Discover, Connect & Enjoy Life at Venture Out!

Welcome to our new owners, and welcome back to our returning residents who arrived in October! Whether reconnecting with favorite activities or discovering something new, Venture Out offers clubs and groups for exercise, arts and crafts, games, music, hobbies, service, and social activities.

Go to the Clubs page on our website and check community listings and schedules for details, and take the opportunity to make new friends and explore new interests.

As November arrives, let’s appreciate the wonderful community we share. Venture Out is more than the homes we live in—it’s the friendships, connections, and everyday acts of kindness that make it special.

Thank you for helping make our community a pleasant place to live. May this season bring new friendships, fun experiences, plenty of smiles, and much to be thankful for!

Weather Awareness: Stay Safe and Be Prepared!

Mother Nature has been keeping us on our toes with some unpredictable weather! Please stay alert for areas prone to flooding, as water can accumulate quickly.

Make sure your vehicle is equipped with essential emergency supplies and that your windshield wipers are in good working condition.

A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping everyone safe!

Laundry Room Courtesy

When you use our on-site laundry rooms, please be considerate of neighbors waiting for a machine.

This time of year, the rooms are busy, and residents often arrive to find every machine full with no one around. Sometimes they wait quite a while before anyone comes to empty them.

If you use the laundry app, it will notify you when your load is done. If you don't use the app, please keep an eye on the time and move your laundry promptly so the next person can get started.

Thank you for helping keep the laundry room running smoothly for everyone!

Questions From Our Community

Hey Vinny!

You’ve got questions, and Vinny is here to help.

Send a Letter to Ol’ Vinny
Question:

Hey Vinny,

I hope we can have more of the activities outside in the nice weather when it's not so cold.

Answer:

Well now, that’s a mighty fine question for our Activity Director! From what I hear, she’s fixin’ to roll out the welcome wagon outdoors, with some toe-tappin’ music and a chance to enjoy your meal in the beautiful great outdoors mentioned above in this newsletter. Sounds like a rootin’-tootin’ good time to me, partner!

Question:

Hey Vinny,

Is it possible to publish the final cost of the west pool construction? We all paid an assessment, and a lot of people in the community are very curious about the total cost.

Answer:

Well, howdy, partner! That's a mighty fair question, and I reckon it's always good to know where our hard-earned dollars went! I did a little diggin', and here's what I rustled up on the West Pool construction costs.

  • Total Special Assessment: $3,609,936.00
  • Total Construction Cost: $3,452,222.00
  • Total Refunded to Owners: $157,713.00
  • Refund Per Unit: $90.17

Now, here's the good news! The project came in under the amount collected, and that meant some of those dollars got to mosey right back into owners' pockets! That's $90.17 per unit refunded.

And as I always say, it's nice when your money comes back home to the ranch!
