We must perform the following tasks (in no particular order) after Labor Day but before the onset of freezing temperatures.
=== Early September: Close the Pool ===


* Remove the ceiling fans from the large pavilion.  As of 2020, duplicate mounts have been installed in the basement ceiling joists for safe storage.  Removing the fans is very important; high winds during winter can cause the fans to rotate at high speeds, damaging fan blades and/or the vinyl ceiling of the pavilion.
* Be on-site for pool closing and winterization with the contractor.

We must perform the following tasks (in no particular order) after Labor Day but before the onset of freezing temperatures.
 
* Contract a firm to handle snow removal from November through March.  We must clear the sidewalks; the club will violate city ordinances [https://library.municode.com/mi/livonia/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CO_TIT12STSIPUPL_CH12.04STSI_12.04.370SINOICRE 12.04.370] if they're not cleared appropriately.  Typically, the parking lot is not cleared (except for a small portion near the entrance).
