What activities will we available?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>First, I want you to know that our Activities Director, Sue Arneson, is back and ready to have as full a schedule of activities as possible.\u00a0(You can read her letter below for details.)<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The safety of our residents and staff is, of course, our first priority. We\u2019re getting guidance from the Governor\u2019s Office, the County and the City of Mesa. Each have guidelines, and those can change, so we\u2019re working at keeping up with them and following the templates. Our mantra is DO THE RIGHT THING. It\u2019s just not worth it to force an event.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>However,\u00a0we are lucky that we have a lot of open space and big facilities. When we had a residents\u2019 meeting a few months back we were able to have more than a hundred people and still keep everyone six feet apart.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>We are now working with tennis and softball and other groups to figure out how to keep safe. For some events, we\u2019ll have to limit the number of tickets, based on social distancing.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In short, we want to have as many as activities as we can, adjusting the capacity to be safe and to meet guidelines. Everything will be on a trial basis \u2013 that\u2019s just the way things have to be right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"galileo-ap-layout-editor\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\" editor-col OneColumnMobile\" align=\"\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\">\n<div class=\"gl-contains-text\">\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"editor-text editor-text \" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<div>\n<table class=\"editor-image OneColumnMobile\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"right\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"15\" height=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td class=\"image-cell \" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"publish-container\"><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/57c46b83501\/d34b8de1-3112-427c-b455-d52b96a27560.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"5\" height=\"5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"5\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<td class=\"mobile-hidden\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" height=\"5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imgssl.constantcontact.com\/letters\/images\/sys\/S.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"5\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-container galileo-ap-content-editor\">\n<p>Besides issues with covid, what\u2019s been going on with the park over the summer?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>When people come back this season, I think they\u2019ll notice a change. We\u2019ve been touching up the whole property. Plus, we\u2019ve done a big cleanup, and we\u2019re bringing up the infrastructure. One thing I\u2019m particularly pleased about:<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>We now have lights on the pickleball courts.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>That sport just keeps getting more popular \u2013 about one-quarter of the park is now involved &#8212; so it\u2019s great to extend the window of playing time.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Also, we\u2019re in the midst of upgrading the pool area. We\u2019re redoing of the water feature, and we\u2019ve been working on the landscaping, and we added the speakers for music.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m a believer that the property should be kept up all year round. I know that there are people who treat the winter season the way some people are about their homes \u2013 the ones who only clean up the house before company comes over. But we have more year-round residents now and we want a beautiful park for them; and, no matter when residents come to the park, I want them to see that their investment is being kept up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"galileo-ap-layout-editor\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\" editor-col OneColumnMobile\" align=\"\" valign=\"top\" width=\"100%\">\n<div class=\"gl-contains-text\">\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"editor-text editor-text \" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-container galileo-ap-content-editor\">\n<div>\n<p>Lastly, there are people who missed the management update meeting and who are wondering, what happened with the management of the parks, and how things are working now?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>We redesigned our management structure to make it simpler and more responsive. With the other properties I\u2019m responsible for, the structure has always been clear: There\u2019s an Office Manager and a Maintenance Manager and those two are responsible for the park. That\u2019s the way it is here now at Silveridge.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The system works because it\u2019s simple and clear. It\u2019s like a hotel: if a light goes out in the bathroom, who do you call? You don\u2019t call Mr. Hilton. You call the Front Desk. And they know exactly what to do to get the problem fixed. It\u2019s the same here \u2013 you see something amiss, you let the folks at the Front Desk know and it gets fixed. Same with the renting of units or selling a unit or checking on availability for an RV \u2013 it\u2019s all through the Front Desk.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I can tell you that the new streamlined management is working \u2013 most problems are taken care of the same day, or within a day or two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"galileo-ap-layout-editor\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\"

There will be more restrictions than in the past; however, we will continue to have fun, food and fellowship!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">Yes, there are some guidelines \/ rules we have adopted to try to address the safety and welfare of park residents. They will be in effect thru December, 2020 (with late December re-evaluation for relaxation, if possible). They are as follows:\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">All park activities such as dances, breakfasts, concerts and club\/sports activities will be restricted to park residents only. This will include functions held by tennis, softball, shuffleboard, billiards, and pickleball, as well as any other functions by clubs not listed.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">Bands playing for any dances that are held will be required to stay on or behind the stage and will be allowed to use facilities only if wearing a mask. In addition, only band members will be allowed entry to the park\/ballroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">We are sourcing \u201cno touch\u201d hand sanitizing stations to be placed at locations in the ballroom, social hall, business office, activity office, post office, gym, theater, library, and pool area.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">The park is planning on keeping the ballroom, pool area, post office, activity office, library, classrooms, and any\u00a0other common areas open as long as \u201csocial distancing\u201d is\u00a0being practiced. The park is following Maricopa County\u2019s Covid -19 guidelines and residents are encouraged to do the same. Residents can attend modified events under their own recognizance.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">Please be respectful to your friends and neighbors by staying away from any activities or functions if you are not feeling well!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">I am planning mostly outdoor events for Oct. and Nov. This will include a couple of welcome back events, a Veterans Day Tribute with program and music (coffee and cookies included!), an Elvis show and our very special Christmas Dinner show. Watch for Silveridge Connect and the Silveridge website for dates and ticket sales. Tickets can be purchased at the Activity Desk and will be on a first come basis. My Ticket order list will only be through December and subject to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 14pt;\">Again, these guidelines will be re-visited in mid-December. I have so much more planned for the rest of the season. Let us have faith in our future. Here\u2019s looking forward to a safe and eventful season and for your safe return to Silveridge. The activity office open on October 1st and Sharon and I will be here to greet you with a smile and an air hug!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2020 at Silveridge: A Conversation with George Igualt By Dale Dauten Of all the lighthearted comments made about this strange [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9284"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9285,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9284\/revisions\/9285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/silveridge.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
