The DH Board of Directors Want to
Hear From You
The DH Board of Directors is asking all members and Summer renters to participate in a brief online survey seeking feedback about everything you enjoy about DH, as well as what you think needs improvement. Your constructive comments are needed to help the Board make important decisions regarding enhancements to the facility, improve operating procedures, and establish future plans. The results of the survey will be reported at the DHARA Annual Meeting in February 2009.
The survey consists of seven areas of inquiry and takes just a few minutes to complete. Your name and e-mail address is requested but not required. The information you provide will be used only for the purposes stated and will otherwise remain private.
The first four inquiries ask about you, the type of Membership you hold, the number of years you have been a Member and how long you plan on remaining a Member, and your participation in DH sponsored programs. The last three inquiries allow you to input comments and suggestions in your own words and in as much detail as you wish. When you click the final "submit" button at the end, you can choose to return to this page.
If you know of a Member who does not have access to the Internet but would like to complete the survey, please have them contact the DH Secretary, Brice Henderson at 703-533-0231 to request a printed copy.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate. [Participate in the survey now...]
Dear DHARA Members:
Arlington County and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have dramatically increased the recommended amount of time a pool should remain closed following a fecal or vomit incident. To comply with the Arlington County recommendation and ensure our water is clean and safe for swimming, Dominion Hills has increased its closure time to a maximum of 12 hours, from the previous six, after such an incident.
Our first line of defense against any such mishap is you, the parents. Pool rules require that children who are not potty-trained must wear swim diapers covered by tight-fitting plastic pants.
The board has voted to enact a $25 fine beginning July 1 for members whose children (or guest children) are not properly dressed. The parent must immediately dress the children in plastic pants (which can be purchased for $5 at the DHARA front desk) or the child must leave the pool.
Parents should also take common-sense measures to help prevent accidents. Check your child’s diaper often – at least every half-hour – and take young children to the bathroom frequently. Do not allow them to swim immediately after a large meal, and keep a close watch on them.
We want to do everything we can to avoid pool closures and enable a safe and happy summer for all members. If you have questions or comments about this new policy, you can email the board at info@dominionhills.org or come to the next board meeting on Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 in the Community House. We welcome your input.
Sincerely,
The DHARA Board
