Getting High on Pickleball


Getting High on Pickleball

2016 Angelfire (NM) Beat The Heat Medal Winners!

Congratulation to club members Roger Johnson (L) won Silver and George McCulley (R) won Gold at the tournament after deciding to escape the heat and humidity of the south. With temperatures in the 60's the 8,420 ft elevation still made catching your breath a bit difficult.

Nationals VIII - Guest Housing

It is time to set up this program
Last season it was a great success! 


USAPA NATIONALS VIII

Palm Creek is proudly hosting USAPA Nationals VIII, we would like to offer Guest Housing to USAPA Ambassadors. Some may stay only for a night, some a few days and others for the entire tournament.

If you will be at Palm Creek and have a second bedroom or a pull out couch and are willing to host our dedicated volunteers, you will be providing a service that will be very much appreciated. The attached guidelines clarifies what a host would need to do and what is expected behavior of the guest.

Friendly neighbors are also welcome to be a host.

Ambassadors need to make travel plans and if not playing, need to register for Clinics, the Seminar and Ambassador Events, which is why we are coordinating this now.

If you will be a host, please e-mail with your preferences:
Ø A single person or a couple
Ø One night, a few days or the entire tournament
Ø  Any other preferences you may have, such as an ambassador from your home state!

I look forward to hearing from you!

 ACCOMODATION GUIDELINES
FOR VISITING AMBASSADORS
November 4-14, 2016

   A bedroom and nearby bathroom is provided for 1-2 Ambassadors during the tournament. It is important that this is conventional living space, not a built out shed or a Casita that does not have a proper bathroom.

   Visiting Ambassadors must provide their own transportation.   We do not recommend you pick them up at an airport.  They need a vehicle to get to/from the events and to go out to eat, get groceries, sightsee etc.

  Hosts should provide some refrigerator space, & time & methods for Ambassadors to prepare their own breakfast.

  Ambassadors can bring snacks for lunches & they also can usually get eats at the events. They should plan on going out to dinner daily.

  Ambassadors MAY take Hosts out to eat and Hosts may invite Ambassadors to share an evening meal with them at home.

  Ambassadors should give some gratuity such as a gift certificate, perhaps at a local restaurant.


  Thoughtfulness and consideration are the orders of the day.

Lisa Harold
Palm Creek General Manager

Dear Residents,

I am pleased to share a special announcement with you. You may be aware that Sun is in the process of a very exciting acquisition set to close in the next few weeks, which will bring many new resorts to our portfolio, spanning from California to Florida and beyond. As part of the reorganization to accommodate these new sister communities, I have been offered and
 accepted a new role as a western Regional Vice President effective June 9th.

In this new role, I will continue to oversee Palm Creek as part of my portfolio and will stay very involved with the resort. Palm Creek has many working parts, and rest assured that we will select a replacement for my position who will continue to manage the resort to the highest level. Once the position has been filled, we will send a notification out to everyone.

Holding the position of General Manager has been a great honor and privilege. I have had the good fortune of working with a phenomenal team and I leave the resort in very capable hands. Palm Creek will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I treasure the time I have spent with all of you. I look forward to being a partner in leading the resort through new exciting projects to come.

Thank you for your residency and support during this transition!
Sincerely,

Lisa Harold, General Manager
Palm Creek Golf & RV Resort
