Greetings! | 
Welcome to the first edition of our club email newsletter!
Our goal is to begin sharing news and upcoming events with you throughout the summer and encourage you to be more involved in our community at the club. If our recent sunny and warm weather is any indication, we should have a great summer ahead! Please encourage your friends and neighbors to join us at the club. For every family you get to join, you get a month of free dues! See below for more information on new membership specials running now through the end of May. |

Pre-Summer Membership Drive |
 We are running a membership special through the end of May. Tell your friends and neighbors the initiation fee is reduced from $375 to $250, but they must join by the end of May to save the $125. Monthly dues are $92 for families, $63 for singles, and $46 for seniors.
The club will host an open house on Saturday, April 28th at 1-5 pm for anyone who would like to try out the club before they join. Those who join that day will pay only a $175 initiation fee (an additional $75 savings that day only). Also, guests will be able to enter a drawing for a free initiation fee during the open house.
Free one-week guest passes are also available right now. Print and share the coupon at the bottom of this newsletter if your friends can't make it to the open house.
Or forward this email newsletter to your friends and encourage them to come to the club to try it out! |

What Is Your Role As A Member? |
Did you know that as members of the NHSTC w e are also the owners?
In 1958, the developer of the original homes in Newport Hills had the wonderful foresight to build our original swim club -- including our first pool, wading pool, clubhouse and playground. How lucky we are to have this gathering place today that continues to bring our families and community together for healthy pursuits!
It was established as a non-profit, membership-only community club to serve and be managed by its members. In 1965, the members took over full ownership of the club and the land. Your membership today means you are a part owner. We are the owners of NHSTC.
Throughout the history of our club, it has been our responsibility to care for and manage our club and we still do that today. We elect a member-only board of trustees to lead the club and our dues pay for the operation and upkeep of the club. Many members also contribute their time to help with the swim team, the facilities improvements, gardening, and so on. And we could use a lot more help!
Over the years, we have made many improvements to the property to better serve our membership. Our most recent addition was the beautiful new building with banquet room and workout room. That was a smart investment. The banquet room rental brings in a lot of extra income for the club.
In 2008, the board presented plans for an even brighter future. These plans, which would be staged over time, include indoor tennis courts, a new clubhouse and locker rooms on the hillside, and a new pool deck. Those plans are on hold right now until we are able to gain the funding. But anything is possible for our future!
Today we are at a crossroads. Over the past couple of years, our membership numbers have dropped due to the economy, competing clubs, and other factors. We need to bring in 70 more member families before July to avoid another assessment. It's important that we all talk about the club with our friends and neighbors and encourage them to join.
We all need to share the vision and desire for this club to be all it can be for our community now and into the future. Are you ready to help?
As owners, we all need to be stewards and champions of our club for our current and future success. Thank you!

What's New | 
Coffee anyone? Have you seen our new coffee and hot chocolate machine next to the sauna? Try your favorite flavored latte, a straight cup-a-joe or treat your kids to some hot chocolate! Only $1.00.
Check out our newly remodeled sauna! And we would like to thank Paul Clifford, Mark Budos, Michael Styer and Kyle Nelson for volunteering their time and helping with the construction of the sauna.
ADA Improvements: The club purchased a lift for those who need help getting in and out of the pools and hot tub. Please let the guards know if you need to use the lift.
Special thanks to Holly Beale for painting the beautiful Sharks mural on the front of our clubhouse late last summer. Holly also recently updated artwork for our club logo. |

Volunteers Needed | 
We are looking for volunteers to help us on the following three committees. To join a committee, please contact the committee chair.
Facilities Committee
We have heard from the membership about things that need to be better maintained and/or improved at the club. Members with expertise in plumbing, electrical, construction, etc. are especially encouraged to get involved. The committee's focus will be to develop a plan to prioritize and implement improvements to the club buildings and grounds. Contact Greg Simmons at facilitycommittee@nhstc.com
The first project all members can take part in is the spring clean up scheduled for April 21 from 10am-2pm.
Membership Committee
If you would like to help the club grow its membership, we could use your help. People with marketing, sales, or design experience are especially needed. Our first meeting was April 5 and we implemented this newsletter. We will meet again soon in preparation for our open house scheduled for April 28 from 1-5 pm. We also need help canvassing new neighbors, reaching out to adjacent neighborhoods, and promoting the club online. Please contact Michael Margolis at membercommittee@nhstc.com
Social Events Committee
Wouldn't it be great to have more fun events happening at the club? We need a chairperson or co-chairs and committee members to organize a few fun events this summer. Make it as easy as you want!
We've heard lots of ideas. Maybe a wine and cheese party? A poker night? A teen night with games on wheels? A designated "family night" during the summer when people bring their own dinner and visit with other families? A swim safety day? And many other great ideas.
We hope to start by planning a simple summer kickoff party for the members after the bubble comes off on Saturday 5/19.
Contact Martha Bailey if you are interested at eventscommittee@nhstc.com
Other ways you can get involved:
- Help us tidy up the outdoor spaces on Spring Clean-up day this Saturday.
- Share your ideas or expertise with our board or management.
- Suggest and champion new activities at the club.
- Extend your summer membership to a year-round membership.
- Make a donation gift to the club.
or find another way to help that is of interest to you!
So, please, take a little time this summer to get involved. It will make you feel good!
