What's going on in GMP this October?

Cards @ the Clubhouse: 10/2 or 10/3, 7p.

Feedback from GMP's first (annual) Oktoberfest was fabulous! Let's safely get another adult-night on the calendar while fall weather is so pleasant. This makes it easiest to spread out and enjoy the patio.. and patio heaters! When? Majority wins! Which night works best for YOU to join us Friday, Oct. 2nd or Saturday, Oct. 3rd? We'll supply the cards. Please bring your own snack, beverage or cigar for a night of Poker, Rummi, Spoons, Go Fish.. or just friendly chatting!

Thanks for providing feedback, GMP! The below details are a result of community feedback.

Due to continued precautions to minimize the spread of COVID19, the Greene Mill Preserve HOA kinds asks your family to respond with how they will participate in this year's Halloween celebration. The annual "Pizza Party" prior to trick-or-treating is a widely attended event, and will have many updates this year including starting earlier and having the ability to pre-purchase individual pizza(s)!

As far as trick-or-treating, GMP respectfully asks for increased parental supervision to keep it fun and safe for all our children. Please enforce the following with your family:

• Trick-or-Treat hours of 6p - 8p

• Be mindful of social distancing and stay in small groups

• Widely encourage a costume that INCLUDES a mask

• ONLY approach houses that have front porch lights ON and/or tables set-up in front of the house

Pool Closure for 2020 Season

GMP Neighbors,

After input from community members over the past few days as well as clarification of what the operational situation may be for the community pool 2020 season, the HOA Board voted unanimously to close the pool.

The financial issues including an additional $6500 a month in costs for cleaning and staff to be compliant with phase 3 guidelines were a large consideration and knowing reserves can not be leveraged for daily pool operations, the reality is that if we were ready today, the earliest the pool could open is July 15th. We still need the pool to pass inspection and show that we are phase three compliant. That timeline in combination with the limited number of individuals in the pool, ability to hire additional staff to clean and separately provide capacity management with health screenings (does not fall under pool company’s contract), and certainty that we could be open the remainder of the season, led to the board’s vote.

We know this may be disappointing to some, please know that it was a difficult decision and one that we do not take lightly.

The unspent operating funds will be rolled into next years pool operations as we may likely need to incur similar expenses and we are efforting to avoid passing those to the community members through increased monthly fees.

Thank you,

GMP Board Members
