Message from the President

Kevin Nestrick

We have been working really hard this winter to get

information out to our community about Chaparral. Our

snowbird season is coming to an end and we wish all safe

travels and look forward to seeing you in the fall.

However, the bills and expenses keep going. Without

positive change we may not be here to greet you on your

return.

We desperately need to keep building on our positive

appearance in the community. Membership is still not

growing. We do expect lots of summer pool and golf

memberships.

What we need is the local neighborhood to start

supporting Chaparral as a member and to patronize our

course and club house. Less than 30% of the land

owners around Chaparral are members. Very few

residents of Palo Verde or Playa Del Rio patronize our

club restaurant and very very few are members of

Chaparral.

Yet we add tremendous value to area property because of

our golf course. I need everyone talking and speaking to

our neighbors. We need their support financially.

We are hosting a Neighborhood Block Party on Sunday

April 29. We will be billing every member $5 to help

cover some of the expense for this event. The block

party is free to our neighbors and we hope we can

introduce the value of CCC membership to those that live

here and those that have increase property value due to

our club’s golf course.

This will not be successful unless 100% of all members

get out and greet our guests. The $5 fee will show on

your monthly bill, but more importantly we need you to

attend the event and offer a cordial invitation to join our

club.

It’s now up to you. We are Chaparral.

Kevin Nestrick, President.
