Renovation Updates

The final inspections for the East Wing Addition have been completed, and a few remaining items are being addressed. We expect the addition to open soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

As many of you know, we recently welcomed Casey Miller as our new Director of Programming and Community Engagement! Casey brings many years of experience from her career with Aspen Skiing Company. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to welcome Casey and celebrate Ali Anderson’s long tenure during a gathering on June 1st. It was well attended, thank you to all who came out. 

While we will greatly miss Ali, we are thrilled to have Casey as a part of the team. Please introduce yourself and give her a warm welcome when you visit the Ranch House.

In addition to this, we are also happy to announce that Jessica Hennessy is taking on an expanded role as Director of Community Services. Jessica has been part of the RVR team for over a decade and has worked in nearly every area of the organization. In this role, Jessica will act as a senior manager, providing functional guidance to Casey, which will greatly assist her as she takes on her new position.  Additionally, Jessica will also take over logistics and communication surrounding Ranch House Memberships.

Please join us in welcoming Casey and congratulating Jessica!

We are pleased to announce the results of this year's RVRMA Executive Board election.

Following the call for candidates, three Statements of Interest were received from:

As the number of candidates equals the number of open positions, the election is uncontested and will not be held. In accordance with the RVRMA Policy for Board of Directors Elections, the candidates will be elected by acclamation.

Alexander “Z” Hoffman, Ben Johnston, and Todd Richmond will be installed to the RVRMA Executive Board at the upcoming July Board meeting.

Carl Hostetter has chosen not to seek another term. We sincerely thank him for his years of dedicated service and his many important contributions to the Board.

It’s great to see the pool being so well used and enjoyed this season. As a kind reminder, please take a moment to review pool etiquette and safety reminders so we can help keep the pool safe, fun, and welcoming for everyone all summer long.

Snack Bar: Open daily from 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

At the May 27, 2026 Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved moving forward with the proposed Vacant Lot Improvement Policy for community review. In accordance with the RVR’s Policy Adoption Process, the draft policy will be posted for a minimum 30-day community feedback period before returning to the Board for final consideration and vote.

With the growing number of e-bikes, e-scooters, and One wheels in our neighborhood, we ask parents to help reinforce safe riding habits with their children.

Please encourage riders to wear a helmet every time they ride, regardless of distance or experience. We also ask that all riders follow the rules of the road, obey stop signs, yield to pedestrians, and ride responsibly at all times.

We have received reports of a few recent "close calls" on the RVR shared path involving riders and pedestrians, so please remind children to slow down, stay alert, and be courteous to others using the path. A few simple safety reminders can help prevent accidents and keep our community safe.

Did You Know? Controlling Noxious Weeds Isn't Just Good Stewardship—It's Required in Garfield County. Garfield County requires property owners to manage noxious weeds on their land. These invasive plants can spread quickly, crowd out native vegetation, reduce wildlife habitat, and impact neighboring properties.
