MANAGERS CORNER
The summer has passed, Halloween is passed and the rainy winter is close at hand. The pool was closed on the 31st of October. The hot tub is open and heated throughout the year. Regarding the spa usage: A maximum of six (6) persons are allowed in the spa at one time. You must wear approved manufactured swim wear. No undergarments are allowed. Shower before entering the pool or the hot tub. Remember, the use of Spanish Ranch property is strictly for the use of Spanish Ranch residents. This would also pertain to passage through the park via the rear gate. The management is spending a great deal of money on a quarterly basis due to misuse of the rear gate. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THE GATE ACCESS CODE TO ANYONE THAT IS NOT A RESIDENT!! People who do not live here are not likely to treat your property like you. I personally have witnessed people showing the code to individuals that are not residents. Violators of the 15 mile per hour speed limit still abound within Spanish Ranch. All those that are speeding are not only guestsplease pay attention to your speed. This is a close community and we live close to each other. Please show respect to your neighbors by NOT sounding your horn at inopportune times (late at night or early in the morning). Please turn your radio down when entering your community. Everyone may not appreciate the sound of your new 150 Watt double bass speakers as much as you do. Calendar Note: The annual Spanish Ranch #1 Holiday brunch is scheduled for Sunday December 11, 2011. Mark your calendars for another great time this year! Energy Tip: Now that the heating season is almost upon us, it is time to change your heater filters and purchase enough to last through the heating season (three or four should be sufficient) if one changes the filters every thirty to fortyfive days. Guillermos Corner Resident parking in Visitor parking areas still is a problem. The reason Guillermo mentions this is that a few weekends ago there was a function at the club house and there was no parking available for those who had reserved the clubhouse for their activity. Residents that regularly use visitor parking to park their extra cars are not only in violation of the Rule(s) and Regulation(s) of Spanish Ranch #1 MHP but are being very inconsiderate to their neighbors. Guillermo says Thanks for all the help in the car wash areas. The trash situation at the car wash areas appears to be improving and is almost back to normal. Guillermo would also like to remind everyone to continue to sweep and pick up the leaves in front of your home at least once a week. The gutter area in front of your home is your responsibility. Please be considerate and pick up the leaves and not simply sweep them down in front of your neighbors home. Be sure to clean up the gutter ramps at your driveway. Your help will insure that our storm drains are working properly and that large lakes do not form at the storm drain inlets. Guillermo also says Thanks for all of you that are monitoring the street lights and reporting them to the office. Keep up the good work as he continues to make Spanish Ranch a safe place to walk after dark or on those dreary and dark days. We would like to wish all the residents of Spanish Ranch #1 MHP a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. We do have so much to be thankful and that in comparison of the rest of the world, we here at Spanish Ranch are the top Ten percent of the worlds richest people. Jeff Stoops, Asst manager

The Pirate
A sailor meets a pirate in a bar, and they take turns recounting their adventures at sea. Noting the pirates peg-leg, hook, and eye patch, the sailor asks, So, how did you end up with the peg-leg? The pirate replies We was caught in a monster storm off the cape and a giant wave swept me overboard. Just as they were pullin me out, a school of sharks appeared and one of em bit me leg off. Blimey! said the sailor. What about the hook? Ahhhh..., mused the pirate, We were boardin a trader ship, pistols blastin and swords swingin this way and that. In the fracas me hand got chopped off. Zounds! remarked the sailor. And how came ye by the eye patch? A seagull droppin fell into me eye, answered the pirate. You lost your eye to a seagull dropping? the sailor asked incredulously. Well... said the pirate,it was me first day with the hook.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

An optimist sees the best in the world, while a pessimist sees only the worst. An optimist finds the positive in the negative, and a pessimist can only find the negative in the positive. For example, an avid duck hunter was in the market for a new bird dog. His search ended when he found a dog that could actually walk on water to retrieve a duck. Shocked by his find, he was sure none of his friends would ever believe him. He decided to try to break the news to a friend of his, a pessimist by nature, and invited him to hunt with him and his new dog. As they waited by the shore, a flock of ducks flew by. They fired, and a duck fell. The dog responded and jumped into the water. The dog, however, did not sink but instead walked across the water to retrieve the bird, never getting more than his paws wet. This continued all day long; each time a duck fell, the dog walked across the surface of the water to retrieve it. The pessimist watched carefully, saw everything, but did not say a single word. On the drive home the hunter asked his friend, Did you notice anything unusual about my new dog? I sure did, responded the pessimist. He cant swim.

Perfection
submitted by Jeff
The preacher said, Theres no such thing as a perfect woman. Anybody present who has ever known a perfect woman, stand up. Nobody stood up. Those who have ever known a perfect man, stand up. One elderly gentleman stood up. Are you honestly saying you knew an absolutely perfect man? he asked, somewhat amazed. Well now, I didnt know him personally, replied the little old man, but I have heard a great deal about him. He was my wifes first husband.

New Business
Regional Manager Greg OHagan has asked to speak with the board about plans Rutherford has for the park but so far he hasnt been free on board meeting nights. Several dates were agreed upon to offer him for a meeting independent of the regular meeting. Barbara Sacks brought an appeal from the South Hayward Parish Executive Director Betty DeForest describing the serious funding cuts the organization has suffered. The current charity drive of toiletries for the homeless and supplies for women and children in shelters is being donated to the South Hayward Parish which targets our specific area as part of HaywardCAN. Ms. DeForest will be invited to speak to the board at a future meeting to help us understand how this organization provides service to our park and community, and how we can help. Barbara also put forward an idea for a future event that we could offer to the community. Dejunking with Donna, a program outlining ways to help you get rid of clutter and junk, has been presented in other communities to positive review. Nobody present could claim to have no unused, unwanted, unnecessary stuff, i.e., junk, and it was thought this might appeal to the community at large. We will try to arrange this program for January 10 or February 7, 2012, depending on the availability of the presenter.

Charity Drives: The collection of toiletries and personal supplies for HaywardCAN has been going well, and will end at the end of the month. Donated items will be turned over to the South Hayward Parish, a collection of churches in the South Hayward area that serves as a distribution arm of the City of Haywards Community Action Network (CAN). A director of South Hayward Parish will be invited to talk with us at a future board meeting to further explain their focus and aims.
