I am very excited about the coming
season at Chartwell. Tad and his staff have spent a lot of time, and continue to do so, on planning quality activities and events for all members of the family.
From the 50th Anniversary activities to new, creative events to the tried and true we are hopeful that we will give you and your family plenty of reason to spend more time at Chartwell. Communicating these activities to the 700 families that make up Chartwell is both important and challenging. Aside from the Chartwell

Planner look to find out what is going on through email blasts, the Chartwell website and the weekly message…if you do not get regular emails from Chartwell please call the main office to confirm your email address.
The Strategic Planning process is well under way with the enterprise groups (golf, clubhouse, greens, tennis and pool) reporting into Mark Brugnoli (Chair – Strategic Planning) and his committee and the operating committees (membership, social, finance) providing support and input. As most of you are aware a very detailed strategic plan was developed in 2007 and 2008 by the BOD only to be shelved because of the economy and mother nature. With the economy starting to gain traction we are updating the strategic plan. We hope to have strategic planning reports

Traditions and History of Chartwell
It all began with one swing of a persimmon driver. Al Merritt had the honors that opening day in 1961. There was a cutting. Then with head pro Steve Tobash and Bill Dixon, who’d done the legal work, awaiting their turn, the developer and founder of Chartwell Golf and Country club hit the first ball. It was a little bit of a slice that started out down the left side. Al’s ten year old son Mel ran down the fairway to retrieve it. Mr. Merritt signed the ball and Mel has it to this day, with a little smudge of ink still visible. He also recalls that he didn’t have that far to run to shag the ball. His dad didn’t hit much of a drive but just being able to stand on the tee box that day was accomplishment enough.

Ceiling Fan Direction Spring / Summer The basic fact of nature is that warm air rises to the top and cold air settles on the bottom. Air settles in layers from warm at the top to cold at the bottom, if left alone at equilibrium. You should operate your fan so that it turns clockwise (this looks counterclockwise as you are looking up), causing a more directed downdraft, especially with the fan running slightly faster. However, the air is only moved, not cooled! You may find that you can open the window and get the cool evening air to save money on energy costs.
Change Refrigerator Water Filter Filters that don't efficiently remove contaminants and impurities may expose you to harmful water. Follow water filter instructions, as all water filters are different depending on model. Change the filter every 3–6 months depending on water condition and usage.
Clean Dryer Exhaust Lint in your dryer exhaust is a fire hazard; clean the exhaust annually. Loosen the clamp and pull the exhaust off the back of the dryer. Remove clumps of lint from the tubing and the hole in the back of the dryer, vacuum all the small lint then reattach exhaust. Also even though you cannot see it use hot soapy water and scrub the dryer filter it has an invisible film that you cannot see from the soap residues that restrict proper air flow. You can check this by putting water on the filter and see if it goes through the mesh if it does you are ready to go!
If you ever need any advice on maintenance issues you can email me at edorn@chartwellgcc.com
I look forward to seeing you at the club!

Group Use Policy 1. The Group Host should arrive 10 minutes prior to the event to discuss the Group Use Policy with the manager on duty.
2. The Group Host is given a copy of the pool rules. The Group Host must read the pool rules to the group prior to entering the water. This also applies to late arrivals.
3. The Group Host is responsible for presenting all nonswimmers to the manager for identification. The nonswimmers will not be allowed in the water unless they are accompanied in the water by a parent or guardian. Enforcement of this policy is the responsibility of the Group Host. 4. If the Group Host requests assistance in assessing an individual’s swimming ability, the pool manager along with the Group Host will conduct a swimmer assessment. The Group Host will maintain a swimmer assessment log. 5. The Group Host is responsible for assigning a dedicated parent/guardian watcher who will sit pool side in a straight back chair to monitor the group while they are in the water. There shall be 1 parent/guardian watcher for each 15 children. This does not eliminate the need to comply with #3 of the Group Use Policy. A Non-swimmer must be accompanied in the water by a parent or guardian at all times.
6. The Group Host is responsible for cleaning up the area where the group consumed food and beverages.
7. The Group Host must ensure that their group leaves the pool area at the end of their event.
