1 2 CLUB NEWS MANAGERS’ MINUTE… With Mike Kenneally & Paul Butto Welcome to Summer 2015 at BTSC! Are you ready for some sun and fun?! We had to suffer through another frigid and snowy winter, and now we have started to do our spring cleaning. We hope that the weather cooperates, as we need to clean and prep the pool for a fresh coat of paint. The clay for the tennis courts has been delivered, so we can also start working in that area. We are also excited that Jacci Weaver will teach Water Aerobics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Cocca's Pizza will return for another delicious season in the Snack Shack! We will continue our Pepsi vs. Coke beverage machines, and look forward to the many awesome events on the social calendar! These events were very successful last year, and the members who attended really enjoyed themselves. We are looking forward to more fun again this season. In addition to repainting the pool, we will be working on a change to the sand volleyball area. We would appreciate a better effort from all members with regard to trash being picked up around the grounds and Snack Shack areas. Garbage cans are well placed, and an improved effort to get trash and recyclables to their designated area will help to keep BTSC looking good!

Also, most of our high school guards will be returning; however, we are sorry to say that our college guards have moved on to internships and jobs in the real world. They will be greatly missed. We are currently waiting to hear back from prospective college guards to fill these vacancies. Please take some time to review the rules of the Club to assure that you, your children, and your guests are aware of the expectations for the pool, courts, and grounds while enjoying your time at BTSC. We would like to remind parents that are interested in having their kids participate on the swim and tennis teams that all paper work and fees MUST be taken care of before a child will be allowed to practice or compete. We encourage you to check the white board as you enter the office, as well as the tennis and swim boards, for important information that will keep you updated. Also, please make sure that your annual dues is paid and sent to the P.O. Box BEFORE Opening Day on Saturday, May 23rd, as this will ensure a smooth start to Summer 2015.
