Golf Times
Come enjoy a round of golf with your friends at the Applewood Knolls Gold Tournament! This is an old tradition that has been revived due to our need for more outdoor time and more Coors Light time! Plus golf is Covid friendly!
The scramble tournament is Saturday September 19, 2020. The details are in the amazing poster below. Yes it’s small. I’m trying to figure out why. Computers are hard. You can contact Megan Chapman to register. (mmchapman1@gmail.com)
All are welcome – members and member wannabees. So tell your friends!
All-Club Board Meeting And Elections – You’re Invited!
Read moreMost AK board meetings are usually not too interesting. Lots of math, complaining and drinking with an occasional story about an embarrassing zoom meeting with the guy from work.But the August meeting is where the magic happens! Here’s why! 
That’s right. We’d love you to come. This is your club and we want you to understand what it takes to keep it amazing. Seating will be under the cabana and is pretty informal. For the past 12 years, we have enforced a 6-foot social distancing rule. However, we have done so to keep the black eyes and head slaps to a minimum. This year will be no exception.
Please bring drinks. You will not be allowed to stay if you are not keeping up with the board – shot for shot. (kidding. sorta)
Every year, we summarize the details of how it all happened and discuss what worked and what did not. The summer of 2020 has been like no other and the efforts we have undertaken to make it all come together have been nothing short of miraculous. This year’s presentation will include a 20 minute multi-media musical history of the club and an interpretive dance representing what it means to be a member in the time of Covid. (Totally kidding – just the idea of that made me laugh).
Seriously, this will be a unscripted overview of the year with some behind-the-scenes details on how it all came together. We will cover operations, finances and membership. The three horsemen of the swim club apocalypse.
Our by-laws require that each board member serve a 3-year term. So each year, several board members cycle off and you can nominate your wife or neighbor or your neighbor’s wife to a board seat. Meaning, if you want to join the board, this is your shot. We hold elections right after nominations and that’s it! One night, one vote.
Note that on election night, winning candidates are elected to the board – but not to a board position. So you don’t need to decide what position you want to hold just yet. The newly elected board will meet in October to elect key positions – like President, Bartender, DJ, etc.. Very “Robert’s Rule” of us 🙂
You’ve read this far, so you must still be interested. Or, you have finished Netflix and need to get out of the house before you start watching CSPAN. Either way, here are the meeting details.
Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2020
Location: Applewood Knolls Swim and Tennis Club
Time: 6:00 – DoneIf you have any questions about how this is going to work – click here to drop us an email and we can explain.
Be the Monkey, not the Ass
Read moreYou may recall a previous post regarding how challenging this time can be.
It reminds everyone to take a brief breath and be good to each other and “be the monkey”.You can find that post here…..Be the Monkey
Because our lives continue to be impacted by the virus in ways we did not expect, it appears we need to make some things clear.
As an American you have a right not to wear a mask.
But, just like you, businesses have a right to not let you in – not to serve you.
You can’t have it both ways….You are free to make a choice, but that means accepting the consequences of your actions.
Screaming at a 15-year-old lifeguard or other employees for protecting their co-workers and other members does not make you a patriot….it makes you an asshole.
Don’t mistake inconveniences for oppression. And don’t mistake your membership for a right. Those who choose to treat our employees and other members in a way unbecoming of our club will find their membership terminated.
________
Effective immediately, masks are required upon entry and exit of the club.
If you have an issue with this policy, please address it with the club leadership directly rather than passive-aggressively addressing it with a pool employee who has yet to get their driver’s license. Our club president, Mike Zarlengo, can be reached here.
Please help us make this a safe place for all.
Thank you.
July is Here!

Lot’s of things going on in our favorite middle-summer month. Hopefully you can squeeze some pool time in between soccer tournaments, 4th of July Parades and overseas vacations! (clearly a cut and paste from last year’s email).
Ice Cream!
The High Point Creamery ice cream truck will be parked at the pool starting at 2pm on Monday July 13th. This is legit ice cream and the milkshakes will definitely bring all the boys and girls to the yard. So don’t miss out.Food and Rum and A Few Friends – TWICE!
We are going to hold our annual Rum Party with a few health-focused modiications. To make sure everyone enjoys – we will hold it twice! The events will be on Thursday July 16th and Saturday August 29th from 5:30p-8:30pm. Food will be on-site via a Mike’s 2 Kitchen!How do you get in? Normal reservation system on a first come first serve. You are welcome to fill your table to 6, but everyone needs to be a member. Please keep it to 6 people only!(PS – Rum, despite false twitter suggestions, does not kill any viruses, but it may end your marriage)Adult Tennis
A quick reminder that the adult tennis league is on Wednesday nights at 6. Swing by for more info. (A quick reminder that adult tennis is tennis for adults, not nude tennis. If I get one more question about this….)…And More!
More food trucks, Covid Testing using tequila and a sharp stick, plus face masks made from unused graduation gowns …..all coming up in July. Keep an eye on the calendar for details!
The Latest and Greatest
Read moreJust like the weather or my hair color, things keep on changing for the better at AK! Here are a few of the improvements we are making to ensure both a safe and fun-filled summer!
Reservations and Hours
Jeffco has updated the rules regarding maximum number of swimmers. So we are now allowing more reservations to be made! Same rules apply, just more families are allowed!
Additionally, we asked for your inputs regarding the pool hours. You’re thoughts were very helpful and we appreciate the conversations. Listed below are the updated time blocks!
11:00am – 1:30 pm
2:00pm – 5:00 pm
5:30 pm – 8:30pmFWIW we ignored the requests for the pool to be open 24 hours due to the needs of the lizard people that live in the pump room.
Pool Amenities
To maximize the entertainment and exhaustion value of the pool the following changes have been made:
- Diving board is now open – Each diver must demonstrate ability to look foolish when diving before being allowed full use of board.
- Bottle filler is now operational – Need to cut that morning Vodka and OJ? Water filler is back. Still just water. Vodka dispenser is on back order.
- Pool toys and stuff are AOK – You can now use your floaty, floater, floati or float if you’d like.
Programs
- Masters swim will begin on Monday. See the website for details.
- Swim Team will begin on Monday. See website for details.
- Swim lessons will not begin yet. See website for no additional details.
- Tennis League (Monday / Wed) will begin June 15th. You know who to talk to about details.
