Welcome to Summer 2017!!

Newsletter April 2017 Poland Swim Club, Inc. * PO Box 5127 * Poland, OH 44514 * www.polandswimclub.com Welcome to Summer 2017!! President s Message Fun times are on the way and summer will be here before you know it! Last year was a nice beginning to my being president. There were a few speed bumps along the way but nothing that we couldn t handle. Thank you to Joe Graziano, Agi Khoury, and Mary Kushner for their service to our club. Chip Ferradino is also leaving from our grounds crew. We wish them all well. We re adding a few new faces to our board this year. Debbie Kempers will be our Vice President of Personnel. Noelle Matiste is taking on the Treasurer position. Todd Henderson is coming onto our Aquatics team. You may have noticed that our landscape was transformed last year. A custom built swing set, shade area by the kiddie pool, and landscaping around the fence area were nice upgrades. We also purchased additional chairs and umbrellas for the grounds. We will continue to make additional improvements as needed. It s also going to be a lot brighter on the tennis courts this year! We invested in a new set of lights to assist in nighttime tennis play. It s going to be an exciting summer for us. If you haven t heard Poland is hosting this year s YSL Championship meet. This is a huge event for our club as it will be our primary fundraiser. That being said it s going to be all hands on deck! We re going to need plenty of help. More information will be coming out but mark your calendars for July 29th. We have some fun social events planned for the summer. Friday Night Lights, S mores Galore, Movie Night, and Camp Out will take place. We also plan to have a few adult only nights. Keep an eye out on the email blasts with more info. We had a successful 2016 swim and tennis season. We encourage anyone who is interested to come out and sign up. Registration is in April. Hope to see you there! The swim club is happy to announce the sale of a parcel of land for $25,000. It puts us in better financial position to maintain our club for everyone's enjoyment. Let s all come together as a community to show how great our Poland Swim Club is. It is an asset to Poland to have such a nice place at such a great value. The YSL Championship will be our shining moment. We have very dedicated and active members that promise to continue this tradition of excellence. I ll see you all poolside soon!
