POOL: The End of Summer Party will be Saturday, September 11th. The day will be similar to the 4th of July party but of course without the fireworks. MILITARY APPRECIATION PARTY: On Sunday the 12th the pool and patio is being reserved for a military appreciation party from 2pm to 6pm. I encourage all active duty military living in DV to attend. Please contact Al or Ara Lawrence 422 7232 by Thursday, September the 9th with your reservation; we need an approximate number of how many guests to expect. No lifeguards will be on duty after the September the 12th party so swimming will be at your own risk for the remainder of the season. On Sunday the 19th, the pool and patio will be reserved for the annual employee picnic from 12 noon until 6pm. The pool will be closed for the year after the employee party. AQUATICS: The season is winding down and I want to take this opportunity to thank the members for supporting the pool and Snack Bar. The Tike Bar was newly added this year and we hope it will be a continued success in the future. The lifeguards and day camp personnel did an outstanding job this summer; thank you for your efforts. A very special thank you goes out to the Aquatics Director, Peggy Geary. Peggy volunteers her time and resources to make our experience at the pool an enjoyable one. She has helped many adults and children learn to swim during her swim classes as well as manage the day to day activities at the pool. I’m fortunate to have her on staff to keep everything running smoothly. SNACK BAR: I want to thank the staff at the Snack Bar for providing everyone good food at an affordable price. There were only a couple of complaints this year (you can’t please everyone). Hopefully Amy Morter and Karen McCool will be back next year. FIREWORKS: We will be taking donations from now until next July for the 2011 fireworks show. You’re contributions as well as the local business community are what makes the show possible. We again want to thank our corporate sponsors for their continued support. TRIATHELON: The Meade County Athletic Center (or committee at present) had their triathlon on Saturday the 21st. The event was delayed by weather but was completed about two hours late. We had quite a crowd showing up to participate, (over 90) plus the observers. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it possible and we look forward to other community events in the future. PAVING: Scheduled to begin on or about the 15th of August. Use caution when you see the crews on the roadways and watch your speed. Many areas are on the list this year; not all will be repaired until next time. I try to keep the cost around $75,000 so we are limited to what can be fixed each year. This also does not include the cost of striping this year. Our roads are in good shape for the most part and we know that eventually we’ll have to address the Parkway for some major paving. The road fund account is continuing to build so we’ll have the money when that time comes. |
