Welcome New Neighbors

Cindy and Paul Berry, from snowy Pennsylvania, are now at home in Unit 1. They enjoy the sunsets, mountains, and amenities available at SBR. He is an avid reader.

Jimmie Bates and Warren Beaver, formerly of southern California, now reside in Unit 17. They enjoy hiking, playing pickleball, Mah Jongg, and visiting with their long-time friends who live in Unit 16. They look forward to some travel.

Jeff and Erin Pricco are now enjoying sunsets from their backyard in Unit 6. He is recently retired and is looking forward to playing bocce. As a grandmother of five, Erin is interested in crafts and bocce. Several of their former co-workers also live in SBR.

David and MariAnne Stalnaker left California for their new home in Unit 17. Besides the weather at SBR, they enjoy the lapidary classes and being close to a sister who lives in the community.

Paul Picchiottino and Hillie Triebess, most recently from Sedona, are now in Unit 9B. Hillie is happy to share stories of the inn she owned and operated in northern California. Besides moving here for the lifestyle and amenities, they happen to be near their daughter who also lives in SBR.

Ele Gibling is a snowbird from Canada. She moved here for warm winter weather, friendly people, and to be near her sister, who also lives in SBR. Her career took her to the United Arab Emirates where she lived for years. She loves to travel, but now has a home in Unit 21A.

Please extend a warm welcome and a wave to the newcomers who were on the November HOA closing list. We are so glad they have joined our beautiful SaddleBrooke Ranch.

A great program has been developed to introduce newcomers to SaddleBrooke Ranch, and for the community to get to know the newcomers. All residents, including renters, are encouraged to participate in the monthly newcomer gatherings. The January Newcomers Welcome will be in-person for the first time in almost two years. If you are a new resident in the last year, you are welcome to come to our presentation held in the Sol I ballroom located in the Ranch House on Wednesday, Jan. 26, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Each unit has a Newcomer Welcome Volunteer who contacts newcomers in the unit and provides a packet of information, which is designed to help people get settled into SaddleBrooke Ranch. In addition, each new homeowner is invited to have their pictures taken, which is included in the monthly community newspaper, the SaddleBrooke Ranch Roundup. This is a great way to be introduced to the community.

Each new homeowner, including prior renters, are asked to stop by the HOA Front Desk located in the Ranch House, near the ballroom entrance, for important information provided by the HOA that helps with access to such activities as the fitness center facilities, classes, SBR website login, and much more.

The Front Desk is also the location for purchasing accessories that have your membership numbers embedded. There are waterproof wristbands, key fobs, key tags, membership cards, and stickers that can be peeled and placed on the back of phones or other items. The membership ID is required at the indoor pool, fitness center, and to charge at the Bistro and Ranch House.

If you haven’t yet been contacted by a Newcomer Welcome Volunteer, want information on the monthly gathering, or want to have your photo taken, send an email to [email protected] or [email protected].
