Managers’ Message Happy Valentines Day Montesa Residents! We certainly are enjoying lovely weather compared to those farther north and are truly blessed to live here at Montesa where there are still amenities to enjoy, even while wearing a mask. Thankfully we have Housekeepers and Workampers who work to keep our common areas as clean as possible. A big shout out to Sherri and our Activities Department for keeping the fun going in a safe way! They are remarkable and we appreciate each one of them. Have you ever heard of Valentine’s Day referred to as, “Single’s Awareness Day?” We like to think of it as a day to love on and show our appreciation to all those we hold dear, whether single or not. Those who continue to make Montesa Cares viable and helpful to each of our residents deserve a shout out as well. Thank you to Joan and each of our Block Captains who continue to show love and compassion in action to our residents. February may be the dead of winter for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. However, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. No matter the month, there are always things and people to celebrate. Therefore, celebrate the positive in our lives and remember to tell those you hold dear that they are loved and make such a difference in your life. By doing this, the last days of winter will hurry on by and spring will be here before we know it. Thinking positive, Marilyn and Doug Holly General Managers DIS- 3

Sherri Activities Director Montesa Family, It’s February!! The month of Love, or so they say. I think every month should be a month of love and friendship. As Pooh says “A day without a FRIEND is like a pot with- out a single drop of honey left inside.” This season has been an interesting one. However, I am so grateful that I have not had to go a day with some honey in my pot. I appreciate the friendship and support of you, my Montesa family! Here in Activities we continue to work hard to put events together so that we can have fun with our friends. (Social Distancing of course). We begin with our Manager Event on Feb 2nd. “Arabian Nights” with Big Zephyr. Feb 4th let’s celebrate National Soup Day, Feb 7th a Super Bowl Party with TV’s on the Patio. Come cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Feb 9th we will celebrate “Don’t cry over spilled milk Day” We don’t cry over spilled milk we add cookies. A cookie and milk drive by. Celebrate Valentines with a Prime Rib dinner and a Paul Simone Tribute on Feb 12th. Look through the newsletter for other fun happenings around Montesa. Again, Thank you for being my friend. I cherish all the days I get to spend here at Montesa. Reach out to your friends if you haven’t for awhile. We don’t want anyone to have an empty honey pot. Sherri My name is Judy Kauffman and I am the new Sales Manager at Montesa. I am really delighted to have the opportunity to be here in this beautiful setting. I am originally from Colorado, spent several years in Texas and California. My husband and I moved to Arizona in 2016 where I took a job of Sales Manager for a developing community in Cottonwood. I have several years of experience in this industry as a Sales Agent, Sales Manager, Community Manager, and Construction Manager. We are currently very active in the Sales Office and have 7 closings scheduled for the month of January (3 new homes and 4 pre-owned). There are several new homes scheduled to come in this year so you will see lots of activity around. We thank you for your patience and understanding. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please send me an email or come by the Sales Office for an outdoor meeting. I will be attending the Monday morning coffee each week and we can meet there as well. I am so happy to be part of Montesa at Gold Canyon, where you Retire in Style. Stay safe and healthy.
