MEMBERSHIP

Did you know that we are a member-owed Pool? That’s right: Lakemont Swim & Tennis is yourClub. And your volunteer Pool Board keeps it running each and every year. Each Board volunteer is elected to a 2 year term and keeps busy scheduling fun events for social, pool and tennis, putting out a weekly newsletter, ensuring bills get paid, and generally keeping the pool looking good and staying safe. And we need YOU! Please consider serving on the Board as something every member should try at least once: the more members we have representing our interests, the better the pool will be If you are curious, please contact the Membership Chair, Jennifer Brock to find out how you can be a part of the behind the scenes excitement! All are welcome and no experience is required

Trivia: Have you noticed that beautiful pair of raptors soaring above our pool this summer? Some find their screeching a bit unnerving, but it is hard to deny these hawks are incredible. Well, being a bit of a geek/nerd, I could not resist trying to identify them. It appears that our guests might just be a pair of Cooper’s Hawks and the screeching is them calling out to each other about food delivery. They also make other sounds you might find familiar, and a great site to listen can be found at: Cornell’s Ornithology Page. Also interesting, they eat other birds (i.e. mourning doves) and the male, who is much smaller, builds the nests and does much of the “domestic” work.
