With the holiday season here, many members will have guests in town that may want to visit the Ranch House.
Here are some important rules to remember when checking in your guests:
|
| |
|
-
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).

RVRMA's Holiday Decoration and Lighting Policy states:
"Holiday lighting and decorations, including yard ornaments, can be placed on or around your residence seven days before Thanksgiving", which is Thursday, Nov. 21 this year.
|
| |
|
Please keep wildlife safety in mind when hanging lights and decorations this holiday season. Consider wrapping lights and decorations tightly around posts and trees. Hanging lights should be at least 6 feet off the ground and fastened at the ends. It is also helpful to avoid draping lights around bushes or on trees. Thank you for doing your part to keep our local wildlife safe!

|
|
*The Ranch House will be closed from 1- 5 p.m. the day of the event for set up. Doors will open again at 5 p.m. only to those registered for the event.

| The Carbondale USPS team is currently understaffed. When visiting the RVR mailroom homeowners may find parcels placed on top of the center island or above mail boxes. We implore homeowners to collect their mail regularly.
|
|
|
Homeowners can practice good postal etiquette with the following tips:
|
-
There is limited space in each mail box and with the holidays upon us, 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.
- If you are heading out of town, you should put your mail delivery on hold. You can do so on the USPS website by clicking here.
- 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.

Tom's Door Holiday Giving Program |
|
|
Tom's Door in partnership with RVR is celebrating our ninth annual holiday gift drive for Carbondale Seniors. Over the last eight years, we have experienced a generous outpouring of contributions. The RVR community has a chance this holiday season to provide gift cards to all the 79 residents of Carbondale Senior Housing who otherwise might not have a Christmas. 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 $34,000 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 RVR Ranch House beginning Saturday, Nov. 2 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. We ask that you return the gift card/s into the door's mail slot no later than Sunday, Dec. 8. 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.
