POOL YOUR TIME WITH US!
Every member of Hidenwood
Pool has a vested interest in helping our pool to run smoothly.
We are an operation of VOLUNTEERS and it is only through volunteering
that we can keep our pool functioning at its best.
Over the past few
years, we have noticed the "pool" of volunteers dwindling
to a wonderful group of a few select people and the Pool Board of
Directors.
For a volunteer operation, this means high levels of burnout for
those doing the volunteering.
So this year we are hoping to increase that volunteer "pool" by
instituting a mandatory time for volunteering
OR you can opt to pay the $50 fee each year in lieu of volunteering.
That $50 fee allows us to hire someone to get things done that aren't
completed
by our group of volunteers.
So beginning in
2009,
we began instituting a $50 maintenance fee for all members
(only Stockholders brand NEW to the pool are exempt).
Most local pools have been doing this for years.
When you pay the $50 maintenance fee AND volunteer your 5 hours
of time,
you will receive a $50 credit toward your maintenance dues
for the next year.
Most members choose to sign up for a time to volunteer in lieu of paying the $50 maintenance fee.
There will be a sign in and sign out book to clock your time.
Your time needs to be documented (co-signature) by the Pool Manager or
a member of the Pool Board.
If
you want to volunteer in a way not listed here, contact
Amy
to let her know how you wish to volunteer!
WAYS TO VOLUNTEER and work off the maintenance fee!
1)
Clean up days.
Several are scheduled through the year.
These days are chosen by the Board and sent out via email.
If you are not currently receiving our emails, send your name in to
Amy
.
2010 Clean Up Days:
Saturday May 1st
Saturday May 15th
Saturday May 22nd and Sunday May 23rd
2)
FAMILY FUN NIGHT.
Nearly every Friday of the summer of 2009 was
Friday Family Fun Night!
We provided the food, you provided the
cooking and serving skills! This event was an astounding
success in terms of FUN for the families participating.
Your 5 hours
is completed when you have 2 of your family members
donating their
evening to Friday Family Fun Night!
Getting to know the
membership and others in our
community is always a plus!
Interested
in doing this in 2010?
Send your name in to
Amy
.
3)
FALL FESTIVAL.
The 2010 Fall Festival
will be held Saturday, November 6th.
Volunteering for this event is
MAJOR fun! This
is a great way to get to know people in the neighborhood
and have fun doing it! We have a Barbeque and other delicious
goodies to offer as well as fun games for the kids-cake walk, moon jump
petting zoo and all sorts of other fun events!
This event runs from 11 am - 3 pm. Want to help with this event
in 2010?
Email the FALL FESTIVAL COMMITTEE to get on the list of those in the
know!
If you haven't worked off your maintenance fee hours, you can do it all
in this one day!
If you would like to volunteer for this fun event, contact the
FALL FESTIVAL COMMITTEE.
4)
Yard Maintenance.
If you like weeding and lawn mowing, this may be the thing for you!
In the summer (and occasionally in the fall and spring),
we need people to mow the whole yard, weed whack, edge and weed the
landscaped areas.
Spreading mulch, picking up trash and raking leaves are also great
maintenance helpers.
This is something you can do basically on your own schedule!
Send your name and contact information in to
Jeff
and
he will put you on the schedule!
5)
BE A BOARD of DIRECTORS MEMBER.
While this is more than a 5 hour commitment, it is one way of
volunteering
that you will find rewarding and fulfilling. We have a lot of fun
at our
Board meetings because all of us are dedicated to HRA and helping it
be a fun community place to PLAY with your family.
If you would like to sit in on a Board meeting, we'd love to have you
there!
