Hello DH members!!

It’s that time of year again. Trees are getting green, the pool cleanup is in full swing, our staff is in training and opening day is nearly here. AND opening day for the 2022 season will be Saturday, May 7 at 10 am.

The pool board will once again be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers for picnics on Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day. Family movie nights and tot, kid, and teen events are on the summer agenda. The annual Adult Dinner will be on July 16 and the now “annual” Oktoberfest will be on September 24. The calendar on our website is up to date, so please take a look and, keep an eye out for changes and additional membership events.

We’re especially excited that we’ve been able to get to a couple of long-standing asks from members. We’ll no longer have to fight the vending machines as we are opening our new SNACK BAR!! The new snack bar will be serving cold drinks (soft drinks!!), chips and candy, and ice cream.  We also have wireless access available around the entire facility!

Stay posted for more updates and, we’ll see you soon!! https://dominionhills.org/ 

All the best!
– Your DH Board & Pool Manager

Dear DHARA Members,

We hope you’re as excited as we are excited about the 2022 pool season! We wanted to send a friendly reminder that 2022 payments are due by March 15 (next Tuesday).

Membership dues are $975 for regular members and $455 for emeritus members. A $100 late fee will be applied for payments submitted after March 15 – the fee increases to $225 after April 15. Memberships with unpaid dues by May 1 are subject to condemnation and resale.

To access your bill, please visit the account management page here, where you will be prompted to log in. If you’ve forgotten your username or password, please use the reset password feature under the login button.

As in past years, we request that you pay your membership dues online to help ease administrative burdens and ensure timely and accurate records of your payment. Please note that a processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 will be applied.

If you prefer to pay by check, please make the check out to Dominion Hills Area Recreation Association and send it with your membership # in the memo line to: Dominion Hills Area Recreation Association, P.O. Box 5643, Arlington, VA 22205.

See you at the pool!

The DHARA Board

Our 66th Annual Membership Meeting will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, February 2nd at 7pm.  Due to COVID-19, we are unfortunately unable to meet in-person at the clubhouse this year. That said, please attend virtually as your input is important to us and the decisions we make as a board. The meeting is not expected to be lengthy, but we’ll share updates on our work over this past year, plans for next year and beyond, elect Board members, consider amendments to the Bylaws, approve the budget, and most importantly listen to your feedback and suggestions. See the detailed meeting agenda for the Zoom link and the full list of topics.  Also, ballots and board candidate profiles can be found here and the proposed amendments to the Bylaws may be found here.

Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
