Reports
President’s–Reenie
Discussed that we called everyone here because we don’t have enough money to open this year.
Secretary’s–Kristy
Went through numbers and expenses. We had 8 more members email and said they would join, however we are still short $2,500.
A lot of ideas were thrown out. They included asking for donations, dividing the $2,500 among the current members-aprox $50 each, not having life guards, opening a couple weeks later since it is so cold in the beginning and then in hopes that we have enough money to keep it open through Labor Day when it is warmer, asking Businesses to make a donation in trade for an ad space on the fence, having an adult only wine night, having a teen party, posting on Next Door and trying to gain interest there, calling the 2015 Guests that did not join and ask them if they would be willing to join again. Everyone really wanted to see the pool succeed.
It was decided that Barbara Halepeska will post on Next Door, Kristy Van Metre will email Michelle Black a list of names of people who didn’t renew and she will call. We will have another meeting on Tuesday May 24th at 6pm to see if we were able to get enough money to open and then start opening the pool in hopes of having it open by June 11th. Kristy will send an email out to the members letting them know we are hoping to get enough members and will just push the opening date back. If we get enough to open we will discuss the other options like adult parties, teen parties & business ads at the next meeting.
Next Meeting: Tuesday May 24th at 6pm at LakeShore
