As part of the continuing maintenance of the pool we had the cabana re-roofed.  Additionally, emergency repairs to the fence were required.   

The Board of Directors will be hiring three pool monitors for the 2005 season.  The minimum age monitors will be 18 and the three monitors will split approximately 53 hours per week.  The pay will probably be $7--$8 per hour.  You can pick up an application at the management office on Tezel or you can download a copy from the GPOA website (gpoa.org).         Applications can be either turned into the management office or emailed to the office.  The email address for applications will be board@gpoa.org or mpotex@swbell.net. 

    The GPOA Community Center will be available for the May 7th San Antonio Special Elections.   Election day voting hours will be 7 a.m.--7 p.m.  District 6 is the south side of New Guilbeau Road.
