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

Lap Pool: Great news! The indoor steps are now open for members to access the lap pool. While a few finishing touches are still in progress, the entrance is ready to use.

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

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

Let the holiday sparkle begin on Thursday, Nov. 19!

RVRMA’s Holiday Decoration and Lighting Policy allows holiday lights, decorations, and yard ornaments beginning seven days before Thanksgiving—Thursday, Nov. 19, this year.

As you decorate, please keep our local wildlife in mind:

You may notice some new school zone signage popping up around River Valley Ranch! Following new state legislation, the Town of Carbondale has expanded its designated school zones to cover additional roadways throughout town, including portions of RVR.

The designated school zones have a 15 MPH speed limit from 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on school days only. Please keep an eye out for the new signs, slow down, and be mindful of children and pedestrians traveling through our neighborhood.

The final pickup of the RVR leaf dumpster is expected sometime during the week of November 16, depending on how quickly it fills up.

It's been an un-be-leaf-able fall! Thanks to everyone who helped keep RVR looking its best this season!

The proposed 2027 Budget was presented at the Board meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The Board will consider 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.

Tom’s Door, in partnership with RVR, is celebrating its eleventh annual holiday gift drive for Carbondale seniors. Over the last eleven years, we have experienced a generous outpouring of contributions. This year, we're partnering with Aspen Glen to provide gift cards to all 81 residents of Carbondale Senior Housing, helping bring a little extra holiday cheer to those who might otherwise go without. These residents are 62 years of age or older, live in Crystal Meadows housing on Social Security and have an income level of less than $39,950 a year. You can give them some hope and cheer and share the magic of the holiday season.

If you wish to get involved, visit the Ranch House beginning Friday, Nov. 6 and choose a key from the wreath on the festive red Tom's Christmas Door. There are several gift card options including City Market, Target, and Walmart. Our suggested donation is $50–$100. We ask that you place your gift card(s) through the door’s mail slot no later than Sunday, Dec. 6. Please feel free to include a personal note if you wish to share a holiday message.

Additional information about Tom's Door is available next to the red door if you are not familiar with this wonderful organization and the outreach and positive impact it has in our community.

If you have any questions, please contact Sidney Poncelet at 970-309-2393 or sidponcelet@gmail.com.

We thank you in advance for your generosity!
