This season has been a little different (to say the least), BUT, we hope you had an AMAZING time here with us and we cant wait for the party to continue next season! Stay safe & healthy and we will see you soon! Checklist of Things to Do When you Leave 1. Please check out with Guest Service and let them know when you are leaving. 2. Get a caretaker and let Guest Service know who that will be. Leave them some weed killer. 3. One week before leaving the Village, notify your Post Office back home to stop forwarding your mail to Val Vista. 4. Turn your water off. We recommend you turn your electricity off. 5. Please pick fruit from your tree before it starts blooming. This will also help eliminate rotten fruit from falling later and attracting insects and critters. 6. If you receive the Arizona Republic newspaper, you will need to call and cancel delivery before you leave. Your paper will not automatically end once your subscription ends, and you will continue to get billed. Call them at 602-444-1000 Have a great summer! See you in the fall! 10
