Volunteers needed for VGCA pool prep on Sun, May 31st

On Sunday, May 31st we will begin the process of preparing our pool in order to be inspected and possibly opened this season. If we can’t get the volunteers we need, then the VGCA will re-evaluate the need/desire to open the pool for the season. Please come out and help us get the pool ready.

The first shift will start around 9:30am, as I have had some interest from two families to start early and we can always use more volunteers. I will provide updates via Facebook around noon so others know where we stand.

What’s not done by the morning volunteers will need to be done in the afternoon beginning around 2pm. We will need the deck cleared so we can remove the covers at 4pm.

For removing the pool covers at 4pm, I will need 7-10 people to assist. If you have experience removing the covers from years ago, I could use some advice/guidance.

We need volunteers to help with these tasks:

• Use weed-eaters around the outside and inside of the pool fence.
• Trim bushes and small trees around pool area.
• Blow, rake, and bag leaves from outside and inside the pool deck.
• Set up the lifeguard stands.
• Remove all furniture from the lifeguard shack and stack out of the way.
• Remove baby pool cover.
• Remove main pool cover.
• Use pool leaf skimmer to remove debris from the water.

Remember to practice social distancing and consider wearing a mask.

THANK YOU!
