We live in a wonderful, friendly community here in Ranch of the Rockies. I don?t think I?ll get a lot of argument about that. Living in a community such as ours, everyone is responsible for our peaceful, serene way of life. With that in mind, we don?t want a lot of changes made to our way of living, and if you agree with that philosophy, you might think about running to be on the Board of Directors. Believe it or not, you CAN make a difference here. 
I ran to be on the BOD so that I could help keep things running well. The BOD really does exist, and they are a great group! We are working for you – for ALL of us here in RORA. Do you have an opinion about something here on the Ranch? If so, we?d love to hear from you. Come by and sit in on one of our monthly board meetings. You?ll find out exactly what goes on and what type of issues we work on.
I love looking out our windows at the beautiful scenery all around us. The full moon a couple nights ago was just breathtaking! Here it is mid-April and we?re getting a beautiful snowfall. So happy for the moisture!! I see some Aspens starting to caterpillar already. Nature really is amazing! Soon we?ll be getting our fishing gear out and heading to the pond for some fishing and kicking back. We?ll also be tuning up the ATV?s for some fun trail riding! Can?t wait!
Take care, Neighbors! Until next time,
Brenda Whelan, RORA BOD Treasurer
