2019-08-24 18:00 - 20:00
All members are invited and encourage to attend. Even if you’ve never attended before, please come! You will have a chance to hear from the Board about the season and more. In what may be as fun as grilling steaks at the pool, you will have the opportunity to grill our Board of Directors about what they have been up to and learn about future plans. A complimentary light dinner will be served following the meeting for all who attend, and we will be showing a family movie on the lawn after dinner.

Shareholder Announcement
The annual meeting of the Holmes Run Acres Recreation Association (HRARA) shareholders will be held at the pool in the evening on Saturday, August 24, 2019. During this meeting the HRARA Board of Directors (BOD) will review their accomplishments within the last year, provide an update of the pool’s status, and outline future plans. At the conclusion of the meeting, a light dinner will be provided courtesy of the pool.
As is customary, elections for a new BOD will take place prior to the meeting. If anyone is interested in joining the BOD, please send an email, by August 2, 2019, to Jim Davey, the current HRARA Secretary, via secretary@holmesrunpool.org. Let him know of your interest and provide a brief biography.
Our BOD is composed of nine (9) to fifteen (15) volunteers serving two-year terms of office. Each Director typically takes a committee chair position, although there are some at-large members. The established committees consist of: Activities; Engineering; Finance; Landscaping; Membership; Operating; Planning; Publications; Swim Team. Board meetings are conducted the third Tuesday of every month. We will be sending out the ballot of nominees a few weeks before the August 24 meeting. I look forward to seeing you at the annual shareholders meeting. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards, Mark Sites President HRARA

Family Movie Night: Karate Kid
2019-08-03 20:30 - 23:00
In THE KARATE KID, after moving from New Jersey to a small apartment complex in Southern California with his single mom, Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) finds himself an outsider at his new suburban high school. The cool guys in school drive expensive convertibles and take karate so seriously that they’re more than happy to beat Daniel silly again and again. Daniel’s one pretty friend Ali (Elisabeth Shue) is unfortunately also the ex-girlfriend of Daniel’s chief bully, blackbelt-champion Johnny (William Zabka). Unable to adequately defend himself, Daniel turns to his apartment’s Okinawan super, Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), for help. Miyagi agrees to teach Daniel karate — but in his own, unique way. After some unorthodox training (waxing cars, sanding floors, painting fences, catching flies), Miyagi convinces Johnny’s aggressive karate instructor (Martin Kove) to make his pupils back off … until the next karate championship.

Family Movie Night: Ferdinand
2019-07-13 20:30 - 23:00
FERDINAND (John Cena) was born to be a fighting bull, bred to compete with matadors in the Spanish bullfighting ring. But he prefers flowers and friendship to training and fighting, which disgusts and mystifies many other bulls at the farm, including tough Valiente (Bobby Cannavale). When Ferdinand discovers the true fate of fighting bulls — death, not the glory promised by Ferdinand’s powerful father (Jeremy Sisto) — he makes a desperate bid for freedom and finds a happy home at the flower farm of Juan (Juanes) and his daughter, Nina (Lily Day). Life is beautiful on the farm until the fateful day Ferdinand is mistaken for a dangerous beast and forced into a matador battle. Can he escape without anyone getting hurt — especially him?
