Seeking Volunteers


Seeking Country Lane Social/Pool Committee Volunteers

Due to the lack of a 2016 Pool season there was no transition from the outgoing Social/Pool Committee to a new committee.  Consequently, there was no formal committee for the 2017 Pool Season.  Thankfully, Diana and Barry Allison stepped up to conduct the 2017 Pool Events with help from some Board members.  Going into 2018 the Board would like to once again have a Social/Pool Committee of ten to twelve committed volunteers.  To facilitate soliciting residents to participate on the Social/Pool Committee we are providing the following description of their duties.  Aside from the Chairperson, the duties are limited and don’t require an inordinate amount of time.  The following lists of duties should help you understand what we are looking for in committee members and a chairperson:
