Managers’ Message Wow! What just happened over the last 12 months and can you believe it is 2021? Happy New Year to one and all! Hopefully, this new year brings with it an anticipation of renewed excitement of greater things than whence we have come. We so look forward to the possibilities that this year could bring such as vaccines, herd immunity, no more political ads that consume the enjoyment of our TV leisure, endless supplies of toilet paper, and beans on the shelf. It almost sounds like a Christmas list for Santa! Our hope is your Holiday Season was wonderful besides the restrictions for travel and or family gatherings. As we watch the years go by Marilyn and I are reminded the greatest gift we have to offer my friends and family is our time. Gifts seem to come and go but time together is etched into our memories as a precious treasure. We know that all of you are counting your blessings and are grateful to live in such a beautiful community and with the awesome neighbors we have here at Montesa. From the quiet setting to the view and all the colors that go along with it, Montesa is truly a gem in the desert. There is a reason home sales are strong and new homes are filling vacant lots. As before we are working hard to provide the activities that we all enjoy with extra safety measures. As we continue to take precautions, please continue wearing your face masks, wash hands regularly and we will get beyond this pandemic and on to better days. Thinking positive, Doug & Marilyn Holly DISCLAIMER: The Montesa Newsletter is published by the Activities Office at Montesa at Gold Canyon.
