We invite the Chairs of the A&A, Activities, Communications, Golf, Health & Fitness, Landscape, Marketing, Pickleball, Safety & Security, and Tennis committees, as well as individual owners, to begin formulating their plans for improvements to our resort. This year we will need this information submitted to the committee no later than February 26, 2018 to be included in our upcoming projects and prior- itization.

over twenty years. Although most of our activities are chapter specific, the local chapter hosts or sponsors events are of interest to all ORPS residents. The FMCA Speaker series is a series featuring prominent individuals in the RV industry. Last year, B OB L IVINGSTON , former publisher of Trailer Life and Motorhome magazines, was the first speaker in the series. Bob and his wife, Lynne, were so impressed with ORPS that they not only purchased a lot for themselves, but also have encouraged friends to buy here as well. Both Bob and Lynne have become real contributors and active ORPS residents. This year the FMCA Speaker series will feature B OB T IFFIN , President and Founder of Tiffin Motorhomes. Tiffin manufactures the very popular Phaeton and Allegro series motorhomes. The event will be held in La Palma on Sunday, January 21, from 2 PM to 4 PM and is open to everyone. Our local FMCA chapter is working with the ORPS Marketing committee to staff and market ORPS at the Western Regional Motorhome Conference in Indio. This is the first of what may be a series of multi-pronged marketing outreach events focusing on the benefits of ORPS. As a commercial member of FMCA, ORPS will maintain a booth at the convention. The booth will be staffed primarily by members of the local FMCA chapter who will talk of the benefits of the resort and arrange visits and tours for interested and potential buyers. The second prong involves ORPS owners who participate in the Ambassador program. Ambassadors will conduct tours for interested individuals who have been referred by ORPS FMCA members at the Western Regional Conference in Indio. If you would like to participate in the Ambassador Program, please contact T ERRY N OLAN at lot 870.
