Spring Work Day — Saturday, April 13th

Our spring Work Day is this coming Saturday! This is the day when we do the all-important preparations to get out facilities ready for the upcoming season, and it is a great social event.

NOTE to membership about the history and purpose of work day:

Work day used to be ‘mandatory’ and more than one per year were scheduled.  Now, they are not mandatory and we only have one per year to help get the place ready for opening, so if we don’t get enough volunteer help, we end up spending more and more each year to get what we need done by hiring outside help.  This has not caused us to raise dues and we have no intention to, but the reality is that the more we can accomplish with our community volunteers, the less we need to spend out of the community fund.

So please do all you can to come on out, be part of the community, and help your pool get opened!  Not only will you earn some free guest passes to be used this year, but you’ll help us keep dues low!  We understand people are busy, so come out anytime during the day from 8 am until 5 pm.

We need help with

  • Lots of cleaning – the Bath Houses, the Snack Bar, the Office. Cleaning supplies are provided.
  • Re-sealing the wooden deck (after making any needed repairs).
  • Re-staining the picnic tables, benches and planters.
  • Inspecting and repairing the climbing structure.
  • Throwing out trash. (We rent a dumpster for the day and usually fill it.)
  • Planting annuals, spreading pine straw.
  • Cleaning the grills thoroughly.
  • And much more…

The day begins at 8:00 a.m. with juice, coffee, bagels and donuts. Lunch will be served at noon. And you earn guest passes—one book of guest passes for every two hours worked per household. We will be working until about 5:00 p.m. In case of rain, the Work Day will be held on Sunday, April 14.

Hope to see you there! Many hands make light work!
