JuNe 28th, 2012 Weekly Publication of Cloud 9 Ranch News & Events

Cloud 9 Ranch Management and Staff would like to welcome each of our Members and their Guests to Cloud 9 for the 2012 Independence Celebration. Many activities have been planned for Cloud 9 Ranch members who will be staying with us during the July 4th holiday. There has been a outstanding effort by the Committees and Clubs to make sure there is some-thing for everyone of all ages.

Cloud 9 Ranch Management and Staff would like to

thank You for visiting The Ranch. It is our sincere de-

sire to make sure you and your family have a wonder-

ful summer vacation.

You will be happy to know that we are now showing

“Family” movies on both Friday and Saturday nights

at the Big Top pool.

If you are planning on a horseback ride, be sure to

make your reservation in the Trading Post. Even

though the weather has been hot, the morning rides

are still very pleasant.

Recently the Ranger Station as been moved to the front

entrance. It is our desire that the additional staffing in

this location will help to speed up the check in time of

our guests who need to register their ATV’s.

In the past, sports equipment such as mini-golf and

basketballs have been available for checkout in the

Ranger Station. To make this equipment more conven-

ient to our members, the equipment checkout is now

located in the Youth Center.

For our new members, we are now offering a “new

member” orientation on Friday mornings. This orienta-

tion is located by the Melody Lane pond every Friday

Morning at 10AM. This is a great way to meet other

new members at Cloud 9 Ranch.

If you find yourself looking for a place to cool down on

the hot afternoons, be sure and cool off at the family

swimming pool or find a shady spot on Spring Creek.

The most popular swimming holes are located at the

Foggy Tubes, The Gravel Bar and Lane Springs in

Sheriffs Hollow. If you have questions in regards to

swimming area rules, please check with the Ranger

staff or Ranch Office for clarification on rule changes.

Again, Thank you for choosing to spend your summer

vacation at Cloud 9 Ranch. We are glad that you are

here and hope that we are able to meet and exceed all

of you camping expectations.

Happy Independence Week!

RRC Camping Tip~

Attention!!! All owners of camping units please be advised that the plug on the cable you plug into the ranch outlet can become very hot from carrying the heavy load of air condi-tioners and other elec-trical items. These have been known to melt and burn the out-let, the plug and the cable. It is advisable to have a spare in your unit. They come in two sizes, 30 and 50 amp. Please check yours and if it is hot or has the burnt electrical smell call the gate house for help. The Trading Post at the ranch carries a few but on holiday weekend they sometimes run out. The melted plug is a common problem and having a spare may save you a trip to town and if it is after hours or on a weekend you may be without electricity.

The traditional “Flea Market” that is held each holi-day weekend will take place at the T-Top on Satur-day, June 30th. Everyone is invited to come out and

shop at the flea market. You never know what treas-ures you might find. Members who would like to set-up a booth at the Flea

Market are encouraged to do so. There is still table space available. Booth space fees go to help support

the Craft House in their fundraising events. Proceeds from the booth space rental are put back into special improvement projects on Cloud 9 Ranch that all

Craft House during regular business hours. The June 30th Flea Market will run from 8AM-12 noon under the T-Top.

ness while you are camping at Cloud 9 Ranch. The Craft House bake sale is always a great way to pick

up your camping desserts while you are at the Ranch. The bake sale will be held on June 30th from 12 noon to 4PM. The list of treats is growing this year and

many sugar free deserts will be included. The ladies at the Craft House would love for you to stop by and check out the selection of baked goods. If you are

one of the volunteers who have donated the time and effort to produce the baked goods we very much ap-

preciate your help. Anyone who would like to donate a baked good is welcome to do so. Donated goods can be dropped off at the Craft House 10AM-12PM on

The Cloud 9 Ranch Conservation Committee has

many things going on in the 2012 season. With the lake project still underway, the Conservation Commit-

tee would like to encourage Ranch Members to check out the progress of the new lake. Please be respect-ful of the hard work, donated funds and effort that

has gone into this Ranch improvement. ATV’s are not allowed on the bank area. Please avoid driving in the prohibited areas around the new construction site.

As a reminder, the Missouri Department of Conserva-tion has strict policy against stream abuse. Please

remember that “Joy Riding” is strictly prohibited and ATV’s are not allowed to park in the stream bed. A Ranch Member, Connie Dines, has donated her

time to create a beautifully embroidered quilt to the committee. While you are in the Trading Post, be

sure to check out the quilt and purchase raffle tickets for your chance to win. The raffle tickets are avail-able in the Trading Post 8AM-4PM Monday –Friday.

You can also make your raffle ticket purchase from Tressa in the Cloud 9 Ranch Office. The Conservation Committee would like to thank the

members who have helped to support our fund rais-ing efforts. Our goal is to continually improve and

preserve Cloud 9 Ranch conservation for the benefit of all Ranch Members now and in the years to come.

The Rest of the Story

JuNe 28th, 2012 The 9 Lines Page 5

My first week as a Board Member has been an experience. First I

participated with the Board providing lunch after the annual

meeting. I arranged for an anniversary cake to be brought to the

ranch that portrayed what the ranch was all about. The cake was

in four sections with a stream running through all four and show-

ing what the ranch stands. The top part was Fishing, the second

part was Horseback Riding, the third was Camping and the last

was ATV’s. The cake was beautiful and the lady that designed it

“Rocked it”. But the hard part was transporting it 120 miles to

the ranch in 90 degree temperatures and then keeping it cool for

48 hours and then trying to keep it cool out in the humidity until

it was served. All I can say, it was a beautiful Anniversary

Cake!!!

After winning the one year term, I was immediately elected

Treasurer by the 2012-2013 Board of Directors. It was an honor

to have this vote of confidence from the entire Board and I will

try my best in helping the Ranch move forward with Financial

Transparency. The Board and Management are already hitting

the ground running. Cindi Morrison, Coy Jackson, Angie

McMinn and I will be meeting soon to game plan the budget

process. Working through this process, the Ranch Management

will not only own the budget from the beginning, but the Board

and ultimately the membership via a Budget Committee will also

own the process.

After the Board Meeting on the 16th, I participated in a short fund

raiser for the Cloud 9 Ranch Fire Department while at the Mud

Bog. Fellow new Board Member, Kurt Wilbanks and I got to

play in the mud pit and while doing this we raised over $500 for

the Fire Department. I think I can speak for Kurt on this, we

were both more than happy to do this, but probably won’t be do-

ing it again, as we are both recovering from cuts, scrapes, and

bruises!!! That mud was like wet cement and I may be getting

too old to compete against a Fire Fighter!!! But as I have said

before, any event at the Ranch is a fun event, so you can probably

count me in on most anything!!!

So thank you everybody for your vote of confidence and I hope

that I will be able to make a difference for not only the Board of

Directors, but for the Management Team and all the Owners of

the Ranch!!!

Mag Greig,

Treasurer, Board of Directors

Get Ready For the Parade!

JuNe 28th, 2012 The 9 Lines Page 6

One of the favored traditions at Cloud 9 Ranch is the

July Parade. This year, as Cloud 9 celebrates its’ 40th birthday, the Parade Theme “40 Years of Family

Fun” has been chosen. The parade will be held on Saturday, July 7th at 6PM. In order to efficiently ac-commodate the large amount of participants in the

parade, this year the parade line-up will be in the Melody Lane campground. The line-up for the parade will begin at 5PM. The line up order will start with

the Floats, 2nd will be the ATV’s followed by the Side by Sides and Golf Carts. Each entry will be given a

number to be put on the left side of the vehicle so the judges can see. Spectators are encouraged to view the parade from a

variety of locations along the parade route. The pa-rade will line up in Melody Lane, and take the perime-

ter route through Lonesome Pines. The judges will be viewing the parade from their assigned station which will be near the new ice machine. The parade will

then return back to the pavement and head down Spring Hill. The parade will go up to Hill Country campground and circle back around. The parade will

end at the T-Top building. After the parade has made its way to the T-Top, the judges will announce the

winning decisions. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be given out in each of the 3 categories. We hope everyone will come out to watch the parade. It has been reported that some of the floats will have sur-prises for the spectators! This will be a great time for the entire family. We hope you will join us.

Kodak Moments

JuNe 28th, 2012 The 9 Lines Page 9

Remember years ago the old time pictures when and old cow-

boy brought around a horse to the neighborhood and yourself

or one of your kids climbed up on the horse and had your pic-

ture taken with that crazy cowboy hat on?

We are recreating that Kodak Moment for the kids of today.

Bring your kids, ages 4-12 to Melody Lane between 5pm & 6pm

on Friday June 29th.

The kids can have their picture taken on one of the Cloud 9

Ranch horses, get a short ride, lead by one of our wranglers,

around the Melody Lane pond area. There will be a limited

number of these rides/pictures available, so it’s first come, first

serve.

Pictures will be available for pickup at the Melody Camphost site

#38 around 4PM on Saturday June 30th. There is no cost, but

donations will be accepted for the C9R Volunteer Fire depart-ment. We will have Frisbees, candy bars and fire hats for the

kids when they pick up their pictures. A BIG thank you goes out

to Chris Bean and his wrangler crew for agreeing to make this

event happen. Without the dedication of our employees, these

type of events would not be possible.

Last Friday evening, kids both young and young at heart gathered

at Valley Star School House to take part in an old fashion hay

ride. Under the direction of Ed Horton, Rex Harrison took the 20

plus participants for a 45 minute hay ride around the Ranch.

Along the way, smiles were abundant and so were the deer! It

was a beautiful evening to take a cool ride around the Ranch.

Campers who were outside as the hay wagon pasted by were very

quick to offer an smile and a wave. A great time was had by all

and new friends were made. What a great way to enjoy C9R.

New friends are always just around the corner. Thank you to all

that helped with the evening by supplying hay, truck, trailer, and

lots of fun for the families who participated.
