Notices/Cautions; Poolsharks TAPS Fundraiser; Work Day; Future Events
Saturday April 25 is Work Day – Please come out and help get the pool ready for the 2015 season! See details below; 2 weeks after that is Opening Day on May 9 and we will have new member orientation at 4pm.
NOTICE: Pressure Washer for work day. If you have a pressure washer and can bring it to work day, please contact Paul Thim at pthimsr@gmail.com or 404-323-1565
CAUTION: Please be careful when using the grills at the beginning of the season. They will be thoroughly cleaned and checked for proper operation on Work Day, however, the ignitors may be a bit sticky since they haven’t been used through off-season and if you have the gas turned up high and the ignitors take a while to spark, there could be some back-blasting. So, please use caution when lighting the grills. Thank you.
Party While Supporting The Poolsharks
Show your support of our swim team with a purchase of a Venetian 64 ounce growler. This earth-friendly, reusable, double walled, insulated stainless growler can be enjoyed ALL summer long. TAPS, which offers a wide and eclectic selection of craft beer, will offer a 10% discount off refills all summer. It would be the perfect Father’s Day gift and will keep your beer chilled 6-8 hours, even at the poolside. TAPS is located at 1248 Clairmont Road.
Place your order now. Send a $35.00 check made out to: VPCA Poolsharks. Mail to Ann Hesskamp (336 Lamont Drive, Decatur, GA 30030) before May 15th. Proceeds benefit the Poolsharks. Contact annhesskamp@me.com with any questions.
