Jeff Fasceski updated members that the advertiser’s list is almost finalized; the book will head to the printers in the next few weeks. Volunteers are needed to help with distribution

The domains and the email for the CAWSV president remain at GoDaddy and will cost @$80/year.
Bob will start a gallery showing some of the things going on with the Rolling Road widening. At the moment, the utilities are being moved.

Reminded neighbors to always have a watchful eye and to greet visitors to promote an active, safe neighborhood.

The current phase of moving poles, utilities and electricity will continue into Fall 2024
Trees will continue to come down, stumps will be grinded and power loss should be short and limited to only the houses where there is work
VDOT will reach out and directly contact houses to notify when power loss is expected

Membership increased significantly last year and hoping to continue this trend into this summer
A new cover was purchased last year to protect the pool surface during the winter months, will be used each winter for future years
Next major project goals are to refurbish the pool (new coping stones, tile, and plaster coat), pay off the pool mortgage, and to repave the parking lot
Plans to continue the very fun and busy Friday night grill dinners in June and July and the Early morning lap swim time
Looking for a new company to continue to provide Water Aerobics and Water Yoga. The previous company has gone out of business
Currently offering volunteers $15/hour to help with pool support, earned money will go towards reducing pool membership fees
