Hillsmere Residents-
Please attend HSIA’s General Membership Meeting tomorrow, 5/10 @ 7PM. Please note, the meeting has been moved from Katharine Hall to the BARN COMMONS at Key School. This is the same location that we host our annual Come And Get It Day, located off Carroll Drive (lower parking lot). Key School campus map found here.
The meeting will include a presentation of the new playground equipment proposed by the Beach Committee. The proposed new piece of equipment would be located in the enclosed sandy area near the large pavilion, next to the swings. A Mini Spacenet (link to product images & information here) will provide opportunities for children ages 2-12 to climb, balance and gather. The three-dimensional rope climbing challenherege provides development of strength and coordination with many safety protections. This Kompan product uses galvanized structural parts and steel core ropes for their unique designs. The cost for the Mini Spacenet, including delivery, installation, and additional sand, is $20,000. This expense has been part of a 2 year plan, and has been budgeted for this fiscal year. Playground equipment is expensive, but yields hours of enjoyment for our youth, as well as developing strength and critical balancing skills.
Please make an effort to attend the meeting, gather facts, and share your opinions. We want to hear from you! You may also contact Marilyn Carpenter, HSIA Board member & Beach Chair via email [email protected]
