On The Managers MindBy: John Lippert, HOA ManagerCommittees and Volunteers

In the February Village Voice I reported that the terms of office of several of the members of the committees that run the HOA were ending in March. I put out a call for volunteers to fill the openings, and, as always, you came forward.

We have seven committees plus an Advisory Committee made up of the chairper-sons of each of the other committees, plus a member or two at large, and Jeff Decker, Vice President of the official Board of Directors of the Sunland Springs Village HOA. Although Farnsworth has ultimate responsibility for the HOA, this committee system is responsible for making almost all decisions about the community, and it has been in place since 2003. It was successful from the beginning, and it continues to be as every year new people volunteer to serve, new residents and long time residents alike.

The 2012 Committees and their members are listed below. The Chairperson is designated by a C, the Vice Chairperson, if any, by a V, and the Recording Secretary, if any, by an R.

Many thanks to all these committee members. They are a great group to work with.Openings can arise at any time on these committees. If you think you might be

interested in joining a committee, come to the office and pick up a committee packet. It describes each of the committees and includes an application form. Being a committee member is a great way to get involved with your community.Time to Paint?

We see many people repainting their homes, especially in the older sections. The Architecture Committee asked me to remind you that, if you are changing the color of the house, you must submit an Architectural Change Request for approval of your new paint colors. You can get the Change Request form in the Activities Office, and, while you’re there, pick up a list of approved paint colors. If you choose from that list, your Change Request will be approved, but you are not limited to those colors. If you select colors not on the list, you must submit color samples along with the Change Request. The Committee does not dictate what colors you can use. It just wants to ensure the colors you have chosen fit well in the neighborhood.

We are also seeing people coating their driveways. In this case we don’t have a list of approved colors, but we need to know if the driveway will be a single color or multi-colored, and we need a general description of the colors. For driveways, the committee is ensuring the colors are compatible with your house colors.

SSV Book ClubBy: Peggy Schafer

New participants are always welcome for SSV Book Club discussions. On Friday April 6 we will meet in the Majestic Card Room at 1:30 PM to discuss Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, a novel by Jamie Ford. Set in Seattle, this beautifully written book explores the damage to hearts and humanity caused by war, but promises that even the most painful experiences may eventually yield something sweet.

The next Book Club meeting will be in November. A list of titles and dates for next year’s discussions will be available next month.

Computer ClubBy: Jane E. Harrel, President

We are in our last month of regular weekly meetings and programs. Then we will enter our summer schedule of meeting the first and third Wednesdays May through September. As always, we will meet in the Superstition Room at 10:00 AM on Wednesdays.

The AZ Association of Computer Clubs (AZACC) met at Fort McDowell for three days the end of March. You will get

a full report in this column next month.April’s programs are:

April 4: Home security: How your computer can keep watch over the summer (or whenever you are away.April 11: Lifelock through AZACCApril 18: Jerry Rogan on iPads and TabletsApril 25: Steve Heyer on Windows 8

Starting in October, we will be meeting in the new San Tan Rooms in the new rec center. Just go south on Springwood and you will run right into the parking lot. The building is on your right. If you have not seen the new facility, take a Sunday drive and check it out. It’s going to be neat!! The great thing is we will have access to the warming kitchen, so refreshments are not out of the question in the future.

Be sure to go to SSVCC.com to see what programs are scheduled. We are always having to make changes and this is the most up to date place to check. Also, don’t forget the MAC group meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. If you have a MAC computer, this is the place to be.

SSV Ceramics ClubBy: Mary Burke, Secretary

The Ceramics Club is enjoying a growing membership, and we are having a great time as we get together to free our talents in one of the oldest expressions of art. You would be amazed at what you can do with a paint brush or a lump of clay. Examples of our work can be seen in the Four Peaks Room and range from acrylic and glazing techniques using molded green-ware, bisque or hand-built pieces to painting on gourds and glass work.

We are currently holding classes in a variety of techniques including the basics of cleaning greenware, learning dry brush and translucent painting methods, creating a fish from clay and hand-building a beautiful clay flower. We also have a class scheduled for working with fused glass. A complete schedule and sign-up sheets can be found in the Four Peaks Room during open class hours.

If you are a long time ceramicist or new to ceramics, we welcome you to join us to share your knowledge or to learn a new twist on an old technique. The SSV Ceramics Club holds open classes in the Four Peaks Room on a regular schedule throughout the year: Monday evenings from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to noon. In addition to a yearly membership fee, a very modest class fee ($2.00) gives you access to all supplies and firings.

For additional information, please contact JoAnne Chapin at 480-380-2302.

SSV Writers ClubBy: Nan Miller

Since its formation November 10, 2011, the SSV Writers Club has grown to over a dozen members. The group ranges from novice writers to those who have published books. Some enjoy composing nonfiction while others concentrate on fic-tion. The main draws for our members are meeting with others interested in writing and learning how to improve their craft.

We decide each time on a brief exercise to compose between sessions. At the meetings, we share our words. Those who don’t want to work on the designated assignment bring something else on which they are working. Sharing written copies is always an option. Critiques are available on all writing.

We always meet the first and third Thursdays in the Summit Card Room (behind the Majestic Card Room) from 10 AM to noon. In April, our sessions are the 5th and 19th. This group has no fees and charges no dues.

The group is so compatible that friendships are being made. They had a party March 25th at Nan’s house and brought their spouses and significant others.

Nan Miller, a professional travel writer, is coordinator. For questions or if you would like to attend our group, call her at (480) 984-1852.

Attention Arizona Homeowners!WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?

Are you tired of roofing salesman knocking at your door?

The increased need for roof repairs has attracted“out of state”roofers, known as‘STORMERS.”

Many of these STORMERS are not licensed nor authorized to do business in Arizona and often use emergency repair situations to take advantage of homeowners. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors has referred to some STORMERS as “transient criminals.” Some of the STORMERS have tried to avoid the licensing problemby soliciting Arizona Contractors to“rent”a valid license to operate in Arizona. Any Arizona contractor who engages in such an activity is at risk to have his or her license suspended or revoked.

BEFORE YOU HIRE A ROOFING CONTRACTOR, ask these questions:Is the roofer licensed in Arizona, bonded and insured?

Is your roofer experienced and reputable—will he do the job right?If you have warranty issues, will the roofer be here next year, or will he be back in another state?

We are an Arizona company, ran with Arizona employees.We are not an out-of-state roofer,nor are we partnered with an out-of-state roofer. We will be here for you in the future.

So, if you need a roof repair, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?

PARAMOUNT ROOFING, LLC—480-292-7929for a free estimate by a local, licensed, bonded, and insured roofer. ROC 266468

Let’s keep Arizona money in Arizona and give you piece of mind for the future!

Village VoicesBy: Jane E. Harrel

The Village Voices wish to thank all of you for coming to our spring concert “CELEBRATE.” The music was rousing and well received, especially the song written especially for us by our Director, Judy Herr. It is called “Arizona Livin’,” and may become our theme song. Our finale was the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and we gave it our all.

If you were in attendance, you will be happy to learn that our member who had an medical emergency during the concert is doing quite well. The decorum you sported dur-ing the situation was outstanding. We are very lucky to have Giovanna Richardson as a member of our soprano section. Her quick action, control and care of the patient until the Fire Department and ambulance arrived was excellent.

To finish out the year, the Chorus and their spouses were treated to a pizza feed “on the house.” You will have to wait a month to find out who our new officers are, as they have not been elected at press time. At least that will give me something to write about next month.

SSV Variety ShowBy: Doris Havelka

This year’s variety show was a sold out performance of a very fun and entertaining show. Yes, we had a couple acts seen before that the crowd loves, such as the accordion player (Jack Heiligenthal) and the saw player (Dean Holmes). We also had spoofs, comedy acts, singers, dancers, a poem recited, musical instruments and even a synchronized swim routine that left people in tears of laughter.

Quoting Don O’Reilly, “This year’s Variety Show was probably the best one yet, and it truly had a variety of acts. I really enjoyed it.” An-other lady said she almost didn’t come but with the promise of new acts, she and her husband came and were glad they did. They said, “This year it was fun and a couple of the acts were hilarious. We can’t wait to see what you guys do next year.” Holly Pake said she laughed so hard her stomach hurt! Bob Miller from Sunland East said “This was a great show, and your Halloween dance was fun too. We wish they had good stuff like this in our community.”

At the cast party several of the entertainers said they were looking forward to next year and were talking about what we could do to top this year’s show. We are already gathering ideas, names and phone numbers for next year, so please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

The Karaoke Club wishes to thank all of you for your support and appreciate your comments. We are looking forward to another fantastic show next March! If you enjoyed this year’s show, just wait until next year!

Elaine PalmerBy Jackie Muller, 354-8336

After leading a busy life as a farm couple in Minnesota, Elaine Palmer and her husband, John, followed the advice of her sister and began wintering in Arizona. “There’s nothing to com-pare to the social life at

the Springs,” declares Elaine. When she’s not busy with her favorite sport (shopping), she participates in yoga, pickle ball, sewing, and golf. Little wonder that she has made so many friends here.

One of the dishes that she shares at parties is easy and delicious:

TANGY ALMOND CHICKEN KABOBS

Combine:1 T Dijon mustard1 T Honey1 T Canola oil1 T Lemon Juice4 Skinless, boneless chicken breasts

cubed or cut in strips

Marinate for at least 1 hour turning chicken occasionally. Preheat grill and lightly oil grate. Soak wooden skewers in water for approximately 20 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers. Place on heated, prepared grill for 7-10 minutes until meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear. Brush occasionally, with remaining marinade while cooking. Remove from heat and quickly roll in ¼ C toasted almonds to lightly coat the chicken. Discard remaining marinade.

The ClassicsPictures and Caption by Bob Card

“The Classics” program celebrated the music of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin on the stage on Valentines’ Day. Lots of memo-ries in songs from the sixties and seventies were brought to us by Bob Saulsbury and Ron Christianson with colorful stage settings. Several ladies in the audience were serenaded including Jan Jelley pictured here.

Why Winter Residents Should Be In A Block Watch

By: Ed Leahy, Chairman Security CommitteeIf you are a winter visitor who is not a member of a neighborhood watch, then

this article is aimed at you. First, it is not your duty to join one—it is simply in your best interest. This is especially true for a part time resident because you leave your home unoccupied for many months at a time increasing the odds that something untoward might happen.

Now, for the good news: All it takes to belong to a neighborhood watch is a willingness to get to know your neighbors. That way, if you are away, a neighbor can remove things hung on your security door; hide one of the many versions of the Yellow Pages left on our doorsteps; or any other signal that you are not home for extended periods of time. This can be just the kind of house that might invite a break-in. Break-ins that can be prevented by neighbors looking out for each other.

But, you might say, no neighborhood network of support can give a 100% guarantee to stop a de-termined thief. While that maybe true, since the inception of our Neighborhood Watch program, SSV is designated a low crime area, but we can’t afford to get complacent. In order to keep little or nothing untoward happening here, we should keep our neighborhood watch program vital and refreshed.

If you think that you can only play a part-time roll in a block watch, remember—it is in your best interest to be a part of this important network of support. If you have email, your group can keep you up-to-date on what is going on at SSV no matter where you are.

So, if you want to join a neighborhood watch before you leave this year, contact Karen Stegenga, Crime Prevention Officer of the Mesa Police. Either email [email protected] or call 480.644.5014.

A Rounder’s RamblingsBy: Linda McAteer

The Season: As a new Rounder, I’ve discovered the difference between summer and winter is not just the weather. It is weekend traffic for the swap meet backed up to the highway ramp; it’s parking lots full after 9 a.m.; it’s an hour long wait at any restaurant from breakfast through dinner, and, yes, it’s slow, crowded roads which add 30 minutes to any errand I need to run. The Village streets are packed with walkers, bikers, and golf carts, so I’ve taken to using the Guadalupe Road exit to get out of the Village by car. Do you know what the good part is though? Everyone is smiling.

My calendar is packed. I work part-time so I only have time for Ponytail Canasta on Monday’s at the “Big House” (as the players call the main card room) and a Friday game in my neighborhood. As a Townhomer, we have our Friday Happy Hour right after canasta. The first Friday of every month I attend the Book Club and Karaoke Club, too. Recently, I decided to help out with these activities, so I’m leading book discussions, and I have learned to operate the karaoke equipment. Of course there are all the dances and parties that I love to attend.

One of my Rounder friends once wondered aloud if a person could take a day off from retirement. I have decided the best I can do is just sit and gather wool every once in a while, but right now I’m off to the Fitness Center!

Village Voice Of HopeBy: Pastor Milton Zeeb

Springs Chapel is grateful for the privilege to be SSV-Worship Ministry. It is our desire in ministry to declare the whole Gospel of Christ the Lord; He is The Foundation of our Worship! The message we declare every Sunday of the year is fundamentally based on the Easter message of life! The N.T. does not record a particular Sunday observed to celebrate Easter or the Resurrection. The Celebration of Easter Sunday was decided by the Council of Nicea-A.D. 325 and has since been so observed in honor of the Risen Christ.

The early Christian Church was led to celebrate Easter Sunday as a weekly celebration by determining that the first day of the week is “The Lord’s Day.” It is now the day in Worship. The foundational truth of the Gospel of Christ was completed in his Death, Burial and Resurrection. The Apostle Paul confirmed this in writing the Corinthian Church, “If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.” (II-Cor.15:14)

Easter is celebrated powerfully in the Spring Season of the year when new life is beautifully displayed in nature and experienced in man’s worship of the Resurrected Savior. He gives life eternal! As a resident and/or visitor to SSV, you are invited to join in Springs Chapel Worship of the Resur-rected Jesus, every Sunday of the year at 9:00 AM in SSV Auditorium.

You are invited to attend Good Friday Worship at 5:00 PM observing the Lord’s Supper. Easter Sunday Worship will have superb piano and organ accompaniment by Sylvia Hansen and Judy Herr; Chapel Choir and hymns sung by the Congregation. Be blessed in hearing the Message of Resurrection and Complimentary Easter Coffee Fellowship immediately following Worship. We pray for each of you and your family a Blessed Easter!

By: Barbara OhlerThe SSV Quilt Club will be hosting the annual AZ Blan-

kets 4 Kids Sewing Bee on Saturday, April 14, 2012, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM in the Auditorium.

This is always a fun event that we look forward to each year. If you would like to help sew, just bring your sewing machine. Sewing kits and fabrics will all be provided. There are also other projects that do not require a sewing machine if you would prefer to work on those.

Bible StudyBy: Ardella Burtman

A community Bible Study is held every Friday morning at 9 AM in the Superstition Room. Everyone is welcome to attend. This is an interdenominational study, open to men and women. We are careful to keep the class to one hour. Bring any translation of the Bible you prefer to use. There is no charge for the class and no book to buy – the Bible is our study guide with use of commentaries by trusted Christian writers.

The Bible Study continues throughout the summer months. The only days during the year we do not meet are official holidays, such as the 4th of July, Christmas Day, etc.

On November 4, 2011, we began a study of the book of Mark facilitated by an excellent teacher, Marshall Poling. We anticipate this class will be finished within the month, at which time we will likely continue our study of Genesis that we interrupted to study the book of Mark. We do not adhere to a strict schedule with our classes, but proceed as time and comments permit.

You are invited to join us for our Friday Bible Studies. Even if you have/or will miss some classes, you are welcome. Naturally, there is some building of content one class on the next, but also, in a sense, each class stands alone.

If you have any questions about the Bible Study, please call Ardella Burtman at 480.993.3102.

Sunland Springs Village International Art Studio And Avalanche Avoidance TrainingA WORD FROM THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF MARKETING THE HONORABLE RALPH LIPSCHITZ: Now

listen up you SSV people. You’re giving us big headaches here at the Home Office. We’ve been spending very large ad-vertising dollars trying to get you guys to develop a burning yearning so that you finally discover that you really are better than your neighbors because you’re just sooooo creative. However, there appears to be some resistance to our Grand Plan. This is not a good thing. We have one full wing of the studio that is still not fully occupied. And, it just so happens to be the one nearest the Piano Bar. Go figure

Therefore, I should tell you that the dreaded “black helicopters” are fully fueled, oiled up and ready to begin their intimidating hovering over your homes until you finally come to your senses and sign up for the best painting classes in Arizona…well Maricopa County…ok,ok, east of Signal Butte. Geez. It seems to me that if your Beloved Art Instructor is willing to drag her butt out of a warm comfortable bed two mornings a week just to make your life a little better, the least you could do is show up now and then (and bring money). She doesn’t really want to unleash the aircraft and fill the airspace over your residences with rapidly spinning blades, but she could be pushed to it. Now nothing has been said about machine guns of any type or caliber. A word to the wise...

So if you want to really get happy, sign up today. Then, maybe things here at the corporate headquarters will simmer down, and I, Ralph Lipschitz, will be able to get back to chasing short-skirted secretaries. I know I still want to, but I’m not quite sure just why. At least I won’t have as many headaches.

Classes 9:00 to Noon Mondays or 9:00 to Noon Wednesdays.$12 per class or 4 classes for $42.

Billiards ClubBy: Jane E. Harrel, Secretary

Congratulations to our Mixed Doubles tournament win-ners. Each team played every other team once, and each team had a bye. After the dust cleared, Ralph Laurel and Mo Serva came in first winning ten of 12 games. Second place went to Dan Olenik and Diane Sawyer. The third place team had to win a tie breaker, but Gene Johnson and Linda Bisted bested those other guys.

Couples 18-Hole Golf League

By: Allen and Carol SchaefferWell, March went out like a lion in many parts of the

north, but it didn’t affect us much here except for occasional wind and some morning cold. Nothing keeps us intrepid golfers off the rapidly improving nines. If you were going to antagonize your snowbound Snow Belt friends and neighbors, March was the month to do it. From all indications, it is shap-ing up to be a short winter (except in Alaska).

March was tournament month for couples golf. Follow-ing an early March burger/fish night hosted by the Kahlers, Don O’Toole and his committee treated us to three weeks of fun, competitive golf and relaxing socials culminating with the “Tournament Banquet” on March 23. March was also the coronation month for the new Couples Golf board. Neither the tournament scores nor the new board member names were available as this article went to press. We will have all the win-ners and board details in the May Voice edition. Stay tuned.

We continue to be very grateful for the many, many club volunteers whose on-site and behind-the-scenes contributions make our playing and social programs work so well.

All couples living in SSV may join our club. If inter-ested, please call any of the Board members. The contact information, social calendar, club rules and regulations and other material can be found in the “Golf Shack,” which is the middle door on the south side of the Pro Shop building. New members are always welcome.

ShuffleboardBy Mary Lou Lange

SSV District 4 Shuffleboard Leagues completed their league play in February. The SSV Superstition League team placed fifth out of six places and the SSV Eagles team placed third.

The District 4 Shuffleboard League playoffs were held on February 21, 22, and 23, 2012. SSV hosted this event. Dis-trict 4 consists of nine leagues of six teams with eight players each. The winning team from each league met and played in a round-robin format. The first-place winner, from Golden Vista Resort, competed at the state level at Montesa Resort in Gold Canyon on February 27. District 1 represented by Val Vista Park won the state championship.

Open shuffleboard is held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 9 AM. Please try to arrive by 8:45 AM to help clean the boards and get your board assignment. Remember to wear your nametag. Any questions, please call Bill Iverson at 354-8427 or Louis Furtaw at 307-6571.

The Spirit Of YogaBy: Christine K. Marcus

Some come to YOGA for the physi-cal exercise. Others come to YOGA for the additional mind/body connection, as well as the meditation and relaxation at the end of each class. YOGA can be meditation in motion. That is what makes YOGA unique to other forms of ex-

ercise. It is the spirit of YOGA that gets seasoned yogis to return to class to enjoy the stretching, strength, balance poses and stress relieving abilities that YOGA can offer.

Research shows that moving can be a way to alleviate back pain. Staying flexible and increasing balance with YOGA is a way to achieve that goal.

Although YOGA is done in a group class, it is a very personalized practice on your own, individual mat. Our experienced and certified instructors offer modifications to honor old or new injuries.

Come join us for a YOGA class, as we continue all year! Mondays, Wednesdays and

Fridays from 8:30 to 10:00 AM in the auditorium. Wear clothes to move in, bring a yoga mat, towel or blanket and strap. Yoga is done barefoot! Cost is $3.50 per session. Questions? Call Christine 480.986.6092.

Homeowners Association (SSVHOA) Annual Meeting

Sign-In 6:00 PM, Start 6:30PM Wednesday, February 22, 2012Sunland Springs Village Auditorium2240 S Springwood Ave, Mesa, ArizonaPresent: - SSVHOA Chairman and Farnsworth Corporation President Craig Ahlstrom- SSVHOA Board member Jeff Decker (Vice President of Farnsworth) - Rossmar & Graham Corporate Representative and Senior Vice President- Kirk Kowieski- SSVHOA Manager John Lippert of Rossmar & Graham Absent: SSVHOA Board member and Secretary/Treasurer David Palmer (who is also the Chief Financial Officer for Farnsworth.) A quorum of residents as verified by the Rossmar & Graham Community Association Management Company was present.The Sunland Springs Village Homeowners Annual meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM by Jeff Decker-Vice President of the HOA, and Vice-President of the Farnsworth Development Company. Mr. Decker welcomed everyone and thanked them for their continued support of their HOA. He announced that proper meeting notice was given in accordance with the Arizona legal statutes for a meeting and confirmed that a quorum of 10 percent of HOA members was present. Owners of 201 units were present exceeding the total minimum quorum requirement. He reported that earlier the 2011 meeting minutes had been published in the SSV Village Voice, made available on the SSV internet site and were posted on the HOA office bulletin board. Mr. Al Dykstra made a motion that the 2011 minutes be approved; Mr. Jim Palfini seconded the motion. Motion carried and the minutes were accepted.Mr. Decker next introduced Mr. Kirk Kowieski, Vice President of Rossmar & Graham’s (RMG) Life Style Division. Mr. Kowieski explained his division is composed of RMG’s 12 largest communities. SSV has teamed with RMG for 12 years and RMG looks forward to continuing this valued relationship. In noting the extremely good history of the SSVHOA Accounts Receivables, he announced two planned service enhancements. They include a new E statement which can be sent via email and a system that provides a no cost collection of delinquent accounts. In 2012 the 12 largest RMG communities Activities Directors’ (including our own Janet West) will meet to share ideas and develop the Lifestyle Service Group (LSG). These 12 communities will also have increased buying power for entertainers, seminars and other special activities. The LSG will also work with the other 300 RMG managed com-munities for additional financial benefits. Mr. Decker explained the current membership of the SSVHOA Board. They are Craig Ahlstrom, SSVHOA Chairman and Farnsworth Corporation Presi-dent, Dave Palmer, SSVHOA Board member and Secretary/Treasurer of the Farnsworth Corporation and himself, Vice President of the HOA. At some point additional members could be added to the board and it will be turned over to the homeowners, but for now the seven committees of the Advisory Group are learning what it takes to manage a large community like SSV and ‘advising’ the Board on the preferences of the homeowners. It was explained that when residents have a concern or suggestion it is presented to John Lippert, Association Manager. He then takes it to the ap-propriate committee; the committee evaluates the item and recommends or declines the proposal. Recommendations are presented to the full Advisory Group which reviews them further and if approved presents to them to the SSV Board. Jeff noted this system has worked extremely well and is not aware of any decisions that have been overturned by HOA Board.Committee members serve for 2 years and there is a two term limit. Then you must take a one year break from that particular committee, but you are welcome to join another committee. If you are interested in volunteering on a committee you can get an application at the Activity office or see John Lippert for one.Jeff next acknowledged the many volunteers that help keep SSV such a great place to live and play. Special kudos’s were given to the Table and Chairs Committee, the Activity Office Volunteers, the Bingo and Softball volunteers, pool monitors, Village Voice newsletter staff, the Holiday light display and so many other folks. Jeff asked those in the audience to stand if they are volunteers and more than half of them stood.Jeff also reminded folks to be sure to pick up the Annual Farnsworth BBQ tickets at the Sales Office. The BBQ will be held at the Golf Pro Shop Driv-ing Range on Wednesday, March 7 at 12 noon.ACTIVITY DIRECTOR REPORT Janet West provided an overview of all the Activity Office:She began her work in Sept.1999 when there were 100 homes and about 200 people. In 2012 there are almost 2000 homes and 3500 people.There are 76 clubs and special interest groups with a Writers club and Wood-carver group just recently started.The 2011-2012 Season saw over 5000 room reservation requests and saw over 240,000 attendees at the various functions. These numbers do not include the Billiards, Bocce, Woodshop, Softball Field, Tennis, Swimming and other specialty facilities. That would run the number over 300,000.This season the Concert Series was replaced with seven Cabaret shows.None of these activities would work without the20 individuals who volunteer every week in the officeTable and Chair crew –no other community has one like oursSoftball group that help with the two annual yard sales and provide the concession stands at various functions.Tennis club that provides traffic control at special events like the Christmas Golf Cart Parade and the Antique Car show.Bingo has three different teams that rotate throughout the month and contribute all those funds back to the community.The teachers of the various classes held.It has been reported that a volunteer’s time in Arizona is worth $19.49/ hour. Our Office volunteers alone save us over $40,000 per year.In closing, Janet reminded everyone that they get out of the community what they put into it and thanked everyone who has participated.Annual Advisory Committee Chairperson’s reportsThe current committee chairs provided an overview and update on their com-mittee’s work. HOA members who wish to join a committee were urged to complete a volunteer application. Members serve staggered limited terms. The committees choose their chairperson and that person represents their committee on the Advisory Board. The Advisory Board meets monthly. There are almost 60 volunteers participating in the Advisory Board Committees.Members of the SSVHOA Advisory Board, who would be giving individual committee reports, are: Architecture Committee-Ralph Stokes; Buildings Committee-Fred Kramer; Communications Committee-JoAnne Chapin; Finance Committee-Doy Gillespie; Landscape Committee-Jerry Nelson; Recreational Facilities Committee-Max Tiede; and Security Committee-Michael Tucker. Committee Reports:Architect Committee: Chairman Ralph Stokes first recognized the members of the committee: Karen Bulkley, Becki Burch, Helen Denney, John Herr, Laurie Gordon, and Nancy Kadlec. The committee meets the first and third

Tuesday of each month. Ralph stressed that residents complete the Architec-tural Change Request Form and submit them for approval BEFORE making any changes to their property. Copies of the Architectural Policy Manual are available on the SSVHOA.com website or at the Activity Office. Ralph rec-ommended that we have printed copies of the manual available and to REFER to them when any change or update is planned for your home. The Commit-tee continues to be pleased with the cooperation it receives from residents. In 2011 the committee continued to see requests to repaint the exteriors of homes, change existing landscape, add satellite dishes; paint driveways and add solar panels. Ralph wanted to caution residents regarding contractors soliciting business door to door. He also reminded us that we are a NO so-liciting community. The committee is always looking for residents willing to volunteer and serve. Building Committee Member Fred Kramer presented on behalf of Chairman Dave Latta, recognizing his fellow committee members: Jim Palfini (Re-corder), Pete Crocenzi, Joe Ricci, Sherlan Baker, John Baxter, Rod Hoflick and Kathy Thompson, The Building Committee is charged with the inspec-tion of existing buildings and exterior walls on a semi-annual basis. If there are any requests for changes to the facilities they must come to the Building Committee. Recent improvements included the Tennis storage building; remodel of the sport court area restrooms, soffit repairs and updating the ventilation for the ceramics kiln room.There is currently a full committee now but with term limits there will be several openings next year. Communication Committee Chairperson JoAnne Chapin acknowledged her committee members:Sheila Bauer, Paul Leber, Phil Plato, Richard Newman outgoing members Bob Gray and Jane Harrell and returning new member Allen Schaeffer. The areas of responsibility include:Channel 22 –providing reminders of upcoming activities and special presenta-tions such as the 50th Anniversary celebration.Village Voice-the monthly newsletter of the Village available in print and at SSVHOA.comAuditorium-providing training and assistance in the usage of the audio/visual equipment.SSVforum –this is a web neighborhood ‘blog’ that shares information within the village. Information for sign-up is available at the Activity Office.SsvEnews- is the ‘official’ information “blog” for the HOA Application and information is available at the Activity Office.SSVHOA.com-is the HOA website and includes access to the newsletter, information on activities and many other Village resources and club “splash” pages.Directory-the annual listing ( and monthly updates) of residents Wireless Communication Expansion-Providing internet service across the HOA facilities with the assistance of the Computer Club.Besides the official committee members there are a lot of Ad Hoc residents who donate their time and talent in specific areas. If you are interested in sharing your talents and volunteering, please apply at the Activity Office.Landscape Committee: Chairman Jerry Nelson explained the responsibility of the Landscape Committee is to ensure the Master Association landscaped areas are in the best possible condition. This is accomplished by monitoring and identifying problems and recommending repairs and enhancements. They try to maintain a standard for the community that makes our village and attractive place to live. Committee members include Robert Fischer, Emmet Kirscht, Steve Minker, Mary Catherine Myers, Bob Myers, Jim Smith, and Terry Steinkruger. Fortunately, this past year there was very little damage to the Village from the Haboob storms and this has been very beneficial to our budget. Farnsworth personnel helped with cleanup of 5,280 feet on the outside of the east wall along what will become Meridian. The HOA is now responsible for keeping this area clean. Trash dumping on the east side of the wall is illegal. Addi-tional granite rock was applied around the Village to help keep that area dust and weed free. These projects plus the regular oversight of the landscape have kept the Committee busy. If you see problems during the week call our HOA Office at 354-8758 or on weekends call Rossmar and Graham at 480-551-4300 so they can be addressed.Finance Committee: Chairman Doy Gillespie acknowledged the Finance Committee members: Max Warren, Fran Davidson, Gene Lutter, Burt Marcus and new member Bob Nielsen. Bill Barker and Howard Littell will be leaving at the end of the month due to term limitations. Doy then presented the highlights of 2011 Financial Statements distributed early in the meeting. The HOA was all most self sufficient in 2011 as the Farnsworth subsidy was only $13,500. The 2012 Budget calls for no Builder Subsidy. The HOA received a $67,849 rebate from Cox because of the many bundled services of the residents and because of the contract with Cox where we also we enjoy a 40% reduction on the cost of basic cable. Operating expenses in 2011 were $1,050,000. The Reserve Fund which provides for long-term updates and replacements of assets has is a very good 98% funding or $949,000 balance. The Village Enhancement Fund consists of profits from activities and various commissions from Terra Travel, the newspaper, re-cycled paper and other sources. These funds along with Bingo funds; individual Clubs monies and labor from various groups helped provide the Sparklelite drapes for the auditorium; the tennis storage building; trees and concrete pads for the Dog Park; Softball Field signs; updated Christmas decorations; Remodeling of restrooms at the Tennis Courts; 8 additional tables for the Textile Arts and a park bench for the Olla Basin. Special thanks go out to Bingo which has provided over $140,000 to these and numerous community projects since it started 5 years ago.The 2012 Budget closely tracks the 2011 Actual expenses with the addition of 6 months of costs to operate the new Santan Recreational Complex currently under construction and which will be opened this summer. Recreational Facilities Committee (RFC): Chairman Max Tiede thanked his committee composed of Carol Boots, Mavis Carver, Connie Gonzalez, Jerry Mason, Angie Reiter, Chris Stricklett, and Deena Warren for all their efforts. Special thanks were given to Roy Brandli who is leaving do to term limits. The RFC assesses current and projected needs of the recreational facilities. They include The Fitness Center, The Swimming Facilities, Tennis Courts, Softball Field , Horseshoe pits, Shuffleboard, Bocce ball, Pickle ball Courts and the Dog Park/Picnic Area. In 2011 the group supported and approved; the light addition in the Bocce court areaSoftball’s field information/directional sign on the streetsTable and sunscreens at the Softball field.Remodeling of restrooms at tennis/bocce/shuffleboard courtscontinued maintenance of pool area and fitness centeraddition of TV’s in the Fitness CenterMax told about other facilities and features available in the Village like the Ping Pong tables, the Picnic area down by the Dog Park and sports equipment that can be checked out at the Activity office. He will have an article in the next Village Voice with more information. The committee will be extremely busy this year as the new Santan Activity Center is setup. There are committee openings now and there will be more next year if you would like to help.. Security Committee: Chairman Michael Tucker acknowledged the work of his committee including; Terry Bahnub, Joe Camporese, Ed Leahy, Wil-liam Shea, and Richard Wood. Michael and Joe will be leaving this month because of term limits. The committee’s purpose is to help provide security by coordinating the three

phases of the Blockwatch, Mesa Police and the private security company efforts and education. On March 13 at the Tuesday Coffee the Mesa PD, the HOA and local vendors will present ways to improve your home security. The keystone to any security is “neighbor looking after neighbor”. We are currently a low crime area and we can be complacent. Mike closed with a short film about the SSV COMMUNITY WATCH. Presidents Report:Craig Ahlstrom thanked the committees for all their hard work. He also gave special thanks to Fran Davidson who serves as Recording Secretary, to Janet West for her commitment to SSV and to John Lippert. He reiterated that of all the jobs in the world, John’s is one he would never want to do. He thanked Kirk Kowieski of Rossmar & Graham who is leaders in the com-munity management industry. Special acknowledgement was also given to Jeff Decker who is both Craig’s right and left arm. Craig then shared Ross Farnsworth’s greetings to all. Ross is still doing well and plans on being at the BBQ in March. There are now almost 2000 units closed now. 48 were sold in 2009; 64 in 2010; 71 in 2011 and 2012 should meet or exceed last year’s total. The Santan Recreation Center at the intersection of Springwood and Guadalupe should be finished soon. Parts of the facility will be available in the next 60-90 days. $3.3 million was spent on the land and improvements. $800,000 will be spent to open Guadalupe Road from Wattlewood to Springwood. SSV signs have been ordered for the Wattlewood and Guadalupe intersection. $4 million is being spent to continue development of Unit 7, 5 and 6. The streets should be done close to the end of the year. The Memory Care facility has been named The Summit of Sunland Springs. The facility is budgeted at $4 million and is being built south of the Con-struction office on Signal Butte. It should be open for residents by the end of the year. Craig Ahlstrom, Jr. is the lead on developing this project. There has been a lot of interest in the center, if you would like more information speak to Craig Jr. at the Sales Office. Questions and Comments:The meeting was open for comments or questions. Craig noted that if you have a particular question about your home or its construction to take those to the Construction Office. If we don’t know the answer to your question this evening we will find out for you and let you know later. Question: Are there any plans for adding bicycle lanes along Wattlewood and Guadalupe and on Medina west of the Golf Pro Shop? It is a very busy traffic area. -This is an issue for the City of Mesa; John Lippert will make a note of the concern and see if the city will address the safety issues. Question: Will there be access to the Memory Care center from SSV or will we have to drive all the way around to Signal Butte?-At this time no, there is no access planned from within SSV. Perhaps after the Assisted Living complex is developed and plans for townhomes east of the center are finalized, access may be included. Once the plans are developed public notice and hearings will be held by the city. Any roads and access will be developed with respect for the security, privacy and safety of SSV residents in mind.Question: This is a question for the Recreation Facility Committee (RCF)-Why was it decided to go ahead and put a TV in the weight room when the survey by the HOA was so solidly against the plan? -Max Tiede explained that the majority of residents who wanted the TV work and can only use the room at night. It was felt that earlier in the day if the sound is an annoyance then the TV sound could be turned off. Craig suggested the RFC look into purchasing transmitters for the sound so that individuals could elect to listen or not thru headsets.Question: How many homes will there be when SSV is fully built out? -Original plans in 1988 were for 3500 units. Currently the estimated build out will be between 2800-3000 units.Question: What can be done about the lack of handicap parking and getting an access ramp up by the front door of Auditorium so you don’t have to go all around the building to get in?-SSV follows the prescribed zoning codes when creating the parking spaces, but the appropriate committees will look at the changing needs of the com-munity and make suggestions for enhancements where necessary Craig said.

Question: What kind of insurance do we have on all the buildings and HOA assets? Do we have liability coverage?-RMG provides an Insurance Administrator that helps to get the best insurance for their clients. Once a year SSV has an insurance review to make sure there is adequate coverage. This includes liability coverage.Question: How many months of this year’s budget include the new activity complex? -The last 6 months of the year includes estimated expenses for the new facil-ity in the 2012 budget.Question: Who covers the security for the Ironwood area on the east side? There isn’t a Blockwatch area over there.-When the roadway is open to Ironwood and along Meridian the private secu-rity group will include the eastern portion of the development in their patrols. Question: When will Guadalupe be open thru to Meridian and beyond? -Mesa streets are setup on a grid system. The street probably won’t be open for another 5 years and then it would depend on the overall development needs of the city. Eventually the roads may go through but it will be accord-ing to an inter-governmental agreement between Mesa, Apache Junction and Pinal County.Question: Why is there not a wall in the area of Nichol and Nell , why is the area open there? -There is no particular reason that it is like that. Question: Will the rules for children be changed when we get the other pool? -The rules are not in stone, if you have suggestions you should get them to John and he will have the appropriate committee look into it. This year the children’s time has been extended from 4:30-6:30pm for the month of March only. These could be adjusted as needed.Question: When will there be landscaping on the north east corner of the Twin Homes? -This is City of Mesa property and they are waiting on a final decision on Meridian Road. Farnsworth has planted up to the area. You could bring your concerns up at a Twin Homes board meeting to see if anything else needs to be done.Comment: Thanks to Farnsworth for all you do to make this is such a great place to live. (Applause followed).Question: Why was Administrative Expense up?-John Lippert can help you with the detailed financial information. Contact John at the Activity Office and make an appointment to review the report detail with him. There being no more questions or comments, a motion by Jim Palfini was made to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Dale Spies, approved unanimously.Meeting adjourned at 7:48 PM.Respectfully submitted,Fran Davidson- Secretary, HOA Advisory Board
