YOUR ENHANCEMENT DOLLARS AT WORK- Thank you to those who help!
We’re excited to update you on the ongoing enhancement at our pool, made possible by your support and contributions. We anticipate our work will be completed by July 3rd.
We had planned to begin renovations of the men’s sauna right after we finished the pool ceiling and walls, but due to a setback with the failure of our pool heater’s heating element on Friday afternoon, we’ve prioritized its repair. We are actively working to expedite delivery of the necessary parts and have scheduled experts for the installation. It’s an unusual and unfortunate occurrence, particularly since the pool heater is only two years old and just out of warranty.

AS WILLY’S TURNS…a funny thing happened at the club!
Ah, the trials and tribulations of swimming with noodles! Recently, our swimming program faced a noodle conundrum when our trusty old noodles lost their float. The ladies were quite vocal about needing replacements, so we swiftly brought in shiny new ones. Much to our surprise, at the end of the day, our enthusiastic swimmers approached us with a grin and a splash of humor, exclaiming, “We’re thrilled with the new noodles, but they’re a bit too buoyant for comfort” Well, you know what they say- sometimes, you just can’t noodle around with perfection!”
