THANK YOU - Closing the Pool

Normally, we have 20-30 volunteers to cover the pool making it a relatively simple and short task. This year, only 8 showed up to help and 4 of them were Fishers.

Thank you Mike Peterson, Sean Fisher, Anna Fisher, Zita Fisher, Vicki Lemay, Laurel Garrelts, Steve Fisher, and Chris Born for wrestling the cover into place.

THANK YOU to all the volunteers that helped with this year’s Craft Show.

Thank you to all of you who donated food, baked goods, raffle items, money. Thank you to all who came and supported our vendors. It was a successful event bringing in roughly $4,000. It takes a village to pull it off and Edgehill is the best village ever!!

Thank you IRMA CANE for running the Food Drive.

Thank you to everyone who brought donations. The food donations completely filled Irma’s SUV. The monetary donations were $1,400.

Everyone is a Volunteer

Members are volunteers – your membership is voluntary and contributes to the upkeep of the clubhouse, grounds around the clubhouse and at the Edgehill entrance on York Warwick, and the pool. Thank you for joining!

Nothing gets done without volunteers - Volunteers maintain Edgehill property – every hour that is volunteered is saving the association a minimum of $12.41/hour (Virginia minimum wage in 2025). We try to do everything using volunteers to make the most of the Edgehill donation and membership dollars.

If you have a special skill or want to volunteer, please let us know at edgehillonline@gmail.com. We regularly need consultants to help us make the best use of our money for skilled repairs and maintenance.

THANK YOU – AC MASTERS for donating two complete HVAC systems to our clubhouse. This is a HUGE donation and very much appreciated. If you see Javier Aguirre or his family around the neighborhood or in the community, be sure to share your thanks to them! If you need an HVAC company (that has expanded to include electricians) – consider AC Masters.
