THE STROKES NEWSLETTERVolume 2013 : Issue 1 : Lindmoor Woods Swim & Tennis Club

Editor: Laura Neely, Communications Chair

Welcome to Swim Season 2013! We have lots of news and information for you. Please enjoy our firstnewsletter of the summer.

Letter from the Board President, Suzie Kezh

Thank you for choosing to join the best swim and tennis association around. People just like you got together back in 1968 and dreamed of a 5 acre sanctuaryin the center of a community where the families could come together andcelebrate their common ideals. They also anticipated all the essential diversitythat a village contains. In 1969, our pool formed its own legal entity.

Fast forward 44 years: LWSTC has nearly 200 families, 5 acres, a space for familygarden, playground, tennis courts and a very nice pool.

All this is because of you – the membership. Welcome and thank you.

Swim Team News

The Tiger Sharks have gotten off to a great start. The kids competed in theirfirst meet on the Tuesday after Memorial Day and in addition to a team win, wehad numerous swimmers with improved times. Be sure and check out the bulletinboard, where our "Swimmers of the Week" are highlighted. These swimmers have

demonstrated both an outstanding effort and great sportsmanship. The goal of our swim team is to "cultivate acaring community for our swimmers" and we appreciate the support that all members give to the team.

We have a wonderful coaching staff, led by Beth Lewis.Assisting her this year is Tyler Young, Joel Medford,Maggie Konouck and Perry Kezh. It is especiallyimpressive that all of our assistants have beenparticipating in swim team since they were smallchildren!

Our meets are on Tuesday afternoons, through the endof June. Our two remaining home meets are on June 11& 18. While the actual pool is closed for the meet, wewould love to have folks come out and support theswimmers, even if you don't have a child swimming inthe meet. It is a great way to get to know other peopleat the pool and support the swim team - you can evenpurchase dinner from our concessions!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact any member of the Swim Team Committee,Lynn Holden, Karen Medford, Gwynn Rodemsky and Marie Bosler.

From the "Grounds Guy"

Hello everyone, just a quick update from the Grounds Guy.With all the rain we have been having things are growingrapidly. Our new landscape management company is doing aGREAT job in keeping things under control, notice the kudzu. We have also renewed our contract with the Bug Guy and hewill make sure we are all ant and yellow jacket free. Withthat said, if you do notice anything that needs addressingplease feel free to email me and I will get it taken care of.Look for some major sodding to be done on the south side ofthe pool. I will do my best to make sure the impact toenjoyment is minimal, but please do work with me in stayingoff the new sod as long it is marked so.

We are currently in the process of getting quotes for repairs needed to the grounds and the tennis courts due tothe car accident on Sunday, May 26th. We are working closely with law enforcement and our insurance companyto get this entire incident resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone for all their support and I look forward to a great summer. See you at the pool. ~SandersGreen

A Note from Suzie

We are only a great club if we all watch out for the club and each member. If you see something unsafe, like abroken chair or even a car in the tennis court, please report it to the proper Board member. We encourage youto use email, telephone, or even approach one of the board members at the pool. We had a member (shout outto Jeff Arthur) thwart a car break-in the other night at the pool parking lot! If something is extremely dangerousor life-threatening, you have authority to call 911.

My parents had a simple rule and I hope we can follow it: “if you get it out, put it up”. I also would add “if yousee it out, put it up”. All the great items that the pool purchases are only great if we keep them intact andsafe. If each of us picks up only one item per club visit, our pool will stay clean and beautiful. If we all watchout for each other – adults and kids alike – our pool will be more of the family that we seek.

Respect yourself; Respect the property; Respect each other. We are very much like a family. Each of usdeserves respect and kindness. We are all similar, as we all have joined a common group. However, we comefrom many backgrounds and we bring that wonderful spice of differences. Let us be kind and and respectful toone another.

ENJOY THE SUMMER!
