Given the 40 degree nighttime temperature and the amount of work it takes for the heaters to heat the pools all day, we are turning off the heaters on Friday Oct 11, 2025 for both Pool “A” and “F/G”.

We had an amazing Summer, see you next year!

It has been decided to keep both Pool A and F/G open for 10 more days until the rain comes. 

Pool closing date would now be the end of day on Oct 10^th.

If the temperatures should drop unexpectedly, we would have to close earlier for the season.

Enjoy!

Sincerely, your Pool Committee

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Officials are warning the public that scammers are impersonating deputies and sergeants on the phone in an attempt to defraud people of money.

Deputies recently received a report of a person being scammed out of $1,000. The scammers are using the real names of sheriff’s office employees with a falsified caller ID to make it appear they are calling from the sheriff’s office. Scammers also use fake case numbers.

Scammers claim their targets have an outstanding warrant, unpaid court fees or missed jury duty, and that they must pay a fine with a gift card, cash app or cryptocurrency to avoid being arrested.

Anyone who has been victimized by this scam should file a police report by calling Clackamas County Non-Emergency at 503.655.8211. Also, notify Charbonneau Security Neil Kennedy at 503.694.2300 or email neil@charbonneaucountryclub.com.

Thank you to Shirley Hoem, Neill Kennedy and Marilyn Ellwood for preparing this message.

The Pool by Rec Hall C will close Monday September 23rd.

Pools “A” and “F/G” will close Monday September 30th.

Thank you to those who kept our pools looking so Beautiful this summer.

The following message comes from Marilyn Ellwood, CHOA’s Emergency Preparedness Chair.

IT’S TIME FOR CHARBONNEAU’S ANNUAL SHAKE OUT DRILL

DROP COVER AND HOLD ON

Shake Out is an opportunity to practice how to be safe during an earthquake. Practicing what to do during an earthquake could save your life.

Charbonneau will be holding their annual drill on September 12^th at 6:12 PM. Prior to the drill your Neighborhood Captains will be coming by with a flyer explaining what to do. They will also have a sign for you to post telling them if you are OK or need HELP.  Please take the time to do this so we can verify participation in the drill. You will also receive a raffle ticket for an item to add to your Emergency Preparedness kit.

Before the drill identify a safe space in your home to practice DROP COVER AND HOLD ON. Under a sturdy table or desk is ideal. If you are unable to drop to the floor find a sturdy chair or bed to sit on, away from windows, during the drill. Cover your head and neck with your hands until the shaking stops. Do Not run outside or stand in a doorway.

The best time to practice for an emergency is before one happens. Please join us in the Shake Out Drill.

If you have any questions, contact Marilyn Ellwood, Key Captain for CHOA  503 799-8444.

We know the weather is unpredictable, however we have that covered.

The Dining Room will be open as will the Pavilion which is covered with propane heaters. Spending time with neighbors and friends is what it is all about. Good Food and Fun Prizes! We hope to see you all there! Your CHOA Board
