modest upgrades to the Residents’ Center,

The Board had received the challenge from past boards to keep ArrowCreek simply the best place in Northern Nevada to live. The residents will be the judge of just how well we did. Let us touch upon the goals and successes of this year. Overall, the Board accomplished most of the goals we set for the community at the beginning of the year.

First, we continued the dialog with residents by holding town halls and sending monthly email blasts. We instituted biweekly meetings at the Residents’ Center with our

including modernizing the multipurpose room to accommodate for small meetings, installing a kitchenette and new flooring throughout, and updating the bathrooms.

This is still a work in progress with more to come in 2025. Rumors of renovation costs between $750,000 to $1 million circulated prior to work commencing on the Residents’ Center; however, all replacement, repair, and maintenance work has been performed at much lower costs than the aforementioned amounts.

We have been a responsible steward of your money by saving money on roads this year, which is by far the largest expense of the community. Our general manager, Scott Peterlin, has squeezed more life out of our facilities equipment, and we saved significant Social Committee expenses while still having many successful events with the HOA working collegially with The Club at

Board of Directors

In Memory of Bill Boon It is with deep sadness that we mark the passing of Bill Boon, a beloved member of the ArrowCreek community, who passed away on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. Bill’s contributions to our neighborhood and beyond were immeasurable, and his kindness, leadership, and generosity left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Bill’s dedication to service began soon after he and his wife Sue settled in ArrowCreek in 2006. In 2007, Bill began serving on various HOA committees, offering his expertise, insights, and leadership. His involvement grew steadily over the years, and he served as a member of the HOA board from 2008 to 2009. His most recent role, as Co-Chair of the Reserve Committee, saw him lead for more than a decade,

ensuring the long-term financial health and maintenance of our community’s infrastructure.

Beyond his work in ArrowCreek, Bill was also deeply committed to giving back to the wider Reno community. He generously volunteered his time and talents to numerous charitable organizations, including the Eddy House, SCORE, and the Rotary Club.

Bill’s family was the cornerstone of his life. He is survived by his wife Sue, and their four children: Jennifer, Bill, David, and John, as well as their spouses and nine grandchildren.

Though we mourn his loss, Bill Boon’s legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched through his work in ArrowCreek and beyond. His example of service, kindness, and generosity will continue to inspire us all.

Our thoughts are with Sue and the entire Boon family during this difficult time. We extend our deepest condolences and gratitude for sharing Bill with us. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

board member spotlight achoa board welcomes ron duncan Community service is a driving factor in Ron Duncan’s dedication to our ArrowCreek community.

As a member of the ArrowCreek Architecture Design Review Committee (ADRC), Ron has assisted the Board of Directors in maintaining community values.

As a member of the Governing Documents Committee, he worked to ensure legally compliant updates to our ACHOA CC&Rs and By-Laws for all owners. Also, as a member of the Safety Committee, he has been working with others to rectify and correct operational deficiencies learned from

Susan and Ron bought their lot on Nambe Drive in 2000, in anticipation of retirement from the defense electronics world.

Ron managed and maintained budgets, which involved tracking them against forecasted values, on programs/projects ranging in value from $100,000 to $10,000,000. The ACHOA budget is within this range of expertise. Susan and Ron built their home in 2003-2004 and commuted every two weeks from Long Beach to ArrowCreek until 2012, when they became active full-time members of our ArrowCreek HOA village.

Ron enjoys challenges, data analysis (he produces ArrowCreek home value studies on arrowcreek411.com), and railroad operations (he has and enjoys some model trains).

Since Ron’s mantra is community service, he will work diligently for YOU, to maintain our community as the best in Northern Nevada.

We would like to report that at the annual meeting and subsequent board meeting, the following actions were taken. The 2025 budget was ratified including the new assessment amounts of $382.25 per month per lot, $389.25 for lots behind the reserve gates.

Please note that liabilities include future reserves, ADRC deposits which have been collected and are payable in the future, and unrealized equipment depreciation.

At the post annual members meeting board meeting, the officers chosen for 2025 were Stan Jaeger President, Margaret McConnell

Daffodils are perfect flowers for our high desert environment. The hardest part is planting the bulbs six inches deep once the ground cools down from summer heat. Give them some water in the hole before filling it with dirt. No other water is necessary.

They thrive on the winter snow and rain and spring rain. They should NOT be irrigated during spring, summer or fall. They are poisonous to critters, so the deer, squirrels, rabbits, marmots, etc. tend to leave them alone. Look for the blooms of our labor next April-Mayish.

residentS' center residents´ center bathroom remodel In 2024 the Board of Directors approved a minor remodel of the Residents’ Center bathrooms. New modern quartz countertops replaced the 20-year-old Formica. Automated faucets and mirrors were installed along with a deep cleaning of the flooring and tile. The walls and lockers received a fresh coat of paint, and a diaper station was installed in the men’s bathroom as well.

New ceiling exhaust fans were also added in both the men's & women's shower stalls and main bathroom areas to improve the air flow and ventilation. New lighting fixtures were installed, and existing lights were replaced with LEDs. The bathrooms inside the Residents’ Center were completed in early December.

Homeowners can also look forward to a modest remodel and upgrade of the pool house bathrooms and showers before the pools open in the Spring of 2025.

ArrowCreek show attendees were there! Sean McConnell and John Elliott finished the 2024 lineup with indoor shows on October 18 and November 9, respectively.

Major thanks go out to ArrowCreek Attendee Patrons who donate to attend shows at The Club at ArrowCreek. Outcomes have been financially attractive for nationally touring artists who are not “big enough” to play Reno’s largest venues but have struggled in other venue alternatives. For the Song and ArrowCreek in effect subsidize visits to Northern Nevada while helping promote a public audience-building show at venues like the Piper’s Opera House, the Brewery Arts Center, the Nashville Social Club and the Nevada Museum of Art. “We know of no other foundation or charity that does something similar,” said Lynn Goodman, Fund Advisor of For the Song. “That is, there are plenty of communities that bring in local and/or touring artists specifically for their community members. But we know of no other foundation that then promotes public shows so that the public can also enjoy these national acts while the artists build a broader Western U.S. and Northern Nevada audience.”

The For the Song Charitable Fund provides every penny of attendance donations directly to the artists. In addition, the families funding For the Song as Fund Patrons have donated to cover production, promotion and hospitality costs. The Fund spends $25,000 per artist visit to deliver $4-10,000 outcomes.

In Memory of Bill Boon “Bill was always the smartest person in the room, but what impressed me the most was his ability to gain a consensus amongst very strong-willed individuals with opposing viewpoints.

Bill was also genuinely kind and cared about people. I worked closely with him the past seven years on the Reserve Committee, and he will be sorely missed as a leader and a friend."

VeteransGuestHouse

Klaich, arrowcreek women behind the scenes ByVGHPatrice Donor Relations Manager

Over the past few years, 20 ArrowCreek

women have been working hard behind the scenes to support a local non-profit serving veterans across Northern Nevada.

What started as a simple act of kindness – a monthly homecooked dinner for 33 military families - has blossomed into a powerful task force of resolute women who helped raise more than $140,000 at Veterans Guest House’s most recent fashion show in October. Veterans Guest House (VGH) is devoted to breaking down barriers to healthcare for veteran families by providing free lodging, meals, transportation, and personal care assistance. Thanks to this group’s support, Veterans Guest House will be opening a second location for those in need of hospice care. Special thanks to Margaret McConnell, Mary Enright, Monk & Rosie Mann for their dedication and leadership for these and a variety of projects at VGH. To learn more about VGH please visit www.veteransguesthouse.org.

On a much smaller scale, it was also the 11th anniversary of our dog Bonanza’s “Gotcha Day." Considering that he just received a terminal cancer diagnosis, the boy is doing well and enjoying dog-life.

We so appreciate our time with him.

arrowcreek's 9th annual holiday donation drive Security, Residents’ Center, and the rest of the HOA Staff would like to thank everyone for the generosity during our donation drive in 2024. We were able to help our community with four truckloads of toys, food, and new clothes. This year we were overjoyed to announce our 9th Annual Holiday Donation Drive. This has been our best year by far.

We started accepting donations a little early this year. All the donations collected were taken to the Grand Sierra Resort on December 13, 2024. The donations are distributed to Toys for Tots, Northern Nevada Food Bank and Local Shelters. We also received one truckload of like-new used items to distribute to our local shelters.
