Ranch House renovations continue! Visit our website for the latest updates.

Lap Pool: Vestibule work begins Monday, Oct. 19. The pool will remain open, but members must walk around the bend of the pool and use the silver ladder to enter the water.

Locker Rooms & Restrooms: Main facilities remain closed. Please use the East Wing family changing rooms and restrooms, where towels are available.

Parking: Renovation work and the leaf dumpster limit parking. Overflow parking is available on River Valley Ranch Drive and at the Old Thompson Barn. Thank you to Brian Leasure for sharing his lot! Contractor spaces may open to members when not needed.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as renovations continue. We’re excited to see these improvements come together!

Lap Pool Entry Update:

Improvements in Progress: Ranch House Bar 

Thank you to everyone who joined our Budget Q&A sessions! We appreciate you taking the time to ask questions, share feedback, and be part of the planning process.

What’s next?
The proposed 2027 Budget will be presented at the Board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Any revisions will be incorporated before the Board considers approval at its Wednesday, Nov. 18 meeting.

Following Board approval, the budget will be posted on the RVRMA website. Budget ballots are scheduled to be emailed on Friday, Dec. 4, with final ratification scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 16.

Thank you again for your thoughtful input and participation!

Colorado Parks and Wildlife asks residents to keep real pumpkins indoors, where they can be displayed in a window without attracting hungry bears. Even uncarved pumpkins can become a meal as bears prepare for winter! 

Trash is another easy food source, so please follow our community’s trash rules: Pickup is Tuesday, except on holiday weeks. Cans must remain inside until 6 a.m. on trash day and be brought back inside by 8 p.m. Never put trash out the night before.

The Ranch House fall leaf dumpster is now available for community use. Located at the back of the Ranch House parking lot, it accepts grass clippings, weeds, leaves, sticks, brush and branches up to 2 inches in diameter.

The collected yard waste will be turned into compost, so please follow the landfill’s guidelines to help keep the material clean and suitable for composting. Empty yard waste directly into the dumpster and take all bags and containers home with you. Plastic is not permitted.

Still Time to Play Tennis!

Tennis clinics will continue through October 17, and Cristina, our Tennis Pro, will still be around next week for private lessons.

Courts will remain open as weather and frost conditions allow. Please avoid playing on frosty or soft courts to help protect the surface and keep everyone safe.

Thank you for a wonderful season and for supporting the RVR tennis program!

We’ve enjoyed a little extra pool season this year! The Rec Pool will close today or early next week, depending on our contractor’s schedule to install anchors for the winter pool cover.

Thanks for a wonderful pool season!

Get ready for a frightfully fun evening at the RVR Barn on Friday, Oct. 23, from 4:30–6:30 p.m. Bring the whole family for a Halloween celebration filled with spooky fun for all ages!

Mix up a concoction at our Potion Bar, enjoy a live Magic Show at 5:15 p.m. and join in on crafts, games and plenty of sweet treats! Come hungry because Dustino's Pizza Truck will be on-site with delicious food available for purchase, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Complimentary beer and wine will also be available for adults.

And the fun starts before the party! Stop by the Ranch House and take your best guess at how many candies are in the jar on the coffee bar. Will your guess be the closest?

Costumes are encouraged, so dress up and join your neighbors for a fun-filled community celebration!

Stop in for a spell or stay the whole time!

Accompanied guests are welcome (guest fees apply). Please RSVP!

A special thank you to Brian Leasure for generously allowing us to use the RVR Barn for this year’s Halloween Party. We’re so grateful for his support in making this fun community event possible!

It is with a heavy heart that we share this obituary for Thomas J. Cooney, who passed away on October 8, surrounded by the family he loved so deeply.

Irrigation blowouts continue in the community. The team will work on RVR residences through the last week of October. 

Once your system has been winterized, a 2026 sticker will be placed on your controller to confirm the work is complete.

There’s a new opportunity for Colorado homeowners to see how insurers assess wildfire risk. Under HB25-1182, insurers that use wildfire risk scores or models must share homeowners’ scores or classifications and information about available mitigation discounts. Homeowners can also appeal a score or classification directly to their insurer.

As you review your insurance paperwork, look for this information and ask your insurer how any wildfire mitigation work may be considered. Dated photos and records of improvements can help support the conversation.
