THE IMPORTANCE OF

Relationships

Late last year, I had the privilege to go through a “360 Assessment.” Although this type of assessment was not new to CCMC, it was to me. As you may know, a 360 provides individuals the opportunity to receive performance feedback from raters who work closely with them and, based upon the results, better understand their strengths and weaknesses. Suppose you’ve participated in a similar assessment. In that case, you know the crazy roller-coaster of emotions it takes you through — and once it stops, you realize that using this tool effectively will contribute to your successful professional development.

During my assessment, thirteen individuals ranked and commented on categories regarding my character, interpersonal skills, industry knowledge, ability to innovate, talent-building competency, and leadership. With an open mind, I concluded that my leadership style focused more on “execution” and less

on people. Overall, the time I dedicated to understanding the business, following through on commitments, achieving results, and demanding excellence superseded my time devoted to building relationships. My dominant expressive trait was screaming inside, as this was never my intention.

Recently, I sat down with all of my raters and shared the results.

Together, we talked about my action plan and my commitment to building and fostering team, peer, and community relationships. In addition to working on my relationship with my team, here’s how building my peer and community relationships will benefit you.

Not long ago, CCMC acquired management of the nearby Red Mountain Ranch and has managed the Mountain Bridge Community Association for several years. Quarterly, key team members and I will meet with both Community Managers to discuss annual projects, cost-savings measures, contractor evaluations, common concerns, and neighborhood safety and legislation efforts. Similar meetings will be held with local stakeholders such as the Las Sendas Golf Course, Mesa Public Schools, Real

Together, we talked about my action plan and my commitment to building and fostering team, peer, and community relationships.

Estate Agents, and eventually with the City of Mesa’s Planning Department. These meetings will focus on marketing partnerships, innovation, and ways to increase our internal and external communication to our second-largest age groups demographics (35-54 and 55-64). Periodically, meeting outcomes will be shared internally with team members and outwardly with the Board of Directors and residents.

I will forever be grateful for the honest and valuable feedback provided to me by these exceptional thirteen individuals.

Participating in this 360 Assessment was painful at times, but having the results to remind me of the true importance of relationships is a treasure. ■

EFFLORESCENCE and overwatering We receive numerous calls from residents regarding shared walls between backyards. The most common concern is that their side of the shared wall is wet or has efflorescence due to overwatering by their neighbor.

Efflorescence — a salty deposit that occurs on the surfaces of bricks, concrete and other masonry products — requires three elements: salt, water, and a porous material. When salt-loaded water reaches the surface of the brick, air evaporates the water, leaving the salt behind.

To keep shared walls, retaining walls, and return walls looking good for as long as possible, it is important to not overwater. Also, water sprinkler and drip irrigation systems should be set up to not direct water at walls.

Following are a few ways to remove efflorescence from block or pavers. The best time to do so is when the weather is warm and dry.

• Squirt a few drops of liquid dish soap into a 5-gallon bucket

and fill with warm water. Dip a stiff-bristled brush or a plastic scouring brush into the soapy water and scrub the wall.

• Rinsing with a pressure washer can dissolve efflorescence, allowing it to run off. With a pressure washer, use the widestangle tip that works without damaging the surface. With the rinsing method, though, the water may bring more salts to the surface as the substrate dries, so re-rinsing or brushing may still be necessary.

• There are cleaners and sealers that are available at Home Depot and Lowe's that are made to combat efflorescence.

If your backyard walls need paint, you may use the body color of your home, or Dunn Edward’s Las Sendas Nightingale, paint type: Acri-Flat. ■

VISIT THE

Communication Station!

Do you have a great idea or a concern that affects our community?

The board and the management team want to hear from you and the Communication Station is the place to go to have your voice heard. We are listening and taking action.

Last year Lynn had an idea. She wanted to do something about the water-logged books at the Harriet Tubman Little Library. Lynn even offered to buy and install a Rubbermaid container. She sent a message via the online Communication Station and the communications coordinator responded immediately. He also notified both our Executive Director, Kristine Nau (who thought it was a great idea), and our maintenance team (who went out and applied a coat of water sealant to the box). The Little Library was then mentioned in a few of our weekly eblasts, and the sealant has been reapplied every few months. Thanks to Lynn for reaching out and helping to improve the Little Library!

So don’t be shy! Visit thetrailhead.org, scroll down the home page, click on Communication Station,, and tell us what's on your mind. ■

KEEPING YOU INFORMED

Kelly Curtis | Director, Association Board of Directors, and Chair, Communications Committee

In April, the plan for communicating meaningfully with our community was presented to the Las Sendas Community Association’s Board of Directors by the Communications Committee. This Committee, comprised of experienced marketing and communication professionals, demonstrated that the recommended plan supports the 2021 Las Sendas strategic plan’s key initiatives.

We began building the communication plan by evaluating how the Association is currently communicating and examining

ION OF THE THE OFFICIAL PUBLICAT

ways that our current communication might be built upon or reimagined. The results of this study led to recommendations for establishing brand identity, improving the Las Sendas magazine, and increasing the commitment to our website, social media, and e-newsletters.

The communications plan also included future opportunities, such as producing video content, implementing an emergency texting system, establishing bulletin board templates, and creating a new resident orientation and “a refresher” gathering for longterm community members.

The Las Sendas communication plan will help us to foster a knowledgeable, multigenerational community of residents who engage in our recreational and social events. Equipped with this plan, our community members will better understand the community’s requirements for property improvements, aesthetics, and safety guidelines.

Additionally, the plan included communication strategies to reach realtors, golf course visitors, schools, local businesses, and other local officials and organizations.

As stated in the plan, its goal “is to chart a path for sustained, meaningful communication” that will result “in increased resident knowledge and satisfaction.” We couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of a more connected community. community ■

The value of a communication plan is to chart a path for sustained, meaningful communication resulting in increased resident knowledge and satisfaction.

LANDSCAPE UPDATE Walking the community, you may have noticed uncapped irrigation emitters, water in areas where there are no plants, and other issues. After ProQual completed an audit of the nearly 20-year-old system, it was evident that the high volume of needed repairs cannot be made within the current irrigation repairs budget. As such, the Landscape Committee has been reviewing plans to replace the entire drip irrigation system. Because replacement of the irrigation system was not included in previous Reserve Studies, the first step will be to ensure the project is adequately funded in the reserves. The Landscape Committee hopes to present its recommendations to the Board, including funding requirements, ROI, and timing, in June.

KEEPING YOU SAFE from (almost) everything Forest LaBruzzo | Chair, Security and Safety Committee

Lions! Tigers! Zombies! Oh my ... Ok, maybe the Las Sendas Security and Safety Committee won’t be able to protect our beautiful neighborhood from rampaging zoo animals or the undead, though we are working hard to make our community as safe as it can be. We have several big, ongoing projects.

Firstly, the amenity access control update is well underway and expected to be completed shortly. This update to our parks, tennis and pickleball courts, pools and other amenity areas will eliminate the need for keys and unify access using a single badge.

Another project approved in 2020, is the enclave gate project.

Residents will now have the option of using new RFID tags which will facilitate easier access than the more antiquated codes and remotes. Residents will also have more control over who comes in and out of their enclaves via the updated call boxes that allows guests to call residents’ cell phones in order to be let through. No more having to give out personal gate codes!

As we move into 2021, the subcommittee is hard at work on conducting a complete assessment of the Las Sendas Patrol program. Weighing the needs of our neighborhood and analyzing the reported incidents in and around our community to make sure Las Sendas has the “best fit” solution for the environment

and type of lifestyle we want to maintain and protect. Additionally, several of our members are partnering with local authorities as well as other communities to review and improve our Emergency Action Plans. These plans will provide a robust strategy into how and what actions need to take place during any emergency.

Finally, the team is taking steps to be more proactive in communication and providing conduits to resolve issues.

Remember, if you have a concern, please notify the Patrol team or CCMC. While it may be tempting to take to social media and air grievances, management and the various subcommittees cannot act on items they are not aware of. Please reach out with any concerns or comments so we can keep Las Sendas the beautiful and safe community it is. ■

FINANCE UPDATE

Brent Hoskinson | Member, Finance Committee

The past year has been just as interesting for the Finance Committee as it has been for the rest of the world — like you all, our meetings were virtual, and not all of us have mastered the mute and unmute buttons on Zoom.

Many of you may remember that during the fall of 2019, the Association put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) for financial services regarding our community’s Reserve/Investment Account. It was a very lengthy process that began with invitations being sent to various financial institutions with the intent of making a recommendation to the Board of Directors (BOD) by the end of 2019. Our Committee extensively interviewed the remaining three candidates after reviewing their proposals and narrowed the field from five to three financial institutions.

The Committee recommended that the BOD have Prudent Man Advisors (PMA) handle the LSCA Reserve/Investment

Account moving forward. The BOD resolved to accept the Committee's recommendation at its February 2020 meeting, and the transition of funds from the previous financial institution to PMA was completed in July 2020. The selection process was comprehensive, and the Committee did a terrific job of doing their due diligence. This process should be repeated at discretion or as needed every five years.

The Committee is confident that PMA will help LSCA achieve its financial goals for the Reserve/Investment accounts. The Committee meets with PMA for quarterly reports to ensure that the LSCA achieves its investment goals with the reserve accounts.

As the Finance Committee, we regularly review our investment policy to ensure that our Reserve/Investment Account is aligned with the policy agreement. You can find a copy of this policy online at thetrailhead.org ■

Linda Barton | Board Liaison to the Short-Term Rental Working Group

Vrbo and AirBnB are just two of the platforms commonly used by homeowners to rent out their space for short periods of time. Here at Las Sendas, short-term rental properties are becoming increasingly popular, and nonresidents stay in our neighborhood as part of their vacations or weekend parties. As one resident put it, “it’s like having a motel next door.” Under the Planned Community Act, A.R.S. §33-1806.01, a member of an association may rent their property and use it in accordance with the declaration’s (CC&Rs) rental time period restrictions. Las Sendas’ CC&Rs are silent regarding rental time period restrictions and we cannot regulate short-term rentals in our community.

As you are most likely aware, the Short-Term Rental Working Group (STRWG) is a committee comprised of Las Sendas residents who already assisted in the revision of the Violation Enforcement and Fine Policy and development of the new Rental Registration Policy.

The STRWG is gathering information by collecting your experiences to further understand if there is a need to initiate a campaign to amend the CC&Rs and add rental time period restrictions. Since the rollout of our rental registration policy, more than 100 homes have been registered as rental properties. In recent months, resident complaints have more than doubled.

Some of these complaints include mentions of “large loud gatherings with cars parked throughout the street” and “cars coming and going at all hours of the night.” Others have concerns about roaring music, vulgarities, and frat-like activity that continue weekend in and weekend out. One resident said that having a short-term rental nearby “has changed the whole feel of our quiet neighborhood.”

. . help document the impact short-term rentals have on our neighborhood.

Here are three things you can do now to help document the impact short-term rentals have on our neighborhood and for immediate action by our Community Association: 1 | Contact Las Sendas Patrol at 480-220-1794 between 3 pm and 5 am if there is noise, parking, or other issues.

2 | During regular business hours, contact the Las Sendas Trailhead office at 480-357-8780 or go online at thetrailhead.org/forms to file a formal complaint. | 3 Make a note of what is happening and send any documentation you collect to our committee at lassendasstrwg@gmail.com.

4 | Should the Board of Directors move to amend our CC&Rs, volunteer to be an ambassador for your enclave and spread the word.

Here are additional steps you can take to preserve our peaceful, residential way of life if you live near a short-term rental property: 5 | If you know the management company or property owner, contact them directly by phone, email, or writing.

6 | If you know which vacation rental website or platform advertises the property, submit a formal complaint with that company and include the property address.

Additionally, you can call the Mesa Police Department’s nonemergency line at 480-644-2211 if the noise disturbs the peace for an extended period or between 10 pm and 6 am.

As we work together to document the impact vacation homes have on our neighborhood, we will get one step closer to updating the CC&Rs and help to protect our residential lifestyle here in Las Sendas. ■

Connections

When you think of Community Associations, “lifestyle” is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, I would bet that many of you are unaware that Las Sendas offers a Lifestyle Department. Whether you’re new to the community or have lived here for a decade, I want to take a moment to illuminate the side of your Association that is focused on fun, family and resident connections.

Las Sendas offers a variety of events throughout the year that are designed to get you out of your homes to connect with your neighbors and to enjoy families and friends. Our events range from small events (like our upcoming Ladybug Release to celebrate Earth Day) to the granddaddy of them all: Neighborfest — which we hope to bring back next spring!

Throughout this past year our programming and events have looked a little different in an effort to keep our community safe as we all tried to navigate through the crazy times. With Arizona lifting COVID-19 restrictions, I am thrilled to reintroduce in-person lifestyle events! As we ease back into normalcy I recognize that residents are all operating at different comfort levels related to various reopenings. Virtual events and pick up craft kits will still be offered for those who aren’t ready to meet face-to-face. Masks and social distancing will be strongly encouraged and sanitizing stations will be located throughout all events.

For those who are itching to get back in action, we’ll be kicking off summer and celebrating the end of a very long school year with a “Big Summer Blowout” at the end of May. The event will include slip n' slides, water games, a DJ and much more! Be on the lookout for details and additional upcoming summer camps and summertime events in our weekly e-newsletters!

If you are not recieveing e-newsletters from the Association, please sign up online at thetrailhead.org, by clicking on weekly email newsletter on the Home page. It is truly the best way to learn about upcoming events, association news and other things pertaining to our community. ■

Little-Known Benefits of DRINKING YOUR WATER Most of us are chronically dehydrated. Every day we lose up to 64 ounces of water through perspiration — without even working out. And that affects you in more ways that you think — down to those wrinkles on your hands that seem to appear out of nowhere as we age. So it’s super important to make sure you’re drinking your water throughout the day.

We’ve all heard the term “stay hydrated.” It’s a pretty popular health and wellness catchphrase by now. But water has some great benefits beyond keeping you hydrated.

REALLY good reasons to keep drinking that water: • Our brains are made of 73 percent water, so not staying hydrated takes a toll on neurological processes. It affects your cognitive skills, coordination, memory, and mood.

• Staying sufficiently hydrated is one of the best ways to tighten up those wrinkles and/or loose skin after you have lost significant weight.

• Often when you feel hungry you’re actually dehydrated. So drinking water throughout the day will help keep the hunger at bay.

• Headaches are one of the first symptoms of dehydration. If you are tired and feeling a headache coming on, drink some water.

• Water is also a natural lubricant for joints and muscles. Staying hydrated makes you less likely to have sprained ankles, backaches, or muscle strain.

A

Staying hydrated helps your well-being from the top of your head to the tips of your toes and keeps systems running the way they should. Summer is upon us, so now is a great time to start getting that water in.

Tips on how you can get more water into your day: • Drink 8-16 ounces when you wake up.

• Use a water trigger such as drinking a glass of water before or during each meal.

• Add lemon, cucumber or other fruits/vegetables for a different taste.

• Use a refillable water bottle to keep track of how much you’re drinking.

• Drink a glass of water before bed. ■

HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU NEED? The well-known recommendation is to drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water each day (64 ounces, or about two liters). But the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, suggest you drink even more:

B

• Men: 125oz (3.7 liters) of water/day* • Women: 91oz (2.7 liters) of water/day* C

*From all dietary sources. Dietary sources include: water, tea, coffee, flavored waters, and high-water content foods like watermelon, cucumbers, etc

There are so many great water bottles on the market to help keep you on track with your water intake.

Here are a few faves available on Amazon: A: AideaMart glass water bottle, 17oz, 5 colors available, $19.99; B:: Fimibuke motivational water bottle, 1 gallon, 2 colors available,, $17.99; C:: purifyou premium glass water bottle, 32, 22, or 12 oz, 8 colors available,, $29.99

Hydration FOR YOUR SKIN Everyone wants clearer, more beautiful skin, but few of us are willing to go through the pain and downtime associated with deep skin treatments. That’s why Hydrofacials are the new skin treatment of choice.

“A Hydrofacial is a treatment that uses patented technology (a medical-grade device) to cleanse, extract, and hydrate skin,” explains Patricia Phillips, LPN, LE and Aesthetician at the Las Sendas Spa and Fitness Center. “It clears dead skin cells, loosens pores, and preps them for extraction using a mix of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and botanical extracts. Then, it uses a unique vacuum-powered extraction method to remove “gunk” from the skin in a virtually painless procedure.”

This is all made possible by a double-helix vortex treatment wand. One chamber of the wand draws dead skin cells and dirt from the skin while the other pumps the skin full of soothing nutrients (hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and growth factors). Your skin is freshly cleared for deeper penetration. It’s essentially a peel, microdermabrasion, and hydrating mask all in one.

The Hydrofacial produces consistent results that patients can count on time and time again. It’s reliably safe and effective at improving the current condition of your skin, and by providing an infusion of essential vitamins, moisture, and antioxidants, it helps fight the early signs of aging and protects from environmental pollution and harmful free radicals. The treatment works instantly on visible pores, fine lines, and even acne. Patients will witness enhanced firmness and improved texture immediately — you can expect to leave your Hydrofacial treatment with a brighter complexion and glowing skin. ■

A Hydrofacial can be customized and used to address a variety of skin care needs, including: • • • • • • •

Fine lines and wrinkles Elasticity and firmness Even tone and vibrancy Skin texture Brown spots Oily and congested skin Enlarged pores

More extensive Hydrofacial treatments can also include features such as: • • • •

Radiofrequency, LED light therapy Oxygen More targeted add-ons and boosters Dermaplaning

DIANE DUNN Titlest Performance Institute Certified Instructor

WHAT IS TPI? Titleist Professional Institute (TPI) is, according to its website, a program that “… uses a holistic approach and innovative technologies to help golfers improve their performance." TPI utilizes advanced equipment fitting methods, detailed swing analysis, and science-based player conditioning. Their TPI Certification was developed to train Golf Professionals, Personal Trainers, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and Medical Practitioners to understand the correlation between a golfers' physical limitations and their swing flaws. The TPI program is used by many professional golfers, as well as golfers of all abilities looking to improve their golf experience.

As a Certified TPI Fitness Instructor here at Las Sendas I will take you through 15 movements to assess where your strengths, weaknesses, range of motion and balance movements are. Through this program, I will help you to hit the ball further, have better core strength and balance, improve your endurance through that full golf game, and alleviate pain in your back, neck, and hips. ■

For more information about TPI, or to find out what packages Diane offers, call the Las Sendas Spa and Fitness Center at 480-832-6900.

I Tried a BARRE CLASS

By Angie Sterling, Desert Vistas

As someone who’s in decent shape — but trying to kick my fitness level up a notch — I decided to give group fitness classes at the Las Sendas Spa & Fitness Center a try.

The Barre class I started with provided a full-body workout that accommodated my intermediate fitness level. This particular class (on Wednesdays at 8:30 am) was led by Tanya, who was not only motivating and enthusiastic, but also very helpful at demonstrating alternative positions for anyone with physical restrictions such as back or knee issues.

The class began with a 5-10 minute warm-up followed by upper body exercises with light weights to tone the back, shoulders, and arms. Lower body toning was done with the use of the barre along with some targeted work on a mat. This was where I could really feel the burn! I couldn’t complete the full set of reps, but people who take the class on a regular basis could.

The class also incorporated core strengthening and some final stretches to cool down. While this was an extremely challenging class for me, it’s adaptable enough to suit anyone looking to try something new! ■

Get Your Summer-Worthy GLUTEUS MAXIMUS With the onset of warmer weather, our wardrobes start to shift in the direction of shorts, t-shirts, and even sleeveless tops. This leads to thoughts of wanting to look better in such clothing. This then leads our training, or exercise selections, to what I call “cosmetic priority.”

You may be wanting to create a little more definition — have your upper extremities (arms), lower extremities (legs) and gluteal group (butt) look better. I’m going to indulge you in some strategies to target one of these “cosmetic” areas, the glutes, and more specifically, the gluteus maximus (your butt), which from here on will be referred to as the GM. An individual needs to understand some of the factors that affect what is called hypertrophy, or increase in skeletal muscle size. Nutrition, genetics, and exercise selection are the key factors. The purpose of this article is to offer you three different exercises that target the GM. The main function of the GM is hip extension. Understanding the difference between hip extension and lumbar extension is crucial to targeting the GM and keeping your lower back healthy. All three exercises can start out using only your body weight, but proper loading is needed for muscular growth to occur. Performing 6-12 repetitions with a weight that is challenging is recommended when beginning training — but technique is paramount! ■

HIP THRUSTS | demonstrated by trainer Diane Dunn Place shoulder blades on the side of a stable bench, feet flat and about shoulder width apart. Place the feet a distance from the bench so that when your hips are fully extended, the shins are perpendicular to the floor (feet will be directly under the knees, knees at 90 degrees). Keep the head still and shoulders positioned on the bench as you lower your GM to the floor.

Extend the hip until the hips are fully extended. Do not go into hyperextension. Maintain a slow controlled movement.

SINGLE LEG ROMANIAN DEADLIFT demonstrated by trainer Margie Clegg

Start with feet about hip width. Keeping the spine/ torso straight, hinge the hips backward, bending at the hip, raising one leg behind you keeping it straight, toe pointed at the floor. The leg you are working will bend slightly at the knee, but don’t push the shin/knee forward. To return to the upright position, focus on squeezing the glute.

SQUAT | demonstrated by trainer Margie Clegg This may be the most basic of exercises, and an exercise that is often performed incorrectly. Hip anatomy, ankle mobility, and torso strength are factors that affect technique. It is basically a super effcient standing up from a sitting position. Foot placement can be wider than shoulders, shoulder width, or slightly narrower. Toes will be angled out to some degree, depending on the individual. Keeping the feet flat, begin the movement by pressing the hips back and down, bending forward slightly at the hip, angling the torso forward, until desired depth is reached, then return to the starting position.

Clubs Programs AND

TENNIS:

A Brief History Tennis is a sport with a long history and tradition dating back to twelfth century France, to a game called Jeu de Paume or “game of the palm.” It was played with a wooden ball over a net with the palm of the hand. The word tennis is believed to have originated from tenez, which means “take heed” or “receive” and was called out by the server before serving. Since then, tennis has evolved and gone through many transformations. The modern version was invented by Major Walter Wingfield in 1873. Called lawn tennis, it was played on grass with a racket and a ball made out of leather with a wool filling. The dress code at the time was blazers and flannel pants for men and corsets with long layered dresses for women.

Thankfully the dress code has been relaxed, allowing more comfortable attire for the courts.

The game of tennis can be enjoyed by anyone, at any age, and there are many health benefits to playing. A recent study suggests that people who regularly play a racket sport decrease their odds of a heart attack or stroke — mostly due to the aerobic activity required. Tennis also increases your range of motion, improves balance, eye-hand coordination and reflexes.

Retirees Tennis Plus The Retirees Tennis Plus is a group of local seniors (retired or not) who are interested in playing social tennis. As the pandemic quarantine and restrictions are lifted, it is a great way to get back to some exercise and socially-distanced interaction with friends.

So if you haven’t picked up a racket in years or have never played, now is a great time to give it a try. The Retirees Tennis Plus Group meets every Thursday on the Sonoran courts 3, 4 and 5. Playing time for November through March is 9-11 am and for April through October is 8-10 am. During July and August there is no organized play because of the summer heat but one court is reserved from 7-9 am should any members choose to set up their own game. There is no sign-up required, no fees, and all skill levels are welcome.

Just drop in on a Thursday morning for some fun. ■

THE POWER OF

By Joanne Jolee

the Mastermind Group

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” This sharpening process is the heart of the Mastermind for Entrepreneurial Women group where members question, encourage, coach, and challenge each other in their personal and professional lives.

Masterminds are age-old. Benjamin Franklin established The Junto in 1727, a club for mutual improvement and to exchange knowledge of business affairs. From his autobiography, “Our debates were to be under the direction of a president, and to be conducted in the sincere spirit of inquiry after truth, without fondness for dispute or desire of victory.”

This Las Sendas masterminds group consists of entrepreneurs and business owners from a variety of fields with an objective of assisting members with difficult issues, using the insights and experiences of the group at large. Members take turns on the ‘hot seat’ to present their current challenge to the group, and a brainstorming session ensues. This is the most valuable aspect of the group — when the collective knowledge and wisdom of the group focuses on finding solutions, and the member in the spotlight settles on next steps, and becomes accountable to follow through.

BENEFITS OF A MASTERMIND GROUP • High-Level Networking. Members are

leaders, founders and experts in their fields and committed to the success of the others. There is no hidden agenda.

Members share and help each other; meaningful relationships are built and problems get solved!

• Fresh Perspectives. As members observe each other on the hot seat, they find applications to their own businesses, ways to improve their current systems and processes, and ideas they had not previously considered.

• Accountability. Mastermind groups are not for the faint-hearted. In our analogy, as the irons grind past each other, there is heat and sparks fly. Members receive opinions and constructive criticism, not from wellmeaning friends and family who tell you what you want to hear, but from associates who will tell you what you need to hear.

• Expansion. “Everyone you meet knows something you don’t know.” This is multiplied in mastermind groups where members bring to the table their skill sets, their energy, their creativity and inspiration, each encouraging the others to take their venture to the next level.

Mastermind for Entrepreneurial Women is facilitated by Joanne Jolee. Contact her at joanne@joannejolee.com for more information. ■

“The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.”

!

2021

Well, this has been quite the year! Our Las Sendas graduating seniors have made it through remote learning, new school schedules, and in-classroom COVID-19 precautions. We are so incredibly proud of these young women and men who have accomplished so much through this global pandemic. Of course, the pandemic is not what defines this class of graduating seniors — after all, they have spent more than a decade learning, growing, and becoming who they are today. From the athletes to the artists to the academics, these youth are the future of our community. Here’s to a safe and celebratory graduation and a wonderful future wherever life takes you! ■

HELLO, my name is Bruce Cosseboom This is my second year as the Principal at Fremont Junior High School. I absolutely love the community that I get to serve every day and your amazing kids! I have been in Mesa Public Schools for 17 years with my first six years as a junior high social studies teacher, and the last 11 years as an administrator. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and some of the terrific things that we are doing at Fremont.

Beginning with the next school year, we will be introducing two things to help our students at Fremont achieve even more success. First, we are going to be piloting Project Based Learning (PBL) in some of our classrooms. PBL is great at teaching students to collaborate and to use inquisitive thinking to solve problems. The plan is to have the entire Fremont staff doing PBL within three years.

Our second new program will be training our students on Teacher Clarity, which is making sure our students know what they are supposed to be learning and how they know when they have learned it. Studies show that when students have knowledge of what they are learning and where they are going with it, they do much better in school.

As we add to the already wonderful things we are doing at Fremont, I encourage you to reach out to ask questions and even schedule a tour of our beautiful campus. Our number is 480-472-8300 and my door is always open. I look forward to talking to you about what we can offer your student at Fremont Junior High. ■

Las Sendas Elementary The LSE STEM Institute is an amazing opportunity for 4th—6th graders to explore engineering, robotics, computer sciences, biomedical fields, and communityneeded solutions in an inclusive, equitable, diverse program centered around student learning.

Students participating in the STEM Institute will build portfolios, engage in learning with a community of other STEM learners and be supported through rigorous challenges that will help them grow academically, socially and emotionally. This will prepare students for future success in college and career. ■

STEM INSTITUTE • Authentic student learning opportunities • Community of learners continuing at Fremont Jr High and Red Mountain High School • Hands-on experiences, workshops, collaboration with peers at other campuses to find solutions

MY Las Sendas

HOME

My Las Sendas Home is a new series focusing on updated homes in the community. With most homes in Las Sendas now over two decades old, we hope to encourage, inspire and share ideas for beautiful renovations.

The series will also include videos posted on association social media that will correspond with the home here in Las Sendas Living.

So for a virtual tour and more from the Goforth home (featured below), check out @lassendasarizona on FB and IG.

ALICIA & CHRIS GOFORTH Eagle Feather | Desert Legacy model

“We bought this house knowing that we were going to have to do some remodeling and updating,” Alicia Goforth said, showing off her beautifully renovated Las Sendas home interior. From a brand new staircase to stunning accent walls, the Goforth home has been transformed to truly open-concept living with bright, airy features and organic modern details.

“My favorite part of our home is the sliding back door,” Alicia says. “It opens up the whole backside of the house so that the outside is in and just expands our space. We love it!”

The Goforths have been updating their home little by little since they moved in. And although they knew they would update the kitchen when they bought it, it took several years of living in it to determine the best use of space and configuration. It may not be feasible for everyone, but they stayed in the house during construction, allowing them to be involved in the project on a day-to-day basis. “Our kids thought it was pretty fun eating in our garage,” laughed Alicia. ■

CHOOSING a Contractor If you're thinking about a home renovation, you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. There is no shortage of advice out there, and we all agree planning ahead is extremely important. One of the big decisions you will be making is choosing a contractor. Here are five tips to help you choose wisely and ensure a successful project.

1 | Check the reputation of the contractor before hiring: Always ask for references from other projects and follow-up with each reference. If there is any hesitation on the part of the contractor, he/she is probably not the right person for the job.

2 | Make sure the contractor has the appropriate licenses and bonding: You may be looking for the most cost-effective contractor, but compromising on the contractor’s qualifications can lead to expensive fixes and maintenance down the road.

Ask to see their documentation — if there is any push-back, this is a red-flag.

3 | Ask the contractor if they have experience with the type of project being considered: Adding an outside entertainment area is a very different job than a bathroom, and a renovation

Featured YARD

project that involves a particular building material can be a challenge for someone with no experience.

4 | Make sure the contractor gets permits: Every city and often individual neighborhoods have different permitting regulations.

Work done without proper permits may require tear-down and reconstruction, which can be extremely expensive.

5 | Thoroughly inspect the project: A good way to spot potential defects or shoddy workmanship is to visit the job frequently.

Also, it is often the small details where you will be able to identify the problems that indicate a less-than-thorough renovation. Look for: cracks in the walls and ceiling; doors that don’t easily open or close; plumbing issues such as leaks and condensation; and poor installation of cabinets or fixtures. ■

The Patio & Grille As the weather changes, so does The Patio & Grille at Las Sendas. We are so excited to begin our journey this summer to the start of season next fall. In the coming months, we have quite a bit happening at the golf club. From Mother’s Day to Summer Happy Hour, we hope you’ll join us in the following months.

In May, we are thrilled to announce that with the recent mandates being lifted by the Governor, we will officially be opening up The Vistas Pavilion for our traditional Mother’s Day Brunch Buffet! We will be offering plenty of social distancing with limited availability, a menu that all moms will surely enjoy as well as live music. Call the club and ask for Jolyn to make a reservation today and let the moms in your life know we all love and appreciate them — leave the cooking to us!

Of course in Arizona, the heat comes rather quickly in the summertime, so cool off with our enhanced and extended Happy Hour from 2-7 pm. The new Happy Hour will begin in the

middle of May and will go through the entire summer. If you’ve joined us before, you’ll know we have one of the best views in the valley. If you haven’t joined us, now is the time. We will be offering live entertainment from some of our most favorite musicians through mid-June. At The Patio & Grille, we will also be presenting Summer Nightly Specials on our menu, as we put our new culinary team to the test and see what they can come up with heading into our new season! ■

Meet the CHEFS As previously mentioned, Las Sendas has gained an entirely new culinary team, and we would love to introduce them to you!

Executive Chef Christopher Moreno came to us this past fall and after getting a small taste of what Las Sendas is like, we know he will provide us with class and expertise, and guide his team through a successful year. Chef Christopher comes to us from the Hilton Embassy Suites, where he was the Executive Chef. With 25 years of culinary expertise, he is looking forward to providing Las Sendas members and guests with quality product to help mold a more fine dining experience here at the golf course.

Chef Christopher is joined by Sous Chefs Christopher Miranda and John Stonebeck. Chef Christopher Miranda comes to us from Tucson, Arizona, where he was the Executive Chef at a Mexico City Restaurant – Penca. He is really looking forward to refining and elevating our menu along with creating a more inclusive experience with our guests. He has come to fit right in and without a doubt will leave a lasting impression. Chef John is coming to us from the Lake Tahoe Area where he was with Blue Star Resorts. With his catering and banquet background, he cannot wait to elevate our events and banquets in The Vistas Pavilion.

We hope you’ll stop by, meet our team and take a small piece of Las Sendas home.

For questions/comments or to make a reservation, please give us a call at 480-396-4000.

We are really looking forward to a great summer! ■

“I want to earn your trust and improve your dining experience, while together, we bring a culture of community to our restaurant.”

Watch for more from Chef Christopher in future issues.
