OLD BUSINESS
Membership Renewal The status of membership renewals was discussed. Items addressed included:

• We passed the health department inspection.
• The online registration is in process.  Diana Rode has been sending e-mails to Bay Ridge Residents with information including validation codes.
• 45 families have signed up from Annapolis Cove.  We need to contact about 25 families that joined last year and haven’t joined next.
• Fliers will be delivered to all residents of Bay Ridge and Annapolis Cove with registration instructions.   It will inform people to go to the website, or register at the pool on opening day.    One side of the flier will be a paper application, the other side will describe how to join via online.  There will be different forms for AC and Bay Ridge.   To pay by check attach a check made out to “BRPA” if they are dropped off at the pool.   To pay by check online the checks get made out differently.  Grahame will send the application to Doug.   Doug will coordinate the flier distribution in Bay Ridge and Bruce Reiter will coordinate the distribution in Annapolis Cove.
• The online system is supposed to generate a “paid” list, but we haven’t gotten it yet.  We need one table that we can manage.  The data is gathered by separate fields.  Grahame will follow-up.
• For next year there will be a sign saying “Bay Ridge Pool Registration – send an e-mail to get your registration forms”
• People can drop off checks with a paper form on opening day in the gate guard room.
• The sign –up was confusing for AC, the drop down says something about charter membership vs. charter.  It should be updated to have a choice for Annapolis Cove.
• We need a sign in the front entrance.
• We need to check that people who sign up as charter members really have a charter membership.

OPENING DAY

• Opening day party is from 5:30-10pm
• The guard desk at the entrance will have a sign in sheet.  The guard will ask “Have you registered yet?”  If not, there will be a form to get the contact information.     The guard will allow the person to swim for the day & a board member will follow up.
• The guards should check the paid list before they give a paid 2008 sticker.
• Party – Bruce Reiter will bring speakers.
• Menu – 3-4 cases beer;  $250 food (100 burger, 100 hot dogs)
