President’s Message
SPRING CLEANING YOUR HOME??
DON’T BRING YOUR STUFF TO THE CLUBHOUSE
There are procedures and rules regarding items donated to
the Summerfield Clubhouse. These items include furniture,
electronic equipment, books, craK supplies, plants, etc. The
first thing to do before dona:ng an item is to contact the
SCA Office to see if the item can be used. If it possibly can
be used, your request will be directed to the appropriate
Commi9ee, Club or to the SCA Board. Please don’t just
“drop it off at the Clubhouse”. If it cannot be used at the
Clubhouse, there are nearby op:ons such as Value Village,
Goodwill and The Discovery Shop for your dona:ons.
This procedure also applies to containers placed in the
Clubhouse for collec:on of recycled items, books and
dona:ons to chari:es.
Approval for these collec:on
containers much be approved by the SCA Office or SCA
Board. The request must be in wri:ng to the SCA office.
Remember that the Clubhouse, upper and lower lobbies, is
like your own home. Would you want someone leaving
things at your front door just in case you could use them?
The final note is that due to the increased use of the
Clubhouse, the Board has contracted with a janitorial service
company to clean the Clubhouse. Chris Allen will con:nue
to take care of general maintenance, SCA event set-up and
tear-down and other special projects as needed. The
janitorial service will work at night and resident access will
s:ll be restricted (fobs do not work aKer 11 PM and all
residents must vacate by then). We believe this will answer
concerns voiced by residents and make the Clubhouse ready
for use at 5:30 AM in the morning. Like all new things, there
will be those that don’t understand why we are changing.
Ask the ques:on and we will do our best to give you an
answer.
Ken Lance,
SCA Board President
A/enon New Residents:
The April Newcomers
Recep:on has been
cancelled. There may be an
event scheduled this summer.
If you have any ‘new resident’
ques:ons,
please contact the
SCA Office.
Swimming Pool News
Have you no:ced how big the
pool area looks without the
trees? The tree shade will be
missed, and unfortunately, there
is no way to replace it all. But with the 4
exis:ng table umbrellas, two new large
umbrellas in smaller tables, and two new extra
large square adjustable umbrellas, we should
be able to make a good dent in all that new
sunshine.
Opening day is a li9le early this year. Mother's
Day falls on May 8th, so for your swimming
enjoyment we are planning to open the pool
on Saturday, May 7th. We need a few extra
volunteers on Saturday, April 30th, at 9:00 AM
to help assemble and set up the new shade
items that are s:ll in the boxes. We will also
need a few volunteers on Wednesday, May 4th
at 9:00 AM to wash off and set up the pool
furniture now in storage. It should only take a
few hours each day. If you would like to help
please call Roger Johnson, 503.684.1658.
We are currently working on a golf ball screen
to replace the safety the trees provided from
errant golf balls. The SCA Board of Directors
has approved the project. Now the Swimming
Pool Commi9ee and Common Area Landscape
Commi9ee (CALC) can work together to get
the screen and some landscape in place before
opening day.
I would like to give a special thank you to
Marshall Henry for his years as Pool
Commi9ee Chairman. He has leK a legacy with
his hard work and commitment to making our
pool a safe and comfortable place for all of us
to enjoy. Fortunately, he has agreed to help
when he can. I would also like to introduce
and thank two new members to the Pool
Commi9ee: Mary Kerns and Elaine Schuller.

Yard Lamp Posts
When Summerfield was built in the
1970s, the only light source was
incandescent bulbs.
Those bulbs
have been replaced with new energy efficient
CFL, LED and halogen bulbs. Light bulbs are
measured by the energy it takes to light them
(wa9s) and the amount of light they radiate
(lumens). Confused? The old style light bulbs
can s:ll be purchased from the Golf Pro Shop
in the Clubhouse. If you wish to change to a
new type of bulb, check the lumens. LED and
CFL lights should not exceed 800 lumens and
halogen should not exceed 600 lumens and a
soK white light is best for elimina:ng glare.
Hope this helps!
While you’re checking out that light bulb, take
a good look at that lamp post. If you have
missing or broken panels, they can also be
purchased at the Golf Pro Shop. Is the post in
need of repair or pain:ng? You will be
surprised how a well maintained and freshly
painted lamp post can be the finishing touch
to your landscape.

underway. The current exercise equipment is being
assessed for repair or replacement. This will be an
ongoing project. A number of you are already enjoying
the new machines in the Billiards Room. All major
projects we propose must be pre-approved by the SCA
Board.
As you may know, the Commi9ee meets every month
to discuss current business and new business that
needs immediate or future a9en:on. Feel free to sit in
on our mee:ngs that are held in the Conference Room
at 3:00 PM on the third Thursday of every month. You
will find that our objec:ve is to ensure that the
Summerfield Clubhouse is a safe, clean and secure
place to exercise, read, play games, meet for par:es
and celebra:ons, come together to share your hobbies,
gather to get to know your neighbors over coffee or
learn how to line dance....just to men:on a few.
IMPORTANT FOOTNOTE: The only thing we ask of you is
to clean up aKer you use any of the facili:es. Example:
This may require a li9le mopping in the kitchen, picking
up crumbs (vacuuming), throwing away trash, puZng
chairs back where they belong. That's all we ask.

Golf Course
Marshals Needed
As we enter into our Spring/Summer season
there is a need for more marshals on the
golf course as we will have more golfers
playing and our days are longer. In order to
become a golf course marshal, you do not
need to be a golfer. However, if you are a
member of the ladies or men’s golf groups
you should want to give some :me to
marshaling.
This year, to make this more appealing, we
will be star:ng a split schedule system
where a team of two ladies can team up to
marshal. The ladies will start the day’s
marshaling for no more than four hours
(some:mes less) with a man comple:ng the
shiK un:l closing. We’re hoping this would
be more appealing to you ladies. Pick a
partner of your choice for a once a month,
weekend or week day schedule.
There is a planned Marshals/Starters
general mee:ng to be held on Monday,
April 25th, at 2:00 PM, in the Lakeview Room
where we will be discussing general rules
and guidelines for both volunteer programs.
Please join us there. For more informa:on
contact Bob Primrose, 503.646.1893,
Marshal Chairman.

Lindsey’s Tigers
April Clinic: Putting
By Rob Lindsey, PGA Golf Professional
Well, I wish I could say that our winter and
beginning of spring was like that of 2015, but
unfortunately we’ve had one of the we9est ones in
history. Hopefully the rains will subside soon and
we will again be out enjoying one of the best kept
secrets in Oregon.
The week of April 4th, we will again be having a
resident only clearance sale on all apparel and
shoes. For one week only, receive an addi:onal
25% off any apparel or shoe purchase (many items
have already been marked down 25-50%). Please
refer to this offer when making a purchase because
we will not be adver:sing this sale to the general
public in the Golf Shop.
Currently we are offering our annual “Spring Tuneup” for $10. This session is designed to make sure
your clubs are properly fit and that your grips are
ready for the season. Please give us a call to
schedule a :me if you’re interested. During the
month of April, all club adjustments and re-grip
charges are 50% off.
April is aerifica:on month. We will be aerifying our
greens, tees and fairways beginning on Monday,
April 4th. This means the golf course will be closed
on Monday and Tuesday, April 4th and 5th. If you
have any ques:ons or concerns, please don’t
hesitate to ask us in the Golf Shop.
Have you ever stood on the green, feeling good,
knowing you look good, stroked your pu9er and
watched your ball roll right on by the hole, and
thought to yourself:
??? “Why Didn’t The Ball Go In” ???
Wonder no longer - a9end the April Clinic of
Lindsey’s Tigers where we’ll be working on our
puZng skills. Bring your pu9er on Tuesday, April
19th, at 1:00 PM to the Lower Level of the
Clubhouse and we’ll get to work. Weather
permiZng, we’ll head out to the prac:ce green.
If you don’t have clubs yet, don’t let that stop
you. Give Rob Lindsey, our Golf Pro, a call at the
Pro Shop and he can provide a pu9er for your use
at the clinic—our compliments!
If you’re newer to golf and checking out Lindsey’s
Tigers for the first :me, join us Tuesday, April 19th,
at 1:00 PM. You’ll be glad you came!

Excerpt from 2005 Parking Resoluon:
Ideally, every vehicle within Summerfield, when not in use, would be parked within a unit’s garage, with the garage
door closed. While this may not be possible as a prac:cal ma9er, it is preference of Summerfield residents. Even if
the vehicles of Summerfield residents or guests must occasionally be parked in driveways or, when absolutely
necessary, on Summerfield streets, Sec:ons 1.2 of the Declara:on a9empts to limit such vehicles to “regular,”
tradi:onal passenger vehicles. Large vehicles, as well as special purpose vehicles like campers, trucks, RV’s, boats,
etc., are generally not permi9ed to be parked within Summerfield except when completely enclosed within a garage.
The second primary purpose behind the prohibi:on against parking certain vehicles is community safety. The more
vehicles that are parked on Summerfield streets and the larger the vehicles are, the more safety hazards are
presented, both due to narrowed travel and obstruc:ons to the vision of drivers and pedestrians.
