POOL USE AND POOL PARTY PLANNING

Please be considerate of your neighbors when using the pool, pool deck, barbecues, and
tables…their use is on a first-come, first-serve basis and are available for ALL to enjoy.  
Additionally, you are responsible for your own clean-up…tabletops should be clean and all
trash should be properly disposed of before you leave.  (It is not the lifeguard’s
responsibility to pick up after you, your children, or your guests).  If you plan to use the
barbecues and need to store some items in the refrigerator, please remove them from the
refrigerator when you leave.  (Saturday’s leftovers don’t look very appetizing by Monday
morning!!)  If you use the kitchen appliances, (oven, griddle, etc.), please clean them before
you leave.  No one appreciates having to clean up someone else’s mess and the
maintenance crew only comes once a week!!

Access and use of the kitchen is not allowed when the Clubhouse has been booked for a
private party.

If you are planning a get-together at the pool, please call the Manager (259-8400) with the
date and time.  She will check to make sure that there are no events scheduled and that the
pool is adequately staffed.  Please keep in mind that you must limit the total number in your
party to twenty or fewer during the peak season (Memorial Day weekend – September 30).
