Based on overwhelming community feedback regarding the recent Board member implemented designated smoking section at our community pool, along with accompanying health concerns for community members - especially children - by signing this petition you are asking for a community based vote regarding the placement of a smoking section at the pool. The decision to implement was based on Board member votes alone and may not represent the desire of the community. Further information regarding health risks can be found at Lung.org, cdc.gov, or the Forsyth County Environmental Heath department. OWNERS of the Villages at Castleberry: bylaws state we will need a 25% vote, which equates to 48/189 votes. RENTERS: please be advised you will need your landlord’s vote if he/she wishes to sign this petition. For any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact Abby Akins at 678-386-5705.

The last time I was at the pool with my granddaughter, she said - Nana, I smell smoke - and we were on the opposite side from where the women were smoking! I totally disagree with smoking being allowed inside the pool area!

I do not agree with the new designated smoking area inside the gated pool area. Those who wish to not be affected by smoke should not have to choose to leave the pool. Rather, those who wish to smoke should do so outside the gate in an area that is not directly near people and children enjoying the shared neighborhood facilities.

I don’t want smoking in or around the pool. I am very angry that this was NOT voted on at our HOA meeting. The board should NOT be allow to vote or decide on this matter like this. 2nd hand smoke is serious, and shouldn’t be taken lightly! Those that wish to smoke need to leave the pool area, and I don’t mean to just step outside of the pool gated area. I don’t want to walk by someone smoking when I go in or out of the pool. I feel as neighbors we can, and will stand strong against smoking!!!!

Smoking at the pool is NOT acceptable, my Grandmother died of lung cancer so I am genetically a risk to 2nd hand smoke.

We vote for no smoking at the pool. Why subject our community to an unnecessary health risk?
