Now the fun and good weather begins! All of us that stayed through the summer (no, I didn t get to go on my trip) are anxious to hear your tales of adventure and relaxation in your cool country back home. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our new Activity Director - Alisa Tevlin. At this time I don t have a lot of information regarding Alisa, but we will all get to know her together. Welcome Alisa! We all wish you well. Let s all help Alisa get acquainted and comfortable in her new role. Mary and Harvey Staples, from the office, will be joining us at the end of this month and Frick and Frack will be back in action. Stay tuned. A hearty Thank You to our great maintenance crew for keeping things in such tip top shape during the summer and getting those pesky palms trimmed. Our flowers should start taking hold shortly and we will again have those beautiful sites. If your gate card does not work please come to the office so we can get yours fixed. October, 2011 Volume 33 Number 1 Remember our Refer A Friend program. Get one of your friends to come in their RV (one that has not been here before) and you both will earn credit on your account. Ask for details in the office. Again - Welcome Back, Joan New Activity Director As your new Activity Director I am looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to know all of you. I have been a resident of Southern Arizona for more than half of my life, transplanted from Ohio, I often journey back home but always enjoy getting back to Arizona quickly! Though I haven t owned an RV, I have had a career selling RV s in the past. I always like to live vicariously through the many travelers I come across. What a great life-style! I hope you will share your journeys with me. This year promises lots of activities and plenty of fun. I certainly will need volunteer help, so I encourage you to come into my office and let me know where you would like to apply your expertise. Alisa Tevlin

Every individual who wishes to participate agrees to call the Activity Office at 886-8431, between 9:00 am and 10:00 am to say: My name is at lot # I m Okay. In the event that the Activity Office does not receive a phone call from you by 10:00am, we will call you to see if you forgot to call us. If we do not receive an answer, two office personnel will come to your home to check on you. Each person should agree to leave a key in the main office for emergencies purposes. The key is optional but could be very important in the case of an emergency. If you wish to be part of this group please be sure to fill out a reference card and leave it with the activities office along with your key. 3 Free Movie Country Strong Soon after a rising young singer-song writer (Garrett Hedlund) gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star (Gwyneth Paltrow), the pair embark on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager (Tim McGraw) and featuring a beauty queen-turned-singer (Leighton Meester).
