WINSTON SALEM, NC Dear Meadowlands Resident, Please find enclosed a membership packet and application for the 2014 Meadowlands Swim and Tennis Club season. During the 2014 pool season, we will be under the new management of Aquatec, Inc. For more information on Aquatec, Inc., you can check out their web site at We are excited about this new pool management group and hope that you will be too. The Meadowlands Swim and Tennis Club is open only to residents of the Meadowlands and their guests. Prior to receiving your membership bands, you must be current on your Home Owners Association dues. In addition, Meadowlands residents are not allowed to come to the pool as a guest. Meadowlands residents must join the pool to attend the pool. There are four membership categories for the 2014 swim and tennis season. The first category is a family membership for the pool and tennis club, the required membership category for households with more than two people of any age. This membership includes privileges for up to two household adults and all household children. The second category is a two-person membership for the pool and tennis club, which includes privileges for households with two adult members. If you have more than two adults in your household then you will need to purchase an additional membership/guest pass. An adult household member is a person living in your house who is over 21 years of age and no longer in school. The third category is a single person membership. This is new this year. This membership includes privileges designed if the household has only one adult and no children. The fourth category is a tennis only membership. This membership includes privileges for the tennis courts only and includes all members of your household. We are offering a senior discount of 15% for members 60 years old and up. Please include a copy of your driver license if you are requesting this discount. This year we are offering the same prepaid concessions option that we did last year (see information on the back for a detailed description). We will still accept cash for concessions as well. There continues to be exciting progress with our swim team. The Rays Swim Team will again be competing in the High Point Swim League in the same manner as last year.

2 No more scrounging around for change so your kids can buy a ring pop, forget about being thirsty with no money to buy a drink, we will keep up with your concession money for you. What is it: This system is similar to what is currently used by the school system to pay for school lunches or what country club members use to make food purchases. How does it work: You may deposit $25.00 or more to cover your concession expenses for the summer by submitting it with your membership packet or giving it to a life guard. Each time you buy something from the concession stand, we will deduct the amount of money you owe from your account. When you run out of money, we will contact you and you can replenish your account. Other Details: Children will not be allowed to buy concession items unless the child s custodian allows them to make purchases. We will mark your account as child restricted or child approved depending on your preference when you submit your initial deposit. Each purchase must be signed for by the person making the purchase. Each person will be required to provide their family account number to make a purchase (number of house, street, and last name, for example 634Medinah-Sams). Balances will be provided upon request. Fine Print: If you have money remaining in your account after the pool has closed for the season, it will roll over to the next pool season. If you do not renew your pool membership, your concession balance will be refunded. If you owe money at the end of the pool season, you must pay your balance before you can renew your pool membership. Benefits of this system: No more cash to keep up with. Potential for theft is minimized. Better way to keep up with inventory. The pool makes more money. Questions, Concerns and Volunteers: Contact Melissa Sams at msams@samslegal.com. If you would like to assist in running the concessions for the pool please contact Melissa at the above listed address. Volunteers will not be expected to work at the concession stand.
