2023 Graduation Banner

Leave a Comment

We are beginning to collect names for the neighborhood graduation banner congratulating those students who are graduating from high school or college this year. If there is someone you would like to include on the banner, please send me their name and school they are graduating from to piedmontbendsocial@gmail.com.

The deadline for providing names is Sunday, April 23rd.

The cost of the banner will be split among the participating families. Once I get our total number of graduates, I will coordinate the banner and contact each family with their portion. Payment will be needed before the banner is sent to print.  

Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Thank you,

2023 Pool Season Announcement

Leave a Comment

We are excited to announce the details of the 2023 pool season! Opening day will officially be Monday, May 1st through Monday, September 25th . The 2023 membership application is now a digital form! All members must complete the application, including returning members, to ensure that our membership database is up to date with current contact information and pool key card numbers. Membership Application for can be found here. (Dues payments are not to be made without an updated membership form and should not be placed in the guest fee box).

Membership options and dues are changing for the 2023 season. We are no longer offering swim or tennis only options for memberships and will have a flat rate fee that includes both swim and tennis. As per the state of our tennis courts, providing separate options for memberships (swim or tennis or both) has not allowed the budget to maintain the courts properly. A proposed major project for 2023 is for tennis court repairs and conversion to a multi-use court for the courts across the street. 

We have employed a new pool maintenance company for the 2023 season. Due to the increased cost of our new pool maintenance company, increased cost of pool chemicals, and inflation rate of overall general expenses, the dues will be $500 per membership*. 

2023 Membership Dues:
Swim & Tennis: $500

Social Membership**: $125 (limited to events only)

Notes Regarding Memberships:

*Memberships are per household only and cannot be shared.

**Social membership provides and limits the member the opportunity to participate in official social events and activities hosted by PBRA only and member does not receive a pool key card. 
Applications/payments submitted beginning June 1st will incur a $25 late fee and will not be accepted after June 30th or once membership cap is reached.
Pool key card are not active until payment is received.

Halloween is just around the corner! We will be having our annual Halloween event Monday, October
31st. The parking lot(s) will be used for trunk or treating and the area in front of the pool will be used for
our chili cook-off.

If you would like to compete in the chili cook-off, please sign up here. All chili should be at the pool by
5:30-5:45pm. If you do not want to participate in the cook-off, then you are welcome to sign up for a
side dish. PBRA will be providing hot dogs for the event.

The chili cook-off will start at 6pm and the trick or treating will start around 6:15-6:30pm.

Housekeeping Reminders:

  • Please clean up your area in the parking lot after truck or treating is complete.
  • Should all the parking spots fill up, please park on the street side across from the pool and don’t park on both sides of Chondra Drive, this is for the safety of everyone.
  • PBRA assumes NO responsibility for decisions made by its members and non-members who are trick or treating regarding potential COVID exposure, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
