January 2023 Oracle

Happy New Year and Welcome 2023 . We are starting another wonderful year here at Outdoor Resort Palm Springs. November and December were a great start to this fun - filled season and our upcoming months will be filled with plenty of things to keep us busy. To go along with our regularly scheduled midweek entertainment on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays there will be many exciting things to look forward to attending. Later in January, we will be having a Wild West Week which will conclude with a Wild West Murder Mystery event. Early in February, you will want to plan to attend one of our world - famous Big Star events. These events are fundraisers for the resort and a great way to give back. Be sure to look over the Special Events Calendar so you can plan ahead. Your Board of Directors is proud to finally announce the completion of our well - needed off - leash dog park. The dog park has been well received and is being enjoyed by many. This is an amenity that will make our resort even more popular than it is now because many RVers travel with their pets and expect a Premier RV Resort to have facilities for their four - legged family members. The election of Directors is in the near future. With several Board members leaving before the expiration of terms over the last few years, there will be four positions open, two for three years and two for one year. The filling of these four spots will likely shape the Resort ’ s future significantly. I like to think of a Board position as a Responsibility rather than a Job and urge Policy Governance, where the Board decides Policy and on occasion Procedure, but allows management to implement day - to - day Operations. Are you interested in that? If so, a Candidate Declaration form is available by emailing Jennifer Miranda, Executive Assistant, at jmiranda@orps.com. The deadline is January 16, and if you ’ re elected, the Responsibilities would begin on March 20 . . . and continue for one or three years. ” I would like to thank all our owners that have volunteered their time to make ORPS the best place on earth. I feel truly blessed to call ORPS my winter home and to be part of such a large group of friends and family and I hope you feel the same. Let ’ s enjoy this season together and truly appreciate all our resort has to offer.

The Resort is continuously seeking volunteers! The liveliness of our community is based on the spirit of volunteering. Volunteering gives meaning to the event itself and energizes both the participants and those receiving the benefit of the event. Volunteering creates opportunities for new friendships, the exchange of ideas, and a sense of community. Contact: Abby Lomeli, Communications Coordinator at alomeli@orps.com for the Volunteer Form (yes, you can volunteer and sign up for more than one opportunity!) The chair- person/lead will be in contact with you.
