News from
our resident Garden Guy: Bill Vandermay
Our flower planting day
went very well. We started
about 7:30 with about 3000
flower plugs and we were
all finished by noon. All of
the volunteers that came
out to help deserve a big
THANK YOU! It is a lot of
work but I think that the
residents of Golden Vista
really enjoy the results. One thing that was different this year was the flower
beds. The new Landscape Crew did an excellent job of getting them all prepared. Also, if you look around the park
you will see that whole park is looking better.
Now that the flowers are all planted, we could still use a
few more volunteers to tend the beds. On some beds we
only need help until the first of the year when more residents will arrive. There are also some small beds available that wouldn'
t take very long to weed and deadhead.
We are also still looking for a few volunteers who would like
to help out with the roses. If you'
re interested in helping
with the flowers or the roses, you can sign up on the sheet
in the hallway or just give Bill a call at 2990.
The practice schedule for 2011 will be
Wednesdays for small groups/sections: 1 - 3
PM and Fridays: for full chorus: 9:30 am 12:00 noon. The performances will be March
3rd and 6th, 2011.
Our music will be a Choral Review of Broadway Musicals, Spiritual selections, and Johnny
Cash music.
We would love to have some new singers join

Watch for the date for the Shuffleboard Club’s Fun Nights
which will be held once a
month throughout the season.
It’s an opportunity to get together in a social setting to play
some fun games on the courts. Watch for details.
We have a very active Club, and congratulations go to
the following people who were on winning teams at the
recently completed Western National Shuffleboard Tournament. From Team BC One – Ken Trimble, Jim Gates
and Bill Visser; From the Alberta Grizzlies – Ron Williams; from the Alberta Chinooks – Joan McPhillamey,
Ken Wardley and Verena Wardley.
We are sorry to report that Ardith Martin took a fall during
the first week of November, and is currently recovering in
a rehab center. We wish her well during her convalescence. Also, we lost two long-time members of the shuffleboard community – Louie Smith and “Flip” Dunn. We
extend our sympathies to their respective families.

We need an additional to
get coffee ready each evening to set out the next
morning on the patio. Rose
Olson has volunteered & is
making the coffee now but it
would be great if someone
could alternate days with
her. We have volunteers to take it out of the
kitchen & plug it in but need another person
to fill the pot with water & coffee in the evening. Let Jan or Mary know in the Activities
Office if you can help.

As many of you know we have new equipment to put into the wifi towers in the park.
The equipment consists of new motherboards, radios, etc. We continue work on
the new equipment and are preparing it for
testing. Once it tests ready for performance we will be installing it into the towers.
During installation wifi will be temporarily
down until we reconnect everyone. We will
announce when installation is ready to begin so that residents can prepare for the
down time.
Once again your patience is greatly appreciated and we hope to have the wifi problems solved very soon.
You may contact me, Jeff Elkins at 480671-1980.
Have a wonderful Holiday.

LINES FROM
LARRY, RESORT
MANAGER:
Board of Directors Election
There are 3 positions (3 year
terms) on the
Golden Vista
Board to be filled
in the
upcoming election. The board
has overall responsibility to
oversee financial matters and plan the future
of our community. If you would like to be a
part of this important responsibility, pick up
an application form at the front desk. Deadline for filing is Friday, January 7, 2011 at 4
pm.
The candidates forum will be held on
Tuesday, January 11 at 1:30 pm in the
ballroom. Voting will conclude on Tuesday,
February 15th with the announcement of the
new directors at the annual meeting.
Help your community!
Pick up an application at the front desk.
I wish to thank everyone for their support
and kind words for me
as the new Manager. I
am looking forward to
the challenges ahead
and to working with the Board and the
various committees. Times are changing
and together we can work towards making
the Park the ultimate 55+ HOA community in the valley of the sun. The key word
is YOU. We need to know what you are
thinking in order to do the job right. I can
not please everyone but doing what is best
for the Park is my overriding concern.
A resident suggested to me that a Town
Hall Meeting might be a good way to
open communications. I really like the
idea and wish I had thought of it myself.
We will have the first meeting on
December 14, 2010 at 1:00 pm in the
Ballroom. It will be an informal meeting
where you, the residents of the Park can
come and offer your ideas and thoughts.
The staff will also be there to answer
questions and address your concerns. The
meeting will be moderated as we will
have to keep some kind of order. I believe
this open kind of forum where people can
speak their minds in a constructive way
will be beneficial for all of us.
My door is always open if you would like
to talk to me one on one.
As always I welcome your comments and/
or questions at [email protected] and the
Board of Directors at [email protected].
Thank You to all who
helped with the Boys &
Girls Club Halloween
