Celebrating 18 Years at VO
We are happy to announce that our Maintenance Director, David Frick, is celebrating his 18th year employed at Venture Out.
Thank you, David, for your years of dedication, hard work, and continued service to the community.
Late Fee Reminder
Over the past two quarters, late fees for HOA payments were waived due to mid-year changes in our accounting program.
Beginning with the April 4 quarterly payment, please make sure your payment is received by the 15th of the month to avoid a late fee.
Thank you for helping us keep payments processed smoothly and on schedule.
Note from our Activity Director
As some residents may know, our Kitchen Manager resigned in March after four seasons with Venture Out. While this was unexpected, we understand his decision and sincerely wish him all the best moving forward. He will truly be missed.
Thank you to the many residents who have reached out with support and encouragement during this transition. Your kindness and understanding are greatly appreciated.
In April, we began the search for a new Venture Out Chef, and we look forward to welcoming another highly qualified, people-oriented individual to the team. We will continue to keep the community updated throughout the process.

Summer Work & Sonoran Room Update
Seasonal Operations
As seasonal operations come to a close, we want to thank everyone for being part of another wonderful year at Venture Out. It has been a pleasure seeing familiar faces, enjoying activities together, and sharing another great season in the community.
With seasonal closure now in effect, some scheduled activities and amenities may be reduced or paused until next season. Essential services and property maintenance will continue as scheduled so the community remains well cared for during the off-season.
Solar Light Project
Installation and improvement work for the solar light project will resume during the off-season. This project supports safety, visibility, and energy efficiency throughout the resort.
Thank you for your patience as this important work continues.
Sonoran Room Cabinets
The handyman group did an excellent job building and installing new cabinets in the Sonoran Room. Their work made a meaningful improvement to this common area.
A sincere thank you goes out to the handyman group for their time, skill, and dedication.

Hey there neighbor,
Now, I can’t speak for every minute of every day out by the pools, but here’s the straight scoop as I understand it.
Steve has directed Patrol to regularly walk through the pool areas and check for badges, guest compliance, and other rule-related issues. That includes making sure visitors and kiddos are following the established pool hours too.
Pool use here at Venture Out is governed under the Rules & Regulations, Section VI, Clause 8, which lays out the requirements and restrictions for residents and guests alike.
Like most things around a community this size, enforcement depends on staff visibility, timing, and residents speaking up when they see ongoing issues. Patrol can’t be everywhere at once, but the expectation is that the rules are being monitored and enforced as they make their rounds.
At the end of the day, everybody wants the pools to stay safe, peaceful, and enjoyable for the folks who follow the rules and just want to relax in the Arizona sunshine.
Hey there friend,
The quarterly HOA assessment increase will begin starting July 1, 2026.
If you’re looking for the exact amounts, billing periods, due dates, and assessment breakdown tied to each lot, you can find that information a couple different ways.
You can stop by the Administrative Office, where staff can provide the current assessment details and payment schedule, or you can visit the Venture Out website and head over to the HOA Assessment Payments section.
There you’ll find the current fee information along with the updated quarterly assessment details.
See FeesSometimes these things can feel about as clear as desert dust in a windstorm, but the office and website should both have the official numbers and timelines laid out plain and proper.
