More fun with Paint!
John and his team have started work re-painting the lines in the parking lot. This should greatly increase our ability to pack in cars during hot summer days and Thunder Duck swim and dive meets!

The board appreciates all the suggestions submitted to the Idea Portal to date.  Please know that while we have not been able to respond to each idea individually, the board does review them on a regular basis to determine which ones can be addressed immediately vs. those to be considered in the context of the pool’s long-term planning process.  Additionally, we will try to answer frequently asked questions to provide any helpful background as it may pertain to specific suggestions or ideas.

Thanks For a Great Memorial Day!!

WOW!!  What a fantastic Memorial Day at DH ! I’ve never felt a vibe like that at DH before, it was amazing! Check a few pics and videos!

We want YOUR ideas!!

Hello Fellow Members!
Over the past few years, we’ve been happy to bring new ideas to fruition at the pool. We now have a snack bar, and wireless, started a new annual Oktoberfest event, and are working on replacing some of our old signage.

All of these ideas came directly from the membership, and we want to hear more from you!

Check out the new idea portal we just put up for you to submit ideas to the board. We’ll collect them and review them on an ongoing, regular basis. As we consider both long- and near-term planning, your ideas will help us as we plan for the future.

Thanks in advance and see you at the pool!!

Opening day and more!!

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/

DHARA 66th Annual Membership Meeting – Feb 2, 2022: 7pm

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!
