CLUB UPGRADES

This past month we continued stabilizing areas between and beside the lower and upper clay courts.  We have been making preparations for winter on the clay courts and fixing some on-court problems in preparation for next year.  Some locks were installed in the locker room and some repainting of the doors occurred.  The doors to the indoor courts now have automatic door closers to keep cold air out of the fitness side of the building.  And of course we have been decorating for the season!  We hope you enjoy the decorations!

On the LED upgrade/retrofit front, we have installed the new lighting in the men’s and women’s locker room in the clubhouse.  The rec room/racquetball area is our next and final phase of the project!  The lighting levels should be the same or greater than you are enjoying now! 

We have several projects in the pipeline.  We are finishing off Phase One of the hillside project and work on Phase Two hopefully by February.  There are several improvements to the indoor tennis arena planned plus the hanging of our league championship and State championship banners.  Some technology upgrades are also in the planning stages now for the fitness area. 

….thanks for being a part of the HRC family.  If you need anything or have any comments/questions, please don’t hesitate to ask any of our staff.  It’s a busy time at the club.  Be sure to take advantage of it!  Let’s all keep active and see you at the club!  Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,
Chris, Cindy and staff
