Come Show Off Your Cornhole Skills

Thanks the dedicated work, creativity, and unique set of skills of our social director Carri Maas and her family, we have some new toys to play with!Look for a new deck box adjacent to the basketball court later this week. The deck box is meant for storing cornhole boards and bags when not in use. Please return eight bags (4 red, 4 blue) to each nylon black carrying bag so the next members can enjoy a game with a full set of bags. We also please ask members to return the boards and bags to the deck box each evening so that our sets make it through the season without undue weather damage!

Guests Are Great...But...


The lifeguards and pool manager want to send a quick reminder to all of us that we need to be sure that when someone has guests use the pool, that person hosting the guests should actually be at the pool. Also, the lifeguards have reported that a few people who clearly aren't anyone's guests have been finding a way onto the facilities and using the pool as of late.  I know it feels good to be courteous to our fellow patrons by holding doors open and letting people in when they've forgotten a key fob, but please try to avoid allowing people in that you do not personally know.  This can help ensure a safer pool for all of us...and fewer extremely uncomfortable interactions for our hard-working lifeguards.

Late Spring Schedule (*Starting Saturday, 5/4 to 5/31)
