Good Evening Club Brittany Families,

With the pool closing tomorrow at 5P, I wanted to reach out to request help with the pool closing activities. The more people that are involved, the quicker things will go. Thank you for the help!

We purposely have not restocked on concessions items so that we will sell out tomorrow. Please help us meet this goal.

If you have any ideas for improving the pool, please complete the survey. There are only two questions, so it’s not very time consuming. There will be topic-specific surveys in the spring with more meat, but this one is purposely light and open-ended.

As mentioned in my previous email, we will be hosting Second Saturdays to work on various Club Brittany improvement projects. The first Second Saturday will be September 9th, but we are still surveying the facility and gathering information. We won’t have the work for a large number of volunteers this coming week but could use a few volunteers. If you would like to help throughout the off-season, please reply with any experience in construction or maintenance. In addition to general emails, we will reach out specifically when we have opportunities that fit your experience.

Thank you,
John Gallegos
Club Brittany President

Labor Day Weekend Update

Good Morning, Club Brittany Families!

As we approach the last weekend of the Season, I wanted to touch base on a few important items.

The Snack Bar will have a Fire Sale this weekend in an effort to get rid of inventory. Please come enjoy the snacks until they’re gone.

Monday at 5PM, the pool will be closed for the season. We’re looking for volunteers to help carry the cover down to the pool and carry items up to the shed. Please come down to help us make this important transition. If you are interested in joining work parties during the off-season, I’d love to see you Monday. It will be nice to meet those who are interested in helping improve Club Brittany!

If you have a family member who isn’t on this mailing list, but would like to be kept in the loop on exciting updates throughout the year, please send me their email address and we’ll loop them in.

One last thing, the 2024 Summer Registration is now live. Early registration will be open until September 30th. This registration enables members to make payments through the off-season. First Payment will be made during registration and additional payments will be monthly, starting October 5th. When registering, you would select the “Yourself” option.
Club Brittany will be rolling out a Friends & Family Promotion for the 2024 Season. If you have Friends or local Family who have never been members, talk them into joining and you will get a 2024 Concessions Card. When registering, there will be a box labeled New Member Code. They would simply enter your name in the box and we’ll reach out before the season starts. They must have never been members before and only one New Member Code per new membership.

Club Brittany will be running several new member promotions for 2024. Look for an announcement in September.

Note From The President

Good afternoon Club Brittany Families!

As I sit here, enjoying the pool, I wanted to send out a quick message to the membership. Unfortunately, quick messages are not my strong point. I’ll do my best, though.

First, I’d like to thank Chris, Will, and the other Club Brittany Board Members for the faith and trust that they’ve put in me to take on this position. I’m certain that next summer they will be happy that they did. Also, a big thanks to the Board Members who are staying on for 2024!

Next, I wanted to introduce myself. I grew up in Virginia Beach and graduated from Salem High School and VB Vo-Tech in 1994. I’ve been in the trades since I was in high school, first in electrical construction, then in Maintenance with VDOT for the last 22 years. I am currently the Maintenance Manager at the Hampton Road Bridge Tunnel. I’m sorry for all the traffic, we’re doing the best we can. The new tunnels should have been built 20 years ago. As Maintenance Manager, I have the Maintenance and Operations experience that makes me an ideal fit for this role.
I moved to Great Neck 20 years ago and have been enjoying the NEVB lifestyle since! Unfortunately, it’s only been in the last five years that I’ve learned about Club Brittany. We’ve been catching up on the fun, though!

As the new President, I have a lot of enthusiasm and ideas to improve Club Brittany, but I’ll need help. We’ll need feedback, we’ll need fundraising, and we’ll need volunteers.

For Feedback, I’ve created this short and simple survey as a means for members to provide anonymous feedback. If you’ve had an idea but didn’t know who to speak with or you were a little shy, this is for you: https://sxkyayap3zs.typeform.com/to/jo229qlW Thank you for the feedback and suggestions.

For Fundraising, keep your eyes on the Club Brittany Website and Facebook page. In the near future, we will add a Capital Campaign Fund page to the website. On the page, there will be a list of improvement projects, projected costs, and opportunities for families to donate to the general fund or specific projects. Families that fund specific projects will be recognized for their contributions, if desired. Additionally, during the offseason we will be announcing various other plans and programs to increase membership and fundraising. Some of these exciting plans will be announced as early as next week.

For Volunteering, we do have several vacant Board positions. As Chris mentioned, the Fundraising Board Member role is open and very much in need of an enthusiastic individual or team to take this on. As mentioned, I have a lot of ideas. Having a reliable team to work with will be great!

Also, the Maintenance Board Member role is open. Ian Reed has done a great job and I thank him for all that he has done over the years, but he is ready to focus his energy on other priorities. Luckily, he will still be a valued resource to us. As mentioned, I have a strong background in Maintenance and have already begun efforts that we will continue through the off-season. I will work closely with the new Maintenance Board Member so they’ll never be without help.
Please reply to this email if you have an interest in helping with either of these roles.

Many hands make light work, so we will have many opportunities to join a committee or to take on micro-tasks. Please reach out to me if you have an interest in helping in any way and also watch the website, Facebook, or your email for specific opportunities through-out the year.

Additionally, we will be starting Second Saturdays. The second Saturday of each month, we will ask for volunteers to come help at Club Brittany. We’ll have specific tasks planned and the necessary materials. The only thing missing will be you. As a reminder, emails will be sent out approx 10 days before the 2nd Saturday. Please consider coming to help!

Well, I think that covers everything, for now.
I’ll see you at the pool, before we close it down on Monday, September 4th.

John R. Gallegos Jr.
