SEMI-ANNUAL COMMUNITY RUMMAGE SALE

Guyan Estates Pool Parking Lot

The Swim Club will be having a fundraising Hot Dog Sale beginning at 8am that day. It will be in the parking lot beside the pool and community building.

We accept any donations of food items to sell-things like hot dogs, homemade hot dog sauce, buns, cans of soda, bottled water, & small bags of chips.  Proceeds from our sale will get the pool season "kicked off"-buying paint, making insurance deposits, and  stocking the concession stand, etc.  If you would like to make a donation-monetary or items-call Christina 304-638-5519.  If you are unable to give financially- we can use your helping hands! If you can come down for an hour or two and serve hotdogs or chips to the hungry shoppers or if you are a shopper-come buy from us! (the homemade hot dog sauce is always delicious!)

We look forward to having them this year at the pool. WELCOME LIFEGUARDS! CONSTRUCTION If you have walked by the pool lately, you have likely noticed major construction and renovations are going on!  All of the old concrete has been successfully removed.  We are saying goodbye to the cracked, uneven faulty concrete deck that has served well since the 1960's.  Stay tuned as the new concrete deck will be in place in time for the 2012 pool season!  We are always needing helping hands-as the new concrete goes down- just endless little jobs as we prepare for this exciting new improvement for our community pool. Phase 2 of our Spring Renovation Project has continued in spite of the rain. It has consisted mostly of digging holes and looking at plumbing and electrical lines. Not the most exciting of things, but its work that must be done before the new concrete goes down, hopefully, beginning sometime next week. MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS Applications will be out at the end of this week for you to fill out and return so you can join the pool.  We also permit non Guyan Estates Residents to the same privileges of our pool & community building so let us know and we will get you an application!  Applications available May 4th.  If you are a Guyan Estates Resident-flyers will appear on your doorstep soon!  Or come by the hot dog sale to pick up an application. MEMORIAL WEEKEND PARADE/PICNIC/FREE SWIM The details of this event is in the planning phase.
