Pool Social Events On the Calendar!!!!
Dear Murraywood Pool Members,

Updates and NEWS!
Our Memorial Day Cookout was a big success! And, SO much FUN!! 165 members joined us for the cookout. It was so much fun and so yummy! Special thanks to our Grill Master Tom Keckeisen and everyone who helped make this event so special!

Last Friday we held our first meeting of the Pool Social Committee. Some members are calling this committee the Pool Fun Team and that is a correct name! 26 of your fellow members have begun planning a summer filled with fun activities. Our Pool calendar on the website will be changing quite a lot so check the website often – we’ll update activities as we get them planned. Now is a good time to emphasize that the committee is open to all who want to join the team – please do join us either by suggestions or volunteering or both!
Specifics as of now:
Movie Night will be pushed to mid-July to ensure we have the right equipment. We’ll have our first FRIDAY DINNER COOKOUT and CANNONBALL CONTEST on Friday, 6/24. Cannonball Contest will have awards by age group and will start at 4:30. A few of the committee members have volunteered to fix burgers, hot dogs, quesadillas, jalapeno poppers, nachos, fries and more on Friday from 6:00 – 7:30. This menu will be a la carte pricing with all profits going to a dedicated fund for future pool renovations and upgrades.
If the 6/24 Friday Cookout is popular, we will repeat it, change up the menu and open the grilling to anyone who loves to grill!


July 4th Independence Day Pool celebration will include Food Trucks! We’ve got one booked and are working on several more. If any of you have a special request and know how to connect with a Food Truck Owner, please let us know!
Other ideas not yet on the calendar include:
  • Movie Night
  • Trivia Night
  • Taco Night
  • Pizza Night
  • Pancake Breakfast
  • Chili Cookoff
  • Bingo
  • Casino Night
  • Disco Party
  • Vinyl Record Party
  • And lots of Pool activities like the Cannonball Contest, 9x9 in the water and air, Volleyball, Corn Hole Tournament.
All these ideas are designed to enhance the Pool Community and to generate added monies to improve our wonderful Pool. Please take part and let us know how we’re doing and keep those great suggestions coming!

Thanks! See you at the Pool!

Entry and Exit Gates Now Have Latches
DHEC Regulation to Protect Our Children
Long ago, we had electronic locks that released upon a buzzer press to allow the entry and exit gates to open. This meant that little children could neither enter the pool area without an adult nor head to the parking lot on their own. Safety is so important!

Please see the photo below for instructions on how to open and shut these gates.
