Cheers to a Bright New Year! from Your Outgoing RRVE HOA Board



As the calendar turns to a new year, your outgoing RRVE HOA Board would like to take a moment to reflect and share our hopes for the community’s future. This transition marks not just a change in leadership but a celebration of the progress we have made together and the opportunities ahead. We are grateful for the trust you placed in us, and we are excited to see how the next board will continue to build on this foundation.



A Year of Service & Community

Serving on the RRVE HOA Board has truly been a rewarding experience, made possible by the engagement and support of our community.


Caring for Our Common Areas

  • Maintaining our shared spaces remained a top priority. Throughout the year, we coordinated regular park upkeep, seasonal cleanups, and multiple slash pick-ups to help keep our valley clean, safe, and Firewise.


Improving Communication

  • As our website, ranchoruidoso.com, continues to grow in visibility and use, residents are staying better informed about meetings, events, and important community notices. Clear consistent communication helps keep everyone connected and engaged.


Supporting Community Events

  • This year, the Board organized a few events, the annual community-wide yard sale and the holiday decorations contest. These activities fostered connection, neighborly spirit, and a strong sense of belonging.


In addition,

  • Our quarterly membership meetings — along with th drawing exclusive to subscribers of ranchoruidoso.com — were enthusiastically received. These initiatives are designed as a way to give back to our dedicated and involved membership.


The RRVE Board is always open to ideas and suggestions for future gatherings and opportunities to bring neighbors together. Every effort this year was strengthened by your participation and feedback—thank you for being an essential part of our community.



What We Learned Along the Way

Being part of the HOA board taught us valuable lessons about community leadership and collaboration:


Transparency Builds Trust

  • Keeping residents informed about decisions and finances helped create a transparent environment. When people understand how and why choices are made, they feel more confident in the board’s work.


Financially Responsible

  • This board drastically reduced the amount of outstanding dues, along with updating property owners’ records and creating a database to ensure that in the case of an emergency, everyone can be notified.


Small Actions Make a Big Difference

  • Simple improvements like painting the pavilion at Sunrise Park and adding mailboxes and package lockers shows attention to bettering the neighborhood for everyone.



Looking Ahead: Hopes for the New Board

As we step down, we are confident the new RRVE HOA Board will continue to serve the community with dedication. Here are the areas of interest we hope stand the test of time.


Strengthening Community Bonds

  • Continuing to organize events and volunteer opportunities to keep neighbors connected and foster a welcoming atmosphere.


Financial Stewardship

  • Maintaining a balanced budget while planning for future improvements ensures the community remains financially healthy.


We encourage all residents to stay involved by attending meetings, volunteering, and sharing ideas. A strong community depends on active participation.



You Can Help Shape the Future

Your voice matters. Here are some ways to contribute to the ongoing success of RRVE:


Attend HOA Meetings

  • Meetings are open to all residents. Meetings provide a platform to learn about upcoming projects and a place where you can voice your opinions.


Join Committees or Volunteer

  • Committees help to create a vested opportunity to give back. Our welcome committee was very active in welcoming new neighbors and helping to host the membership meetings. The board is very grateful for their efforts.

    Moving forward we wish the newly formed Chicken Committee success.


Provide Feedback

  • Providing feedback to the HOA Board ensures your voice is heard and helps guide decisions that strengthen our community and reflect the needs of our neighbors.


Respect Community Guidelines

  • Following HOA rules helps maintain property values and ensures a pleasant living environment for everyone.


By working together, we can keep RRVE a place we are proud to call home and a place to welcome new neighbors.



Final Thoughts from Your Outgoing Board

We are proud of what we accomplished and optimistic about the future. The strength of RRVE lies in you the residents—your commitment, kindness, and cooperation make this community special.


As we say goodbye, we want to thank each of you for your support. We look forward to seeing the new board lead with energy and fresh ideas. Let’s welcome them and the new year with hope and enthusiasm, ready to build an even better neighborhood.
