Wynterhall Swim & Tennis Club
August 2007 Newsletter
President’s
Message: Justin Taptich
What
a great summer! As the summer winds down
(or heats up) and many settle back into the school routine, I am very thankful
to all that made this a fun summer. The
pool continues to look great, and the lifeguards and parents have kept everyone
safe.
I
have continued to evaluate options for updating/upgrading our facilities, and I
have scheduled another meeting to share all of the information that I have
gathered thus far. The next meeting will
be at the Dunwoody Library at 7pm on Thursday, September 14th. I strongly urge people to make the time to
attend, as this will affect the future of this club.
Again,
I wanted to stress that my intent in evaluating potential facilities upgrades
is two-fold: (1) acting in the best
long-term interest of the club (strategically and fiscally), and (2) continuing
to be a good neighbor to those surrounding the WSTC property. Also, many questions, concerns, and opinions
will be expressed. I welcome them all,
and expect everyone to please be respectful of each other as we navigate this
process.
Thanks
again for a great summer!

Pool
News: Lex Sheehan
Dekalb
county inspectors visited our pool twice this season. We received scores of 95 and 98 out of
100! I want thank our life guards for
doing a great job keeping out children safe, our pool clean and our scores
high!
Note
that any gathering of more than 25 people must be approved. Please see Customer Pool Party Form at http://wynterhall.com/social.htm. Adequate life guard coverage is essential for
everyone’s safety. Please plan
appropriately.
Let’s
continue to be considerate of our life guards by not lingering after the pool
closes! See pool hours at Wynterhall.com
website.
I
want to thank our WTSC members for leaving their tables clean – too bad for the
ants!
Finally,
our pool/playground area was treated for mosquitoes and ants the evening of
August 9, 2007. Looking forward to a bug
free rest of the season!

Team News: Susan Kee
Under
the outstanding leadership of our coaches, Wynterhall divers finished the
season with a winning record of 4-1. It
was a fun season with new club records being set by even our youngest
divers! We were well represented at the
championship meet and finished third among the 12 teams competing. Many thanks go out to not only our dedicated
coaches, but to our tireless volunteers who helped make the season a
success. See you next summer!

What a fantastic summer it has been! The pool has been the perfect place to cool
off and splash around. Hopefully you
have had a chance to enjoy getting together with friends and family as well as
just taking it easy.
The WSTC social calendar has been eventful and
we hope you were able to attend one or all of the summer parties! We had great
turnouts for Memorial Day, WSTC Appreciation Cookout and the 4th of
July BBQ with delicious food and fun entertainment. Many thanks to the Dale Hall Band, John
Willingham and our most recent entertainers, The 4th
.
Thank You
