2024 Season - Our First Look Ahead

March is certainly living up to its reputation for wild weather extremes, with trees blowing down onto power lines, 40 degree variations in temperature, and the geese coming back to the area.

The pool club has been busy in March as well. At our recent board meeting, we set the 2024 price for pool-owned memberships to $3000.

The club has two reverted memberships to sell, and we will hold a lottery in early April. If you are interested in purchasing a pool membership directly from the club for $3000.00, please pass along your contact information (name, e-mail, and telephone number) to our Pool Administrator (pool@greenbriar.org) no later than March 31, 2024. On April 2nd, we will assign bingo numbers to all participants, and then randomly draw numbers to determine the order of the participants. We will then reach out to the participants in order, giving them the option to purchase the membership or refuse the purchase. This process will repeat until both memberships are sold, at which point we’ll let any remaining participants know that the memberships are all sold. Purchasing a membership does not include the payment of the maintenance fee, which is set to $475.00 for the 2023 season and is due by April 15th. One note - we accept one "entry" per family unit (people related living at one address). This is not like buying 20 megamillions tickets to increase your chances of winning.
Update 4/10/2024 - both memberships have been sold!

We don't anticipate any changes in pool rules for the 2024 season, but we will post reminders in May about some issues we've had in recent years that we hope to avoid this year.

The pool facility is coming to life - you'll see that all our umbrellas are up (the one "bare" umbrella WILL be covered before we open) and you'll see folks out working to replace some plumbing, upgrade our pumps and chlorine storage, and to drain and refill the pool. You'll also see our smaller diving board stand getting removed as we'll be putting in a new stand with a "bouncier" board before we open.

One final reminder - the maintenance fee (same price as last year) is due by April 15th, to avoid a late payment fee.

We will send out another "look ahead" notice in April, and several in May before we open on May 25th.

2024 MAINTENANCE FEE IS $475, AND DUE BY APRIL 15TH

At our Annual Membership Meeting in February, the 2024 maintenance fee was unchanged at $475.00. The maintenance fee must be paid in Member Splash (checks are NOT accepted) by April 15, 2024 to avoid late payment penalties. As of 3/1/2024, Member Splash is open and accepting payments. If you have difficulties with the Member Splash system or need any assistance, please contact our Pool Admin at pool@greenbriar.org. Please make sure to include your membership number in your email.

We look forward to seeing you at the pool this season!

2024 Annual Meeting and Election Results

On February 21, the pool club had its annual meeting.  We reviewed the budget and plans for the 2024 pool season.  Key points made included:

  • The 2024 maintenance fee will remain $475 for 2024.  We do anticipate having to draw on our cash reserves a bit this year to make some repairs and investments in the facility, including:

    • Removal of dead/dying trees (judged by an arborist) on the property which pose a hazard, and the planting of new trees.

    • Clearing a root problem in the snack bar drainage line, which may require tearing up the parking lot to replace a section of pipe

    • Replacement of the small playground set near the baby pool

    • Replacement of the backflow protection valve on our water line(s)

  • NVPools will be performing a refresh of some equipment in the pump room before we open, to ensure that the pool water remains in excellent condition.

  • Depending on what happens to the economy, it’s likely that the 2025 maintenance fee will be increased, so members should keep that in mind.

  • Maintenance fees may be paid on MemberSplash beginning in March 2024, and are due (as always) by April 15.

  • The swim and dive teams both had excellent seasons in 2023, and we have new dive reps for 2024 and our dive team has moved up to division 3.  Our swim head coach will return, and we will be recruiting coaching positions through April. We will also be replacing the small diving board with a new 1/2 meter stand and a bouncier board.

  • The pool has two reverted memberships for sale.  We will post information on the pool website in March about our lottery process, after the board sets the price for a membership.

  • We are looking for help with the planning and managing of special activities this season. Please reach out to Bethany Quick to volunteer for the special activities committee.

  • There were no bylaws amendments
