Happy Hours this Summer

The Board made a decision this year to plan for weekly happy hours instead of funding a single large adult party at the end of the year.  This was based on requests from the membership via the general survey presented last year, and any changes the Board has made have been based on these member’s inputs.

An anonymous concern was provided to the Board via the web site this week, requesting reconsideration of the Friday Happy Hours due to the wrong message being sent to the children.

Per the Association Bylaws, alcohol is allowed at the pool based on Board approval, and the Board has taken measures to ensure the policy is enforced and well controlled.  Further, the Board has denied additional requests for bringing alcohol to the pool, due to those very concerns regarding sending the wrong message to the children.  If additional concerns are presented to the Board, this issue will be added to the agenda for the next Board meeting and will be discussed in an open membership format.  The Board members remain faithful to the Association, in looking out for the best interests of the majority of the membership while upholding the highest standards for safety.

Please feel free to submit feedback on this or any other issue in the form on the bottom right-hand side of our website.

Pavilion Sound System

We don’t have one!  But, we would love to install one to provide for people having parties and events out there.

We would like to know if you have an old stereo system or outdoor speakers you would like to donate to the pool.  We will worry about whether they work for the pavilion, we just want to hear from you.  Please use the “feedback” form on the right side of the web page to send us your comment and let us know if you have something you are willing to give to the pool.

Thanks – and we’ll see you at the pool

Welcome to Summer!

Mark your calendars: We have plenty o’ fun in the sun planned for Sideburn Run Pool in June.

Friday, June 17,  5:30 – 7:30ish  Kickoff (your shoes) Happy Hour– Stop by after work on Friday for our first free happy hour, at the pavilion for all members over 21 years of age. Beer and wine will be served by glamorous volunteer board members. Yes, you can have a beer while sitting on a chaise watching your children behave themselves, like they always do, those little darlings.

Tuesday, June 21, 1:00  Boola Boola No More Schoola Party–No more teachers, no more books, lots of free ice pops for any kid who comes to the pool today. We’ll get some kid-friendly tunes cooking and maybe some bubbles too.

Thursday, June 23, 7:00  Raft Nights Begin–Bring your favorite flotation device for an evening of fun. We will have Raft Night EVERY Thursday through the end of August.

When it comes to Raft Night, we have Three Big Rules for Happiness and Harmony:

  1. One-person-size rafts only (those eight-person floating sombreros make it impossible for the guards to see the bottom of the pool).
  2. Do not jump from side of pool onto the float (because you’re gonna crack your head open, silly… and while we’re mentioning it, no jumping from the float to the side of the pool either).
  3. No attempting to drown your fellow floater by tipping over his/her raft (no exceptions, even for arguably justified retaliation against super-annoying siblings/spouses).   OK?  OK.

Cheers! See you at the pool!

P.S. Oh, and one more thing: The Fourth of July. This is an open call to all you people who like to plan parties. We are gathering a few good men and women to help organize and run our outrageously popular July 4 bash. Got ideas? Got decorating skills? Got time to run for ice that morning?  Please, contact Danielle Furlich, Mistress of Activities, at activities@sideburnrun.com.  We need YOU to make this party a success.
