MAINTENANCE FEE:
Our pool is over 50 years old and the maintenance on a pool that old is expensive and frequent. The $100 maintenance fee was created in order to get members invested in volunteering time at the pool, if 6 hours of volunteer time is performed between Memorial Day and opening day of the following season), the following year you get a credit for your maintenance fee. For those who do not wish to volunteer, paying the $100 maintenance fee means we have a fund of money to help hire someone get the work done. Exempted from $100 fee: First time pool members. When you pay your maintenance fee and then volunteer your time (minimum of 6 hours) during clean-up days, for general operations or for fundraisers, you will receive a $100 credit toward your NEXT summer's fees. Many members choose to sign up for their hours and they do not have to pay the maintenance fee as long as the hours are contributed. We are a VOLUNTEER organization and we your need help to make this place run smoothly. If you prefer NOT to volunteer, you can pay the $100 maintenance fee yearly and do not worry about volunteering! The money we collect for maintenance will be used to hire people to get some of the work done (lawnmowing, landscaping, etc.) Membership Responsibilities
All members and stockholders are expected to participate on work days held throughout the pool season and year. As stockholders, you are part owner of the pool & land and will also be responsible for it's upkeep. This can be a fun way to get to know more HRA members! All cleaning, landscaping, building, painting and other maintenance issues are completed by pool members as volunteers. There are no paid positions. All families are expected to work a minimum of 6 hours per season. Fundraisers are also held to raise the money necessary to keep from raising dues. Several fundraisers are offered per year and everyone is encouraged to participate in at least one. If you have a good idea for a fundraiser, let your Board know. Cell Tower Income
Many people ask us "What about the Cell Tower income? Aren't you guys awash in money?" WE WISH!! Virtually all the money from the Cell Tower (minus the amount required to maintain operating costs) is going DIRECTLY to our protected CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.

UPDATE: Volunteer found!!

Want to save $100?? Looking to get a jump start on your maintenance hours for next summer already?!

We're looking for someone to help us manage our cardboard recycling for the summer.

All those tasty Snack Shack treats come in boxes of all sizes. We try to do our part for Mother Earth and our community and recycle those babies.

We're looking for someone to take the broken down boxes from The Snack Shack once every week or two to the recycling dumpster behind the fire station by Gildersleeve Middle School.

This could be a perfect summer volunteer project for a student needing volunteer hours or just a family looking to earn their maintenance hours for next summer!

If this sounds like you, drop us a message!
