Notice: As of 10am on Saturday, FSBC is still without power and has fallen live electrical wires on the grounds due to Thursday's storm. As a result, it is not safe for anyone to swim or enter through the gate. This is critical for everyone's safety. We are checking-in with Dominion Power constantly to try to resolve the situation.

FSBC partners with CERT for clean-up efforts
Fry's Spring Beach Club needs your help this coming weekend! This weekend, the Charlottesville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be starting off a project to help clean-up and clear downed trees on our 4 acres of undeveloped property. CERT will be contributing volunteers and supplies, but it is crucial that we also provide volunteers and supplies to make this effort a success.
Charlottesville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
CERT is a group of local volunteers aimed at providing support for local emergency and clean-up efforts. These volunteers offer support in coordination with emergency personnel and provide leadership in training and emergency preparedness education.
The Fry's Spring Beach Club clean-up project will serve as training and practice sessions for CERT while also offering them the opportunity to recruit new members. Over the period of the project, they expect local firefighters and forestry workers to participate in the efforts.
This is your opportunity to come out and help Fry's Spring Beach Club and the Fry's Spring community. Your volunteer efforts will help this valuable greenspace to survive and continue to be available for the entire community. Ultimately, this clean-up effort will lead to a woodchipped walking trail that connects Old Lynchburg Road, Jefferson Park Circle, and the main Fry's Spring Beach Club parking lot. This will allow everyone to enjoy the spring and creek, while providing a safe path to and from Fry's Spring Beach Club.
CERT will be starting at 9AM on Saturday, March 8. Volunteers should be prepared with good shoes/boots and bring food and water. Any equipment that you can contribute to the volunteer efforts (ie. trimmers, bush hog, chipper, chainsaw, gloves, safety glasses) will be most appreciated.
The CERT leader for the day will be David Booth.

Clean-up Projects: Saturday/Sunday, March 31-April 1
In preparation for the Summer 2007 Fry's Spring Beach Club season, the Board of Directors and General Manager are organizing weekend clean-up projects for the last weekend of March and all weekends in April. If you are interested, we welcome your participation and contributions in any way you are able. We hope to get the club in shape to make this a truly memorable season that will bring new meaning to the club.
If you are unable to participate in the clean-up day efforts, but would still like to assist in getting the club in shape, please consider making a contribution to the Building Restoration Fund.

We are currently working to make significant repairs and improvements to the clubhouse to increase the quality of everyone's experience, but we are often faced with problems that we simply cannot afford given membership dues income. Extra contributions through the Building Restoration Fund will allow these repairs and improvements to be made and will allow the clubhouse to become an much more meaningful part of each and every membership.

Cristina Webster joins FSBC as General Manager
Experience and enthusiasm will benefit club
FSBC Members,
We are very excited and pleased to announce the hiring of Cristina Webster to the position of General Manager. Cristina's appointment follows the resignation of Greg Hussar who has brought so much to this position over the last six years. Cristina is coming to us following a long and successful tenure at Duner's restaurant.
Cristina impressed the board with her knowledge of how to balance the overall vision and branding of what FSBC is against the expectation of 100% customer satisfaction. We feel the membership will also be impressed with her ability to communicate the reality of FSBC's rich history and related future to the Charlottesville community. We are very happy that she has chosen to partner with us as we move forward to a very bright future."
- Ed Gillaspie, President.
Greeting from Cristina
"I am delighted to be a part of a community that promotes connection and well-being. I look forward to serving as a resource for the members of FSBC. I am sure that many long and cherished memories have been created at the club and that we will make plenty more. We are going to have a great 2007. See you all soon."
- Cristina Webster, General Manager.
