Announcements

Activity is Strong as New Members Prepare to Make the Move to PHP

New members will be introduced in September at an in-person event, so stay tuned for a Save the Date! 

Meanwhile activity is still strong, and Members are to be commended for recruiting their friends. I also want to thank everyone who stops and introduces themselves to guests who are touring. It really makes them feel at home and confirms how welcoming and inclusive all of our members are. You are simply the best and are known in the community for being so kind, supportive and welcoming to new members. 

Quick sales update - We have five condominium homes in inventory and two of the five cottage lots have been reserved.

About PHP Art Exhibit

We hope you are enjoying the rotating PHP art exhibits in the hallway outside of the Bridle Room on your way to the Georgian Room. The current exhibit is from the collection of Member Candace McNair. Click here for Candace’s story behind her collection.

From the Lending Library Committee

Thank you for your donations to the Lending Library, located on Level P beyond The Wellness Center. Please leave your donated book(s) on the brown credenza and the committee will shelve them. Be sure to return the books you borrow within two weeks so all Members can enjoy them. If you have any questions, please contact Louise Franklin at 404.550.8188. 

From Facilities

If you don’t have a service contract with a HVAC company, your furnace filter may need to be replaced. Replacing the filter is an easy way to lengthen the life of your system. Indoor air quality: A clean air filter will remove most of the dust and pollen particles that would otherwise be in the air. This is particularly important for anyone suffering from allergies or asthma. Please call Facilities at 678.619.0478 if you need assistance.

From Security

Please watch your speed when driving on our campus, especially near your garage entrances and exits. When entering the PHP elevators, please be mindful of the threshold. Thank you.
