Potluck

Thanks so much to all of you who braved the cloudy skies and rain to attend the potluck on Saturday. It was great to see all of you. If you missed it, never fear; two more are planned for later in the summer.

Does it get any better than this?

I took advantage of lap swim this afternoon from 1:00-1:30. My husband and I had the pool to ourselves and it was glorious. The pool temperature is a perfect 82 degrees. The lifeguard arrived about 1:20 and swimmers began to congregate. At 1:30 about 15 swimmers of all ages were ready to enjoy beautiful sunny afternoon at the pool.

You could be swimming with us. If you are interested in a membership, call Karen Buxton 375-3140 for more information.

The Pool is Open

The weather this past weekend was beautiful and the water was wonderful. If you haven't yet paid your dues and picked up your keys, do it today. You don't want to miss out on a single opportunity to enjoy a swim. Dues must be paid by June 1st to avoid a late penalty. Contact Karen Buxton, 375-3140 to make arrangements.



The opening potluck is coming up soon. Come visit with your friends and neighbors and relax by the pool.
