Ron Pollock: Ron didn't live in the park very long. He and his wife Lee had a home in Mexico. They lived here while Ron got treatments in Tucson. Ron loved the sunshine and the water.
Tommy Reigot: Tommy was a lover of music, film, literature and and engineer. He loved his boys and raised 5 of them in NYC on his own. He left home eary to be a roadie for Greatful Dead. He servced on the Activities Committte as Secretary for 6 months before falling ill. He went back to New York to be with his family before his passing.
Flo Anderson: Her and her husband Fred started wintering in GV over 30 years ago. The finally called in their home. Everyone knew she was "nutty" and she like that reputation. Her grandchildren called her "Crazy Grandma" and she like that too. She enjoyed life, smiling, laughing and taking care of Fred.
Barbara Endricks: She enjoyed coming to events at the clubhouse early on. When she started getting sick, she found it harder and harder to get around and come up to have a good time. When she did come up she was full of smiles and loved visiting with people.
Dennis Lund: Dennis first and foremost loved his family. He loved serving his country in the Army. He would always be at karaoke ready to sing. Whenever there was a food event and there were leftover, we would ask if he wanted more and the answer was always the same "Well, if you insist!" Dennis drove bus for Sahaurita School Districe the last few years that he lived in the Estates and really enjoyed it.
Jim Gorss: Jim played the saxophone when he was younger in a band called the Fabulous Flippers. They played with Buddy Holly and band is that era. He and his wife Sue, loved boating also. Unfortunately, boating wasn't their cup of tea, they sank all 6 boats that they owned. Sue still lives in the park.
At the Park Meeting in January, the topic of prayer at events and faith-based events was brought up. The committee, Jeff & Annelle met and we came up with a solution that we feel covers all the grounds.
· Prayer at events: A pause will be taken before every meal for those who wish to say a prayer at their table, has the opportunity to do so.
Events will be as follows:
· Private events ~ Activities club does not advertise this at all. The person can have any event they wish only rules are leave the place how you found it or better. There is signage that reads Private Event (if needed) but note that the rest of the clubhouse is still open to the residents. IE, if dining room and fireplace room are reserved, individuals can still come into the poker room to read, use the internet, etc. We will do our best to make sure that Private events are respected. Management will handle any issues that seem disruptive.
· Res Host events ~ These are activities that are hosted by residents of the park and not the activities club. During the Wintertime, Wednesday’s will be the slated day of Res Host events. During the Summer when evening activities are on hold, Monday thru Thursday will be available. The activities club does not advertise or send reminders for these events on an ongoing basis. It will be announced at the beginning and end of the event series, just like for the examples listed later. There will be a spot in the Coyote every month which will show all Res Host events for that month. That request must be submitted by the 25th of the previous month to be included in the Coyote. There will need to be a Lead or Contact associated with the event for people to follow up on as it is not a Committee Event. Again, you are responsible for reminders throughout the month and any advertising on the Res Hosted board. New Res hosted events will be labeled on the calendar in Red. We will do our best to make sure that these events are respected. Management will handle any issues that seem disruptive
o Examples of Res Host events: Bingo, 65 game night, cribbage, Karaoke & Darts (these are preset scheduled activities) & Bunco. I do not advertise for these events and a Lead is assigned.
· Committee hosted events ~ These are events that are put on by and hosted by the Activities Club. These events are advertised to remind people of an upcoming event, that they have signed up for an event and not to miss it or they will need to pay (meals). Committee events will be labeled in Yellow.
o Examples of Committee Hosted events: Monthly Luncheon, Monthly Breakfast, Monthly Dinner, Birthday Party, Yard sale, fundraising events and any other events that take place that the Activities Club hosts.
With all that laid out, we have new information boards that we took the time to change out. Each event (Res Hosted & Committee Hosted) has their own board, and the Resort event board has been moved to above the coffee pots. The new Res Hosted board is visible as soon as you walk into the clubhouse in the library. On the wall where the Resort board used to be is now misc. info. i.e. things for sale, coupons, etc.
I have signs being made for the new boards.
If you have any questions, please reach out to anyone on the committee or Jeff.
