HEALTH & FITNESS COMMITTEE Welcome to the 2017 – 2018 season! The Fitness Center was painted over the summer break so plan to come see the new color and, while there, check out the equipment. In January, we are planning to have a speaker but have not finalized the details so please look for more information in the January ORACLE. In February, we are planning another Health & Wellness Fair on Saturday, February 17, 2018 from 9AM to 12PM in the La Palma Clubhouse. Look for more information in the January ORACLE as well. The “Desert Health: News from the Valley’s Integrated Health Community ” is published six times a year (J/F, M/A, M/J, J/A, S/O, and N/D). It has been delivered to the resort and distributed to the Activities Office, the BOD Office, the Fitness Center, the Front Office, and the ES/LP Mailrooms during our season months, November to April, free of charge. We will continue to do so this season. Last season, many of you requested this newsletter be delivered to your mailbox / home. If you would like to receive this newsletter year round you can pay $25 for an annual subscription. To do so, provide your name, address, payment info (check or credit card) and mail to Desert Health at POB 802 La Quinta CA 92253. Also, be sure to identify which issues you would like delivered to your mailbox at ORPS and which ones to your primary home address.
FACILITIES PLANNING WELCOME back everyone to our lovely resort! The FP Committee hopes you are ready to enjoy our beautiful facilities here in the desert! It’s exciting to see the lake projects completed, painting of the La Palma Clubhouse exterior, our new Bella Roma Restaurant offering great meals under a new patio shade, breezeway screening and pool deck umbrellas all in our new marina blue color scheme. The pergola at the El Saguaro clubhouse has been updated with fans, heaters and dimmable lighting providing another beautiful venue that has already had enormous use for your parties with friends. Our grounds look stunning with green grass, trimmed trees, sparkling ponds and grand welcoming scenery. Our committee members Marsha Nelson, Denny Bloom, Alice Heuple, Michael Murray, Judy Jurach, Charles Stinson and Michelle Moore have all worked tirelessly on several projects last season. I so appreciate their contributions and expertise and it is this group that brings many of these projects to fruition. They all contribute their enthusiastic expertise and always hold the best interests of our resort facilities in mind. This season some of the projects that we will be working on include the ES kitchen, pool decking and updating of pool furniture and umbrellas, dog facilities, easement land potential uses - to name a few. Some of our committee member terms will be expiring soon and we invite interested owners to assist us in the upcoming seasons. We NEED administrative, engineering, contractor or facilities expertise. Please express your interest in volunteering to Ava Felt or one of our FPC members. Our next scheduled FPC meetings will be held Thursday, November 16 at 2 PM in the Pergola at El Saguaro and on December 2, 2017 at 2 PM in the East Room at La Palma. All owners are welcome!
