President’s Message
by Keith Nelson
A Valuable Asset
We sometimes take for granted the support the CTC receives from Linda Caton and the HOA Recreation Department. This includes not only financial but more importantly, program support with management, the HOA Board, and homeowners.
From a financial standpoint, Linda’s budget supplies us with necessities such as nets, numbers, benches, wind screens, rollers, and other supplies.
She is also our most important advocate outside of our club members in keeping our programs strong and unaffected by small groups of homeowners with their own agendas.
If you get the chance, please thank Linda for her valuable and continuing support.
Recreation Committee
Several weeks ago I had to give a presentation to the Recreation Committee on where the CTC is now and where we project to be in the future. One purpose was to give the committee a feel for future facility needs for all Cottonwood Palo Verde clubs.
One comment I wish to pass on to you was made by Richard Hawkes, the HOA board liaison to the committee. He stated “On behalf of the HOA Board, I would like to state that the way the CTC manages itself and represents our community sets the standard to which all other clubs should be measured against”. This is high praise and we should be proud of our club.
