A Message from the President
July 2025

Dear neighbors,

I want to commend all of our volunteer pool testers for their tremendous work during this pool season. Our pool operation has been running smoothly, and it’s a direct result of our neighbors who helped to coordinate our pool testing schedule, and of course those who are volunteering their time to conduct testing. On behalf of myself and everyone else in our Chadwick community who is enjoying using the pool this summer, you have our utmost gratitude and appreciation!

A few other notes to share. First, the Annual Chadwick Yard Sale is this coming Saturday, August 2 from 8:30 - 1:30. Let’s all please be mindful that this will bring extra traffic into our neighborhood, so please be observant when driving, biking, or walking through our community on Saturday. Thanks goes to Chadwick resident, Nancy Trageser, for helping to organize our annual yard sale.

I’m also happy to announce another upcoming Chadwick Square event. Our very own expert pickle ball neighbor, Maggie O’Brien Evans, has graciously volunteered to teach a class for all Chadwick Square residents who would like to learn how to play pickle ball! Maggie is presently teaching pickle ball professionally at the Saratoga YMCA, so this is a great opportunity to learn how to play this fun sport in a relaxed environment. The introductory pickle ball class will be held on Wednesday, August 13 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at our sports court. As always, more information about future events in our community can be found by visiting the “calendar” tab on our new website - https://www.chadwicksquare.org/events-1 (you’ll also find information about our upcoming Chadwick pool party on Wednesday, August 20 here!)

Finally, it was voted on at our July Board of Directors meeting to proceed with installing a Knox Box at the entrance to our community pool. A Knox Box is a small, wall-mounted safe that holds building keys for emergency personnel, such as local fire departments and emergency medical services, to retrieve in emergency situations. Local emergency response departments hold master keys to all Knox Boxes in their response area, enabling them to quickly enter buildings without having to force entry. The board believes this is a good addition to the pool for improving emergency response and the well-being of our residents. Thank you to those community members who have advocated for emergency response pool access in this way.

In solidarity,

Philip Poczik
President, Chadwick Square Park Association Board of Directors
