COCOPAH GAZETTE October 2017 A publication for the residents of Cocopah RV Greetings from the office staff! I hope you are all enjoying your autumn days whether you are in the park or are away. The weather here is absolutely wonderful currently. We just want to send a friendly reminder that you should call to notify us if you plan on returning anytime soon. This will help Sheila in the mailroom with the proper distribution of your mail. It also helps the office staff and the security employees know who is in the park.
