The Special Activities Team is Ready for Summer!

March 27, 2014 by Katherine Hawthorne

Katherine Hawthorne and Kerry Dangerfield are making preparations for a FUN FILLED summer at Greenbriar Pool Club Inc. We've planned Youth Nights, Late Nights, Adult Nights and Rafternoons! Check out the calendar for even more.

Opportunities to VOLUNTEER to help at these events are numerous. We are looking for everything from folks to be at the events to make sure they run smoothly from start to finish with the guests and vendors, set up, run kids games, man the food lines, work the grill and help clean up! Please contact the pool if you see an event you are interested in. The Old Fashioned Family 4th is one of our biggest events where we need the most volunteers.

If you are a college student looking for internship opportunities, please contact the pool. We are looking for a couple of energetic students to help out with Special Activities this summer.

Looking forward to seeing you all around the pool!

Greenbriar Pool Volunteer Day!

May 17, 2013 by Peter Harsha in Volunteers

Calling all Greenbriar Pool Volunteers!

Join us and help get the pool ready for opening day! Though we've had great volunteer support so far -- thanks to all our painters! -- we're less than 9 days from opening and there's still much to be done. To make our last push to get the final tasks and cleaning done, we'll have a Volunteer Day at the pool on Saturday, May 18th (this Saturday!).

Among the things we'll be doing:

+ Turning over and raking the sand in the play area

+ Weeding some of the planting areas

+ Cleaning and repositioning deck chairs and tables

+ General cleaning of the facility and deck

So, if you're able, please plan on joining us at the pool on Saturday, beginning at 9 am. We'll work until we run out of things to do. If you have a shovel, rake, or scrub brush, please feel free to bring those, too.

As incentive, all volunteers who join us Saturday (or any other day) will receive a "Golden Ticket" to a special swim session Friday afternoon (5/24) before opening day, just for our volunteers!*

Thanks again for signing up as a volunteer, and hope we'll see you on Saturday!

Makin' Progress! We ❤ our Volunteers!

April 15, 2013 by Peter Harsha in To-do!

We're now two weekends down in our eight week Greenbriar Pool pre-opening work schedule and pleased to report some great progress (and great weather!)!

Our awesome volunteers have helped clean and prep both the dumpster enclosure and the mural wall and given them new coats of paint. The dumpster enclosure took a lot of power washing to clean up, but fortunately there were a lot of bodies willing to take a shift or two to get it done. Thanks especially to Dan M., Michelle L., Loriann G., and Doug H. for spending the bulk of the time cutting through the grease, grime and mold on the wall and prepping the surface for its new paint.

Thanks also to Dan M., Karen M., Brandy J., Jim J., and Gene N., for helping prep and clean the rail on the mural wall for new paint, Karen M., Dan M., Theo H., and Doug H., for cleaning the mural wall, and Patti P., Kevin P., Alex P., Deb C., Gary Y, Mary O., for handling the first coat of primer and paint. Michelle L., Nick J., Brandy J., Jim J., Karen M., and Gary Y., all helped get the locker room doors prepped for their new paint, too.

While there's lots of measurable progress, there's more yet to be done. You can keep track of all the tasks yet to complete on our Volunteer Opportunities page, and better yet, sign up and offer to take care of a few yourself!

In the coming days we'll finish priming and painting all the various doors around the facility -- the locker room doors, the doors to electrical cabinet and storage closet, the doors to the snack bar.

In addition, on Monday, April 15th, at 6 pm at the pool, we'll have the first meeting of the Greenbriar Pool Beautification Committee. It's not too late to be a part of it! Come on out and help the club manage its landscaping needs and keep its planting beds clean and thriving. Your pool needs you!
