Changing the alcohol consumption policies may impact costs to operate the pool (e.g., insurance, staffing).  What impact, if any, on dues because of a change in our alcohol policy would be acceptable to you?

  • No impact on dues is acceptable to me
  • A reasonable increase to dues is acceptable to me
  • A significant increase to dues is acceptable to me
  • N/A – I don’t believe alcohol should be allowed at the pool
