​Dear Ocean Shores Community Club Members,

We are nearing summer’s end and how sweet our summer has been. Our weather has been and continues to be nearly perfect. Our facilities and parks are regularly enjoyed by members and their guests.

All three swimming pools are being enjoyed. We can thank Jill, our lifeguard manager and her team. Their commitment and flexibility to their daily work schedules is commendable. Hundreds of families are sharing wonderful summer experiences and creating memories to revisit during the cold winter stormy weather.

Ocean Shores Community Club has more thanks to share today. Mr. Duane Conitz, a visiting member, tuned our café piano for free. Within moments, several talented musicians created even more beautiful music for all to enjoy.

 

Family Friendly

Ocean Shores Community Club facilities and parks are wonderful places for families to enjoy a plethora of activities. Our pools, sport courts, game room and disc golf are just a few of the many recreational activities that families can enjoy.

There are several areas, for safety reasons, where participant age is a factor. For example, our hot tub and pool rules require swimmers between the ages of 13-17 to swim with a buddy of the same age or older.

Sauna users are required to be at least 16 years of age.

Our newly renovated fitness room is for members 18 years or older. Fitness room waivers can be obtained for individuals of the age 16 or 17 years. Members are encouraged to review club rules for family members and guests. Rules are posted on our website, in the monthly paper and in our club.

​

Club Updates

Our Annual Picnic is on the horizon. The OSCC team is hard at work preparing for the auspicious event on Saturday, August 29, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Reservations can be made through the end of day on Saturday, August 15. We have over 600 members scheduled to attend. With our Slow Jam Group providing tunes and our Paint-In Group providing an art walk, this year’s event will be even more enjoyable for members and guests. Members and their guests are strongly encouraged to carpool whenever possible.

Two new propane tanks will be installed by Ferrell Gas on Monday, August 24. To ensure the safety of all, OSCC will close the day of the installation.

 

Open Board Meeting Time Change

The Open Board Meeting scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 29 will begin an hour earlier at 10:15 a.m.

Beginning in September, all Open Board Meetings will begin at 11:15 a.m.

 

Request to all our Weightlifters

Since our renovation, our fitness room is more fully utilized. Members have asked me to request all weight lifters to restack the weights once they complete the lift. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation regarding this request. 

 

Pool Updates

Summer daily swim and play will be shortened at the end of August. Our youth return to school the week of August 24th.  Due to a reduction of swimmers as well as many of our guards returning to school, we will officially close Ken Peterson Park Pool on August 23. Our Cabana Park Pool will remain open daily through Labor Day, September 7.

 

Reminder

On Labor Day, our facilities and pools will close at 5 p.m. allowing our team members to enjoy an end of summer celebration with family and friends.

 

Closing Thought

Each season brings great challenges and great joys, but mostly joys. Seeing families and members of all ages enjoy the pools and parks brings energy and happiness to all those they engage. It is heart-warming. However, the moments are fleeting, and we enter the next season and look to new moments of warmth and gladness.

Enjoy the rest of the summer days!
