WELCOME BACK SNOWBIRDS

FROM THE RIVIERA GOLF ESTATES

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

NOTES TO THE RESIDENTS

Thanks to the folks who have submitted their resumes for the Annual Election. We currently have 1 – Two Year Opening and 3 – Three Year Openings available, to be filled. Seven people have submitted resumes. We appreciate their willingness to ensure that Riviera remains a wonderful community in which to live. Make sure to be at the Clubhouse on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012, at 7:00 PM, to Meet the Candidates. This is a good chance for residents to get to know the current Board of Directors and those running for election or re-election.

Our Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012, at 7:00 PM, at our Clubhouse. Our management company (Compass Management Group) will mail each resident member a ballot and all necessary information pertaining to the Annual Meeting.

Winter is here and folks are bustling around and sprucing up their homes. Please take a look at your driveways and sidewalks and if need be, have them power washed and or cleaned up. We all want to keep our Community looking good.

We would like to thank Pat Spanitz for our monthly newsletter. Pat spends countless hours preparing our newsletter each month for all of us to see what is being offered, so that you may participate in the many events happening at Riviera Golf Estates.

If you are using the Annex you may notice an odor in the card room. Apparently, a cat got into the closet off the kitchen area and “sprayed.” We are trying to eliminate the odor. If you are using the Annex, please make sure the door is closed at all times.

Pam Mullins, for the Board of Directors

RIVIERA TELEPHONE DIRECTORY

It is that time of the year, again, to update our Riviera Telephone Directory. If any changes have been made to your name, address, or telephone number, since our last printing, please stop by the Clubhouse, review the existing information and make any necessary changes. A copy of the directory will be located outside of the office, on or about February 1st. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

TO ALL RIVIERA RESIDENTS

After the installation of BACK FLOW PREVENTERS many residents have had problems with their water delivery such as: Houses flooded; the device leaking, some requiring several repair attempts; damage to adjacent sprinkler system piping; missing thousands of gallons of water and finally the relief valve on the hot water heater discharging excess pressure into the drip pan.

I suggest this is definitely causing a hardship to many in this community and ask that you notify me (775-7381,) if you have had similar problems at the time your BACK FLOW PREVENTER was installed, so that a community wide complaint can be filed with Collier County.

Bill Cannon, for the Board of Directors

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD (ARB)

PLEASE NOTE: All ARB application requests to be reviewed at the February Board meeting should be submitted no later than Wednesday morning, February 22, 2012.

If, after reading the ARB requirements listed on the back of the ARB application, you are in doubt about whether or not you need to submit an ARB request, you are urged to submit one. If not necessary, you will be notified promptly.

The Collier County Public Utilities Division has installed Cross-Connection Control Devices throughout our community. The device may be painted, but green or black paint is usual. By law, you may NOT paint it purple or red. The device may NOT be covered in any way. It is important for you to note the requirements for landscaping around the device. Basically, plants no closer than 18” without thorns or sharp leaves are the only permissible means to camouflage the pipes and a 36” opening on one side is required. In addition, according to Riviera Golf Estates Regulations, no fence of any type or height may be used around these devices.

OPERATION REASSURANCE

ATTENTION ALL RIVIERA RESIDENTS

Our Riviera Golf Estates Community has a daily safety check service in place for you, called “Operation Reassurance.” Every morning before 9:00 AM, call 775-9976 and leave a simple message on our answering machine, indicating who you are and that you are OK. If you fail to call in, a volunteer will call you. If they cannot reach you, they will try to locate you through your neighbors or friends. If we still do not find you, we will ask a family member or the police to go to your home and gain access, so that we can check on your welfare. Of course, if you will be away for even one day, please notify us so that we will not be looking for you. Operation Reassurance is in effect 365 days a year. Our volunteers are dedicated and work hard to keep you safe. This service could SAVE YOUR LIFE and it is FREE!!

If you want to join our program, please come to the office and sign up or call Susan Larson at 775-2625, for more information.

ANN'S COMMENTS

Our Winter Season is well underway. Calhua and Cream rocked the Clubhouse for our January Dance, the dance floor was crowded all night, and many stayed on after the music was done. Great time! This month should be just as much fun, so come join us.

NOTE – We will have white linen tablecloths for our round tables for the first time in the month of February. These tablecloths have been in storage because they were too long. Thanks to a group of volunteers, they have now been shortened. If we are all careful to keep them protected from spills, we’ll be able to use these under our colored tablecloths from month to month.

Also, I have been organizing the decorations that we have in our storage rooms, according to month. Within the next few months, I should be finished. It is necessary for our Monthly Committees to always check what we have in storage, before buying new decorations.

TICKET SALES - This month we have a very busy Social Calendar and ticket demand will be high, so we are trying something new. Ticket sales for February functions will begin, promptly, at 9:00 AM. If you come early, grab a cup of coffee, chat with your neighbors and don’t forget the $1.00 donation for the coffee and donuts.

SOCIAL CALENDAR - I’m responsible for maintaining the Social Calendar in the office. Please, if you have a function you wish to schedule, check with me for availability. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you have any suggestions, comments or concerns, you may contact me

Ann Wallace, Social Director at 732-7808 or wallaceann0811@comcast.net

FEBRUARY COFFEE HOUR

The February Coffee Hour will be held on Saturday, February 4th, from 9:00 until 10:00 AM, at the Clubhouse. Please come and enjoy coffee, doughnuts and visiting with old friends and meet new people.

If you wish to sit with a special group, at any of our functions, please come to the Coffee Hour prepared, by bringing all of their names and checks for each of those planning on attending, so you can sign up at the Coffee Hour.

GAY 90'S PARTY

Well, the answer is the “Gay 90’s Party” is for all Riviera Residents who have reached that GREAT age of 90, (or a little bit short of it, like 89 ½ or ¾, etc.!!” You can either, sign up on the Bulletin Board in the Clubhouse, call Sheila at the Office, 775-3573, or call Kay Randazzo at 775-7187.

Food and drinks will be provided and some light entertainment.

RIVIERA CARE WEAR

Thank you to all who stopped by our Annual Display and Sale at the November Coffee Hour. Your support of our efforts is appreciated. The proceeds of the sale will be used to offset the cost of materials to produce the items donated to local assisted living facilities, shelters and the Women’s Center at Physicians Regional Hospital.

Three neighbors have shown an interest in joining us and received patterns for hats, booties and the teddy bear. I hope they will enjoy the time they spend knitting and crocheting for a good cause. Two dozen baby hats, booties and Santa toys will be dropped off this month and lap robes will be distributed at local assisted living facilities.

We need more volunteers to make knitted or crocheted baby hats, booties and toys to meet our need. If you need yarn, needles, hooks, patterns or just a refresher course on knitting or crocheting give me a call 213-1690. Completed items can be dropped off at my home 770 Charlemagne Blvd.

Irene Paliulis, 213-1690

RIVIERA COMPUTER CLUB

Our next Business Meeting will be held on Monday, February 13th, followed by Impromptu Help Sessions. Our formal lesson will be held on Monday, February 27th. Our own Rick Ciarcia will be leading the lesson on the 27th. Rick asks that you submit any questions, problems, or special requests to either him or Patti Boesche by Monday, February 20th. Christine Gansel will be leading the Photo SIG on Monday, February 20th. All meetings begin at 3:00 PM, unless otherwise stated. If you are not yet a member, we encourage you to join. It is only $15.00 for an individual or $20.00 for a household.

We are always looking for knowledgeable people who would like to share their computer expertise with their fellow RGE residents at a general meeting, in a smaller SIG (special interest group) or on an individual basis. If you are willing to help another resident, please let me know what you feel comfortable with teaching. You are NOT committing yourself to leading a group on a regular basis. Maybe you think someone may be interested in learning more about a certain topic and you know you would be available to teach for an hour or two just one time. Let me know what topic you can help teach and when you are available and I will get the information out to others. Many of us don’t realize exactly what help we need, therefore, we don’t know what we are missing or what to ask for.

Therefore, if you are tech savvy, we would appreciate your willingness to help others. Don Spanitz and Rick Ciarcia have volunteered to help with any problems you may have. Dwight Kehoe is also available and willing.

REGARDING ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAMS

Rick Ciarcia’s research has found:
AVG Anti-Virus Free 2012 is PC Magazine’s new Editor’s Choice for free anti-virus’
If you have Comcast for your internet ----Norton Security Suite is FREE
.
Also, remember to make a daily check for virus’ using your anti-virus program

If you have not been receiving mail from me regarding the Computer Club, it is because your email address needs to be updated. Please let me know of any changes that need to be made. Thanks

Thomas Montgomery, who gave a presentation last year on his command of the US/UN mission in Somalia. The General has agreed to return since many members expressed a desire to hear more opinions and have more time for questions.

The Men’s Club encourages all male residents of Riviera Golf Estates to become members for the “one-time fee” of $10.00, which grants you a Lifetime Membership. For a nominal monthly fee of $5.00, you are entitled to attend the meeting, an interesting program, enjoy a light lunch, keg beer, non-alcoholic beer, soft drinks, nibbles and fine socializing with friends in the neighborhood. Doors open at 11:30 AM. Please sign up at the February Coffee Hour, as we need time to prepare nametags and take a head count so we can order enough food.
