March is upon us and the season is going to be winding down soon. We have had lots of changes this season, not the least of which was having our General Manager of six years leave for another opportunity in the valley. But when one door closes, another opens. We brought Ed Vitrano in as an interim General Manager to fill the void left by Clint’s departure. I can’t tell you how pleased the Board is that Ed is stepping in to take on that role. Ed brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of large-scale community associations, such as ours, to the resort. I am confident that, once you get to know him, you too will see how his skills and abilities are well suited for our oasis in the desert. We also have new members joining the Board of Directors and we will be bringing them up to speed in the weeks ahead. The rest of the Board looks forward to getting to know their strengths and how they can help us to be as effective as possible in ensuring we are moving the resort in the right direction. In February, the Board adopted by resolution, a revised Vision Statement, Mission Statement and core values. The vision is more succinct and pared down to one sentence. It reads:
Important Dates March 11 Ballots mailed to the Inspectors of Election Post Office Box must be received by 5PM Please vote early to ensure your ballot is delivered by this deadline March 12 4PM – Deadline for ballots to be deposited in Ballot Box at LP March 13 10:15AM Registration of hand-delivered ballots by the Inspectors of Election, LP East Room 10:30AM Annual Meeting Call to Order. 10:30AM Tabulation of Ballots, East Room 1:00PM Annual Meeting resumes. Election Results announced. “positive”. Any negativity that exists in our resort needs to be replaced with positivity. And finally, the word “all” . Again, we want a positive culture for everyone who resides, works, or visits our oasis in the desert. The future of ORPS is bright, but it will take all of “US” , working together, to achieve our vision! Immediate recess for tabulation of ballots by the Inspectors of Election
We strive to be a premier RV Resort with excellent facilities, amenities and activities creating a positive social culture for all.
In the months ahead, I will spend time on the Mission and Core Values, but I would like to elaborate on the revised vision statement now. The first word in the vision is “ We” . This is important, as it is inclusive of everyone who makes the turn off of Ramon into our resort. Vendors, guests, renters, owners, and employees. We all need to work together to achieve and maintain the status of “Premier” . Next is the “positive social culture” . The key word being
