CLUB UPGRADES
Moving into indoor season lot of our maintenance time has been spent getting the third indoor court ready, shutting down irrigation, getting outdoor courts ready for winter, cleaning up leaves, cleaning out gutters and similar items. However, we are mostly done with those, so it’s time for more improvements!
On the LED upgrade/retrofit front, we have installed the new lighting in the pro shop, maintenance room, clubhouse hallway, main room and kitchen. Next is the arena/fitness building, then the rest of the clubhouse. The lighting levels should be the same or greater than you are enjoying now!
Other projects this month are finishing up arena improvements (white backdrop securing, divider curtain, grinding and painting concreted areas), clearing clogged storm drains and starting some fitness room improvements.
….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. Enjoy the holiday season, keep active and see you at the club!
Sincerely,
Chris, Cindy and staff
