CLEANUP DAYS !!!
It is essential that any available member
assist with these activities in order to keep our membership
rates current. Every member is part owner in our pool. Non-participation
in work days forces use to contract our this work and may
cause our annual dues to increase. Please spread the word
to our pool members! The workdays at the pool are May 3 at
9:00 am and May 17 at 9:00am. We are encouraging teens to
participate in clean up as they may earn community service
hours for this. The following is a partial list of things
that need to be done:
• The volleyball courts need to be
cleaned and raked.
• The driveway, parking lot, and grounds need to be
cleaned of dead tree limbs and low hanging branches.
• A smoking area needs to be added over by the bike
racks.
• Gravel needs to be added to the drain opening on
the hill and fix sinking blocks around the pool.
• The floor mats in the rest rooms need to be pressure
washed.
• The fence needs to be checked around the perimeter
for holes and fixed.
• The fence around the wading pool needs to be painted.
• The horseshoe pits need to be moved and rebuilt.
• The french drain around the dive well cleaned.
• The fence near the volley ball courts needs to be
fixed.
• The swingset needs to be painted.The swingset needs
to be painted.
Service hours may be earned during these
cleanup days. We will have Service-Learning
Relection Forms available at the pool for those who work
on either of these days.
