The time just keeps galloping along. Being on the Jojoba Hills SKP Resort Board of Directors as the Treasurer has filled a lot of my time. We are meeting twice a month and deadlines for motions and proposals is 5 days before. These deadlines are creating a flurry of emails, many requiring a response until the deadline is past. Some people in the park seek me out to influence how I will respond to proposals. This is to be expected, but each interaction requires time and thoughtful choice of words. This is not a complaint, I am enjoying all of it. 

I just came back from giving a tour of the park. It lasted 4 hours. The “Tour” is an opportunity to present the park to prospective members and to encourage, or in a limited number of cases to discourage, their getting on the waitlist. Encourage can take from 2 1/2 hours to 4 (apparently). The other is 45  minutes, barely enough to drive around the park and point out what there is. A tour by an “official” tour guide is required to even get on the waitlist. 

The community is very warm and friendly. Everyone we pass recognizes me in the tour cart and will stop us to introduce themselves and welcome the visitors. Several people have interesting stories to tell and particularly if the are Founders or just very long time in the park I will encourage them (as if they need any encouragement) to tell a bit of their story of joining the park, or helping to build it. On a warm sunny day with many people moving about, this adds to the tour time. 

I am busy, fulfilled and having a grand time.
