IN MEMORY OF KEN ROSCOE

We're saddened to share that longtime member and friend Ken Roscoe passed away in April. Ken was a true part of the Willy's family and loved by all. He will be deeply missed. We'll share information about services as soon as we have them.

AS THE CLUB TURNS...

We were all set to open the outdoor courts- the crew had finished resurfacing Wednesday evening, and we planned to roll and open them Thursday morning.

But...the keys were missing.

We'd given them to the install team, and when we went to start rolling at 7:00AM Thursday- no keys. Not in the normal spot, not on the tractor, not in anyone's pocket! We searched everywhere. We even walked the back 4 acre field, thinking maybe it fell during mowing.

Finally, around 2:30PM- the keys turned up.

We got the courts rolled just in time- and even had a member come test the bounce. (thumbs up).

Then, Friday morning at 6:00am- rain.

More delays. More shuffling. But we got the courts open for a noon reservation!

Just another week in the life of running a club. Because if you're not chasing keys through a field, are you even doing it right?

A chilling Tale from the Poolside: The Mystery of the Emergency Exit Door It was the winter of 2020 when we crafted a cozy, enclosed space in front of the pool - our noble attempt to shield swimmers from the icy blasts in the winter and the heat in the summer every time the emergency exit door swung open. A warm sanctuary was born, keeping the pool inviting and toasty, even in the coldest months and cool in the hottest. But alas, a peculiar phenomenon emerged! Instead of taking the usual route through the front door some folks- neither swimmers nor polar bears- began sneaking out the pool's emergency exit, unleashing a frosty gust into the once-warm waters. Was it the allure of the forbidden door? A shortcut that whispered "just this once...?" We must now remind our dear friend's: the pool's emergency exit is just that- for emergencies only. Each time it's used improperly, the chill creeps back in, undoing the warm haven we've worked so hard to maintain. So, let's leave the door alone and keep the pool area cozy for everyone- unless, of course, you'd like to star in the next chilling episode of As The Club Turns!
