Welcome to the 2018 Pool Season

Virginia Hills Swim Club

Dear fellow pool members,

My name is Jeff Govert and I am the new president of the pool.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to a new year as well as let you know what is happening with your swim club.

Board News:

We held our second Board meeting of 2018 and elected our pool officers and committee chairs. The elections went as follows:

President: Jeff Govert
Vice President: Eliza Jacobs
Secretary: Regina Mohr
Treasurer: Jimmy Hendrix
Asst Treasurer: Dave Teal
Operations: Pam Mahony
Membership: Eliza Jacobs
Marketing: Diane Lentini
Facilities: Andy King
Swim Team Reps: Caitlin Irvin & Anne Govert

If you see any board members out in public or around the pool please let us know if you have any questions.

Also, please keep in mind that we are all volunteers and do this to make sure we keep Virginia Hills Swim Club the special place that it is.

If any of you are interested in joining the board or attending a board meeting please let me know.

The board can have a maximum of 15 members, but must have 5. We are currently sitting at 8. Two of us will be rolling off due to term limits next year, so please if you have any ideas of how we can improve the pool or the desire to get involved consider joining the board.

Assessment Information

As you have all hopefully seen, there is an assessment that was agreed to during last year’s shareholder meeting. The board wants to make sure there is clarity around why we need this assessment. Please click on the following link to get further details VHP 2018 Assessment

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at president@vahillspool.org

I also want to inform all members that as an incentive to get your dues and assessment paid early we are offering the following:

If you submit your payment in full (dues & assessment) by March 1^st you will be given 5 guest passes for 2018.
If you pay in full by April 1 you will be given 3 guest passes for 2018.

Please know that the startup of the pool season is the most costly part of the year and is when our bank balance is the lowest. Paying your dues as early as possible definitely helps the club out.

Sponsorship

Last year the board created a marketing committee in hopes of bringing in revenue and services that can help defray some of the pool costs, such as maintenance items like tree care. Thanks to a lot of hard work, we had a successful first year. We will be looking to grow our sponsorships this year and ask for your support.

If you are a business owner or know one that may be interested in sponsoring the club please review the following Call To Membership for Sponsorships. If you have any questions please contact Diane at vahillspoolmarketing@gmail.com

Another way that Marketing helped with our bottom line was by holding spirit events which we are going to continue in 2018. The first of those events will be at Fiona's Irish Pub Tuesday March 20th from 5-8 pm please click Fiona's Spirit Dinner for more details.

The board is proud to announce the second annual pool member recruitment contest for the 2018 summer season. Recruitment Contest

Lifeguards:

If you have a 15 year or older person living in your household that loves to be out in the summer and has always dreamed of being a lifeguard here is their opportunity. Our new pool management company (Titan Pools) is now looking for local individuals who are interested in becoming lifeguards. If you or someone you know has any interest please click on Titan Pools Job Application and fill it out!

As we prepare for the new season I will be sending out occasional messages keeping you all informed on the status of our projects as well as any other items that may come up.

Thank you,

Jeff Govert
