I’m OK

Here at RCE we want to make sure you are A-OK!

The “I’m Okay Club” is a program for guests and

residents who are living alone.

Once you sign up with the Activity Office, you

must call in daily before 10:00 am. This is just a

daily check-in by phone that allows us to make

sure you are OK. If you don’t call in by 10:00 am,

we will try and reach you. If we are unsuccessful,

we will come to your house and check on you.

Please stop by the Activity Office to sign up. We

look forward to seeing you.

Safety from Wildlife

The weather is cooling and

this is a time when rattle-

snakes might seek the

warmth of a cozy asphalt

street after sundown.

For maximum safety carry a flashlight when you

are walking at night, keep pets on a leash, and

remain alert to an unlikely, but possible, encoun-

ter.

Speed Limit

Also please observe the 10-mph

speed limit inside the park.

AED Devices & 911 Phones

We have one Automated External Defibrillator

(AED) devices and one 911 Emergency phone.

Make it a point to learn their locations. There is

one of each in the Breezeway near the Office.

Stay tuned to “The Villager” for upcoming CPR

and AED classes. You could save a life!

Safety First!

A Few Words

from George

Welcome back to all of our friends and family to

what we think will be a very exciting year! We

once again thank you for joining us for the start of

another season, our 39th in fact, beginning at Rin-

con Country East RV Resort.

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the sum-

mer months go by and the amount of work we are

able to accomplish. Every year we strive to make

Rincon Country RV Resort the best place to live for

our visitors.

You probably will notice some exciting changes

around our resort. We do our best to listen to all

of our guests and implement the suggestions that

you have made.

Rincon Country always stays ahead of the game

and being prepared is key when operating our re-

sorts. We have upgraded our transformers

throughout the park which will ensure solid electri-

cal connection for years to come.

One of the biggest changes is our new lighting in

the Auditorium. There are also noticeable changes

in our Activity Office, Front Office and Card/Poker

Room.

You will also notice some new faces around RCE in

our Front Office, Housekeeping, and Activity Office.

Don’t be shy, and make sure you pop in to intro-

duce yourself. We are also excited to announce

our Ambassadors are back this season to help get

our guests settled into their home away from

home.

As we say in Ireland, fáilte abhaile or welcome

home!

names on a piece of paper and put it in our

“Guess The Actor” box for your chance to win a

free ticket to one of our events! We will pick the

winner at the last coffee of each month!

You need to be present to win.

Make sure to join us for a free donut and cup of

coffee in the Auditorium on Wednesday morn-

ings. Bring your own mug and fill it up with hot

coffee (regular or decaf) or hot water for tea. As

you pass through the hall between the Rec. Hall

and Auditorium, select a donut or a piece of

fruit.

We’ll give you important park news hot off the

press, and there will usually be a brief message

from our coffee sponsor. Doors open at 8:30

am. Coffee and donuts will be served at 9:00 as

our program begins. See you there!

Gong which is a gentle form of soft movement for all skill levels, and Social Dancing. Foodie Club will also

be hosting a new class all about gadgets for your kitchen. We will also host two CPR classes this season. All

residents can take part in the class for $10.00. We will also be offering an AARP Smart Driver’s Class this sea-

son!

Seminars: We will hear from organizations and non-profits from all over the county such as Southern Arizo-

na Rescue Association. The Amerind Museum will come to talk with us about archaeology and migration in

the Southwest. The Boys and Girls Club of Tucson will be here to talk about what programs they are offering

local youth and families. Border Patrol will come in to talk about their work in the local area. The Interna-

tional Wildlife Museum will be at RCE to talk about all the critters around the Southwest.

Events: From our Ghostbusters themed Halloween Dance to our Wizard of Oz Themed “No Place Like

movies that we will feature will be: Kelly’s Heroes, The Godfather, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Grease, Blues

Brothers, The Christmas Story, and Saturday Night Fever. We are highly encouraging everyone to dress up

for the dances and events. Not sure what to wear? That’s okay - The Gaslight Theater Costume Shop is

offering all RCE guests 20% off costumes! Or stop in the Activity Office to get some help!

As you can see, we are SUPER excited for the season to get rockin’ and rollin’!

Karen’s Corner “Tis the Season”...at Rincon Country East! Once again our Winter residents and guests will

be arriving from the North to soak up the sun and fun. We are looking forward to seeing

all the familiar faces returning for another season and meeting newcomers who experi-

ence our resort for the first time.

Our office staff will be enhanced with two part-time helpers, Jasmine and Mary. Joanne will be returning for

her fourth year and this will be my second season. Stop by the office to let us know that you have returned

and to say hello to our new gals!

During the summer months, our new Activity Director, Shannon worked in the office and I must say she did an

amazing job. Shannon was busy making reservations, giving the Activity Office a much needed new look

along with new paint in the Card Room and main office. Thank you so much Shannon!

Mark and Randy, our Maintenance team, worked on many projects during the summer. I am certain that you

will see all of the improvements in the resort from their efforts.

Our Housekeeping Supervisor, Francisca is also back for her second season and we are lucky to have Mildred,

who will be helping her this season.

The Post Office is still well managed by Terry. Both he and his wife, Pat, worked many hours over the summer

months locking up and managing our phones after hours.

Thank you to our amazing staff and year round residents, “The Summer Buddies” who kept the resort alive

and well during the hot months at RCE.

A big shout out to Judy! Her energy, effort and devotion to creating enriching activities and events each sum-

mer for our year-round residents makes such a difference!
