DHARA Members,

This summer the pool took a huge leap forward to normalcy and summer fun! We reenergized through movie nights, kids nights, ice cream socials, holiday picnics, and swim and dive meets (Go Thunder Ducks)! We were also able to introduce new fun to the pool. The Quack Shack was a huge success and led to a national shortage of Choco Tacos. The first annual Luau was a smash hit, followed by another tremendous Oktoberfest dinner. Music rocked the pool. Parking lot lines and grimy walls were painted. Towel hooks adorned fences. Many of these ideas were introduced through member participation and volunteerism. While there are many ways to contribute to the pool, one great way to volunteer and effect change is to join the board!

If you are interested in getting more involved at DH and have a desire to help with the decision-making processes that enable the fun, safe, and memorable experiences to happen for our members, now is your chance.

The DHARA Nominating Committee is currently looking for candidates to stand for election as a member of the Board of Directors for the next 3 years. Any interested member should send their expression of interest with a photo and short biography to Dave Messman at dmessman@hotmail.com or Matt Bachrack at matt.bachrack@gmail.com no later than close of business December 17, 2022.

Expectations include:

• 3 years of service
• Attendance at all monthly board meetings
• Leadership of one committee and membership in another are minimum expectations, and time commitment to these committees
• Responsive to all membership inquiries and comments
• Understand the safety and financial implications of major decisions that impact the membership

The full membership will have the opportunity to vote for candidates in the new year, leading up to the Annual Membership Meeting on February 1, 2023.

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!
