As each day passes we see warmer temperatures and folks out enjoying the terrific desert environs that draw most of us to ORPS every season. Welcome back! Our facilities are busy with activity...many enjoying sports, hobbies, food and dancing... are we lucky or what?
Our activities happen with the hard work of lots of volunteers. If you'd like to help out, just let the organizers know and you'll be welcome. It's great fun! Within our organization we have many committees that consist of owners working on your behalf to make this place better and keeping us up to date within the industry for properties like ORPS. We are establishing a Marketing Committee to evaluate and improve our ORPS marketing efforts with the goal of attracting new owners and visitors. The hope is that we can reach new markets through creative measures utilizing new and existing technologies. A review and update of our Website is a priority. Marketing our lots outside of our walls will be explored. We must move forward in this economic climate and be proactive. Please, if you have talents or desires to assist in this important endeavor let me or S USAN know. Our annual election cycle is upon us and we welcome the three candidates who have put their names forward for your consideration. Two director positions are open with the retirement of S KIP P ISOR and B ARRY S TILWELL . We thank them for their service. Along with director elections, you'll find ballots for an Advisory Vote on Pickleball as well as an amendment to our CC&R's that will allow the new longer, larger fifth wheels that have come on the RV Market in recent years. We get many requests for these new larger units and they could help speed up the process of cycling out the very old units that remain in the Resort. An important note on the CC&R change is that we need a Quorum of votes to validate the amendment so please consider this and be sure to VOTE! Thanks! In the last few years we have seen changes in our occupancy that have come about as a result of several factors such as the value of the Canadian dollar drastically impacting our Canadian friends, neighbors and guests; the aging of our members which limits their attendance; health and medical issues that interrupt annual travel and, most unfortunate, the passing of members. All of this, coupled with the economic pressures, has brought us to where we are today. Ah, but our future is bright. We continue to hear wonderful stories about how someone has found this bit of paradise and fallen in love like many of us and bought a lot. The Ambassadors give guided tours every day where they report of ooo's and aaah's over the beauty, quality facilities and folks having fun that the visitors....and, hopefully, future owners experience. These are the results we want and need to keep in our thinking as we move forward...keeping this the vibrant, prime property that it has always been! Make the best of your time here...have fun and get involved!
