RANCH GARAGE SALE SATURDAY – May 16

     We start early. Clean out those closets and attics and sell to your neighbors. Ranch Realtor Russ Hansen is sponsoring the Spring Garage Sale. He will advertise your location in the PennySaver, on Craig’s List and in Treasure Hunt if you contact him. See his insert in May’s RHOA Roundup for more information.

 THE GREAT EXCHANGE FRIDAY – May 22

     If you have an item that you were not able to sell during the Ranch-wide yard sale and still want to get rid of it you have a second chance to unload it.
Just set it out on the curb or in your driveway on Friday, May 22 with a sign on it indicating that it is “FREE”.   If it’s still there Saturday morning, you can drop it off at the Cleanup Day Dumpsters provided at various locations in the Ranch.

RANCH DUMPSTER SATURDAY – May 23

     To help maintain the beauty of our neighborhood the RHOA is again sponsoring the Spring Cleanup this year on Saturday, May 23.
For this Cleanup day the RHOA will be providing dumpsters/bins for normal household waste for use by current 2015 members. Don’t worry; you will have a chance to pay your $25 yearly dues if you haven’t already done so. The bins are scheduled to be open for use at 8:00 AM until around noon or as soon as they are full.
See the map in May’s RHOA Roundup for approximate bin locations. Find more details on restricted items on page 1 and 3 of the Roundup.
Event Coordinator: Larry Hugo, District 12 Director

Eggstravaganza a success? You bet!!
It was a great neighborhood event with probably a 2 to 1 ratio of adults to children … Proud parents & grandparents taking so many pictures!

Children collecting eggs hoping to find THAT SPECIAL EGG.
4 Lucky Ones

For each age group, there was a Special Egg with $5 in it Those lucky winners were:
0-1: ALLIE T.
2-3: KARA C.
4-6: ARISTA K.
7-9: EZEKIEL T.

But as usual a GOOD TIME was had by all … 20 minutes of mayhem and great fun.
And until this time next year… Thanks to all of our volunteers and neighbors who support us by attending, giving our Ranch Neighborhood that special camaraderie.
By Janice Robinson, District 8 Director

Events build stronger friendships and give more chances to talk one-on-one. They give us a chance to get to know each other better.

Community events are an investment in our future. They create opportunities that can foster excitement and energy in individual members as well as in the community as a whole.

We invite you to come out and join your community at the next event.

Season’s Greetings!

The RHOA hopes you were able to take some time off, relax, and make lots of fond memories this holiday season! Take in all the homes decorated with Christmas Lights below. Enjoy the festive and beautiful photos from your community.

Photos available upon request – email blog@rhoa.org.

Now it’s time to say Goodbye to the year 2014 and heartily welcome to the brand new year 2015! This is a time to remind the best memory of the past year and plan for the new heights for 2015. Welcome 2015. It all starts now. We hope all of you have an incredible, happy, and healthy New Year!

The Dumpster Day program, sponsored by your RHOA for all paid members, is conducted each fall and spring. It is always a fun day to get out into the sun, clean up areas we may have been neglecting, meet some of our neighbors while either volunteering or dropping off some household waste or not needed old treasures. A HUGE thank you to all the volunteers involved: Larry Anderson, Peggy Evans, Jeff Glass, Alex Khorsand, Ramon Lugo, Jeff Moon, Janice Robinson, Jim Spivey, Linda Wallace, and Leroy and Mackayla Wong. RHOA annual membership is only $25 per year. Get in contact you’re your District Director for more information.
