Personal opinion:

I believe we would be better served if we had a

committee of members work on the rules. Members issues could be forwarded to this committee We

could have a short statement in the news letter that there will be a rules committee and ask for volun-

teers. It not something that needs to be done right away.

Bill Schmall

Editor’s Response:

While a rules committee

may be forthcoming allow me

to remind each of our

members in good standing that

there is a suggestion box in the

Clubhouse ready to receive all

suggestions. Additionally, you

may also write or email me in

enough time to have your

suggestions presented at the

next Board meeting.

One owner. Like new.

Well, another year is coming to a

close and again we have had such

great Camp Hosts this year. As was

mentioned last month, Gert Watrous

was our solo Camp Host for the

month of November. At the same

time, she hosted her own group in

the Park. Hats off to you girl,

you did a great job!

This month our Camp Hosts will be

the wonderful and lovely

Bill and Louise Harrah, Eugene

Kroeker and Pennie Locke.

If you would be interested in Camp

Hosting next year, we’d love to talk

with you about it. Call the office

and we’ll get you started.

Thank you


Fellow Members:

May I be one of the first to wish you and your

loved ones a very Merry Christmas! December came

quickly and Christmas is only weeks away. Once

again the activities at our Park have been happening

quickly at the holiday time. The Thanksgiving

Dinner was a tremendous success as always with

many members attending along with friends and

family. Facilitating the dinner was Gert Watrous, our

current Camp Host. A big thank you is extended to

Gert for her leadership and hard work. Also,

tremendous thanks to Howard Boos and Larry Orth

for their efforts to cook the turkeys, the hams, the

outstanding dressing, and the mashed potatoes and

gravy. It was a monumental job, but with Howard at

the helm, the results were outstanding. The side

dishes that members enjoyed Thanksgiving Day were

all brought by members. How blessed we are to have

such talented and helpful individuals sharing in our

park activities. Thanks also to Kim Moore and

Cherri Armer for their efforts in not only getting the

Thanksgiving Dinner off to a good start, but also

facilitating the Craft Fair.

The new board had their first regular meeting

on November 19, 2011, in the Clubhouse.

Approximately 35 memberships were represented at

the meeting. There was a tremendous amount of

work to get done and lots of tasks for the future. I am

personally gratified to see each Board member

willing to take on their assigned tasks and work as a

unit to accomplish the goals for the park during 2012.

Additionally, a special thank you is extended to all

those members who gave up a day of recreation in the

park to fold, stuff, seal, post and mail the dues letters.

They were all troopers at getting the dues letters into

the U.S. mail that day.

Have you noticed the work being done on the

inside of the cabins? If you have not “taken a peek”

inside the cabins, now is the time. There was much

more work required on the cabins than what had been

completed on the outside. The inside of the cabins

remained much the same as they were when the units

were purchased over twenty years ago. The Board

had discussed at length the most efficient and cost

effective path to upgrading and remodeling the

interiors of the cabins. Then Steve volunteered to

“redo” one of the cabins on his own. Steve has a

very educated eye toward color and texture and paint.

He and Jose began to tackle Cabin 51 as a test case.

The results were amazing. He had sent a photo of

Cabin 51 to my cell phone and asked that it be kept

quiet as a surprise to the Board upon their return to

the park. I was so surprised, that I sent him a

message back saying, “Are you sure this is one of our

cabins?” Needless to say the staff has been given the

assignment of completing each cabin separately.

Each cabin needs different types of attention. Some

will require new appliances and others will require

actual carpentry work. The work thus far has been

overwhelmingly positive. So much so that the Board

recommended that the park refrain from referring to

the units as “cabins” and begin to call them

“cottages.” This small change is a positive first step

in describing the upgrades.

Lots of Christmas decorating is in the works.

Steve and the staff members are working toward

completing the decorating. It is their intent to enter

the park once again in the Pismo Beach contest for

the business with the best Christmas decorations. We

won an award from Pismo Beach City Council for the

best decorations in the City last year. From the look

of things, our park is definitely in the running again

this year.

Your Board is working hard to provide the

best possible stay for you and your loved ones when

you are in the park. This includes not only the

upgrading of the buildings, repairing of the roadways,

putting technology in place wherever it will make

your stay better and keep you better informed, and

providing equipment to staff to make their jobs more

efficient and cost effective. It also includes fund

raising and providing various activities for you and

your family to enjoy while vacationing in Pismo

Beach. Your input in this endeavor is invaluable.

Please take the time to let the Board or the staff know

if you have a great idea!

With YOU!

As a heads up to all members, it appears that

work on the roads will commence in February

2012. The schedule has not been completely

nailed down as of this writing, but should take

final form in January. The work will be part of

Phase I of the road maintenance and

replacement and will include pouring cement on

the approach to the park through the entrance

and up to the office ramp. The work will also

include a new cement porch and ramp on the

office and a widening of the radius on the north

side of the entrance. This widening of the

radius will make those dreaded right turns out of

the park much easier with more turning space.

New entrance lighting, railing and landscaping

will be part of Phase I. The road project will be

done in phases based upon the income derived

from the sale of park memberships only. The

park will not be closed during the road upgrade,

however, it will require some accommodation

for members coming and going. Check with the

office or watch your newsletter for upcoming

announcements as to entering and leaving the

park before your next stay beginning in

February 2012.

As we approach the Christmas Season,

let us allow the peace of the season to permeate

our lives both at the park in Pismo Beach and at

our various homes. May we resolve to follow

the Christmas example of the One who set the

perfect standard for living as we move forward

as park members and as a corporation with a

common interest during 2012.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

from your Board of Directors and the Staff of

After discussion it was decided that we should check into

what the current replacement cost would be for the cottages

and the office. Larry will check into this and report back to

the Board in January.

Critique of Annual Meeting:

Very few members were upset by the voting.

The set up was good. It was suggested that there be isles in

the middle of the rows next year. There were concerns

about the sale of memberships by the park. Concerns about

the repairs of the buildings were also voiced.

Vicki read several letters she received from members after

the meeting.

Furniture:

The new furniture for the cottages, loft and clubhouse has

been received and put in place. It all looks very nice.

will go towards the road repairs.

Mark advised the Board that we currently have two (2)

account. He, Vicki and Inger will determine if we need to

keep two (2) accounts and how best to use them or if they

should be combined into one (1) account.

approximately $75,000.00 to roll into next year. He has

Relay for Life at Pismo Creek RV

May 1, 2012

Sitting in the office one day I was reflecting

on how many phone calls we had received that week

from our members who were calling to delay their

vacation with us because someone in their family had

recently heard the words, “You have cancer.”

Cancer touches all our lives in so many ways.

It is scary, frustrating, painful, sad and infuriating. It

changes everything. It is easy to give in to a feeling of

helplessness when you watch what it is capable of.

However, as helpless as we may feel, we can do

something about it. We can fight back.

One of the ways I have found to fight back is

to Relay. To Relay for Life. Actually, Relay for Life is

the name of the signature fundraising event for the

American Cancer Society. It looks like this, one day/

night of the year people from all walks of life come

together for 24 hours to Celebrate cancer survivors,

Remember those who have lost their battle with

cancer and to Fight Back against this deadly disease.

They forms teams, raise money and walk around a

track for 24 hours. “Cancer never sleeps so for one

night, neither will we.”

I am putting together a mini Relay event for

our park; just 12 hours set aside for us to come

together to CELEBRATE, REMEMBER AND

FIGHT BACK!

Watch for details on joining me

next month...Inger

are waiting for two (2) more bids before starting the work.

Phase II will be the valley gutter. Phase III will be the

asphalt.

Larry made a motion that we go ahead with Phase I;

seconded by Mark. Susan polled the Board members for

their vote: Larry – yes; Vicki – yes; Mark – yes; Cherri –

yes; Kim – yes; Howard – yes; Susan – yes. Passed

unanimously.

Change in Phone Hours:

Susan made a motion that we change the phone hours.

The office will open at 8:00 am but the office staff will not

answer telephones until 9:00 am; Howard seconded the

motion. Passed.

Continue work on cottages:

Larry made a motion that Steve continue work on the

cottages; seconded by Cherri. Passed.

Suggestion Box:

Susan read the comments that were received in the

suggestion box.

Director’s Reports:

Howard Boos – Special Projects:

Howard advised those present that all of the electrical

work at the entrance of the park needs to be redone.

Cherri Armer – Social Activities:

Cherri announced that the Thanksgiving craft fair will be

held Saturday from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. Donations are

being accepted for table space.

In February a Valentine’s sweetheart event is planned and

includes the melodrama on Sunday and dinner & dance on

Monday.

Kim Moore – Fund Raising:

Kim said they will be decorating 0764 for New Year’s Eve

and asked for volunteers.

There will be a 50/50 raffle during the valentine’s event.

Larry Orth – Insurance:

Larry reported that the park’s insurance agent attended the

office.

through May. We need more hosts and all corporate
