1. Do you donate to the Employee Thank You Fund by bank transfer to a US Bank Account? If so, contact El Studebaker (x ), Residents Council Treasurer, as soon as possible. RC bank accounts are being shifted to Rogue Valley Credit Union, and the US Bank account will be closed. You can donate to the RVCU account or sign up for a charge to your RVM account, but some change will need to be made.

Landscape and Grounds Advisory Committee Minutes of the December 2, 2020 Meeting (via Zoom), Linda Spence, Chair
Old Business 2. Master Plan/Resident Handbook There has been some early work done, but Stan had no specific report. David referred Stan to page 23 of the Resident Handbook that prohibits exterior wall decorations on clapboard siding. These are commonly violated. David stated that requests to clarify the policy have been made with little success. It was suggested that allowing wall decorations in the alcove entry area would be appropriate. Stan said that he would follow through on this issue. There also have been concerns expressed about allowable statues, planters and decor. Sometimes they have been oversized. Specific size limits would be useful.
Rogue Valley Country Club Acknowledgment
Rogue Valley Country Club was recently featured in BoardRoom Magazine, a major industry publication that reaches thousands of clubs worldwide, regarding their community efforts during the Almeda fire crisis. Here is a link to the magazine about their efforts in supporting RVM residents during the evacuation.

The Complement’s compliments
To (in no particular order):
MyRVM and its electronic elves: for substantial improvements – goodness on the wellness page, addresses in the address bar, and a how-to page (next: how to find all the good stuff?)
Sarah Karnatz: for inventing the Wednesday night drinky-winky program. Attawoman! (it may be correct, but somehow it just doesn’t sound as congratulatory)
RVM Administration: for launching an all-campus preparedness development program
Joni Johnson and her interviewees: for showing that it’s not what you talk about but how you do it that matters
Mary Jane Morrison: for keeping the entertainment programs flowing on Channel 900 under challenging conditions.
RVM Staff: for example, Stan tells us they’re stretched thin and workin’ hard, but finding James pruning our garden on Sunday afternoon really brought it home
Mary Bjorkholm and her magic lens: for being the eyes of the world for the shut-ins.
The front desk receptionpersons: for keeping the heart beating no matter how little blood flows
The brown-bag-bearers: for swift completion of their appointed rounds and Pavlovian training – hundreds of people now salivate whenever the doorbell rings
Doorbell rings. Brown Bag appears. Food! (E. Lippman)
Where do the brown bags go? (Sol Blechman)
When eating out means having takeout (Gini Armstrong)
breakfast, dessert, lunch, dessert, dinner, dessert… (pat b)
myRVM and The Complement
At a recent RPG meeting, someone asked if the Preparedness information on The Complement could be posted on myRVM so more people could see it. From our standpoint, the answer is “Certainly!” We are here to benefit the RVM community. If that involves putting out our information through some other pathway, we are happy to do it — although we hope everybody will read The Complement anyway!
By the nature of the internet, anyone with access can link to, copy, or download our material. Because myRVM is a restricted-access site, this may be difficult. However, we will provide on request off-line copies of our material so that it can be posted if desired.
Attribution of source is good practice as well as common courtesy, and is normally not an issue in much preparedness material, since it is usually based on public domain sources. However, an important point — the creative work of individuals that is posted on The Complement, whether written or photographed, should always be properly cited and never used for commercial purposes without their permission
