July 4th Policy Changes – Please Read
Everyone wants the same thing on the 4th – an amazingly good time with family and friends- celebrating, having fun but also being safe. The crowds have been next level on the 4th the past couple of years and this year we will follow the rules we started last year.
- There will be no guests permitted on the 4th of July – with so many members it is our goal to ensure all members have a great time and we really don’t have room for guests.
- The 4th is a Friday so the gate will go up at 10:30 a.m. NO ONE will be permitted in prior to 10:30 a.m. That being said, a line normally starts forming around 9:30 a.m. –
- We ask members to please only take one table. If you have one in the pavilion, do not take one on the deck.
- There will be a 4th of July Tennis Tourney that starts at 9:00 a.m. If you are playing in the tourney, plan accordingly for someone else in your group to get your area.
- The past couple of years we have allowed members to set up the night before the 4th starting at 4:00 p.m. out in the lawn. The area between the pool and the tennis courts and the grassy areas closest to the volleyball courts is tent city. You are welcome to do that again this year.
- Activities will start at 12:30 p.m. with kids games out on the front lawn and end with our very own fireworks display. I will put the schedule of events on the next page.
- In order to do kids games, prizes, and our own fireworks display – we run the Devon Raffle every year. You may buy your tickets through credit/debit card or Apple Pay at the front desk.
- No rafts, inner tubes or floats of any kind except noodles. The pool is just to crowded on this day to have those big floats. Please plan accordingly and get your noodles!!
- Devon will be taking 15 minute safety breaks at 1p, 3p, 5p and 7p. When the guards blow their whistles at the top of each of those 4 hours we will ask that everyone clears the pool for 15 minutes. This will enable the guards a short break as well as for them to treat the pool.
- No full face masks or snorkels
- The pool WILL close at 9:00 p.m. Please pack up your goodies, clean your area up, take everything to your cars and then come back in and get a seat for the fireworks. The fireworks will start as soon as it is dark enough – and when they end, you will be ready to head out!
Please adhere to the new policies as well as the all the other rules we enforce everyday.
