Opening Info and Stocks!

The Spring bulbs are starting to show their beauty and Pool Crew is coming out of their hibernation. Last week, we had our first Board Meeting of the season. Ideas have been percolating and plans are becoming reality. We want to keep you up to date with what’s happening at the pool, as well as another way to save on your 2016 dues and make it easy on your wallet. Lastly, want to sell your stock? Want to buy someone’s stock? See below. We are excited about 2016 and hope you are too!

Money, Money, Money!
Our End of Year totals ended up being great. We have set aside over half of our 2015 revenue for our major future projects. Remember our 3 year plan? This plan includes resurfacing the pool ($20,000), retiling the pool ($6,000), up grading our ancient filter ($9,000) and pump ($10,000), and various other things. Long story short, we have been very conservative with our money last season and hope that trend continues as we give new life to EPP!

This Year’s Plan!
We have enough money and excitement to complete some of those ideas that have daunted us. We would love some help, whether it be in the form of volunteering, supplies, and committing to Eaman Park Pool this season.

Here is what’s going on before we open on May 28th at 11am:
• Fill in the Baby Pool! (Do you have any old bricks, concrete, or pavers to help us fill it in?! Let us know. We will haul it away!)
• Cut Down the Fence!
• Remove the Old Swings and Replace It!
• And One More Big Surprise!

What we DON’T have to do:
• Empty and clean the pool!
(Please thank Bob for running the filters and checking the skimmers for the last 5 months!)

Membership Dues Deal ENDS April 1…
But Wait, There’s More!
Remember how we ended the year with a record number of awesome members? And how we have 41 new memberships? We all know that the second year is the hardest, because those new members need to purchase stock. We introduced a way to pay online and over 10% of you opted for that. Because of you, we are able to complete the items above and save a bit more.

STOCKHOLDER DISCOUNT DUES END ON APRIL 1…so we have an idea!

We have four months before Mid-June. Let’s give the payment plan another try!

Ways to Pay your 2016 Dues
1. On-Line Payment Plan can be set-up on our website, www.EamanParkPool.com, via PayPal with any credit card. Payments will be withdrawn automatically for 4 months March – June, 2016. You will need to set it up by Mid-March. We will be taking this option down as of March 15.
2. Pay by Check over the off season or during the first few weeks we are open in May, 2016.
3. Pay by Credit Card with one payment during the first few weeks we are open in May, 2016 at the Guard Shack.

2015 New Stock Questions:
For those of you the purchased or transferred stock over the summer, have no fear! We know you paid, even though your certificate has not arrived yet. We are working out the kinks and really thinking ahead, which is a plus for everyone! We will keep you posted as we know more and, more importantly, we will see you at the pool!

WANT TO SELL YOUR STOCK?
The pool will waive the transfer fee until June 1, 2016. Use Facebook to connect with those interested in buying your stock. You price it and work out the details with the New Member. The New Member provides us with the original certificate and we will do the rest.

Get Out Your Calendar!
Remember how the pool is run by volunteers?! This is when the Pool Crew really needs your help. And yes, as an active volunteer will not only get an amazing pool and community, but we will open the pool early just for you a week early! Yes! You can come swim on May 21st and 22nd just by spending a little time on the yard or pulling out the furniture! See below:
