We all know that we are in the winter doldrums, the holidays over and we are two months from spring. But here is something to look forward to; The Board of Trustees at Island Gate is looking to open the pool a weekend earlier this summer. Instead of Memorial Day weekend we are shooting for the weekend before, which is Saturday May 18th.
There are many reasons why we are looking to do this; because late May can be a beautiful time of year and a great time to swim or get an early start on your summer tan, plus the pool is heated so if it’s not really summer you can still take a dip. Given that, are only 114 days until the pool opens.
Since the pool will be opened before you know it we are starting the process of getting the pool plan for the coming year in place.
First we are looking for pool committee volunteers 2011 was such a success we want to build on what we accomplished and make the pool better than ever. It’s not hard work but a great way to get to know the neighbors and spend time at the pool.
Second how about suggestions to make the pool and pool area better, your thoughts are always appreciated. Over the next month or two the board will finalize rules, hours, contracts etc. for the pool this year. If you have any thoughts speak now or it will be more difficult to get changes made after we make decisions. So don’t be afraid.
I know it sounds premature but we are looking forward to another great pool season at Island Gate and your participation will be a crucial part to that success.
