met via Zoom with Lance Willis on 27 January, asking him questions regarding a product that we needed some additional information on. He provided some helpful info but also left us with some open ended questions. having narrowed our main area of concentration to two products and knowing that we probably wouldn't be able to provide the board with any more substantial info, the planning committee on 4 March, unanimously suggested in a motion to the Board of Directors, that the board review and research for their purposes two products for sound abatement/noise absorption.

AdHoc Facility Master Improvement Planning Committee Social - Goal One: The Resort will encourage social interaction and friendships among owners by properly providing facilities to support programs that make the Resort a social hub of owner interaction and enjoyment. Recreation - Goal Two: The Resort will provide and promote an active recreation program for owners to make the Resort their recreational hub while residing in the desert. Facility Improvement - Goal Six: The Resort will develop a facility improvement master plan and a recommended pri- oritization for implementation to provide facilities which achieve the Resort ’ s Mission. The above statements are taken from the refresher strategic plan your board of directors is developing with the assistance of the McMahon Group. The committee met with the McMahon Group on Monday February 8, 2021. Jeff Evans and Glen Selig- man, McMahon Group, walked the committee members through a second iteration of the various proposals for both the La Palma and El Saguaro clubhouses. The main focuses of this committee are on how to go about improving the social facilities, fitness facilities, meeting room spaces and F&B spaces in the two clubhouses. Glen highlighted the changes made, based on the committee ’ s ideas, suggestions and feedback received in the December, 2020 meeting. It was very interesting, listening to Glen ’ s presentation, and then listen to the committee members. It ’ s very much a collaboration of all. With many questions, sug- gestions and modifications proposed, challenged and alternate ideas being put forth. Jeff and Glen will now take all the suggestions from this meeting and further revise their proposals, for presentation to the committee, at a meeting TBD in early March. I would like to thank the committee members – Evon Haarklau, Kathy McCune, Maryellen Muir, Shauna Riely, John Boudin, Bob Craven, Mike Curley, Allen Gayken, Bob Livingston and Greg Farmer for embracing this next step, as we move forward in the development and implementation of a Strategic Plan, a plan that will keep the resort ‘ standing in good stead ’ in the years to come. Don Renoe Board Liaison The Planning Committee continued the work of researching sound abatement/noise absorption products that would encircle the pickle ball courts here in Outdoor Resort. Many community members were right along beside us listening in at meetings as we researched, studied and discussed articles we had found. Outdoor Resort is unique to the issue that we have people living 67 feet away from pickle ball courts when all research indicates courts and people that close together just don't mix will. Thus...the search for a possible solution to abate the situation. The committee

Contemporary rendering of the 23rd Psalm The Lord is my strength, I shall not panic; He helps me relax and rest in quiet trust. He reminds me that I belong to Him and restores my serenity; He leads me in my decisions and gives me peace of mind. His presence is peace. Even though I walk through the valley of fear of failure, I will not worry, for He will be with me. His truth, grace, and lovingkindness will stabilize me. He prepares release and renewal in the midst of my stress. He anoints my mind with wisdom; My cup overflows with fresh energy. Surely goodness and mercy will be communicated through me, For I shall walk in the strength of my Lord, and dwell in His presence forevermore. Amen

Here is the 23rd Psalm as recorded in the Bible. Both are wonderful and timely. I pray He is your Shepherd!! The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness for His names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou annointest my head with oil my cup overflows, Surely goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I

will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen My prayer is that each of us remember whose we are; sheep who need a Shepherd .
