password to access the Member Only portion, if needed.
A link to download a paper ballot is found under “Voting Matters” on the website. Paper ballots are also at the pool front desk.
4:30 Opening on Weekdays
The pool now opens at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. As more and more of our guards return to school and college, staffing becomes more difficult. I apologize for the incorrect hours that were on the calendar earlier this week. The calendar should be correct now.
Fall Extended Lap Swimming is Back!
Yay! We will have Fall Extended Lap Swimming hours (no free swimming, only lap swimming). The cost is $25 per person. Please make your check out to “Venetian Pool” and write “Extended Swim” and the name of each participating member/s on the memo line. Bring your check to the pool front desk and have your name added to the Fall Extended Lap Swimming List.
Fall Extended Swim Procedure: check in at the front desk with your finger scan. The Fall Extended Swim List will be checked for your name. If you have not paid and your name is not on the List, you must pay the full $25 per person before entering. Your name will then be added to the List for the remainder of the Fall Extended Swim. The Fall Extended Swim hours are posted on the pool calendar on the website and are below:
Monday – Friday September 4-7 and 10-14 4:30 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Monday – Friday September 17-21 and 24-28 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Saturday, Sunday September 15-16, 22-23, 29-30 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
(We plan to have the pool open for all members from 12:00 p.m. – 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9.)
Luau Thanks
Thanks to everyone who made last week’s Luau a success, especially Quinn Postero, Becky and Rick Smith, Stacey Stevens, Stacey Appelson and Beth Fucile. Thanks also to the Dammages and the Grits for the amazing entertainment.
Penny for Your Thoughts
As the 2012 pool season is coming to a close, the Board would love to hear from you about what worked and what didn’t, as well as your ideas for improving the VPCA experience next year. These will be passed on to the new Board during its September meeting, giving them a head start for 2013. Hit reply and send in your thoughts!
Board Meeting, Wednesday, September 5, 7 p.m.
Due to school holidays, the next Board Meeting has been changed to Wednesday, September 5, at 7 p.m. in the Dance Hall at the pool. The newly elected Board members will say hello as those rotating off will bid adieu.
Annual Meeting, Monday, September 10, 7 p.m.
Make plans to attend the VPCA Annual Meeting on Monday, September 10, at 7 p.m. in the Dance Hall at the pool. A “State of VPCA” will be presented and there will be time for member input.
