Summary

The SCA Office will be OPEN

on Saturday, February 2nd

from 9 AM—1 PM.

The SCA Office will be

CLOSED Monday, February

18th for President’s Day.

• Annual Assessments are due by Friday, February 15th

. See page 10 for

more informa�on and amounts.

• Your Clubhouse key will work for the front door only un:l February 15th

and on that date, we’ll switch completely to fobs/cards. Each fob/card is a

$20 deposit and remember that you receive a $3 credit per returned old

Clubhouse key. And yes, you can write one check for everything (various

combina:ons of assessments, golf tags, cart permits, fob/card, key refund).

New Carpet Schedule?

will present a one-hour FREE* performance on

Sunday, February 24th

at 3:00 PM in the Clubhouse Ballroom.

This event is sponsored by the Social Club; More details on page 8.

*Dona:ons gratefully accepted

We don’t have a new carpet schedule as of the prin:ng date of this

newsleCer. Please go to our website, www.summerfield55.org, to see

updates under the Announcements sec:on of the homepage. If you don’t

have Internet access or a computer, chances are that your neighbor or

Summerfield friend does, so please ask them to check it for you. This is the

best way to communicate these last minutes changes. Coming to the

Clubhouse to see the calendar board isn’t prac:cal and that area may be

closed! With the poten:al sub-flooring challenges throughout the upstairs,

there may be :mes when an area is completely closed and unavailable.

Please respect the signs and cau:on tape! We might need groups to move

around last minute and we are so sorry about the schedule changes. If you

have ac:vi:es planned in February, start thinking about your back-up plan.


Cari’s Corner Is there a black cloud over the Clubhouse? Did we break a

mirror or have a black cat cross our path? All supers::ons

aside, it sure seems like we are having a streak of bad

luck...roof leaks, carpet installa:on problems and even a day

with no working copy machine (seriously!).

For those of you that haven’t heard, there were significant

challenges in removing the exis:ng carpet in the Ballroom/

Lakeview Room. In some areas, the removal was actually

peeling back thin layers of the plywood sub-flooring and in

others it was leaving a glue-y mess. They couldn’t lay the

new carpet on such an uneven surface, and it wouldn’t meet

the industry specifica:ons, so we had to explore various

op:ons. While the op:ons were being researched, we

allowed dance floor use only in the Ballroom and kept all

other rooms/areas opened. Our fitness and dance groups

have been so flexible and understanding. Unfortunately,

some other events have been cancelled and you can see

new February calendars on our website and posted in the

hallway. Keep checking our website homepage for carpet

schedule updates (www.summerfield55.org).

On the assessment collec:on and fob/card distribu:on

front, all is going very well. We are fortunate to have a

team of volunteers assis:ng during the busy :mes, helping

calculate payment amounts and showing residents how to

use the fob/card. The new fob/card system is so easy and

we are hearing a lot of posi:ve feedback. By the way, in this

case, fob is not an acronym (as in free-on-board in the trade

world); it’s just a regular word that derived from the pocket

watch era. It’s a ornament or token aCached to a chain; you

most likely already have a key fob for your car too.

Our Saturday office hours test in January was a huge success

and we’re planning another one in February: Saturday,

February 2nd

from 9 AM—1 PM. It was a lot of fun to meet

some residents that we normally don’t see too much of and

to learn about where they work. We were glad to see that

those folks actually read the Summary and knew about the

extra office hours!

Memoir Workshop Launched

The first mee:ng of the Memoir

Workshop, under the Social Club

umbrella, surprised everyone with an

aCendance of nearly 50 enthusias:c

wanna-be memoir writers. Because of

the large turnout, the par:cipants have

been split into two groups for future

sessions. Group 1, which will meet the

first Tuesday of each month at 1:00 PM,

includes par:cipants whose last names

begin with the leCers A through

O. Group 2, those with last names

beginning with P through Z, will meet the

third Tuesday each month at 1:00 PM.

The next scheduled mee:ngs will be

February 5th

for Group 1 and February

19th

for Group 2. Sessions are held in the

Conference Room at the Clubhouse

(across from the Library).

For those who missed the ini:al mee:ng,

the assignment is to start working on a

:me line of the events of your life,

star:ng with full name, date and place of

birth, and parent's names, dates of birth

and loca:ons, places you lived, schools

aCended—and moving on from there. If

you have addi:onal ques:ons, contact

Sally Stuart at (503) 642-9844 or Barbara

Roth at (503) 477-2481. Barbara Roth

will be leading the February sessions.

to play un:l 12-ish….but you can come and play just

a game or two to refresh or learn how. Join us!!!!

Fun is our goal and we can play with just two people

A successful building or remodeling project

requires careful planning and aCen:on to

detail. Below are the top five mistakes made

while doing a construc:on project or

remodel.

♦ Automa�cally accep�ng the lowest bid.

The old saying “you get what you pay

for” generally applies here. A higher bid

may be worth the price in beCer

materials, workmanship and reliability.

♦ No wri.en contract.

A wriCen contract protects you and the

contractor. It is required that all

construc:on agreements be commiCed

to a wriCen contract if the price exceeds

$2000.

♦ Not checking the contractor’s license.

A license is required for any construc:on

business that adver:ses, offers, bids,

arranges for, or performs any

construc:on, altera:on, home

improvement, remodeling or repair

work.

♦ Not checking references.

Check with previous customers. Were

they sa:sfied with the work? Was the

work finished within a reasonable :me

frame? Did the contractor return phone

calls? If the person had problems with

the contractor, ask how the contractor

responded to complaints. Look at

examples of the contractor’s work.

♦ Not doing the homework.

Plan your project carefully. Consider

your budget. Find pictures of styles and

products you like. Be sure your materials

and colors comply with the

SUMMERFIELD CC&R requirements.

Thank you Darlene Young! A[er many years of suppor:ng the Summerfield Board

of Directors by tackling the role as City of Tigard

Liaison, Darlene Young has decided to pass the baton.

The Board wishes to express their sincere thanks to

Darlene for her years of dedica:on, thorough

repor:ng, tenacious aTtude and calm, professional

demeanor.

And now we are looking for a new City of Tigard

Liaison! What does the job entail? Basically it’s

somebody to represent Summerfield to the City, on

big projects and small, as well as correspondence with

our residents. Some:mes a phone call or a visit to the

City offices will suffice, some:mes aCending a City

Council Mee:ng could be necessary. Then aCend the

monthly Board Mee:ngs to provide a report and

discuss any concerns. If interested, please contact Cari

Froeber, SCA Administrator, at 503.620.0131 or

[email protected].

The book for February is The Winter of Our Discontent,

John Steinbeck’s last novel, published in 1961. It tells

the story of Ethan Allen Hawley, a former member of

Long Island’s aristocra:c class. His father loses the

family fortune and Hawley finds himself working as a

clerk in a grocery store and with a wife and children

who resent their low social and economic posi:on.

Hawley wants to regain his former status and others

have ideas how he could do that, but not all ideas are

moral or even legal. Hawley had always prided himself

on his honesty and integrity, so this creates a huge

conflict for him. Will he compromise his morals to

achieve his goals or uphold them? We are le[ to won-

der as Hawley starts on his quest. You are invited to

read the book and then join us on Tuesday, February

12th

at 2:00 PM in the Conference Room of the Club-

house to discuss it.

The March book is appropriately named March; a

Novel by Geraldine Brooks. Happy reading!

many volunteers whose efforts help to make Sum-

merfield a vibrant and well organized place to live.

Many of these volunteers and the jobs they do may

be unknown to many of you and so our goal is to

acquaint you with them and to thank them.

In the coming months we will be showcasing the

individuals who work so diligently behind the

scenes to create the community that we all enjoy.

Perhaps we can interest some of you in sharing your

:me and unique talent. Becoming part of the pro-

If you know any of our ”unsung heroes”, that you

might like for us to showcase, please let us know.

Grizzly Bears and Black Bears roamed the golf course — but

no Polar Bears were cited at the Summerfield Men’s Golf

Club annual Polar Bear Open on January 8th, according to

Ron Lynch, tournament chairman.

The weather cooperated for the four person scramble

event….brrrrrr. Golfers were treated to minor modifica:ons

on each hole which made course and Clubhouse

conversa:ons very interes:ng. Par:cipants enjoyed coffee

Happy New Year to all! I hope everyone

had a wonderful Christmas and safe New

Year’s. With the New Year upon us now,

it’s :me to start thinking about our golf

games again. Beginning February 1st

, we

will again be offering our annual $10 club

fiTng promo:on. Give us a call to

schedule a :me to come in and see if

your clubs are properly fit for you. During

this :me we will also be running our re-

grip special of $1 per club (+ the price of

the grip) and 50% off any adjustments

that need to be done on your clubs.

Don’t forget about lessons. This is a great

:me of year to be working on your game.

Call Rob in the golf shop for pricing and

availability.

2013 club storage dues are now due. If

you currently store your clubs here or

would like to for the upcoming season,

the cost is $35 for the year. If you play

the majority of your rounds at

Summerfield, this is a steal of a deal. No

sense pushing your clubs home every day

if you can store them right here. Come in

and talk with someone in the golf shop

and we will assign you a club locker and

the rest is history.
