February 2012 Club Manager's Corner
As I mentioned in the January Newsletter the Board of Directors approved the removal and replacement of the Poolside entrance arbor. The Board also asked that I extend the arbor to the end of the office windows on the south side of the building to offer more shade to the offices during the hot summer months. The demo was completed during the week of January 9th and we are now starting the replacement side of things. I would like to thank Chuck Corona, Pete Callaghan, Evan Fields, Steve Sanchez and Mike Borg for all of their hard work and volunteering their time helping me with the demo and the first section of replacement. I would like to mention now that once we are finished with installing all of the new lumber I will not prime and paint it right away. I made this mistake with the new fire pit arbor as I didn’t allow the wood to completely dry out before painting it. By not allowing the wood to fully dry it kept bleeding through the new paint forcing Pete and I to re-sand and re-paint it again later that year.
As a reminder to those young adults in our neighborhood who are looking for a 2012 Spring/Summer part-time job, Rancho will be accepting applications for 2012 Office Aides (14 yrs and older) and Lifeguards (16 yrs and older) during the month of February. For the 2012 season we will have 5 Office Aid openings and 3 Lifeguards openings for those who are 16 yrs old or older. If you are applying for a Lifeguard position you must have your Lifeguard card and CPR/AED card completed by April 7th.
Applications for all new and returning staff must be received no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday, February 28th 2012. Interviews will be conducted over the weekend of March 10th & 11th. There will be no other dates offered for the interviews. If you are interested in working here at Rancho you must keep that weekend open for your interview. Applicants will receive their interview date & time by Friday, March 2nd. Interview times will be during each afternoon for the weekend of March 10th/11th. For those new Office Aids selected it will be mandatory to attend and pass the CPR/AED class that will be held on Saturday, March 24th here at the Club Lounge from 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon unless you already posses a valid CPR card. Applications can be picked up in the Club Office or downloaded from our web site. Finally, all new and returning Staff must attend ‘Orientation Day’ on Saturday, March 31st from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM. This is a mandatory training day.
The Club will officially open on Monday, April 9th as this week is ‘Spring Break’ week for the local schools. The main pool and wading pools will be open from 12:00 noon to 7:00 PM. Starting Monday, April 15th the Club will be open every weekend Saturday & Sundays only until Memorial Day weekend at which time we will be open full time 7 days a week for the summer. Saturday & Sunday hours will be from 12:00 noon to 7:00 PM weather permitting. Please note we will not be open on Fridays during the months of April, May and September.
As a reminder the Club Office hours are from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Mon - Fri until the end of May. The Adult pool and Spa will continue to be open daily until 10:00 PM. However we want to remind everyone that the Adult and Spa Pools are for adults over the age of 17. We would appreciate for those adults who use the pool facilities to cover them after using to contain the energy cost. If you have lost or forgotten the gate code you will need to stop by the Club Office to get the new gate code.
