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.
