We’re getting ready for this summer’s RVRMA Board of Directors election, an important opportunity for our community to come together and help choose the leaders who will help guide us forward.

Per the RVRMA Bylaws, board members serve three-year terms with no term limits. Each year, a portion of the board positions come up for election. This year, the terms of two dedicated board members, Vice President John Lund and Director Sherry Stripling, will expire. If they choose, John and Sherry may seek re-election by declaring their candidacy, just as any other homeowner can.

Interested in serving your community?

If you're a homeowner who would like to get involved in serving your community and shaping the future of RVR, we encourage you to consider running for a seat on the Board. The deadline to declare your candidacy is Friday, June 6.

We had a wonderful day at the annual RVR Memorial Celebration. European Caterers fired up the grill with burgers and hot dogs. Ashley served up a signature Floradora cocktail alongside popsicles and ice cream for the kids.

When the rain arrived, everyone made their way to the great room to wait out the weather. Once the skies cleared Don Marlin & The Thirty Fingers Band performed with live music on the pool deck.

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the holiday with us! We look forward to many more fun days at the pool this summer.

With summer fast approaching and with more members bringing guests to enjoy the pool and hang out at the Ranch House, we kindly ask that you please keep these important rules in mind when checking in your visitors:

Guests visiting the Ranch House must be accompanied by a member. Members must check their guests in at the Front Desk upon entry, fill out appropriate paperwork and pay the applicable guest fee(s), which are charged to the member's account. Members are liable for their guest(s) and any charges they incur.

If you are unable to accompany your guest be sure to give the front desk a call for each day they will be visiting the Ranch House at 970.963.6300.

Members are responsible for the conduct and safety of minor-aged guests who are at the Ranch House, even if the child is old enough to use the facility without adult supervision (12 years old).

Each membership may check in up to 8 guests per day.

The daily guest fee is $9.00 for adults and $7.00 for children. Read more about the guest policy in the Rules and Regulations document by clicking here (pg.4).

Important Reminder: Children must be at least 12 years old to be at the Ranch House without an adult.

Children 11 years old and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who is at least 15 years old, and should not access the pool, hot tub, locker rooms, or upstairs without proper supervision.

These guidelines are in place to help ensure everyone's safety and a positive experience for all members and guests.

A mountain lion was caught on a security camera at a residence on Patterson last week.

Please be aware of their presence in our community and take necessary precautions to keep your children and pets safe!
