Kay Voorheis, President _____________________________________________________________________ I t is hard to believe that it is April already and many of you will be making preparations to head north for the summer. As you are preparing, please remember to make arrangements to have your plants and shrubs looked after in your absence. Also take any items that might take to the air in a bad storm. Before you leave, notify the office of when you are leaving and who to contact in case of an emergency. While we don’t anticipate emergencies, it is always good to be prepared. A community open forum meeting was held on March 6 and was very well attended. Julie Williams of the Largo Police Department presented information relating to Neighborhood Watch Programs. As a follow up to that, we will be starting up a Community Watch Committee which will be chaired by John McComas. The initial planning meeting was held on March 31st. Christine Huebel from the Largo Parks and Recreation Department also attended and spoke of the many and varied activities offered by the City of Largo. Gerry Soules, President of the Ranchero Village Homeowners Association, also spoke at the meeting. Bill Reynolds recently resigned from the Board of Directors. Bill has served on the Board since its inception and has made many contributions to the Board and the park as a whole. Thank you for all your years of service Bill! The Co-Op will be hosting a pork barbeque on Thursday, April 5 at the Hacienda Clubhouse. We plan to serve from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. If you know someone who will need to have a meal delivered, please notify the office by April 4. Due to the anticipated number of people at this barbeque, we are asking that no one ask for take outs until after 1:30 p.m. The Association of Ranchero Village Homeowners Inc. Gerry Soules, President _____________________________________________________________________ W ith the January elections over and our membership drive to collect dues wrapping up, your HOA is now concentrating on our Committee events. First, I would like to say thank you to all those who paid their dues which will allow us to keep going this year. With all the e-mail addresses, we will reduce costs and be much more accessible for information sharing and communication. To those who have not paid, we ask you to consider supporting your Association. We cannot make everyone happy but without an HOA, we will stand alone without any support in our efforts to continue improvements in the Village. ....continued on page 6 RANCHERO VILLAGE BULLETIN APRIL, 2012 C 5 35 Certified years in business No complaints unresolved 35 Years in Monthly Media The HOA Committees working with the Co-Op Committees now discuss common goals on Home Sales, Park Improvements, Rules and Regulations, the Prospectus, Neighborhood Watch and of course, our views on the Budget. On behalf of our Executive, thank you and stay tuned as we input your e-mail addresses and bring you information on our future. SAC Committee Karen Ray, President; Leanne Chiz, Vice President; Leslie VanHorn, Secretary; Eileen Condon, Treasurer _____________________________________________________________________ H ere it is April already! Many of you will be leaving and going North for the Summer. We have had a very busy Winter here and we have enjoyed all the activities going on. The Water Color show was well attended and did you all know we had so many talented people here? What wonderful pictures there were. The show raised $1900 for Hospice! Thanks to all the workers that made this program so successful. I am happy to announce we have volunteers to work in the print shop. Pat Ginchoff #271 will be the head of the committee. Sue Plunkett, Huguette Marleau and Vic Rendon are the other workers. Thank you all for volunteering to work at the print shop! Mary Donovan will still be available to help them out. Please get your request for printing to them 2 weeks before you need the items. If you need printing done, please don’t ask Mary but ask one of the others. Thanks Mary for getting the print shop up and running after the fire! As we go the Women’s Club has not had their election yet. Thanks Anne Baldwin for the great job you did as President for the last three years. The ladies of the park appreciate all you and your board did to entertain them. The ice machine at the Corral Clubhouse has been moved into the kitchen there … so it is possible to get ice there anytime the Clubhouse is open. We hope you use it and enjoy it. When it was locked in the back room it wasn’t getting used very much. Thanks to all the residents who volunteers this winter. Without your help many of the activities would have had to shut down. Remember to say thanks to those who volunteer. As those who are leaving to go North please stay safe, and don’t forget to return in the Fall! And for those of us who stay here watch the bulletin for activities going on. We will stay busy I am sure! The SAC Board meets the 3rd Friday of the month at 10:00 a.m. at the Lakes Clubhouse and is open to all. 6 RANCHERO VILLAGE BULLETIN APRIL, 2012 C 35 Certified years in business Can 15 No complaints unresolved Care Clinic Canadians & Visitors Tired of High Prices?

Men’s Club Entertainment Boyd Lee, John VanHorn, Gerry Soules _____________________________________________________________________ T he Men’s Club presented the final two professional entertainment shows for this season in March and what two excellent performances they were. The Marlinaires Variety Show on March 3 and the Mark and Clark Show on March 29 were very well attended. From the comments of the many residents who attended the Marlinaires Show, it was probably one of the best ever presented in our community. The Men’s Club have sponsored professional entertainment in Ranchero Village for the last three years and the shows have been so readily accepted and supported by our residents that plans are now being made to book several shows for next season. Check the Men’s Club Bulletin Board at the Hacienda Clubhouse in April for a list of the Entertainment Performances and the dates for next season.

Shuffleboard Pat Bryant, President … 535-2439 _____________________________________________________________________ T he league season has now ended. Our Monday team ended up in 4th place, and even though our two teams in the Wednesday Sunshine League didn’t place at the top, I am proud of all our team members. We had two new teams, and we tried our best and kept a good attitude, and on top of it, we had a lot of fun. I know next year we will place higher, and have a good time doing it. We have a lot of good people. If anyone is interested in joining our league teams, please call me at 535-2439. Our banquet on the 8th of March was a success. This was the first time we had one here in the park at the Corral Clubhouse, catered by Sonny’s Bar-B-Q which the food was fabulous. It was voted to do it this way again next year. I will have the winners in the tournament played on March 12 and March 15 in next month’s article, along with the leaders in the Turkey Shoot which was played on 3-24. ....continued on page 18 RANCHERO VILLAGE BULLETIN APRIL, 2012 C 17 35 Certified years in business No complaints unresolved 35 Years in Monthly Media We don’t have any other special events scheduled for this month, but we will always have the ‘Horsecollar’ on Tuesdays & Thursdays (weather permitting) starting at 6:30.

Bring 3 dimes and no guarantees on this one. If you don’t know how to play shuffleboard, come anyway and we will show you how. It is not hard and really a lot of fun. We are usually the loudest group in the park. So, you all come! SEE YOU AT THE COURTS! Progressive Euchre – Thursday Nights Carol and Ken Martin ___________________________________________________________________________ W e had a great turnout for Euchre in the month of February. Our numbers are improving! As life in Ranchero speeds up in the last days for snowbirds, we would like to remind you that we will continue regular play until the end of March. Starting in April, you may bring your own cards and play informally even through the summer. We have applied to use the Corral Clubhouse on Thursdays next year, which would be much more comfortable and convenient. More on that later. Play begins at the Lake Clubhouse at 6:30 p.m. and we continue till about 8:30 p.m. We have all levels of players, from novice to experienced! Remember to bring a dollar for prizes for the highest scores and most lone hands.

Bocce Dave Brophy, President – 531-4148; Larry Smith, Vice President – 532-2310 _____________________________________________________________________ W e certainly enjoyed great weather for the 2012 Bocce season. We welcomed new players and enjoyed old rivalries with seasoned players. An end of season banquet was enjoyed at the Country Super Buffet, a favorite of many players. The courts and equipment are available to all residents during the summer months. Why not hone your skills and join us for the next season of league play (January – March) – everyone is welcome. Little Theatre Pat Rudness, President _____________________________________________________________________ A nother season, another show. You all just came, not it’s time to go. We had such fun, but we want you to know, we’re getting ready for next season’s show. That’s right. Sam is tossing around some ideas for his new play. New people are expressing an interest in joining the group and we’re sure you’ll see them on stage. Some of our actors who took a year off are ready to return. By the way, if you have never acted (or not done it since high school or college), and think you’d like to have fun with us next year, please call me at 5380373. You see, Sam writes parts for the number of people who express an interest in being in the play. This year that meant 16 parts. Next year we’d like to see your name on the program. So, if you were in the audience during our performance of “Rumors are Flying” and had an evening of good entertainment and a lot of laughs, please consider calling me before you leave to say, “I Want to Be in the Play Next year.” Approximately 40 people assisted this year in some capacity and about 400 people attended the shows. If you’d like to work with scenery, programs, costuming, etc., etc., we’d also like to know. Our first meeting will be November 14 with auditions on December 13. So put us on your calendar and have a healthy, wonderful, safe summer. See you in the Fall.

Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, call me at 536-0373. If you’re leaving soon, have a safe and healthy summer. We’ll look for you in the Fall.

Thanks to SAC for the best donuts in the world! We had a lot of favorable comments on the refreshments and the products we make! We were pleased that Annie Johnson from the Largo Palms Nursing Home on Starkey Rd. came to visit. Annie provided our workers with such positive feedback, and was so appreciative for our donations of pillows, walker bags, knitted shawls and clothing protectors. Carly White from the White Sewing Center also attended to observe our production. Her son Shane is the one who works magic on our sewing machines when they are not performing properly … as they often do! It encourages the volunteers so much to have this interaction and to know that their selfless time and effort is recognized. A special thank you to Carly and Annie! Outreach has been a BLESSING to all who participate! It means for us “gently older folks” to feel that we are young enough to lend a helping hand for those who are less able in nursing homes and hospice, the veterans and the homeless, especially when it is so difficult to volunteer in more strenuous activities. Our members have no need to leave their home area; they don’t have to face traffic or construction congestion while volunteering for a very good cause. And, not only is participation in Out Reach a helping hand, but an opportunity for fellowship with other Ranchero residents. Please remember that we need replacements for leader and assistant leader. Give special consideration to assuming these positions so that Out Reach can continue its rewarding work for our community. Don’t think that you can’t do it … just step in, we’ll be happy to assist you in the transition. YOU CAN DO IT!! Helping Hands Kathy Swaney _____________________________________________________________________ O nce again we are trying to establish a “HELPING HANDS” program in our community. This is strictly a volunteer program, helping residents in the park who are unable to do things around their homes due to limited mobility. What I need is a few good people (volunteers) and what they are able and willing to do to help someone with special needs. Then I can match helpers with needers. If you want to help or need help with something around your home, please contact Kathy Swaney at 812-5266 or Hazel Koreen at 531-7525. 24 RANCHERO VILLAGE BULLETIN APRIL, 2012 C 35 Certified years in business No complaints unresolved 35 Years in Monthly Media Family Owned & Operated • Serving Florida Since 1977 Family Owned & Operated • Serving Florida Since 1977 Family Owned & Operated • Serving Florida Since 1977 ROOF-OVER WINDOWS VINYL SIDING The Only Patented Lifetime Roof-Over You Will Ever Need! • Quality Workmanship • Fast Installations • Competitively Priced Premium Insulated Siding - Fresh New Look - No More Painting Weather-Lok Trouble Free Replacement screen room alternative with acrylic panels, removable vents, sturdy aluminum frames & total screen room ventilation. •Enhance the Beauty and Value of Your Home •Reduce Your Energy Costs • Maintenance Free •Large Array of Designer Styles & Colors •Accent Your Home with All Types of Decorative Trim and Accessories.

Do not put trash out prior to 7:00 a.m. on the day of pick up. Having it out too early or the night before attracts birds and animals. Bags get torn open and trash blows around. Recycle pick up is Wednesday only. Please be aware of what is going into recycling bins. Wrong products are being put into bins. RECYCLE – Additional bins have been delivered to the maintenance yard for resident convenience. LANDSCAPER ISSUES – If a vehicle is pulled closely to the carport, the blowing crew will not blow the carport around the car. They do not want to damage anyone’s vehicle. Some vehicles are pulled in closely and tightly into the carport and they can’t get in with their equipment. Please be conscious of what you put in your yard. It is hard to see some items on the large mowers. If you have a citrus tree you would like to remove, a permit is required from the City of Largo. Please come to the office to complete the paperwork. ENJOY YOUR GRANDCHILDREN When grandchildren come to visit enjoy the time together but please do not let them drive your golf cart unless they are 18 years old or older per Ranchero Rules and Regulations. DIAL DIRECTORY PHONE BOOK Please check the information in our Community Phonebook and see if yours is accurate. Some have already called with changes. We will be updating the book over the next 2 months getting it ready to go to the printer. Drop off your changes in the office or leave a note in the drop box outside the Hacienda Club House door. Thanks for your help. COMING AND GOING Please remember to check in and out with the office when you leave or return to Ranchero. Even short trips need to be documented in case of emergency. ALL RENTERS MUST BE REGISTERED It is the responsibility of the homeowners to make sure that any additional occupants in their home are properly registered with the park. If you are planning to rent out your home or have someone stay with you, review your Ranchero Rules and Regulations first. Additional occupants and renters must be registered with the office and a background check performed prior to their arrival. It is the Homeowners responsibility to meet all the requirements. There is an application fee to cover the expense. Applications are available in the Office. They must be accompanied by two legible forms of identification for each person. For international applicants, copies of passports and driver’s licenses are required. These should be submitted at least 30 days in advance of the person’s arrival. Renters are to check in at the office upon arriving in the community. IF YOU ARE A RENTER OR ADDITIONAL OCCUPANT and haven’t done the above, please come to the office immediately and get properly registered. Thank You! ....continued on page 32 GUESTS RANCHERO VILLAGE BULLETIN APRIL, 2012 C 31 35 Certified years in business No complaints unresolved 35 Years in Monthly Media Guests staying more than 48 hours MUST be registered in the Community Office. Guests MUST display Ranchero Village ID tags when at the pools. Residents should be accompanying their guests while at the pool or other location and are responsible for the behavior of their guests. Please review your Rules and Regs and acquaint your guests with the rules also. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult who shall assume full responsibility for their safety and conduct. No running, jumping or diving into the pool. SOLICITORS DO NOT let them into your home! Call the Largo Police Department (587-6730) immediately if you see solicitors and please let the management office know after you have called the police. We have been trying to catch and trespass them. If we can even get a license plate number it would help immensely. Management has been working with the police in an attempt to stop these offenders. Ranchero is a plainly posted No Soliciting Community; no one should be coming to your door. These people are very bold and brazen; please help us stop them and any other solicitors before they take advantage of anyone else in our community. GLASS BOTTLES – It’s time to enjoy the pool and the beautiful Florida sunshine. PLEASE REMEMBER that no glass of any kind is allowed around the pool area. We are getting reports of beer bottles around the pool. If glass is broken, you have the potential of people getting cut. If glass is broken in the pool, it can be quite expensive to clean out. Food and drink are not allowed in the pool/hot tub. People have been seen eating on the side of he pool and having their drinks inside the pool and hot tub. Please do not do this. No smoking at the pools – Please adhere to the new No Smoking Rules at the pools and smoke only away from the pool area in the designated areas. Hot tubs – These are for the use of adults only. No one under 18. HOME SITE ALTERATIONS If you are making any changes or additions to your home site or the exterior of your home please come to the office and submit a completed request form. Paint colors must be approved and a permit obtained from the office. The same applies to alteration requests; this includes plantings. Submit your written request and wait until you have received approval and a permit before proceeding with any work. Also, be sure to obtain any required City permits. DOG WALKING Keep those plastic bags handy when walking your dog. Deposits are being left behind and it’s unsanitary and unpleasant for everyone else. Be a good neighbor and properly dispose of pet waste. RANCHERO WEBSITE Home or away, check out the Ranchero Website at: www.rancherovillage.com.
