Committee Reports

Health Club Chair Ken Anderson reviewed recent business being considered by the Committee including UV film for windows, a coming project to improve doors in the pool area, the possible rebuilding of the jacuzzi platform, concerns about membership guest abuse and the possibility of considering adding attendant shifts.

Social Committee Liaison Jean Shamo reviewed some expectations and details regarding the upcoming 4th of July Celebration, and in particular informed everyone there were now enough volunteers to help so the party will indeed move forward. However, the team could still use a helping hand. If you are willing and able, please contact the office and we will put you in touch with Committee Chair Sheldon Atovsky. She also confirmed guest ticket pricing for advance reservations and door traffic.

Board Report

Board President Michael Parrie discussed potential coming changes for package deliveries and the dry cleaning solution being considered by the Home Improvement Committee. Reportedly Sue and Jim may retire in coming months, but more importantly due to the growth of AMAZON and online shopping in general, “everyday is like Christmas”, as they have said. They are looking into options to better accommodate the volume of shipments and packages for residents, including the possibility of installing lockers in the area now occupied by the Cleaners and Receiving Room.
