Lubbock Community Conversations
During a vote taken the second week in April, Haversham members approved expenditures of up to $6,950 to drain the pool and repair crumbling plaster. As a result, Haversham Club is in a queue for pool plastering specialists who are expected to be in the area in mid May.
In the meantime, work is underway draining the pool and cleaning it. Specific timelines for opening the pool are difficult to establish, because of the fluid nature of plasterers’ schedules. Every effort is being made to have the pool open for Memorial Day.
Haversham Club officers completed review of the Bylaws Saturday, March 27, some 35 days prior to the annual meeting, which is scheduled for May 1. Members will be asked to approve or revise and approve the bylaws at the annual meeting. The bylaws review was necessary as the last step in renewing the club’s incorporation as a nonprofit organization.
Work on the bylaws began last summer. Bylaws as revised are available online to members who are logged in to the Haversham site. Feedback on the bylaws should be provided no later than the May 1 meeting.

Haversham Neighbors:
It’s time to close the pool, and the Haversham board has approved a proposal to purchase a cover that ties down –one like we used to have several years ago. Joe Elmore has agreed to do what needs to be done for sinking tie-bolts into the patio concrete.
The cost of the cover is about $1,200. Gary Blaiss says we have the funds to cover the cost.
The rationale for this expense is that for the last several years, the cover system we have been using simply does not work. West Texas winds simple wreak havoc with our cover. Bringing the pool back up again in May has required much time, work, and expense because the pool has been a mess.
An e-mail was sent to the members list Saturday, Sept. 26, asking for your vote. If you have not yet voted, please reply to that e-mail.
— Randy Reddick, Secretary
Dear Haversham Neighbors:
We have moved the Haversham Club Web site to a new server, and we are in the process of moving data files, scripts and all that geeky stuff into our new home. Our hope is to have a much simpler, smarter Web site for all when we are done.
I simply ask for your patience while we do the moving.
Thanks
