FROM THE OFFICE

1. REMINDER: The entire pool area will be closed beginning on October 5, 2020. It will remain closed for a week or two while we have some updat-ing and refurbishing done.

2. Please remember that feeding strays and feeding pigeons is prohibited and is a violation of the rules and regulations of the park. If this applies to you, we ask you to stop immediately. Also remember that no animals can roam free through-out the park…. This includes cats. If you have a cat, it must be an indoor cat and cannot be left outside unattended. With all animals, you are responsible for picking up after them and not let-ting them wander on to your neighbors’ lots. While we are a very pet friendly community, please understand that not everyone has pets or wants other’s pets on their lots. Please be re-spectful of your fellow residents.

3. During October, we will be adding some nice im-provements in the dog park. We will need to close the dog park for a couple of days while this takes place and will noti-fy residents as soon as we have those exact dates nailed down.

4. All common areas have been reopened. However, there are still guidelines and stipulations for using any of these areas. No guests are allowed at any time, masks are REQUIRED, no more than 10 people in an area, etc. These are posted on the doors and gates leading into these common areas. We are keeping a close eye on the CDC guide-lines to see when it is safe for us to open areas up more and get back to normal functions. We will certainly keep everyone up to date as things pro-gress. Again, we thank everyone for their under-standing and patience during these unusual times.

5. Keep in mind that washing your vehicles or other activities that use excessive amounts of water is prohibited on property.

6. PICKLEBALL AN-YONE? We have several residents that are interested in getting together to learn and play pick-leball as the temper-atures cool down. Please call the office to have your name added to the list if you are interested in joining in. We will put everyone in touch with each other and look for-ward to having some fun while getting a little exercise at the same time!!

Week of Oct 5th


ROYAL PALM PARK ASSOCATION ITEMS

Getting Active

As things stand at this time the Card Room, Exercise and Pool Room, and the Clubhouse are open with some restrictions—but at least they are open!

With the return of our winter residents, and all the things we have had to do without, it seems like the time for a whole new start with ALL of our participa-tion in the games that are offered. If you have never tried any of our games this would be the perfect time to start some if not all this year. Not knowing HOW to play them is no problem as the ones listed are oh so easy to learn and all who play are very good teachers who would love to teach new players the ins and outs of each game.

Mexican Train, Marbles and Jokers, and Hand and Foot are the easiest to learn. (Bingo is also easy but won’t be starting yet) All those start at 6:00 PM and generally last three hours or so. There are no fees for the three games listed.

We have a very small group who play Bridge and would really like to have more join them; those who do play would be more than happy to teach new play-ers. Even if you once played but have not for years it is not that hard to get back into it. This game is on Wednesdays at 11:30 AM and does have a $1 buy in.

On Thursdays at noon we play poker—oly fun poker only. If you want to play serious poker, that is on Saturdays at 1:00 PM—Texas Holdem. There is a $5 buy in for the fun poker, but it is strictly for FUN.

Our Women’s Club meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 10:00 AM. This is a social group and besides doing good for different organizations they also have fun activities throughout the year.

When possible to have large groups meeting our As-sociation meetings are on the third Saturday of each month. There we discuss things going on in the Park and plan events as well.

With people moving and with deaths in the Park, res-ident participation has declined over the last few years. We realize the demographics of the Park are changing but we ask you all to seriously consider participating or to at least try each of the game a few times. You may find you like a couple or even all, and will play all the time. Check the listing of games on page 13 for contact and schedule information.

Alerts And Reminders

Want to receive community info and alert messages and event reminders via email and/or text message? Contact Dave Violette to sign up, (602) 803-5615 or [email protected]. Forms are availa-ble at the Office.

Meetings

We are still not able to hold large meetings in the Clubhouse, so our Association meetings are still on hold. If the restrictions continue into the fall we may be able to have a larger group meeting outside on the Clubhouse patio once temperatures are down. We miss seeing you all!!

In the meantime, the Association Board will have monthly meetings to manage the business of the As-sociation.

WE KNOW THAT THIS SEEMS REPETITIVE MONTH TO MONTH! THERE IS LIT-TLE CHANGE IN ASSOCIATION (IN)ACTIVITY AT THIS TIME


Outstanding Home of the Month – October 2020

Peggy Soto and Jim Stoner—C112 A home well deserved to win Outstanding Home of

the Month! The homeowner receives a $25 credit on rent for that

month. Be sure to mention it when paying rent.

SENIOR RESOURCES—VOTING

It’s great to see so much enthusiasm for the upcom-ing election here at Royal Palm! I love driving

around and seeing all the banners waving in the wind. Whether you’re Red or Blue, those flags are a sure sign that you are involved and there will be a

large voter turnout. As a swing-state, it’s more im-portant than ever to get your vote on!

The downside is that there has been so much confu-sion on social media. I’ve seen posts on sites like Fa-

cebook and Next Door that contain misinformation regarding mail-in ballots, early voting, issues with the postal service and who we can allow to handle

our ballots. Let’s weed through some of this together and get to the facts.

Mail-in ballots will be sent out beginning the week of Oct. 7. Postage-paid envelopes are provided, and of-ficials urge voters to mail them back by Oct. 28 so

that they arrive by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3. Mail-in ballots can also be dropped off at county bal-lot drop boxes, early voting sites, or Election Day

voting sites.

It’s a good idea to check now to see if you are regis-tered and make sure all of your information is cor-rect. Here are some links to sites where you can do

just that. Of the three listed below, I found Service Arizona the easiest to use. If you run in to any prob-lems, just give them a call. The agencies are happy to

help, You can access the Royal Palm newsletters

online to open the links here or type as shown be-

low.

SENIOR RESOURCES—VOTING (cont’d)

I completed my mail in ballot, now

what?

There’s been some controversy about the Postal Ser-

vice possibly being overwhelmed with the number of ballots they will encounter. If you are worried about your ballot getting where it needs to be on time, there

are a few alternatives. Early in-person early voting opens Oct. 7, to help voters avoid long Election Day lines. Also, some polling places may have closed or

moved due to the pandemic; check with your county recorder. Maricopa County has expanded early vot-ing sites to help ease Election Day crowds.

A little more about the pandemic. Arizona is provid-

ing masks, hand sanitizer, single-use pens, cleaning supplies, signs, other equipment, and special training for poll workers. Masks are a good idea, but you will

not be turned away if you choose to forego wearing one.

If you do mail in your ballot, please remember that you do not need to add postage to a mail-in ballot,

and it’s important to remember to sign the back of the envelope for their verification purpose. Please be aware that ballots must be returned by the voter, a

family member, household member or designated caregiver. It’s nice to offer to drop off a ballot for a friend or neighbor, but please don’t as it’s a Class 6 felony.

You can go to your polling location on the day of the

General Election and drop off your ballot. You don’t need to wait in line, the poll workers are happy to show you where to take your ballot. If you are cast-

ing your ballot at your polling location, you will need

(Continued from page 5) to show your I.D. to vote. The acceptable forms of I.D. are:

• Valid Arizona driver license

• Valid Arizona non-operating identification card

• Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal

identification

• Valid United States federal, state, or local gov-ernment-issued identification

You may track the status of your ballot at My.Arizona.Vote to confirm that it was received and

counted. You can also verify that your vote by mail ballot has been received with the county recorder’s office in the county in which you voted.

Assistance for Disabled Voters

Accessible Polling Places: All polling locations and

vote centers have been chosen with special needs voters in mind. Each location will provide handicap parking and be able to accommodate individuals in

wheelchairs, as well as individuals with visual or hearing impairments. Oftentimes a temporary modi-fication will be made to the polling location provid-

ing easier accessibility for the voter.

Accessible Voting Systems: All polling locations and vote centers must have an accessible voting de-vice for use by voters with disabilities. In addition to the accessible voting devices, each poling location

will have magnifying instruments, large print ver-sions of the publicity pamphlets and trained poll workers who are ready to assist you. View the acces-

sible voting device that will be used in your coun-ty (PDF).

COOKBOOK PROJECT

There will be a Cookbook meeting on Tuesday, Octo-ber 5th at 10:30 in the Clubhouse...wear your mask. We will working on details of the cookbook.

Among the items to be decided are the wording to go on the cover, what typeface to use, and the color of the coil binding. We cannot change the dividers since those are preprinted.

The paper used will be a cream color, not white.

The cookbook will have advertising to help offset the printing cost. We can have a full color ad on the rear page. There are various ad size options and prices for inside advertising. Those ads can be companies, or-ganizations, or individuals. An ad type that we can all participate in is Patrons; these listings will cost $15 each.

We still need lots of recipes!! See the insert in this newsletter for forms on which to record your recipe info. Use each side for different recipes. When done, turn them in to Gail Brazell (R446) or Joan Padilla (D65).

Please call Gail Brazell, (602) 327-8125, for more info.

ROYAL PALM BLOCK WATCH

Our Volunteers

Our PNP-Block Watch group consists of volunteers from our community who spend time on patrol in the Park. Some do it daily, others less frequently, but it all counts and is important. Our volunteers are:

Bob and Patti Dinsmore, Dave and Elaine Violette, Diana Lasky, Mary McDougale, Ginny Bradshaw, Dawn Capaci, Lu Albanese, John Koch, and Gail Brazell, who were joined recently by Walt Richard-son, Michael Dowodzenka, and Mike and Joan Pa-dilla.

Contact if any questions or concerns:

[email protected]

What We Do

Our Block Watch volunteers go on patrol throughout the community at various times of day and night. Their job is to be the eyes and ears of the community. They observe what is going on, who is coming or go-ing, and will report serious problems directly to the Police. Other concerns and less serious problems are reported to the Office. Block Watch volunteers do not have police power and cannot stop and question people. Their presence is also a deterrent.

Monthly Meeting

Our PNP-Block Watch group will meet on October 6th at 7PM to discuss patrol experiences and issues and other matters. The meetings are open to any resi-dent. Meeting in the Clubhouse, masks required.

ROYAL PALM WOMENS CLUB

Vice President; Ingrid Schneider, B179, (562) 343-3348, Secretary; and Frances Hedrick, A198, (602) 881-8704, Treasurer. The President position is cur-rently vacant.

We look forward to meeting our new members and getting together again with our old friends.

The Women's Club has resumed meeting in the Club-house now that it is open. Please observe the rules posted at the door.

We hope to see you soon and please bring any ideas you have or would like to see the Women’s Club do for the people of the Park. Officers for the Women’s Club are: Joyce Valenzuela, D35, (602) 373-1733,

OCTOBER CALENDAR

As things have opened up during the COVD-19 pandemic there is a lot of uncertainty about what we can do and when. The calendar below shows what would “normally” take place, but this is subject to new rules and requirements that can change from week to week. At the time of writing this newsletter, the only items that are certain are the Block Watch meeting, the Cookbook meeting, and the newsletter deadline and folding.

About Feral Cats

Several residents have been adversely affected by feral cats urinating on their property. In one case, a resident was sickened seriously for two or more days because wild cats had urinated around his shed and property.

If you have feral cats coming to your property please contact the Office so they can take appropriate ac-tions.

Senior Chuckle

Actually I'm not complaining because I am a Senager (Senior teenager - not senile). I have everything that I wanted as a teenag-er, only 60 years later. I don’t have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don’t have a curfew. I have a driver’s license and my own car. The people I hang around with are not scared of getting anyone preg-nant. And I don’t have acne…Life is great!

I have more friends I should send this to, but right now I can't remember their names. Now, I’m wondering…did I send this to you, or did you send it to me?
