President’s Message December 2010

With Thanksgiving behind us now we have the Christmas season in full swing. While most of us were lucky enough to share good times please remember there are some people who are not as fortunate. The association is sponsoring Adopt a Family again this year in an effort to share with families less fortunate. You will find a list of “wishes” from the families in this newsletter, please consider donating something to these families. It is sad to think of a child not getting at least one Christmas wish fulfilled.

Santa will be at the Community Center on Saturday December 11th from 10AM to 4PM. Bring a non perishable food item to be donated to the Marana food bank and receive a free 8X10 photo with Santa.  There will be a bake sale with popcorn and hot chocolate so bring the kids and pets to support the food bank and Lady Shriners and get your picture with Santa.

Hopefully you have noticed the new plantings at Rivers Edge, Richmond Estates and Desert Sage. These three entries were refurbished as part of the Landscape committee’s plans to refurbish all the entries. They were only able to have these three completed because of the oncoming winter weather. Look forward to the others being completed sometime in March or April.

I am looking forward to having Twin Peaks open during the Christmas rush at Arizona Pavilions- it is a really nice addition to CRCA. The BOD wishes you a happy holiday and merry Christmas.

Landscape Committee

In a community the size of Continental Ranch, landscape is a big deal!  The day-to-day maintenance requires a full time crew to keep the grounds free of weeds and trash, to keep the trees neatly trimmed, to mow the grass in turf areas, and to monitor the irrigation system.

The CRCA Landscape Committee takes great pride in their work.  The volunteer committee, working at the direction of the Board, continually monitors the quality of maintenance work performed by the landscape contractor, and also works within the budget developed by the Board to maintain and enhance landscape throughout CRCA as needed.

If you have time to donate for the greater good of the Community, the Landscape Committee is always looking for new members. Call 297-7600 for information.

Activities Committee

Continental Ranch is a beautiful community with many active residents and families.  There are currently no members on the Activities Committee, however in past years different groups of volunteers have donated their time and effort to help organize community events.  Although the Committee is currently inactive, the Board and Management (with the help of other volunteer residents) continue to coordinate community events.   

Some past events have included:

Fall Festival

Halloween Haunted House

Adopt a Family

 

The coordinated events change from year to year, so be involved with the Activities Committee if you would like to help shape the upcoming seasonal fun!  The Activities Committee is also active in charity support, such as food drives to support local the food bank and adopting local families to brighten their holidays during unfortunate times.

 

Currently, there are not enough volunteers to form a Committee, and the Board of Directors works with management to coordinate events.  If you would be interested in forming a new Activities Committee please call the CRCA office at 297-7600 and let them know.
