Sign up now for the 18th annual Crab Night starting July 4th

  • Double Rib Eye Steak from Karen Chew's Red Velvet Caterers
          (http://redvelvetcaterers.com)

Or surf and turf

  • Add a single Rib Eye to your crabs for $8.00

Bring your own beverages, but remember NO GLASS!.  This means no glass containers, glass cups, or glass plates are permitted at the WRA.

Tickets are required, must be purchased in advance and are strictly limited at 125.  (We do this so we can fit in the snackbar in case of rain.)   No tickets are sold at the door.

  • Crabs served after 7PM.
  • No-food late admission tickets admit others at 9:00 PM.

 Tickets go on sale July 4th!

This is a "rain-or-shine" event.  While we can all fit in the snack bar and pavillion, it would be better to spread out even in wet weather.  If you would like to loan the club a canopy tent for the evening,  please email Leon Roomberg: lroomberg@yahoo.com.

 

 <== What we're looking for.

 

       None of these ===>

 

 

We are looking for women to play on the Woodcrest Women's Softball Team.  If you have any experience playing softball and are over 25 years of age, please contact Dawn Stern at 489-9069.  Games are held on Tuesday and Thursday nights from June 21 through the first week of August.

 

WRA's "Adopt-a-Block"
Membership Recruiting Campaign
!

What an amazing, involved, and caring membership we have.  Members have stepped forward and volunteered to deliver flyers to 84% of the streets in Woodcrest.  THANKS TO ALL!

Streets Reserved


Our thanks to all
the
Adopt-a-Block
first responders:


Once again, the WRA Membership Committee would rather pay our members than pay for postage for the 2011 marketing campaign.  Here is how Adopt-a-Block works:

1. Volunteer by emailing Leon Roomberg (lroomberg@yahoo.com) your name, email, and phone. Send your email TODAY!

2. Leon Roomberg (or an assistant) will drop off the name of your assigned street name and a bundle of flyers for you to deliver.  (Feel free to "draft" spouses and offspring.)

3. Deliver flyers to all the blocks bearing that street name twice in May and once in June.  

4. For strolling through the neighborhood, (which is something you should do for your health anyway,) you will be paid a $50 referral fee for every resulting new member.

Serious note:  Don't look at this just as an optional "fun" activity. Look at this as a call for help from the membership committee asking for your involvement.  To help us keep a lid on dues and make this summer a success, THIS is what we need from you.  So please email Leon Roomberg (LRoomberg@yahoo.com) right now.

 

YOU EARN MONEY
AND STAY IN SHAPE

Email Leon Roomberg (LRoomberg@yahoo.com) right now.

TOGETHER, WE PREVENT AN INCREASE IN DUES TO PAY FOR MARKETING

Email Leon Roomberg (LRoomberg@yahoo.com)  right now.

 

MORE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS
WILL HAVE A FUN SUMMER AT
THE WRA

Email Leon Roomberg (LRoomberg@yahoo.com) right now.

Attention sticklers for grammar:  We know that technically speaking, you are "adopting all the blocks bearing as street name," but "Adopt-a-Block" just sounds snazzier than "Adopt-a-Street-Name."  So there.

2011 Will Be Our Best Summer Ever!

Dear members,

  • WRA board members and other volunteers have worked through the winter to make the best club even better. 
  • The winter snows have nourished the lawn which promises to be even softer and greener than last year.
  • Mike DiStefano and committee are hard at work organizing this season’s staff.
  •    
  • We have a brand-new snack bar vendor who is looking forward to impressing us with experience gained operating restaurants for many years. 
  • We continue to pay down the mortgage on the large pool, with our final payoff scheduled for October of 2014.

In addition to details on swimming, tennis, ping pong, nok hockey, horse shoes, basketball, women's softball, volleyball, gas-grilling, swimming and general relaxing, check the web site www.WoodcrestSwimClub.org for updates and details on all our upcoming activities.

*       Four movie nights

*       Five pep rallies

*       Fourth of July celebration

*       Crab Night!

*       Candy Bar Bingo

*       Overnight Campout

If ANY of your family email addresses have changed, please be sure to send your updated email addresses to leon@roomberg.com to receive monthly email updates during the spring and weekly updates during the summer.

Last year's membership campaign delivered better-than-anticipated results and this year we want to do even better.  We will continue to pay referral fees to members instead of paying for expensive newspaper advertisements.  Details will be posted on the web site in April.  A WRA brochure has been included with the annual mailing.  Please think of giving it to a neighbor whose family could enjoy the WRA along with yours.  More brochures can be requested at any time with an email to leon@roomberg.com.

Please send in your dues by the deadline.  This is important because your prompt payment is what enables us to schedule staff and budget for maintenance improvements prior to opening day.

See you at the club!

  Another wonderful summer is on the way for the best family "staycation" in Cherry Hill.

UPDATE - February 14th, 2011

Read on for news about Lifeguard Positions, Snackbar Vendor opening, and our new swim team coaches!

 

 

 

 



   

 

  

WELCOME OUR NEW SWIM TEAM COACHES!

 

As some of you may have heard, we hired new swim coaches for the 2011 White Sharks swim season.  During December & January, we interviewed many impressive candidates.  It  is our belief that we have selected the best two people for our team.

 

Both our Head Coach, Joe Zobel, and his assistant Kimberly McDonald, are committed to making the team better, and more importantly, making the summer swim experience fun for all of our swimmers, from  our  8 & unders through our Seniors. 

 

We are planning to have a "coaches' meet & greet" the swimmers & parents, in the form of a weekend bowling party, sometime this Spring.  We do not yet have a definite date, however it is looking like the end of March or beginning of April.

 

Feel free to email Marc Raiken at vp@woodcrestswimclub.org with any questions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

September 22nd:  Officers Elected to serve for 2011 season:

Hello WRA families!

On Monday evening, September 21st, 2011, the new WRA board met to start planning for the summer of 2010.  The board reelected Jim Thompson as President, Marc Raiken as Vice President, and John Doyle as Treasurer.  Greg Young was elected Secretary.

The people now serving you on the board are:

Dave Wynne
Frank Rossetti
Frank Segrest
Greg Young

Janet O'Neill
Jim Thompson
John Doyle
Leon Roomberg

Lisa Iacono
Marc Raiken
Paul Armstrong
Steve Merch

 

 

 

Mortgage Progress:

Despite all of the challenges of the last few years, we are now half way through paying off the mortgage on the large pool.  Our last monthly payment of $6,700 will be in October of 2014.  Woohoo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TENNIS KEYS

Tennis Season at the WRA stretches from April 15th through December 1st.   It is now time for interested members to purchase keys that provide access to the courts during the off-season.  Members who purchase a key have access to the courts from Labor Day until December 1st (when the nets are taken down and court maintenance is done) and also have access from the Tennis Re-Opening day of April 15th right on through the season.  

For members in good standing, the purchase of a tennis key entitles off-season use of the courts for three years.  That means that a key purchased now will be good until May of 2013. (What a bargain!)  The cost of tennis keys are $30 (or $25 if you are turning in an old key.)  Mind you, that is not $30 a year.  That is $30 for three years!

 

 

 

UPCOMING BOARD MEETINGS

At the WRA, any bondholder can attend any board meeting. (We actually encourage this so we can convince you to join one or more of the committees that you find most interesting.)   The meetings start at 7:30 PM at the WRA.  If you wish for the board to discuss a particular topic, just mail Jim Thompson at president@woodcrestswimclub.org two weeks in advance and he will add your topic to the published agenda.  The dates for every board meeting for the next year are now posted on the web site's right side column.

 

 

 

BOND REFUNDS

We had projected signing about a dozen new families this season.  Instead, our "Adopt-a-Block" campaign helped increase our total to twenty-four new families joining the WRA.  In addition to bringing friendship and energy to the community, this means that this year we will be refunding at least twenty four families on the list awaiting bond refunds.  The list will be published in the months to come and we will issue a batch of bond-refund checks at that time.  (Anyone calling or emailing with questions about the bond refund process will be directed to the information posted on the WRA web site. See the link from the main menu for details.)

 

 

 

MISSING EMAILS

WE ARE MISSING EMAILS!  At the all-members-meeting in September, we had several people complaining that they do not receive the WRA news letters (monthly in the winter and weekly in the summer).  So how can we find out who we are missing?  As a public service, please consider posting the following message on your Facebook board:  

"Anyone NOT receiving the Woodcrest Recreation Association Email Newsletter who WANTS to sign up, please fill out the signup page on http://woodcrestswimclub.org/contactus.html."
