Spring Break
This month is Spring Break month for school children
all across the country, and a few of them find their way to
Sunland Springs Village. Some of the school “children”
are well into their 20’s, but whatever their age, the residents
being visited need to make sure their guests are following
community rules.
Remember that you must accompany your guests of any
age while they are at the Pool, the Fitness Center or the Billiards Room. However, if you have adult guests (age 18 or
older) staying one or more nights with you, you may obtain
passes at the Activities Office that allow them to use the facilities on their own. The passes are $5 per person, and there is
a $15 family rate. The passes are good for 30 days.
Golf Carts
Every year I get reports of children, sometimes very
young children, driving grandma’s golf cart on our streets.
This practice is very dangerous even if you are accompanying
your grandchild, and it freaks everybody else out. Remember,
the streets in Sunland Springs Village belong to the city. To
drive on any city street you must be a licensed driver and
follow the rules of the road.
Swimming Pool Monitors
Again this season, the Recreational Facilities Committee
has organized a group of volunteer homeowners to be Pool
Monitors. Thanks go to JoAnne Chapin and Myra Lillie, the
principal organizers, and to their volunteers. The Pool Monitors will be on duty throughout the month of March and into
April during children’s hours seven days a week. They are
identifiable by their attractive T-shirts.
Their job is to remind people of the rules and to report infractions. Please show the Pool Monitors your respect and your
gratitude for making the pool area a pleasant place to be.
DIVERSIFICATION ISN’T JUST ABOUT
MARKET RISK
There are other risks we sometimes don’t
think about.
Swimming Pool Rules
This is a good time of
year to review the swimming
pool rules. I am not covering
all the rules here, just the ones
I get the most calls about. The
complete list of rules is posted
at the pool.
The pools at Sunland
Springs Village are not the same as family swimming pools
where Mom and Dad invent rules on the spur of the moment
as needed. Our pools are classified as semi-public pools and,
therefore, we are governed by the health codes established
by Maricopa County. The rules posted in the pool area make
sense from a health and safety viewpoint and also from a “let’s
all get along” viewpoint.
1. No child under the age of three and nobody wearing
diapers is allowed in the pools. Obviously these rules are
based on health concerns. I find it hard to believe that anyone
would take a diapered child into a semi-public pool, but this
violation occurs every year.
2. Children three to 16 may swim in the Main Pool or the
Lap Pool only between Noon - 2 PM and between 5 - 6 PM.
Sunland Springs Village is a 55 and older community as defined
by the Federal Government. People who move here expect that,
with rare exceptions, no one under 18 is living here. Therefore,
children’s hours at the pool are, and should be, an exception
to the standard, established as an amenity so that the residents
can spend some time with their under aged guests at the pool.
3. No children under the age of 16 are allowed in the Spa.
This rule is based on health concerns. Until well into puberty,
children do not have sufficient sweat glands to moderate their
temperature. Children can have a great time in the Spa and be
perfectly safe provided the temperature is no higher than 98
degrees. However, you live in an adult community, and the
Spa temperature is set for adults, close to 104 degrees.
4. No running, diving, rough play, etc. at the pool. This
rule doesn’t just apply to children. I have had reports of middle
aged children of residents acting like children at the pool.
5. No glass containers or food in the pool area. You may
have beverages in other types of containers, but they should
not be placed on the sides of the pool. Put them on a table.
Brokerage risk. At mid-decade, if you had
walked around Manhattan saying Lehman
Brothers would go bankrupt, few would have
paid you any mind. But it happened – not
just because of the financial climate, but
because of decisions management made.
Of course, brokerages only handle your investments; they are prohibited from tapping
into your assets or lending them out when
they get in a jam. The Securities Investor
Protection Corporation protects up to

Investment advisor risk. We can be thankful, as investors and as a society, that Bernie
Madoff represents an unfortunate aberration
in the financial services industry. Financial
advisors, investment advisors, money managers – hundreds of thousands of them work by
strict legal, ethical, and moral standards. If
they don’t, they risk losing their livelihoods,
or worse. But, very rarely, you do read stories of financial services professionals who
have proved charlatans. One way to combat
this risk is to check out the advisor. You can
do it through the free Broker Check record
search offered by the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (finra.org/
brokercheck), and through your state securities administrator. This risk, although thankfully rare, does give one pause to think
about the value of having a strong cash position and diversification beyond the standard
investment vehicles.
6. Shower in the pool area before entering the pool. This
applies to everyone, even those among you who, like most
Americans, shower or bathe everyday. Aside from our monsoon dust storms, the biggest contaminates for most pools are
the dead skin cells on your body. The threat of contamination
by skin cells is especially high in small bodies of water, in
particular, spas.
Fitness Center Rules
1. Use equipment at your own risk. Paola Ball, our Fitness Instructor, is available to show you how to use the equipment safely. She is at the Fitness Center the first Thursday
and the third Tuesday of the month from 9 - 11 AM.
2. No one under 18 years of age may use the equipment
at any time.
3. No food or drink except water.
4. No bare feet or wet suits; shirts required.
5. If you sweat on the equipment or floor, wipe it up.
Billiard Room Rules
1. No food or drink except water.
2. No one under 16 years of age may play.
3. Don’t sit on the tables.

Inflation risk. Inflation – even moderate
inflation - effectively reduces your purchasing power over time. This is why growth investing can be a priority in retirement.
Bottom line: be diversified. Have many
baskets, not one. Speak to a qualified financial advisor to examine the financial options
before you. There may be many more ways
to invest your assets than you realize.

is to maintain 100% participation
in the Neighborhood Block Watch
Program. Over the past six months
we have experienced a slight decline
in participation. The SSV Security

the Block Watch Program and has

Block Captains, residents interested
in becoming a Block Captain and residents who want to know more about
the program are invited to attend.
Community safety is the responsibility of each and every resident and
the neighborhood Block Captain is
a necessary and integral part of our
partnership with the Mesa Police Department. The temporary downturn
in volunteer Block Captains comes
at a most inopportune time.
The Mesa Police Department
confirms that in February, March and
April they observe sharp spikes in
crimes against property and automobiles theft. Factually, we have already
had several incidents since the first of
this year. Many thieves perceive this
to be the time when winter visitors
begin packing up to return to their
summer residence. Winter visitors
and full-time residents should be
aware that leaving visible valuables
in your unlocked vehicle (GPS units,
wallets, laptops, etc.) attracts thieves.
If your garage door opener is left in an
unlocked vehicle, you have also given
thieves access to your home. Keep
your car locked and report suspicious
activities.
The Block Watch program
works. Participants are encouraged
to keep an eye on any activity that is
questionable and if “it does not look
right” they are encouraged to call the
police. Block Watch Captains coordinate activities and dispense timely
information to their neighbors. This
program is the most effective tool
we have to deter crime and keep our
community safe. Mark you calendar.
If you are a Block Captain or are
interested in the program and think
that you might be able to be a Block
Captain, please come and join your
neighbors in the Superstition Room
at 6:30 PM on Monday, March 9.
Committee
Opportunities
The Annual Meeting represents the end of term for many
HOA committee members. That means there are openings in
March on the following committees: Architecture, Communications Management, Finance, Landscaping, Recreational
Facilities and Security. If you think you might be interested,
come to the Activities Office and pick up a packet. It describes
each of the committees and includes an application form.
There currently are no openings on the Buildings Committee, but fill out an application anyway if you are interested.
Openings often occur in mid-term.

On January 24, Farnsworth’s hosted a 50th Anniversary
Open House at the Sales Office and Model Home Complex
in Sunland Springs Village. Over 1200 residents, guests and
“future residents” showed up to enjoy the festivities. Rollie
Fingers, (pictured with Craig Ahlstrom), Major League Baseball
Hall of Famer (Class of 1992), was on hand to help celebrate.
Rollie played with the Oakland Athletics and won three World
Series titles, a Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player. Rollie really “pioneered” the role of the “closer” for Major League
Baseball. He signed autographs and had his picture taken with
dozens of well wishers who attended the event.
Craig, Jr. is also pictured along with Charles Anderson
who won a three-day trip to Las Vegas by hitting a home run
at the baseball booth.
To keep the baseball theme alive, grilled hamburgers
and hot dogs were served, along with peanuts, popcorn and
soda pop. Inflatable games were set up for attendees to be
able to win prizes, such as golf, hats, T-shirts and a weekend
get-away to Las Vegas.
KOY radio personality, Danny Davis, attended the event
and gave away KOY prizes for those who could answer various
trivia questions. The weather was beautiful and everyone had
a great time. Thanks for helping us celebrate!!!

Summerizing Your Home – Part 2
Jere Barcellina – SSV Security
Committee
DO NOT ADVERTISE
THE FACT THAT YOU ARE
GOING TO BE GONE ALL
SUMMER. Your goal is to
make your residence look like
it’s not vacant.
LIGHTING – THE #1
PREVENTION TOOL
Leaving the electricity
on gives you more options
for security and no one can
tell your schedule by your
lighting, whether you are
home or away.
1. Install outside “dusk to
dawn” lights and/or motion
lights. Make sure the motion
lights are set to detect move-
ment at the point you are
trying to protect, rather than
all the pedestrians walking by
or the stray animals.
2. Use timers for inside lights
and radios to give the appearance of someone being
at home.
3. Install a monitored or unmonitored security alarm.
4. Make sure you lock the
breaker box.
HOME EXTERIOR
1. Trim back shrubbery that
hides doors or windows.
However, aggressive plants
such as thorny cactus or
bougainvillea planted under
windows or along fences
will discourage anyone from
using those areas as a point of
entry in the yard or home.
2. Do not place a chain across
your driveway or remove the
tires or place a vehicle on jacks,
indicating no one will be driving the vehicle for a while.
3. Make sure porches, entrance areas, house numbers
and yards are well lit.
4. Leave old lawn furniture
on the porch or patio if you
normally have lawn furniture
out. (Ask a neighbor to hose
it off frequently, especially
after one of those pesky monsoon dust storms!).
NEIGHBORS
1. Ask your neighbors to
watch for suspicious activity
Valley Wide • Licensed • Bonded • Insured
Lic 137074 & 137075
and pick up any fliers or articles left on your doorstep.
2. Stop delivery of the newspaper and have your mail
forwarded for the time you
will be away.
3. Leave your contact numbers with trusted neighbors
and friends in case they need
to reach you. Stay in contact
while you are away.
4. Stop by the Activities Office
and let them know you will be
gone. (Very Important!)

Village Voice of Hope
Pastor Milt
Over the years of my pastoral ministry, I have enjoyed
collecting witty quips. One such reminder is this one regarding “growth”:
“Jesus shattered all church growth records. He started
with crowds and ended up with just a few.”
Growth and development in life brings joy in success. We
desire growth in maturity, growth in business adventures and
growth in personal goals. All of these serve as a stimulus to
growth and are gifts from God.
At Springs Chapel, God has honored our faith in the purpose set for a worship ministry. Our desire is to be faithful to
God’s Word and to reach out to our community in the spirit of
Christ. We have been blessed beyond measure with growth
in attendance, growth in faith and growth in our relationship
to Christ. The challenge we live by is found in Peter’s 2nd.
Letter (3:18): “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Consider joining our non-denominational worship every
Sunday morning at 9 AM, in the SSV Auditorium and experience your personal growth in faith.

Concert

2010
By Ed Leahy
One of the favorite exercise regimens of many SSV residents is walking around the Village. There are others who prefer that mechanized version of walking -- biking around the Village. If you’re one who does either one of these things, you now have a way to do them more precisely. Jerry
Nelson, along with Ed Sondrol, marked out two walking/bicycling paths that wind their way through our Village streets. Path A is five miles long and
Path B is 3.1 miles long. Both paths are delineated with easy to follow yellow markings spray painted on the curbs along the way. They’re always on
the right side of the streets they mark. Here’s how they work.
Path A. Path A begins and ends at the intersection of Springwood and
Medina
Marker at the beginning of path A
Marker at the end of Path A
Path B. This path works its way around streets East of Springwood and
south of Medina.
Path B begins on the corner of Waddlewood and Medina near the golf pro shop.
When you see a single arrow, keep going straight ahead.
Follow the multiple single arrows around corners to make a turn. Two
arrows indicate a T-turn.
Path B ends directly across from the corner of Waddlewood where it starts.
On both paths, if you simply follow the markings we’ve illustrated in this
article, you should be able to easily navigate the course. Use the course a
few times, and navigating it will become second nature. If you want a map
of what we’ve discussed here, they’re available in the Activities Office.
“The last 50 years have
been great as thousands of
active adults have embraced
our communities. We offer
our customers the ultimate
active adult experience.
We just keep getting stronger
and building a better home,
all centered on the lifestyle
that active adults want.”

1. A recent Saturday night dance featured Myron
Summerfeld’s band playing big bands music that
is so familiar to many SSV’ers. The dance, sponsored by the Photo Club, was attended by nearly
200 dancers swinging to many types of music from
the 50’s to 70’s.
2. Two excellent comedians/musicians, Chris
Pendleton and David Levesque, entertained at the
second concert of the season. Both were not only
funny but excellent violinists as well. David was as
likely to be out in the audience as on stage with his
comedy. Then he demonstrated how to stand on his
head and fiddle while Shirley Gerkin held his ankles. Chris’ comedy was not only verbal, but included
a “half price” electronic violin to accompany her
comedy routines.
3. A recent Tuesday night concert featured Mac
Frampton, piano virtuoso, and tenor Sam Hagan. They provided an incredible broad ranging musical
concert from the classics to familiar pop melodies. The full house gave them a much deserved
standing ovation.

1. Isabelle Esposito did some
hiking in our own backyard. Late afternoon sun in the Superstitions gave enough light
to see detail in the saguaro and
shadows.
2. Vern Rolf framed some snowy
peaks with evergreen trees
in the Rocky Mountains. The
breeze created texture in the
water leading to the peak.
3. The foothills of the Superstition Mountains were highlighted with ripples of poppies.
The side light on the saguaros
and the filmy clouds also came
into view for Bob Waters.
4. Terry Brown photographed
this old wagon in Amana, Iowa.
It was overflowing with baskets
and buckets of flowers, along
with boots and butterflies.
5. Mel Eichhorst found the
slopes of McDowell Mountain
Park carpeted with yellow brittlebush blossoms and accented
by saguaros.

Jane E. Harrel, President
Jane.harrel1@cox.net
Congratulations are in
order for our new slate of
Officers for 2009-10. Taking
office this month are:
Jane Harrel – President
Ed Houk – Vice President
Operations
Sheila Bauer – Vice President
Programs
Diane Castelli – Secretary
Richard Simmon – Treasurer
They are already hard
at work getting committees
together so that our club will
run smoothly and always be
interesting. Good luck to all
of them, and thanks for your
service.
Our speaker on the second Wednesday of March
will be Gene Barlow of User
Group Relations who will be
demonstrating Acronis Backup software. This should be
a most interesting subject
as we all need to know how
to backup and save our precious pictures and family
histories.
After our election of officers at the first meeting in
February, we did some internet searching demonstrating
adding to favorites, following
links, the SSVHOA website
and more. We will probably
have time for more of that at
the March 4 meeting.
At press time, we haven’t
scheduled any presentation
by club members, but we’re
working on it. How about
you stepping up to the plate
and showing us what you like
to do on your computer?
If you are a Mac user
and haven’t joined the Special Interest Group, contact
Dick Lund at 480-373-8911
or email him at flash_lund@
msn.com. They meet twice
a month on Wednesday evenings. If Genealogy is your
hobby, contact Toni Shields
for information on her group.
Phone is 480-248-7178 or
email cutelittleblond@cox.
net. Monday evenings are
scheduled for them. Anita
Warren leads an AOL users
group. A lot of our new members are AOL users, so this
might interest you. Please
call Anita at 480-354-6275 or
email warren1a@aol.com.
The SSV Computer
Club is a great mix of users
from the inexperienced to the
guru level. Come join us on
Wednesdays at 10 AM in the
Superstition Room and get
your questions answered.
You might even learn something, but most definitely you
will have fun.
Yoga is Thriving at Ssv
Chris Marcus
This winter YOGA numbers at SSV are quite large, but
you would be amazed at how peaceful it is during our YOGA
practice. YOGA is the practice of physical postures and poses.
It creates strength and flexibility through poses with specific
benefits. Our certified instructor, Patricia Notestine, guides
us through our YOGA postures.
In addition to our YOGA practice, we have extended
our interest off the mat to other aspects of personal growth.
In February, a group of Yogis attended an Ayurveda lecture.
Ayurveda is an ancient system of health care native to India,
considered to be an alternative medicine approach in the west.
We learned to listen to our bodies to make good health choices
to meet our body’s unique needs.
Additionally, off the mat the Yogis have social gatherings/
parties during the year, such as our recent Valentine’s Party.
Come push your limits, relax your mind and join us in a
YOGA practice at SSV. Wear comfortable clothing, bring a mat
and towel. We meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the
Auditorium from 8:30 – 10 AM; the cost is $3.50 per session.
Red Hat Luncheon
Diane VandeSteeg and Marilyn
McDaniel
The “Springs Chicks”
will be going to Anzio Landing Italian Restaurant for
lunch on Thursday, March
12. Not only is the food outstanding, but the restaurant
has an interesting history.
You will have an opportunity
to learn that history as well
as to explore some of the
memorabilia from the landing
at Anzio Beachhead in Italy
during WWII. This will be
our last luncheon as a large
group, so be sure to sign up
in the Activities Office by
Monday, March 9. At that
time you will have a choice
of three entrees. Tickets are
$14 and will include tax and
gratuity. There is a limit of
40 women, so be sure to sign
up early. We will meet in the
Courtyard at 11 AM. Anzio
Landing is located at Falcon
Field on Higley Road north of
McKellips Road in Mesa.

Library
News
Jan Orr
This is just a reminder
that the SSV Library is
not an “exchange” library.
We’ve noticed that all of
the books by whole authors
are going out and not coming back. Please, if you
walk out with a book, walk
back in with it. It is very
easy to forget that you have
books from the Library
since there is no check-out
process. Please look over
your shelves to see that you
have returned all those you
have read. SSV Library
books have a white label on
the lower spine identifying
the category plus the first
three initials of the author’s
last name. Thank you for
your cooperation.
We’ve had many positive remarks about how
nice the Library is, and we
work hard to keep it that
way. If you have not had
a chance to check it out,
please do so. We have
books, magazines, movies, puzzles, books on tape
and, of course, it’s a great
place to use your wireless
computer or relax in peace
and quiet before a meeting
or activity.

Karaoke Party!
Monica Rae Stein
Love was in the air and all around as we celebrated Valentine’s Day with lots of red and pink. Monica was home sick so
Dan Radeka assisted Ivan at the head table and started off the evening with “True Love Ways” and Ivan followed with “Chantilly
Lace.” “Are the Good Times Really Over” was interpreted by
Daryl Miller. Newcomer to our parties, Mo Serva, was in great
voice with “For Once in My Life” and the girls were up with “Mr.
Sandman.” Ivan vocalized on “Earth Angel” and the guys sang
“Hold Me” (and got gonged!). Darrel Johnson chanted “Seven
Spanish Angels” followed by Dan and Ivan joining forces for
“After the Lovin’.” Lots of girls took stage for “All You Need
is Love,” “Bye Bye Love” and “Walkin’ after Midnight.” Our
‘on the scene” reporter’ said the girls got ‘gonged’ too, but she
couldn’t remember which song! Mo entertained with “It’s Now
or Never.” Judi Ofelt teamed up with Daryl Miller for “Hey
Good Lookin’,” and with Roy Brandli for “Save the Last Dance
for Me.” The guys did [“I just] called to say I Love You” and
Darrel Johnson yodeled “Cattle Call.”
Wayne Havelka crooned “Strangers in the Night” and
Dan chanted “Unchained Melody.” Ivan was “Stuck on You”
and sang about “Gina.” Daryl sang about the famous “Marie
Laveau” and Darrel gave us “Streets of Laredo” and “Walk
on By.” Dan and Ivan sang “Elvira” by request of our line
dancers and Dan vocalized on “L-O-V-E.” Ivan enticed Mo
to join him for “Hooked on a Feeling.”
Upcoming parties are scheduled for Friday, March 6 and
April 10 from 7 - 9 PM in the Superstition Room. Faith and
Begorra! We’re going green for our March 6 party in celebration
of St. Patty’s Day. Admission is only $1 and everyone is invited.
Bring your own drinks and a snack to share. You just never know
what to expect, except a good time and lots of laughs.
Ladies 18-Hole Golf
Karen Haifley
Another great season is winding down. How quickly the winter months fly by! Remember, ladies, the cutoff date to sign up for the Golf Tournament is March 10. It will be held on
Tuesdays, March 17 and 24. The Banquet will be Thursday, March 26 at Noon in the Superstition Room. Not only will the awards be presented, but election of next year’s officers will
take place. If you are unable to play in the tournament, come join us at the banquet. Be sure
to check the bulletin board for all notices and further details. We hope to see you there!
Low Impact Aerobics
Rita Vautrin
Why do women need resistance training?
SSV’s Low Impact Aerobics class emphasizes not only
cardio training but also resistance training. Join us Tuesday and
Thursday morning from 7:30 - 8:30 AM in the Auditorium to
strengthen your heart, muscles and bones. Resistance training
is the unglamorous side of exercising, but it is as important has
cardio training. The two biggest reasons are weight management and increased bone density. Studies have shown that if a
woman strength trains two to three times a week for eight weeks,
she will gain 1.75 lbs. of muscle and lose 3.5 lbs. of fat. The
other advantage of an increased muscle mass is that one pound
of muscle burns 35-50 more calories than one pound of fat. As
a tool against osteoporosis, strength training can increase spinal
bone mineral density by 13% in six months. In addition, as you
get stronger with strength training, you feel younger and have
more confidence as you can still perform tasks that were so easy
several years ago. Cardio is more enjoyable than lifting weights,
but strength training has more benefit for the same time spent
exercising. If you have any questions, call me at 634-4784.

Homeowners Association
Monthly Manager Meeting
Minutes- Jan. 27, 2009
Ssv Auditorium
Presenter: John Lippert, SSV HOA Manager
Jeff Decker-Vice President SSV HOA Board
*****
The Sunland Springs Village HOA Manager Master HOA
Meeting was called to order at 9:57AM. Mr. Lippert noted
the SSV Townhome HOA and Golf III HOA meeting would
follow the Master HOA meeting in the Auditorium.
Manager’s Report- John Lippert provided the December 2008
and yearend financial report. Those who have not received
their Annual Assessment Bill need to contact John as soon as
possible. Payments were due at Rossmar & Graham by January
15, 2009 or late fees and penalties would be assessed.
John explained that nearly $500,000 of the annual assessment
fees were received in November and December and those
funds were deposited in a system of laddered certificate deposits at FDIC financial institution. Because of a change in
accounting procedures this year Rossmar & Graham will be
reporting the assessment fees as 2009 maintenance fee income
rather than as 2008 income.
The Builder Subsidy was under budget due to reduced costs;
transfer fees and working capital were down because of fewer
homes being sold; and the Cox revenue share. Explaining differences on the expense side: landscaping was down because
of slower development in the new section; propane costs were
up due to price increases and cable costs were down because
of fewer home sales than planned.
Other manager project updates:
-A new commercial grade salt system with 4 cells is being
installed in the main pool, thanks to the funding from Bingo
of $11,135.
-The 2009 Resident directory should be received from the pub-
lisher in late February or early March. Because of advertising
income this year’s directory will be free to the residents.
-Billiards has a new scoreboard paid for by funds from Billiards and Bingo.
-A built-in shelf has been installed in the Springs Card room
to allow for two additional playing tables.
-The Tennis Club has added 4 new octagonal tables near
court 2 and 3 after receiving approval from the Recreation
and Facility committee on placement.
-Jerry Nelson has plotted out a 3.1mile and 5 mile walking course
around the village. Maps are available in the Activity Office.
-The annual club/group and association meeting will be held
February 4 at 1PM in the Superstition room. This is when
forms for signing up for rooms etc. will be distributed. Someone from each group or club needs to attend.
-The annual HOA meeting will be held Wednesday, February
25, 2009 at 6:30PM in the Auditorium. Sign-in is at 6PM.
Craig Ahlstrom, President of the HOA will preside. Each
Chairperson of the SSV standing committees will present an
update at that time.
-We now have a new cleaning crew. The old one was replaced
because of service issues. Let John know as soon as possible if you see any problems so that they can be addressed
promptly.
Questions and Comments:
Will there be a map included in the new directory? The directory should include a map and this directory will have listings
by name and by street so that you can lookup your neighbor
easier. John again said the directory would be free.
How did the $500 referral fee do? Jeff Decker explained that
approximately 5 to7 homes may have qualified and that funds
will be moved when the homes close.
Can stop signs be added to streets intersecting Wattlewood
from the west, cars just go through the intersection and this has
become hazardous to bicyclists and cars? Since these are city
streets John will contact Mesa and see what can be done.
Resident Jan Jelley thanked Jeff for getting the palm tree
fronds back on the cell phone tower.
Jeff’s Report:
The January Open house went very well. A February event is
planned and will include Cub Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins.
December sales numbers were better and Farnsworth is proud
to be a solid company. As a whole the community is looking
very good. Jeff said he appreciated John and his great job
and the great help received from the various residents and
committees.
There are over 100 volunteers in the Architecture, Building,
Communication, Finance, Landscape, Recreation/Facility and
Security committees. This year because of term limits there
are openings on all the committees. Let John know if you
are interested in participating and fill out the form available
at the office. New committees start March 1.
Watch for news about the Annual SSV Resident Barbeque.
Tickets will be at the Sales Office starting February 1. Residents are allowed to bring a guest to share the fun.
Jeff gave an update on the SE corner of Signal Butte and
Baseline. The parking lot is being paved and Walgreen will
start their building first. The Compass bank will then follow.
There is no information on any other tenants yet.
There being no further questions or comments the meeting
ended 10:20 AM.

Doug Mattock, a superb banjo master with a musical duo, comes
storming out of southern California with one of the happiest
sounds in all music. His virtuosity on stringed instruments is

His wonderful down home sense of humor is as infectious as his
playing style. With a swinging back-up duo he will set rhythms
that will reach the musical souls in everyone and leave you
cheering.
Deborah Offenhauser is one of Arizona’s most prolific musicians. With her strong playing style and her delightful personality she will enrapture all. Be ready for a truly enjoyable evening
of the most familiar melodies in the American songbook. The
