Members are liable for their guest(s) and any charges they incur.
2. 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.
3. Each membership may check in up to 8 guests per day.

Green Tip
Please enjoy the following eco-friendly tidbit brought to you by Friends of the Environment:
As you plan for gift-giving and start to shop and purchase presents for friends and family, please consider doing business with local retailers, restaurants, and service providers. Patronizing local businesses results in economic health, a stronger community, and increased resiliency. And by buying locally you help to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution, because fewer resources are required to transport the items you purchase.

Holiday Mail
During the busy holiday season we ask that you practice good postal etiquette and check your mailbox regularly. There is limited space in each box and with the holidays, many residents will be receiving catalogs, packages and other bulk mail. If your box is full, the post office may have to return your mail to the sender.
Remember that if you are heading out of town, you should put your USPS Mail Delivery on hold. You can do so on the USPS website here. Members can also sign up for informed delivery by USPS. This allows you to see photos of your mail prior to its arrival for free! Click here for more information.
If you are interested in unsubscribing to all the junk mail you receive, you can visit the DMAchoice website for more information on how you can control what goes in your mailbox.
