CANDIDATE JOHN BOUDIN
CANDIDATE KATIE TARABOCHIA My husband Dean and I have been coming to the Palm Springs area for many years, some by airplane but mostly in our RV. We have stayed in many of the RV resorts here in
My wife, Cheri, and I are new owners after renting here last year. We plan on living at ORPS at least 5 months each winter and spend the rest of the year RVing to and from our home in Byron, IL. I am a
the valley but decided to buy in the best RV Resort—ORPS—in 2013. We felt, and still do feel, that ORPS has so much to offer to such a diverse group of people. We enjoy the diversity and all the activities supported by so many of us. It’s not unusual to find Dean and myself playing pickleball early in the morning, then off to the tennis courts, followed up by a round of golf—all 19 holes! A day like that ends with us soaking our sore muscles in the hot tub visiting with others who “overdid it” too. I am seeking a position on our board and will bring an enthusiastic interest to supporting our vision statement for ORPS so that we remain relevant and vital. My work history of 14 years in the legal field and then 25 years as a pilot in the aviation industry has given me the experience to work efficiently and effectively, being proactive rather than reactive. I was president of our Homeowners’ Association in Kirkland, Washington for over 9 years. The time came to pass the position on and I agreed to be vice president for two years to help with the transition to new board members. I am still the Registered Agent for our Kirkland, Washington Homeowners’ Association. My husband and I also manage our limited liability corporation (LLC) for rental property. I do the financial and administrative side of the business so continue to have a good working knowledge of financial planning. Here at ORPS I have been a member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Pets to the board, and have worked on other proposals for improvements. My husband and I participate in many of the events here in our beautiful resort. I will be an accessible board member. When people feel that their issues, regardless of what they are, are not valued, then positive change or resolutions do not occur. My past positions have given me the experience in maintaining cooperative relations and communications while also maintaining a high standard of professionalism. I commit to working together around shared needs, shared goals and to find ways to better support our community.
member of the Safety and Security Committee, Pickleball Public Relations Sub-committee, and I also serve as the Vice Chair on the Pickleball committee. Cheri and I have been married for 34 years and have two grown daughters. I am the oldest of 8 brothers and sisters. Coming from such a large family, my parents instilled in us the importance of cooperation and teamwork. These values have been the cornerstone of everything I have done in life. I’m a veteran of the US Navy where I served as a Construction Electrician with the Seabees. I was selected to join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 364. For over 35 years, I have worked as an electrician and an electrical foreman. Along with supervising and scheduling crews of craftsmen, I was a project manager on many large jobs. I have extensive experience managing construction and remodeling projects, as well as their budgets. In my time outside of work, I enjoy hobbies that include fishing, softball, and pickleball. For over 30 years, I have been an USSSA softball umpire and I serve as Umpire-in-Chief at our hometown sports complex. In the past, I have been a member of the Kiwanis, a volunteer firefighter, and a volunteer coach for various youth athletics. My goal is to work with the other board members and all owners in a positive and cooperative way to bring new ideas that improve everyone’s experience here at ORPS. A few of the issues I would like to address are the all too common breaching of our perimeter walls by area criminals, along with the lack of outdoor lighting that would help to deter them. Also to improve our clubhouses and the areas around them for better use and enjoyment. Throughout my life, the importance of family and cooperation has been my driving force. While partici- pating in sporting activities and resort functions, we have all made lasting friendships. These relationships are all part of a much larger family here at ORPS and nothing is more important than family. It would be a great honor to give back to the community that has so warmly welcomed my wife and me. I would appreciate your support.
