Communications from Colony Swim Club

Dear Colony Family,

The board has been notified about several items of US mail that were returned to sender due to a USPS issue:

“RETURN TO SENDER

VACANT

UNABLE TO FORWARD”

Some checks have been received and we are working with the post office to identify the cause of the issue and make sure that we are able to receive your checks going forward.  In the event that mail continues to be a challenge, please resend, keeping your check in the original envelope and we will honor the first post mark with respect to the late payment penalty deadline of March 15th.  Please note that April 15th is still an absolute, automatic termination deadline.

Please also remember to add “[email protected]” to your contacts such that you receive email campaigns from the club.

Sincerely,

Membership

Dear Colony Family,

Please add <[email protected]> to your contacts and update any spam filters to allow emails from this address as it was brought to our attention that the Membersplash email system does not have all of the same features as MailChimp for mail merge tags and the “from” or “reply to” address.

Thank you for your support in this matter.

Annual Membership Renewal is Open – Payments Are WORKING AGAIN

Hello Colony Family,

2-14-2025 Happy Valentine’s Day! PAYMENTS ARE WORKING AGAIN!

Thank you, we are doing a great job with renewals for 2025 using the Membersplash platform. We’re aware of an issue where the payments page is displaying blank or missing expected credit card and ACH payment fields.

The MemberSplash Support team is actively investigating and working to identify the underlying issue. We will provide an update here as soon as we have more information.

Thank you for your patience while we work on a resolution.

Please contact Adam Vincens at [email protected] if you have any additional questions or information on your experience.

Dear Colony Members

Dear Colony Members,

We are working hard to get ready for opening day! We have been working closely with the insurance company and our contractor to get the damage caused by the storm last year all fixed and ready to go for another great summer at Colony! Here are just a few of the things that we have been up to:

   – We have had the roof replaced and resealed

   – The storage shed has been rebuilt, with a new roof and new doors

   – The cinder blocks in the women’s restroom that were damaged have been removed and will be replaced by May 1st.

  – The sunshades that were lost in the storm will begin to be replaced starting the week of 4/15/24.

We are working hard and can’t wait for our Colony Family to be together again for a great 2024 season!!

– The Board of Directors

Colony Swim Club is a member-owned and operated swim club located in Canton, MI.

Annual Board of Directors Election

Colony Swim Club is managed by a 9-member Board of Directors. Any fully-vested member (i.e., a member who owns their membership bond) can run for the Board. This is a 3-year term. An interested candidate would be running to be a member of the Board and not for a specific role on the Board. Three board positions become available each year. Each position generally requires less than 10 hours per month, plus a monthly two-hour board meeting. The election is held annually in August and the new directors are announced at the Annual Membership Meeting, which is generally held on the third Wednesday of August.

2024 Election Information

The deadline for submitting a nomination is Wednesday, July 31, 2024.  

Interested individuals must:

  • Own their Membership Bond Certificate; generally, this means your membership number starts with 2020 or earlier

  • Sign-up on the Board Election list posted in the Clubhouse and/or email your interest to Julie Eschmann at [email protected]

  • Submit a short biography listing your background and qualifications to Julie Eschmann, [email protected], no later than 7/31/2024

If you would like more information or have questions, you may contact any current Board member (contact info available on the website). Also, please see the CSC Bylaws on our website for additional information on specific board duties and eligibility.
