| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | DECEMBER 2020 | 3 General Manager's Message By Rick Ruth, CMCA Every year, we look forward to December for many reasons. This year has been especially challenging for everyone. We are still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic and that will cause some changes to the committee's decorating plans. Unless the Governor moves us out of the "Purple" stage and into another, some of the rooms will not be decorated as in the past. The committee has plans to beautifully decorate the lobby, hallways, library, Multipurpose Room, and the Arts & Crafts Room. As in years past, several trees will be set up in The Lodge lobby, and residents are encouraged to pick up a tag to purchase gifts for less fortunate. Many people benefit from the generosity of Four Seasons residents. The Board approved funding to decorate the outside of The Lodge, Gazebo, and our main entrance with lighting and colorful decorations. I encourage residents to come and see the beautifully decorated Lodge and its surroundings. We are blessed with many giving, generous people who dedicate a lot of their time to this endeavor. As of this writing, guests are still not allowed in The Lodge. Hopefully, that restriction will be lifted, but please call The Lodge to be sure. Management staff has noticed many yards are still being over watered. This has been an ongoing issue. The excess water draining off of the front yards and out of the landscape drains is causing damage to the asphalt which is costly (and not covered under our current warranty) to re-surface and/or repair. When polled, many residents either didn't know where the controller was or how to operate it. If that is you, we strongly suggest you contact a lawn professional or ask a neighbor to help you make the necessary adjustments to your irrigation timer. As this year draws to a close, I want to thank you for your continued support in allowing me to serve your community for the past 13 years. I would also like to acknowledge our management staff members who, without their collective efforts, would make managing your community very difficult, if not impossible. Those individuals who make this happen are Mari Salazar, Assistant General Manager, Tracie Rodgers, Activities Director, Maria Donti, ARC/Administrative Assistant, and our Lodge Attendants Brenda, Julie, Tracie Long, Katie, and newest member, Diana. We are very fortunate to have a staff that really cares about providing the best customer service to each and every one of you, making every effort to be good stewards of your money, and who strive to meet the daily challenges that come with managing an active adult community. We also gratefully acknowledge our Board of Directors: Jim Crase, Greg Rockvam, Tony Criscenti, Ken Pounders, Jim Hatcher, Cliff Post, and Jerry Hawkins, who give many hours of service to this community, and, most importantly, give us their full support and encouragement. As we look forward to enjoying the holidays, may you and your loved ones enjoy the peace and blessings of the holiday season!
