Specifically, posting annual reports on the committee website pages for all members to review. The following reports are now posted for member review.

July 4th Festivities
In an attempt to return to BC (Before Covid), Dollar Point will be hosting a smaller 4th of July carnival. There will not be any food or drinks served and no bounce house either, but plenty of other festivities. Please see the attached flyer below for the event schedule. We look forward to seeing all the happy members!
Pool Opening
We’re excited to announce that the Dollar Point Pool will be opening on Monday, May 24, 2021! From May 24th-28th, the pool will be open 9am-5pm, lap swim reservations only with a capacity limit of 14 people. Reservations can be made up to 48 hours in advance, starting on May 22nd, by emailing info@dollarpoint.org or by using the pool reservation form on the website. Your reservation is considered confirmed ONCE YOU RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL – NOT WHEN YOU SEND THE EMAIL. Each reservation has a 10 minute grace period before the reservation is considered canceled. A valid Dollar Point ID must be shown to enter the pool.
Beginning on Saturday, May 29, 2021, the pool hours will change to 7am-7pm with a capacity limit of 63 people until June 15th (California’s opening date). From 7am-11am the pool will be available for lap swim reservations. 11am-5pm the pool will open up for free swim with one lane kept in for walk-in lap swimmers. 5pm-7pm two lanes will be available for lap swim reservations while the rest of the pool remains free swim.
Please note that capacity limits or other pool rules may change to comply with California’s guidelines.
Dollar Point ID Cards
A reminder before Memorial weekend that one person in a group will need a valid Dollar Point ID card in order to enter the facilities. Members and family members described in the rules and listed by the member on the family listing may obtain an ID card. If you appear without your Dollar Point ID card, entry will not be permitted. Dollar Point ID cards issued in previous years are still valid, you will not need to replace them.
Any individual who plans on using the facilities by themselves will need their own ID card. There is no need for a family member to have an ID card if they will not be using the facilities. ID cards are created in the office at the pool, every person who wants a card made will need to bring valid proof of identity.
If you need an ID card or need to update your family member listing, please call the office 530-583-4487 or email info@dollarpoint.org
