The End of an Era
Click on image for
larger picture
Demolition on the old Administration building began
on April 14, 2008. The building was built around 1977
and first served as a Fire Hall before becoming the
Ranch Administration and Maintenance
facilities. The land will be reclaimed and the two
lots will be sold to offset costs for the facilities
projects.

Marilyn Jack
The old Access/Registration building (also
formerly a Fire Hall) was demolished on April 16 to make
way for the new Welcome Center.

Operations Tour of Homes
Scheduled
for May 4, 2008. 1:00pm -
3:00pm.
Sunday, May 4 is the date of this year's Tour of
Homes. Mark your
calendar!
This is a great way to personally view the
quality of the homes, condominiums and cabins available
for guests on the Ranch. Staff and even
Owners of these properties will be available to answer
questions during your self-tour. We can have the
Group Sales Coordinator or an Agent get back to you if
you need extras space for your personal guests this
summer.
The Ranch is proud of the quality
of properties in the program. One of our
rental Owners recently encountered other Owners on the
Ranch relaying misinformation on the Ranch rentals and
promptly invited them to tour his home. If you haven't
been in one of our homes in a few years, you are invited
to get first-hand knowledge and help spread the
word. You
are our biggest sales representative!
Properties scheduled for the
tour include:

Black Butte 14

Country House 44
-
East Meadow 17

It's Spring Cleanup Time
April 19 -
30
Ranch-wide clean up is slated for
April 19 - 30, 2008. Owners
may dispose of all natural debris such as needles,
pinecones, branches and brush FREE at the pit on
McAllister Rd. Debris must be separated by type -
limbs, needles, etc. Plastic bags may not be left on
premises.
Remember,
outside burning is no longer permitted by the
Fire Department, so needles need to be transported to
Section
5.
The
Maintenance Department will provide a curbside
pickup starting Monday, May 5th through Friday,
May 9th, 2008. This service is
offered at $40 per unit (about the size of a 1-ton
pickup truck.) Call for an estimate of larger
amounts.
The
curbside pickup is designed to pickup piles of needles
and small limbs with a back hoe and dump truck. Please
follow these guidelines:
·
Piles
must be located where large equipment can easily pick
them up, close to the road and clear of trees.
·
Piles
must be clear of any obstructions such as water shut
offs, meters, landscaping, driveway lights,
etc.
·
If
equipment cannot access piles, they will not be picked
up. Contact Maintenance to make other
arrangements.
Call
Ranch Maintenance at 541-595-1527 to schedule your
curbside pickup by Friday, May 2nd.
Maintenance
hours are Monday through Saturday 7:30AM -
4:00PM. | | |
