Tornados Swim Team

The Ballantyne Breakfast Club community information forum will be meeting on Saturday, August 21st, at the Ballantyne Hotel in the Fairway Ballroom. Our guest speakers include CMS Superintendent Dr.Peter Gorman and Mecklenburg County Sheriff Chipp Bailey.

This meeting will provide us with an opportunity to discuss with Dr.Gorman and his staff the recently announced test accomplishments and perhaps most importantly the changes that will be taking place with the school system.

Sheriff Bailey will take a few minutes at the start of our meeting to introduce himself and share information about the department he manages.

Presentations will start at 9AM but we recommend you arrive early to enjoy the free refreshments provided by our host the Ballantyne Hotel.

Please let your friends, neighbors and co-workers know about our meetings.

For more information, visit the Ballantyne Breakfast Club web site.

Our neighbor, Brian Foster, is promoting a Golf Outing for September 28:  The 19th Annual BSF Invitational, with proceeds directed to Kids First of the Carolinas.

Please see the attached Flyer,  BSF / Kids First Golf Tournament – 2010.

The ACC has seen an increasing trend of roof replacements in the neighborhood apparently from insurance payments for hail damage.  While maintenance and upkeep are always welcome in an aging neighborhood, we want to remind you that roofing projects, like all projects that modify, change or replace exterior elements of a home must be approved by the ACC prior to commencement of the project.  Approval is needed even if you are going to replace the roof with similar colors and materials.

As a guideline, the ACC has approved the following roof colors in the past – Charcoal Black, Desert Tan, Driftwood, Barkwood, Charcoal, Slate, Shakewood, Weathered Wood, Onyx Black and Estate Gray.  The ACC tries to stay with the existing look of the community which has been in the gray, black and brown families.

The ACC has a track record of cooperation with neighbors on getting projects approved quickly.  By following the established approval processes, homeowners will avoid unnecessary potential conflicts and costly remediation of projects completed without prior approval.

Attached is an updated approval form that should be used in connection with these or any other projects.  Completed forms should be sent to Superior Association Management so that they are properly logged and efficiently distributed to the ACC for timely approval.

Hi Tornados

I apologize profusely about the ribbon box! It was MIA for a few days. It’s back and full of ribbons. Read more…

CONGRATULATIONS TORNADOS!

Needless to say, it was a wonderful night. How awesome to see their names on the BIG board! How awesome to see our children cheer, scream, and swim their hearts out. How awesome to come in 5th. But, the biggest-bestest honor was the Sportsmanship Award!! We cannot remember what place we came in last year, but we sure remember the Sportsmanship award. Your children are AWESOME. Read more…

For those who have children participating in this evening’s All-Star Meet, we do need a handful of volunteers. We have been tasked with providing 2 timers, 1 ribbon sorter and 1 runner. I would like to stick with our normal procedures of splitting the meet in half. Read more…

The Thornhill Book Club will meet on Monday, August 2nd, at 7:30 p.m. – place TBD. The book selection is Look Again, by Lisa Scottoline.

Also, for those of you who are fast readers, we thought it would be fun to pick up a Janet Evanovich novel to read along with and share with the group that title too, something fun and different for summer. Also any other “gems” you have read over the summer!

Enjoy your Summer and hope to see you in August!

Good morning Tornados,

Many of you were unable to attend our team party last week and did not receive your medal.

The Plan:

I will leave the ribbon box on my front stoop for the next couple of weeks…….beginning on Friday this afternoon at 2:00. It will be there from 8:00AM-7:00PM everyday, unless the skies open up. Feel free to come and retrieve your ribbons and medals during those hours.

All Star Entries Update

Please note the last e-mail regarding the All-Star changes. We added a couple of swimmers to our alternates, so they will be attending the All-Star meet.

The Future:

We will be selecting a date in the near future to reunite the team . . . and go ICE SKATING!!!! We will notify you with details! It’s a great thing to do in the summertime . . .!

See you soon.
