The GVR Member Assistance
Program needs your support!
The GVR Members Assistance
Program (MAP) helps GVR members who are ﬁnancially unable to
pay all or some of their dues. You
can help your friends and neighbors
by adding an extra $15 (or more) to
your annual dues payment.
The MAP program began in
1994 when GVR realized some
members were under ﬁnancial
stress and unable to pay their dues.
It allows members to keep their accounts in good standing and prevents liens and additional fees to
be placed on their properties.
The MAP program gives members the opportunity to get back
on their feet after dealing with a
temporary or long term ﬁ nancial
hardship, and allows them to continue participating at GVR facilities and activities.
Please consider giving $15 (or
more) for a friend! Donations can
be made with your dues payment
or at any open major social center. You also may call 520-6253440 x7208 and make a donation
using your credit or debit card. A
donation in any amount is greatly
appreciated!
Horn of Plenty to Best Serve GVR ‘Haves’ and ‘Have Nots’
On May 13, 2014, GVR’s Planning
& Evaluation (P&E) Committee voted
unanimously to end the “kicking of the
can routine” with regard to an annual
list of GVR club requests that dealt with
distinct space issues and the potential
for poaching of space that comes with
it. These club requests usually involve
construction projects that are costly
and without coordinated planning to
address long-term needs. GVR’s Board
agreed, and on July 22nd, also voted
unanimously to support an architectural, engineering, & space planning
review to assess all GVR centers for
best utilization, and to revise and update center development plans. In the
spirit of the Thanksgiving Holiday, my
favorite holiday, this is something to be
thankful for.
What’s clear is that GVR must remain nimble and smart in meeting
member needs and interests. Though
the diversity of our membership’s interests and means may vary greatly, we
have so much more in common – property ownership, recreation and leisure
pursuits, expectations for success, and
the motivation to continue to build and
nurture a community of well-being.
The unanimous votes described earlier represent a forward thinking perspective and approach to governance
and management of our Corporation.
We all know that forward movement
requires the investment of hundreds
of hours of personal time from many
volunteer leaders. Fortunately, many
dedicated GVR volunteer leaders are
not only willing and enthusiastic about
putting in that
kind of time,
but they are
also dedicated
to engaging in
thoughtful and
comprehensive
Kent J. Blumenthal, discussions rePh.D., CAE, CEO, Green quired to assist
the CorporaValley Recreation
tion in making smart, yet often difﬁcult, choices
about its future.
Discussions that led to stop ‘kicking
the can routine’ reminded me of the title
of one of my favorite movies, ‘To Have
and Have Not’ (the ﬁlm produced one
of the best and perhaps most provocative movie quotes of all time: ’You know
how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You
just put your lips together and blow.’).
At the end of the day, we ﬁnd ourselves
in a community with a signiﬁcant gap
between ‘Haves’ and ‘Have Nots.’ Only
conscientious and persistent effort will
close the gap.
A snapshot from the ‘Have Not’
viewpoint looks like this: 72 GVR club
requests were received for 2015 projects, at an estimated cost of $3 million,
though only a few will be funded in
2015 based on safety, urgency, or common sense criteria. These included
multiple requests from various clubs
for larger or additional space (La Tienda, Lapidary, Pickleball, Table Tennis,
and Tennis). GVR’s annual center assessments and miscellaneous requests
for 2015 identiﬁed an additional 478
capital projects at an estimated cost
of about $2 million just to keep things
safe and in good working order. Due
to funding limitations, only 123 of the
capital projects were approved, leaving 355 projects deferred.
There are many faces to our ‘Have
Nots’. Often displaced from one GVR
facility to another based on space
limitations, the Table Tennis Club has
referred to themselves as the ‘GVR
Homeless Club.’ During peak season,
530+ Pickleball Club members wait in
line to play on just seven GVR courts,
among the lowest number of courts
per player in active adult retirement
communities in the U.S. Another perplexing conundrum needing attention
is how to provide services and beneﬁts
to GVR members in their golden years,
many of whom have ‘aged out’ of current GVR activities and live on limited
ﬁ xed incomes. This is a double-edged
sword for these members: while access to GVR programs and services is
limited, ﬁ nancial obligations remain.
In 2014, more than 450 people applied
for our Member Assistance Program
(MAP) for dues waiver, the largest
number of MAP applicants ever.
Fortunately, the Corporation is conscious of making smart choices about
its future. Opportunities and activities are in place to transfer more ‘Have

Nots’ to the ‘Haves’ column as
GVR moves forward. As you
know, GVR’s Board of Directors adopted a comprehensive
ﬁnancial reserve system that
funds depreciation in the annual budget and offers a ﬁnancial failsafe for our most pressing needs. In addition, an architecture-engineering-space
planning review of GVR’s
facilities is underway through
the Facilities Assessment
Work Group. Work Group
objectives include assessing
all GVR centers for best utilization and revising and updating development plans for all
centers. Organizational steps
to create and launch the GVR
Foundation have been successful and will eventually provide
support through tax-deductible contributions for MAP
and other member programs.
The notion to adopt Green
Valley Council’s (GVC) boundary to GVR (with minor exceptions) is being researched and
discussed by GVR members
serving on the Growth Task
Force. The intent of this proposal is to provide GVR with
long-term ﬁnancial resources
sufﬁcient to meet current
and future member needs,
and leverage GVC’s community outreach and political
advocacy. After seeking input
from GVR members through
public forums, a proposal
will be conveyed to the Board
of Directors. Next January, a
GVR member ballot referendum will help determine the
boundary of the Corporation.
Regardless of where they stand
on the issue, Haves and Have
Nots should vote to make sure
their voices are heard.
Hopefully, one may conclude that GVR members, volunteer leaders, and staff have a
compelling future before them
with an abundance of opportunities to best serve GVR Haves
and Have Nots. We can be
sure that change will be upon
us whether we choose to stand
still or move forward. Embracing growing pains as opportunities for creative problem
solving will enable us to work
together to ﬁnd solutions and
make smart choices to ensure
a vibrant community and compelling future for GVR. Perhaps the member referendum
will provide fodder for a sequel
to ‘To Have and Have Not’,
only this time in Green Valley,
not Martinique.

Volunteer Staff Coordinators Meeting,
Nov. 12, East Center Auditorium
Looking for Health and Happiness?
Become a GVR Pool or Fitness Center Volunteer
A number of recent surveys of those who volunteer reveal
that volunteering has made them feel physically healthier.
According to a United Healthcare survey, 41 percent of
Americans volunteered in the past year. Of the volunteers, 84
percent agreed that volunteering improves physical health,
and 95 percent agreed that volunteering also improves emotional health. Additionally, 96 percent of volunteers agreed
that volunteering makes people happier. Twenty-nine percent
of volunteers who suffer from a chronic condition say that volunteering has helped them manage a chronic illness.
Who knew volunteering could actually make a person
healthier?
At Green Valley Recreation, we realize that providing volunteer opportunities for our members is as good for them as
providing ﬁtness centers, swimming pools, clubs, concerts
and classes! We make it even easier for members to reap the
beneﬁts of volunteering with our volunteer ﬂex program.
Volunteers may swim or work-out while on duty. They may
choose to commit to a speciﬁc day, time and place, or to opt
for a more ﬂexible option of volunteering while they are doing
their work-out.
We have all kinds of fun activities for our volunteers, so join us!
To get started, we have a short volunteer training class on Wednesday, November 5, at 1 pm in the West Social Center Room 2. Free
refreshments will be served! Hope to see you there!
If you are interested, please sign up at any open social center or contact Maureen McCarthy, 625-3440 x7224 or at maureen@gvrec.org . Reference CR #28791.

TRIPS AND TOURS
11/12 Wednesday: Phoenix Musical Instrument
Museum Tour — We have had many requests to visit the
Musical Instrument Museum and we are happy to present this trip that offers three hours to discover this marvelous spot which covers 200,000 square feet and truly
celebrates the universal language of music by exhibiting instruments from every country in the world. The
MIM celebrates the contributions each and every country has made to musical heritage. On exhibit are approximately 5,000 instruments and with the use of the
most technologically advanced wireless headsets and
high-resolution video screens, you will be able to see
instruments, hear their sounds and observe them being
played in their original settings. We will enjoy a no-host
lunch in their restaurant and have free time to explore
the galleries. En route back to Green Valley we have a
stop planned at the Melting Pot for a chocolate fondue
treat! What a perfect way to end our day. Join us for this
great tour! Fee for GVR members is $103 and bring a

11/19 Wednesday: Canyon Lake Boat Tour on the
Apache Trail — Today we will board our deluxe motorcoach and travel to Canyon Lake, which is located
north of Apache Junction. We’ll make a rest stop in
Florence. For lunch we travel to the Mining Camp
Restaurant. This eatery is full of western atmosphere
and the platters of food served to our group will make
your eyes pop. We then travel along the paved portion
of the Apache Trail. Tucked into the base of the Superstition Mountains is a beautiful man-made lake called
Canyon Lake. We board Dolly’s Steamboat and cruise
Canyon Lake as the captain narrates on the scenery,
geology and history of the area. Steep canyon walls ascend out of a crystal blue body of water. This makes

at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch which is tucked into
the foothills of the Rincon Mountains. We promise
you won’t go away hungry! Then we take our seats at
the Gaslight Theatre to enjoy the matinee, ‘The Secret
Santa’. The holiday show at the Gaslight is always wonderful. This small but well run theater does some very
funny and creative work. The melodrama style story
line ﬁ nds us booing for the bad guy and clapping for
the hero/heroine. We hope you join us as we take in
these two special Tucson attractions along with a delicious lunch. Fee includes transportation, services of a

Grace Kelly
Thursday, November 6, 2014, West Center, 7pm
When it comes to singer/saxophonist/composer/lyricist/
arranger/producer/educator Grace Kelly, people marvel at
the proﬁciency, creativity and ever-accelerating growth of the
22-year-old virtuoso. Kelly is an ambitious young artist who
graduated from Boston’s Berklee College of Music in 2011 at
the age of 19. Since the age twelve, Grace has performed over
600 concerts as a leader all around the world at prominent
venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, Montreal Jazz Festival,
Newport Jazz Festival, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the
Kennedy Center and the Apollo Theater. She has also released
eight full-length albums and performed with well-known artists such as Phil Woods, Dave Brubeck and Keith Lockhart.
Grace has also performed with Wynton Marsalis who praised
her talents. “Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling. She has a great amount of natural ability and the ability to
adapt that is the hallmark of a ﬁ rst-class jazz musician.” Kelly’s
latest release, Live at Scullers, offers a set mostly composed
of new material which shows off her remarkable versatility.
Her sax chops have been granted the imprimatur of jazz elders
like Phil Woods and Lee Konitz. But here, Kelly’s instrumental
virtuosity shares the spotlight with her winsome voice via her
most song-oriented collection to date. CR#31525. Members
$20, Guests $23 General Public $26.
Christopher O’Riley is recognized as one of the leading
American pianists of his generation, touring extensively as

From the Top, Mr. O’Riley is
well-known for his eloquent
and compelling musings on
music and popular culture.
His latest performances

His latest release, Out Of My
Hands, includes music of R.E.M., Portishead, Cocteau Twins,
Pink Floyd, Nirvana, The Bad Plus, The Smiths, Tears for
Fears as well as material from Radiohead and Elliott Smith.

Winner Of La Tienda Drawing
Esther Boston was the lucky winner of a beautiful decorated
gourd. Each month La Tienda Shop donates a drawing prize
crafted by one of its artisans. This month’s prize was designed
and crafted by Nancy Estes. Because Esther has lived in her
new house only four months and is still decorating, she was
especially pleased to win the attractive gourd and immediately
knew that she would put it on her new sofa table to show it
off to the best advantage. Esther and her husband moved from
San Jose, California to Green Valley, primarily to take advantage of the warm sunny weather. Esther has joined a book club
and hopes to take Italian and exercise classes in the near fu-
ture. She ﬁ nds Green Valley a delightful place to live and looks
forward to having her three children and three grandchildren
come to visit and see her new home.
La Tienda Shop is located at GVR’s West Center. All items
are hand-crafted and reasonably priced. Shoppers will ﬁ nd
a large selection of jewelry, photography, decorated gourds,
woven and hand-sewn pieces, children’s items, home decor,
ceramics, wooden bowls, and glass. The shop is open 9am to
4pm Monday through Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturday.
Be sure to sign up for the monthly drawing prize when you
shop.

Green Valley Volleyball Club
Aerobic exercise, friendly competition, and camaraderie all
come together at the Volleyball Club of Green Valley. With three
venues to choose from and games six days of the week, volleyball players of Green Valley are never bored. Regular outdoor
volleyball is played on a sand court three mornings a week at 8
am. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings it is at the East Center
court. On Saturday mornings it is at Abrego South.
Wallyball (so named because the ball can be bounced off
the walls) is played in the Las Campanas racquetball court.
These games happen every weekday from 2 to 4pm and from
1 to 3pm on Saturdays. To participate court shoes are required
(sneakers that are worn only indoors, so sand or dirt doesn’t
scratch the ﬂoors).
Water volleyball is perhaps the most jovial of the three. A
net is strung across and teams try hard to keep the ball from
getting wet. Splashing around in the pool is a great way to stay
cool as the temperature heats up outdoors. Any GVR member
is welcome to try out one, or all three of the fun variations on
the game of volleyball.

Pickleball Club
Pickleball has been called the fastest-growing sport in North
American. It is a combination of badminton, ping-pong, and tennis. The court is about one-third the size of a tennis court. It has
grown tremendously recently due to the number of baby boomers who were once active and now can’t quite cover a tennis court.
It has grown because once you try it, you’re addicted. It is a game
you can actually play and enjoy from the very ﬁrst day.
GVR pickleball courts are located at the East and Canoa Ranch
Centers. Want to learn? Join Intro to Pickleball this fall at East Center from 4 PM until dusk on Tuesday and Thursday. And/or, Beginners - Pickleball 101 - this Course consisting of three (3) lessons

$15 per person. Limited to 36 students. Pickleball paddles supplied. Check the GVR website or course catalog. Please register
