NEWSLETTER December 2020 VALLE DEL ORO Christmas is such a gift as it reminds RV RESORT us to celebrate our family, friends, faith and living at Valle del Oro. How 1452 S. Ellsworth Rd wonderful it is to have friends and Mesa AZ 85209 neighbors who quickly become our family and are there for us 480-984-1146 when we need them. How fun it is to reminisce as we enjoy the www.cal-am.com decorations that adorn our streets. For me they bring back the memories of the excitement I felt as a child and the sleepless What’s Inside: Christmas Eves when our children were small. Christmas is a time of giving and caring for others. We thank you for reaching out to From Manager and AD Page 2-3 those who, without you, would spend this special time alone. We Resort News Page 4-11 know you do that because that is just who you are and we are Activities Calendar Page 5 grateful for you.
