| Membership Fee Reminder If you have not paid your first half of your membership dues, they are now late. A late fee may apply. Please make sure to quickly take care of this; please reach out if you have any trouble. The remaining balance of $300 for the annual dues will be due prior to June 1, 2024. Also, for members with outstanding balances from 2023, settling those fees is necessary before key card activation. Discover the ease of accessing our ROSRC PAYPAL account with the QR code provided on our website. You can explore more information about payment options by visiting our website under the payments tab. ——– As a friendly reminder, during the April 2023 general membership meeting, the amendment to the by-law concerning the timing of the workday assessment/credit was voted on and approved. Accordingly, the $50 workday assessment will now be paid by all members with the 1st installment of the annual dues each year. Members have the opportunity to receive a $50 credit upon completion of an approved workday activity. Important: The fulfillment of the $50 is due on your first installment, no exceptions. Towards the end of 2024, we will be handling the workday credits for those who request a refund. In addition, it was communicated during the October general membership meeting that annual dues will be increasing from $550 to $600 in 2024 to address rising costs. With these changes, your first payment of $350 (comprising half of the annual dues, $300, plus the $50 workday assessment) is due by March 1st. This payment can be made via check or through our club’s PayPal account on the website. Please note that PayPal may assess a small fee. Thank you to everyone who has already submitted payment.

| Membership It is tax refund time! Here is a suggestion for a great way to invest a tax refund. If you know of any friends or neighbors who may be interested in joining our community, please let me know. We pay a referral fee of $100 to members for each household that joins. Or, you can authorize me to credit that fee to the new member to reduce their initial costs. I can be reached at [email protected]. Ann Porter ROSRC Membership |
| Membership Wristbands As we work to align our processes in partnership with our new pool company, we are implementing a wristband identification system. This is common practice for large pool facilities like ours and will enable both our members and lifeguards to easily identify who is authorized to be in the pool area. This helps us improve security and reduce liability and will also reduce the need for paid gate monitors. More details will be communicated as we get closer to pool opening, but here is an overview of the program: -Members 6 years of age and older will be issued a numbered silicone wristband to be worn on the member’s person and easily seen at all times within the fenced pool area (5 and under do not require wristbands) -Members can pick up their bands at the pavilion during specified times staring May 1st -Enforcement of bands will begin the first day of lifeguards on May 22nd and remain in effect throughout the end of the pool season -Guests will be provided a one-time use band that is valid for one day. Sets of guest bands can be purchased in advance from designated board members or purchased the day of the guest visit from lifeguards during “adult swim” time. -Pavilion party non-member guests will also be provided a one-time use band for those events |
| Tennis We have the following ALTA tennis teams at ROSRC Spring (seasons have already started) -Saturday Men -Sunday Women -Senior Day Women Summer -Senior Women -Senior Men: The requirements are 45+, ALTA membership, and at least some playing experience.
