Pool - Our pool committee spends many hours behind the scenes to keep it safe, sanitary and functional. Right now, we really need some help with someone to volunteer to vacuum the pool early on Friday Mornings. If you are interested, please signup or contact Dave Zweifel at 321-203-2966 to give us a hand. You would be helping the youth program to keep running smooth as well as keeping our pool clean.

Recycling - Welcome back everyone! How nice is it to be back in our camp even if it is only mostly open??!! Let’s hope we never see another year from hell like we did last year. Like everything else the recycling program took a hit but survived because you made it survive. Thank you so much! We mean that.
We have been working on recouping and revamping the program and this is where it’s at. There are still the two large recycling dumpsters, one in the large parking lot the other directly behind the Rathskeller. There is a small can in the drink/ food area at the pool also. At the Rathskeller, inside there are 3 blue cans clearly marked with the recycling logo and with a lid on them that will only accept cans and bottles. There are the same outside the Raths, just not with blue cans. This is still a work in progress and will continue to improve and evolve and the year goes on. Thanks for your help with this. Building and Grounds
Pool Tags - There will be no pool tags this year, and the pool will be restricted to members and their immediate family.

Auxiliary card party - July 17th at the Dining Hall, 7:30 P.M. Tickets are $2. Due to the close down, there was no Card Party last year. We hope that you will participate with donations and attendance this year. Funds are necessary for the upkeep of the building. The house is also available for rental at $50. Thanks, Ann
Pool Memorial Fundraiser - A BIG thank you to all who supported the Memorial Weekend fundraiser for our Pool. We raised $1,604.30. Of course, we couldn’t have done it without volunteer help in the kitchen and bar. Thank you, all volunteers. See you next year same time, same place!! Babie Zweifel
Turner Ladies - We are hoping to begin using the Ladies Clubhouse again. It is a beautiful, old building that has not seen much use in the past years. It is our hope to have it open for game days starting Tuesday, June 22nd from 10:00 AM until? Bring your own group and game or come alone and join in with others. Everyone is welcome. Come once or every week as it suits your schedule. We are suggesting a voluntary donation of $3.00 for each visit to help defray the cost of utilities, with any surplus being donated to the Clubhouse at the end of the season. Water and wine will be available for purchase. Wine $3 per glass and $1 for bottled water. Cash only, we will not be excepting any Turner coupons. If you have any questions contact Bev Hussar, Ann Litza o Barbie Zweifel
