| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | MAY 2023 | 3 General Manager's Message By Rick Ruth, CMCA Summer is almost here! Our community has weathered the rainy season and we hope the worst is behind us. A nice benefit is all of the wildflowers on the hillsides, especially out at Diamond Valley Lake. So, what's been going on? • The Elections were held last month and Jim, Roxy and Cliff were re-elected for two-year terms. • The Social Committee and Activities Director are planning all kinds of events for the remainder of 2023. Please keep an eye out for announcements and check out the posters in The Lodge displaying the upcoming events. • E-blasts providing valuable information are going out regularly to inform and notify Residents of upcoming events and activities. • The Board has been very busy approving projects and will also be reviewing recommendations from the committees for upcoming projects. Many of these projects are listed in the committee section of the magazine. Don't Shoot e Messenger: It is apparent that many residents (some new) assume that the management staff approves or denies projects, rules and regulations, and architectural plans. Not true. The Board of Directors makes all of the final decisions, approves the rules and directs the committees to perform their roles. The committees and management are the messengers who relay resident concerns to the Board and then carry their directives out. The Board granted authority to the management staff to assist in enforcement of the rules and CC&Rs. The Board also granted authority to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) to approve or deny resident's plans and exhibits, not the staff. We are merely the letter writers (messengers). So, if you have any association related concerns or issues, please don't take it out on our staff, they are doing their best to help you. Submit your concerns in writing and either drop them off at the front desk (or via email) and we will make sure your concern is appropriately addressed. I have guests coming, what do I do? We are reminding residents to log any guests or deliveries into dwellingLIVE so they can be checked into the system. If you need help logging your guests into dwellingLIVE, please call the front desk, not the gatehouse. If you have guests coming to play bingo, tell them they must tell the front gate attendant they are here for bingo. We've had some problems with this recently and appreciate your cooperation in advance. Stay informed: If you are not receiving our emails, PLEASE SIGN UP! If nothing else, the current worldwide events have shown us the importance of keeping up electronically with current events and issues that affect you as a resident. Stop by the front desk and take a minute to fill out the E-Blast Authorization Form. Finally, on this upcoming Memorial Day, let us all pause to remember the sacrifices that our Veterans have made. To all of our resident Veterans, we say "thank you for your service!" We owe all of our military a huge debt of gratitude for their service, especially the fallen soldiers, for securing our country's freedom. May you and your family have a safe and peaceful Memorial Day!
