Photos at Front Desk

We had some issues with our front desk computer and had to get our photo files re-loaded. Therefore, we have not been checking photos as families enter the facility.

We have re-loaded our photo files and the front desk staff will now be checking your photo as you enter the facility. Please have patience and allow them time to do this.

All new families will need to get an individual photo taken at the front desk for our membership system. If you had a Lease or August Guest Pass last Summer, you do not need a new photo.

All children that have not had a photo taken in the past two Summers need to get a new photo taken as well. The front desk staff will let you know if a new photo is needed.

Cardinal Hill Directory

We have attached this year’s directory. This information is taken from the information form that member’s entered when they paid their dues. We ask that you please do not share this information with non-members.

Scout Projects at Cardinal Hill

Cardinal Hill is proud to recognize our own Girl Scout and Boy Scouts who have built and installed various projects to improve our club as part of their efforts to earn their silver award and Eagle Scout rank respectively. Garrett Smith planned the size and design of our professional grade bocce court on the back lawn. After planning and acquiring construction materials, Garret, the Scouts within his troop, his family and other friends cleared the land, leveled the ground, took careful measurements, installed a drainage system and border of railroad ties, put down weed paper and filled the court with rocks, gravel and Har-Tru green clay.

Last year Thomas Argauer built two benches for spectators alongside the bocce court and made access to the bocce and volleyball courts easily accessible by installing paving stone pathways. This summer Thomas will stain the benches he made.

Last weekend Sophie Page and friend and fellow Girl Scout, Ella Whitehouse, installed the Little Free Library they built for our community You’ll pass this beautiful red and black library as you approach the walkway to the pool. Sophie’s Little Free Library book exchange is a long-lasting sustainable way to provide books for members and to help to make reading a part of members’ routine each summer.

We appreciate Sophie, Garrett and Thomas’ time and talents that were needed to build projects that have made and will continue to make a lasting impact in our club.

New Security at Cardinal Hill
For many years, Cardinal Hill has contracted with a Security company and a security guard would be at Cardinal Hill each evening during the Summer. This year, we have decided to install a new security system. We are installing security cameras around the perimeter of the property to be monitored off-site by a security company. We feel that these cameras will not only deter potential thieves/vandals, but we will also be able to record any incidence that may occur. These cameras will also allow security for the club during the off season. The cameras are currently being installed and we anticipate this service to be activated shortly.
