This has been a busy and exciting season for the Health & Fitness Committee. We accepted the challenge of raising funds and keeping up with the needs of our active community here at Outdoor Resorts. We added 3 new committee members!

Stephanie Knox Being a So Cal native and living at the beach, I have been an outdoors exercise enthusiast since youth. My happy place is mountain biking, strength training, kickboxing, yoga,

jumping rope, wakeboarding, snowboarding and now “ Pickleball", thanks to ORPS! Professionally, I was an Animal Keeper/Bird Show Presenter for the Los Angeles Zoo. After my son was born, I chose to be a stay at home mother and at age 40, I became a Certified Personal Trainer. I am currently a Student Pilot, and enjoy volunteering at Guide Dogs of the Desert, Palm Springs Animal Shelter, Desert Wildlife Center and California State Parks/Mount San Jacinto.

Dana Moore A resident of Yakima, Washington where I taught Kindergarten for 40 years. During my career, I enjoyed an active lifestyle; training for 1/2 and full marathons, sprint triathlons and had a dynamic gym membership. Since my retirement, I

continue to be busy with daily walks (usually with my dog), workouts in the gym, and playing both pickleball and golf. Consequently, ORPS is my happy place!

Greg Lum A resident of Tigard (a suburb of Portland, Oregon), I retired after a 40 year career in education: 10 years in the classroom and 30 years in the school library. Recently retired in 2022, I “ drank the ORPS kool - aid ” after visiting friends here last March, made an offer on the

second day, and was an official ORPS owner in April 2024. I am playing Pickleball here, trying to play a decent round of golf, and loving the sunshine. During the spring and summer, I am an avid gardener. I sell plants and flower bouquets at a Farmers Market booth every Saturday and work part - time at a garden center twice a week. My four adult kids say this helps relieve my plant addiction!
