Co-op Jobs

In order to keep things at the PG Pool running smoothly, every membership is required to either pay a co-op fee or to fulfill five (5) co-op hours. To fulfill the co-op hour obligation members may choose to commit to a seasonal job (listed below); work a few hours at a time at any number of scheduled workdays or scheduled events; or recruit new memberships.

Members are reminded to keep track of their hours by noting them in the membership book located at the front desk. When the co-op hours are completed, members can obtain their co-op fee by requesting a refund by filling out an index card at the front desk with your name, postal address and email address. A refund will not be made without a request in writing.

Choosing to work a Seasonal Co-op Job requires ongoing attention to a specific task over the entire pool season. It is a job that is based on the task rather than number of hours. Each and every one of the jobs is essential to the smooth operation of the pool, so we ask that you strongly consider signing up for one the following. We also ask that any family committing to a Seasonal Co-op Job please be sure to see the job through to the end of the pool season. Should the board discover that the duty is not being fulfilled appropriately, co-op hours may not be granted.

Adopt a Grill: The grills are a fundamental part of most families at the pool. With so many families using the grills on a regular basis, surely there are several who will be willing to commit to keeping them reasonably clean and useable.

Mowers: Another extremely important task that needs commitment from start to finish. If FOUR families claimed this for the summer, they could coordinate and keep the grass at manageable length.

Recycling: Emptying and properly disposing the recycling container's contents at least twice a week. This requires taking the bag of recycling to your house and putting it out on your recycling pick up day. It will require coordinating with at least 3 families or more.

Lost and Found Coordinator: Several families will coordinate sorting out lost and found items frequently and hanging wet towels to dry. Getting rid of stuff at least twice (mid season and post labor day) by either having a sale at the pool or donating everything. Frequently remind members to check the lost and found and give warnings before they get rid of everything.

Fridge and Microwaves: A couple of families can share the weekly job of completely cleaning out the fridge. Wiping down the microwaves should be done once or twice a week.

Kitchen: Requires cleaning and organizing the kitchen once a week. Making sure the floor is swept and the sink area does not get cluttered.

Supplies shopper: Several families will coordinate to check the stock of general supplies at the pool and make trips to the store to purchase supplies needed (Costs are reimbursed by the pool.)

Food Committee Members: Work with the Events Committee to plan and execute Saturday night food sales when entertainment is planned.

Sandbox Maintainer: A great job for a family who spends a lot of time supervising the sandbox activities anyway. Involves removing inappropriate items from the sandbox and generally keeping it a nice, safe place for children to play.

Office and Book organizer: Responsible for keeping the office bookshelf neat and organized. Includes sweeping the floor once a week.

Flower Bed and Garden Coordinator: Organizing garden sites and oversee flowerbeds as well as watering the grass and flowers on a regular basis.

Fourth of July Festivities Coordinator: The fourth of July is big event at PG Pool, and involves coordinating activities and getting volunteers to pitch in.

Bulletin Board Maintainers: Updating and maintaining our three bulletin boards.

Plumbing: As needed

Electrical Work: As needed
