The Darley Times
Spring 2011

Greetings to all Darley club members. I hope this letter finds you and your families well. To quote a
famous Yankee catcher, this past winter was like déjà vu all over again. But thankfully, warmer and
better weather is right around the corner according to a very reliable and accurate source – that furry
rodent from Pauxatauny. Opening day this year is Saturday, May 28th so mark your calendars. Dues
statements should be mailed during the first week of April and the remittance date is May 1st, strongly
encourage anyone that has any problems paying their dues to please contact myself or our
treasurer. We are willing to work with any family regarding payment of dues and will set up a payment
plan if necessary. In order to keep your dues, and costs to operate the club down, members can
participate in our annual spring clean up. It is critical we get participation from the membership,
especially this season, to ensure a timely opening of the pool. Please remember that we are all
volunteers and the responsibility of getting the club ready should not fall back to a handful of
members. Dates on the Spring Clean Up are contained in the newsletter. I encourage everyone to
come out and help us ready the pool for the upcoming season.

If you are interested in becoming a Board member or willing to help with any Board committees,
please contact myself or any Board member. New faces and ideas are always welcomed and
encouraged. As always, please feel free to contact any Board member with questions, comments,
and or concerns regarding the club. The names and telephone numbers of this year's Board officers
and members are listed in the newsletter and will be posted at the pool.

We are always looking for new members to join our pool and will again be offering incentives to
recruit new members. Two open houses are scheduled and we encourage you pass the word to
friends that are considering joining a pool this season. Please tell your friends and neighbors all of
the good things that Darley has to offer. Our web page is up and running and is a good source for
information. We welcome suggestions on how to better the website so please let us know. Please visit
our web page at: www.darleyswimclub.com.  

See you around the pool.

Sincerely,
Lee Beaver, President
