Communications Chair
“In the last issue of Desert Ridge Lifestyles, we discussed the new growth and development in our community. In this issue, we thought it would be fun to understand the history of Desert Ridge, putting our community’s growth in perspective. I think this issue is a “keeper,” as a reference guide to helping us understand our community – enabling us to tell our friends, neighbors and kids the reason why our streets arnamed what they are. With groundbreaking on the refreshed Cashman Park officially underway this summer, let’s find out about Nellie Cashman, the Arizona figure that lived 100 years ago (about the same age as the playground equipment).
For me, this magazine is also keeper because it’s the last to be written while I’m on the Desert Ridge Board of Directors and serving as the Desert Ridge Communication Committee Chair. Over the last 4 years I have truly enjoyed serving on the Board to make our community a better place. I encourage your volunteerism to support our community, whether through serving on the Board or one of its committees, picking up a stray piece of trash blowing in the wind, respecting the community bylaws, or simply by saying “Hi” to your neighbors. I continue to believe that we live in the best community in the Valley, and I look forward to being a supportive resident, reading every issue of Desert Ridge Lifestyles cover to cover.”
