Special Thanks
I would like to take this opportunity to offer a special thanks to a few members of the Paradise Valley Resort family.
AnnJoy has been publishing the Valley newsletter for several years. She has volunteered her time and energy each week to produce a newsletter to keep the members informed. From this point forward, the newsletter will be handled by Paradise Valley staff and will be incorporated into the new Paradise Valley website currently under construction. The Paradise Valley staff and members appreciate all her efforts and commitment to making the Valley a great place to be.
Barry and AnnJoy have organized events for the past few years, including scheduling, coordinating and following through to make sure the planned events are enjoyed by all the members and guests. Due to the tremendous growth this past year, and the future planned growth for next year, we are currently creating a paid position for an event coordinator at Paradise Valley. The Paradise Valley Resort staff wishes to thank Barry and AnnJoy for all their hard work in making the Valley a special place for everyone to enjoy.
Claude and Nancy have been residents of Paradise Valley for many years. Nancy works full time in Corporate America, but loves to spend her weekends around the pool promoting Paradise Valley. Nancy is known for her poolside giveaways.
Claude is often seen helping and working with Troy, the maintenance man. Many members do not realize that Claude is donating his time and energy to make Paradise Valley a more enjoyable facility. Claude and Nancy are Paradise Valley Ambassadors. Next time you see Claude or Nancy, please take a minute and thank them for all they do for the members and guests of Paradise Valley.
This Week At The Lodge:
Friday Night: DJ Karen will be playing your favorite tunes Friday night in the Lodge from 9 pm till 1 am. If you have a request, please let her know. We now have paper and pens in the Lodge to write down your requests. The DJ will do his or her best to play a selection of music to please the crowd and keep the party going.
Saturday Night: DJ Ann will be spinning the tunes from 9pm till 1 am. If you like to party, don't miss the party this Saturday night. The weather forecast is calling for beautiful weather all weekend long.
Sunday At Paradise: The bar opens at 12:30. The weather is warm and the water is cool, so enjoy the day at the Valley. Sunday evening, we will be hosting a free pizza party from 6 pm till 7 pm. If you are staying for the weekend, please stop in the lodge and enjoy some hot fresh pizza.
Pool Rules:
As manager of the resort, I am always available to talk to members to listen to suggestions, ideas, constructive criticism and complaints. There seems to be three repeated complaints and I would like to address them in this newsletter. Maybe we can all work together to improve the Valley.
Cell Phones vs. Camera Phones: As the manager of the Valley, it is often brought to my attention that members or day guests have cell phones at the pool and could very easily be taking pictures. If you are a member or guest and see any suspicious activity, please report it to management, security or any Paradise Valley staff member quickly. We will be posting new signs concerning our cell phone policy, but we all know those with a hidden agenda do not follow the rules.
If a member or guest is found to have used a camera cell phone to take unauthorized photos on Paradise Valley Resort property, they will be asked to leave and will not return. Please report suspicious activity quickly. It does not help us to receive complaints two days or two weeks later. We need to take quick action to prevent this inappropriate activity.
Reserving Lounge Chairs: Earlier this year there seemed to be some confusion concerning the lounge chair availability. Since the policy was already set for the season when I started as manger and had changed several times, I felt it was better to suspend the current chair cover system and start a new policy next year. We will have a new policy next year in place by December 2006. Signs and rules only work if all the members work together. During the Rally In The Valley and over the
Labor Day weekend, please try your best to only hold or reserve a lounge chair with your towel, if you plan to use it.
Smoking: This is a policy change that needed to be addressed for some time. There is no smoking in the lodge. Members and guests may not smoke under the overhangs or eves of the lodge building. This means smoking on the ledge in front of the Plexiglas windows and the walkway adjacent to the door. Our insurance policy is rated for a non-smoking building. Please follow these requests and help us from needing to post signs here, there and everywhere.
The rules state, "No Smoking In The Pool." This was intended to stop ashes from dropping in the pool water as well as allow members who do not smoke, the opportunity to enjoy the pool smoke free. Recently we have guests and members smoking while sitting on the edge of the pool. I have had members who have explained that sitting on the edge with their feet in the water is not swimming, others have complained that they have smoked in the pool for years, long before I started at the Valley. Either way, the intent of the rule is to allow smokers and non-smokers an enjoyable clothing optional experience.
Again, posting more signs is not the answer, please be courteous to your fellow members and guests. I attended an AANR Florida marketing meeting in June. One repeated complaint about AANR clothing optional clubs seems to be the number of signs. Like the old song lyrics, "Signs, signs, every where a sign." The answer is not signs, the answer is to work together to make your visit to Paradise Valley Resort enjoyable and stress free.
As one very nice member told me, " he comes here to have fun and relax, when visiting the Valley is no longer fun and relaxing, he will stop visiting." We need members and guests, everyone wants to have fun and relax. Please try and make today at the Valley more fun and relaxing than yesterday.
