Center of Excellence Benefits Charlotte Swimming
Recently, Mecklenburg Aquatic Club (MAC), along with USA Swimming, announced that the country’s first Center of Excellence would be formed and located in Charlotte, NC. MAC has several training centers in the Charlotte area; the main pool on Charlotte Latin’s campus in South Charlotte, Huntersville Family Fitness & Aquatics in Huntersville, as well as two more in Davidson and Concord.
For now, the Center of Excellence will be housed at the Huntersville location, however it will impact on the entire MAC family and the Charlotte area as a whole. Elite level swimmers will be relocating to Charlotte and become involved in the community at all levels. These athletes will be training for the Summer Olympics in 2008 and beyond.
MAC is a not for profit organization with some very strong swimming programs including a very competitive year-round team, a Junior Swim League, SwimAmerica lessons, Masters Swimming, and more. Becoming a Center of Excellence will only enhance the programs they already have in place.
US Olympic swimmers will most likely be in town to compete during MAC’s largest swim meet of the year, the UltraSwim, held this year June 7-10. This Grand Prix level event is sure to draw large crowds as top swimmers go head to head in the downtown Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center pool.
Home Owner Associations: Friend or Foe?
You’re thinking about moving here and you hear all the horror stories about Home Owner Associations. But are they true? Your friends and colleagues tell you that they aren’t worth the money they pay each month or year. How often have you heard, "I never use the pool, clubhouse, tennis courts or walking trails." "I just don’t see the value." "I have a neighbor that never cuts their grass or they painted their house an awful color."
Where I came from on Long Island we never had an association but we had a private swim club/recreation area. Not everyone joined and the swim club eventually fell into disarray. People did whatever they wanted to their home’s exterior and just didn’t understand the importance of having covenants and restrictions. What my neighbors did eventually affected property values.
Most "HOA’s" serve a great purpose. They protect our values by enforcing the covenants & restrictions but are not dictatorial. As a body, "HOA’s" can get things accomplished that could benefit the community and surrounding homeowners. I’ve lived in communities where HOA’s were able to have speed limits lowered, traffic studies done and protected our values when a home owner decides to rent their home and the tenant doesn’t keep the home up. They work to bring us together in a very positive social atmosphere. They organize events from parties for the children, Poker night for the guys and gals, tennis and golf clinics and even swim teams that compete with other communities.
The larger my investment, the better I want the Home Owner Association to be. They represent each and everyone of us. Warren Buffett once said, "Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
So I ask you, Home Owner association Friend or Foe?
Let me hear from you!
