There will be a Shadow Brook Board Meeting on May 11, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.  As with all our meetings during the pandemic, it will be a ‘Zoom” meeting online.

Board Meetings are meetings that are held about 10 times a year.  While Homeowners Meetings, like the one held in November, are geared towards providing the Homeowners with important information, the Board Meetings are primarily for the Board to discuss activities of the various components of Shadow Brook and vote on certain expenditures and such.  However, at Board Meetings, as with all non-special meetings, Homeowners are certainly welcome to attend.

Board Meeting Agenda May 11 2021

Welcome to the 2021 Shadow Brooks Sharks Cabana season! While this season will look very different from what we are accustomed to, we are thrilled to be joining efforts with the successful swim program of Almaden Riptide. Together, we are thrilled to offer a safe and fun summer cabana swim program. Our season will consist of practices during the week along with a potential of five dual meets, with a possible virtual Championship meet on Saturday, July 17.

While some of you may be thinking, my child does not want to swim for a year-round team, rest assured that our cabana season will be a fun way for your child to improve upon their swim skills while competing to improve their times. As our season approaches, we will make decisions regarding social opportunities for our team. We are committed to creating a safe and fun environment!
