President/General Manager’s Message

Dear Members:

Before we begin, please join me in congratulating David and Sue on an incredible milestone—25 years of running our snack bar. While many of you know them for their excellent food, they are truly just
wonderful people. They work tirelessly each season, from May through the end of September, to keep everyone well-fed and happy. Please take a moment this season to show them some extra appreciation.

While we’re fortunate to celebrate long-standing contributors like David and Sue, we’ve also been navigating some significant challenges behind the scenes.

We’ve done our best to keep you informed of the lengthy solar project, which ultimately culminated in the contractor’s bankruptcy in February. We are now managing the aftermath.

In addition to the bankruptcy, the quality of the workmanship proved to be substandard—in some cases, quite poor. You may have noticed leaks in the clubhouse, particularly in the group fitness studio. These issues stem from the solar roof installation and will require significant repairs.

This does mean that some planned projects will be delayed, including the tile replacement in the women’s adult bathroom and the resurfacing of the tennis courts. While the staining of the tiles is cosmetic, we understand it is unsightly, and our janitorial team has done everything possible to improve its appearance.

We appreciate your patience as we temporarily put this project on hold.

Other, less visible projects will also be impacted, as repairing the solar mounting system must take top priority. On a positive note, we have engaged Sun Light and Power (SLP) to complete the work. They have been excellent—quickly getting the system operational and now helping us correct the remaining issues.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
James W. Thompson
President

Aquatics
Brianna and Juliette Directors

We’re so excited that our spring swim lessons are officially underway! With the warmer weather, longer days, and summer right around the corner, there’s no better time to be back by the pool. It’s been so great seeing both new and returning swimmers in the water, building their skills, confidence, and love for aquatics.

We’re also excited to share that our Swim Skills Accelerator class SignUpGenius is now live on the website. This is a great opportunity for swimmers to get extra practice and continue progressing—be sure to check it out and reserve your spot!

As we head further into the season, keep an eye out for our summer lesson sign-ups—they’ll be coming soon, and we can’t wait for another fun and busy summer by the pool!

Best,
