Fry's Spring Beach Club http://fsbc.net/ Welcome to the FSBC website! en Copyright 2008 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:07:56 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.2ysb5-20051201 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss FSBC Celebrates 87 Years In and Out of the Water! FSBC turns 87 this month!  Can you believe we've been swimming since 1921?  To celebrate this 87th birthday we are having a party this Saturday, June 14.  We will have regular hours of operation for members and their guests, but at noon we are inviting the public to see what makes FSBC so great.  The first two-hundred non-members have been invited to swim for ten cents, the same cost as it was when we opened in 1921.  While we have capped the number of non-members at 200, this does not apply to member guests.  Invite friends and neighbors to come, and their guest fees for the day are ten cents as well.

We will also have some other exciting activities to celebrate the birthday.  Local organic donuts from Carpe Donut will be on grounds.  Seize the donut!  As a special evening treat, from 5:00 until 8:00, big band Sentimental Journey will perform outside on the patio.  We hope to see you all here!  Rain Cancels!

 Fry's Spring Beach Club still offers numerous spaces that are perfect for dance events or other social occasions.  Please contact the General Manager if you would like to find out more.

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.
