July 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
NEWS FROM POOLSIDE
(Summer Monthly Newsletter)
From the deck
We certainly had a rainy/cold start and a HOT ending for June! As you know, it was necessary to close the pool on some occasions due to the rain. When the pool closes, an email is sent out as soon as the decision is made.
Pool Hours and Special Events are up-dated weekly on the bulletin board outside the gate.
JULY 4th at the pool
Friday, 7/4
Saturday, 7/5 & Sunday, 7/6
MUSIC, WEEKEND SPECIALS, AND FUN ALL WEEKEND LONG!
Cornhole Games
&
Water Volley Ball
The lap swimmers finish at noon. If you find yourself coming to the pool early, please have something quiet for the children to do. The lifeguards will “transition” the pool as the lap swimmers are finishing up. The guards make the judgement call when to begin general swimming.
Please help us maintain a clean and neat pool area. Remember to pick up litter and retrieve toys, towels, and such. Check the Lost and Found Table if you are missing something. Straightening chairs and checking that your table is clean before leaving also helps the lifeguards with the clean-up duties before closing.
Swimming Lessons in July
We will be offering swimming lessons again this month. Please contact Mike Mastrianni @ mikemastrianni1@gmail.com or TEXT to 845-416-5528. Please let him know what type of lessons you are interested in. Once again, please share the information with friends who may not be members yet. 😊 Thank you!
Member/Guest Weekend
JULY 25th, 26th, 27th
Parking will be at a premium for the entire weekend. You are encouraged to use the additional parking area behind the golf cart storage pen. Please remember to be respectful to those on the first tee as you approach the pool gates.
There is always ice-cold water and extra condiments on the table near the stairs to the porch area. (Please remind the children that the water is not to play with!) You are also welcome to eat on the porch if the weather becomes stormy or it is too uncomfortable outside. We just ask that you follow the dress code and don’t come up right out of the pool with wet suits.
Sarah has Pool Party Reservation forms at the bar. It’s a great way to take advantage of our beautiful facility. Sarah and Sabrina will be more than happy to assist you in planning your get-together and suggesting a menu.
