The recent elec2on to amend the Covenants, Condi2ons and Restric2ons (CC&R)

document for the Summerfield Civic Associa2on was an overwhelming success. With

82% of Proprietary Owners vo2ng in the elec2on, the changes to Sec2on 1.5 SIGNS and

1.9 OCCUPANCY passed with 76.33% and 76.55%, respec2vely, in favor (requirement is

60% in favor to pass). This show of par2cipa2on by the Summerfield community speaks

to the success we enjoy as a thriving 55+ community. A big thank you goes out to

everyone who par2cipated in this effort. Thank you for being informed and for

exercising your right to vote.

The effort to revise and update the CC&Rs document began in September 2015. At the

request of the SCA Board, a commiEee was formed consis2ng of Barbara Stayton, Chair,

Cathy Callahan, Sharon Strain, Ken Miller, Rick Pfeifer and Cari Lindsey, Administrator.

With aEorney guidance, the commiEee members studied each sec2on of the document

looking for ways the document could be changed to beEer reflect the current trends in

our community. The commiEee held Town Hall mee2ngs to gain residents’ reac2ons.

They then made recommenda2ons to the SCA Board to make changes in four sec2ons

of the document along with ‘housekeeping’ items such as spelling errors, typos,

punctua2on, and minor correc2ons in language. Vo2ng took place during September

2016. The vo2ng turnout was only 65% and only two items passed – Sec2on 2.3.2 Due

Date and Late Payment Date (raising the late fee) and the ‘housekeeping’ clean-up.

ANer the new document was recorded with the county, all residents received a copy of

the Amended and Restated CC&Rs.

Con�nued on page 2

President’s Message LIVING

Spring is just around the corner, finally bringing

much needed color to an otherwise gray and

brown landscape. Except in our case, we have all

the wonderful green of the golf course. But I did

hear a bleak comment the other day that has

stuck with me and I will share it with you, along

with a couple of thoughts. The comment was

“you know….we moved to Summerfield to die”.

ANer some pondering it occurred to me that we

also move to Summerfield to live, and to live well.

To live well in the sense of being part of a

community, par2cipa2ng in everything from golf,

tennis, and pickleball to card games, garden and

travel clubs, dancing, exercise, yoga, and you

name it……we probably have a club for it. Of

course our bodies and minds are showing the

wear and tear of the living years, but as long as

we can, and however we can….we keep moving,

keep living.

NOMINATIONS

It’s that 2me of year to start thinking about the

2018/2019 SCA Board. Two current members

will be leaving at the end of their terms which

will leave two posi2ons to be filled. PLEASE,

especially all you non-golfers, think very seriously

of geXng involved, don’t automa2cally say NO if

the Nomina2ng CommiEee contacts you and tells

you that you have been nominated as a

candidate for the SCA Board. Par2cipa2on and

volunteering 2me and energy is an important key

to the health of our community.

....if you think you are too small to make a

difference, you haven’t spent a night with a

mosquito.—African Proverb

Her name is Linda Wright and her phone number is

503.750.2947 (please update your Summerfield Directory).

She passed her job interview with flying colors and was voted

in by the Board of Directors on Monday, February 12th

. We

now have another wonderful volunteer for our community!

Submi/ed by Martha Ambler, Past Commi/ee Chair

With the first round of vo2ng completed, there were s2ll two

sec2ons of the CC&R document that contained language that

were not legally enforceable – Sec2on 1.5 SIGNS and Sec2on

1.9 OCCUPANCY. In March 2017, a second commiEee was

formed consis2ng of Barbara Stayton, Chair, Ellen Schiess,

Ruthanne Lidman, Diane Christensen, Linda Gray and Cari

Lindsey, SCA Administrator. The commiEee provided monthly

newsleEer updates, held Town Hall mee2ngs and u2lized

Survey Monkey to determine how residents felt about

Occupancy and Poli2cal Signs. The commiEee also examined

the vo2ng process and decided to make the vo2ng coincide

with the payment of the SCA Annual assessment. The

dedicated residents who served on these two commiEees

deserve a thank you for their 2me and effort on this project!

THANK YOU!

This 2-year effort has resulted in a Restated and Amended

CC&R Document with one Amendment. It reflects the wishes

of our community. As soon as the final tally is verified by the

required Inspectors of Elec2on and our aEorney, the

Amendment will be recorded with Washington County. Each

residence will receive a copy of the Amendment in the mail

and it will be posted in the Clubhouse and on our website.

determine just how much actual storage space is available.

The Clubhouse CommiEee is asking all Clubs, CommiEees

and Ac2vi2es Groups to purge and organize the supplies

they now have in storage by April 30th. In May, the

Clubhouse CommiEee will inspect and evaluate the amount

Library Donations A hearty THANK YOU to our patrons and those who

generously donate books to our library; it’s a special way

our community can share with one another. Due to our

limited shelf space, however, we must ask that donated

books have a copyright date no older than 2009. (The

Friends of the Tigard Library do accept some older books

for their book sales.)

Also, we are expanding our books on CD and movies on

DVD, so we are no longer shelving or accep2ng books on

ANer taking a vote, the opinion of our dedicated learners (and

ours) was that two weeks of Black Holes was more than

enough. Therefore, we have decided that in March we will

enter the realm of “Museum Masters: The Louvre”!

The name “Louvre” is instantly recognizable as the most

famous art museum in the world. Its collec2ons number in the

millions. The Louvre, once a palace, opened as an art museum

aNer the French Revolu2on in 1789. Our esteemed lecturer,

Professor Richard BriEell, will help us to navigate and survey

just a small por2on of this vast museum’s collec2ons and then

he will concentrate on the art of Leonardo DeVinci through

Delacroix.

Those of you who have experienced the joy of visi2ng even a

small por2on of this great museum will recall fond memories

and for others it will wet your appe2te for a visit or further

study.

Please join us every Thursday, at 2:00 PM in the Lakeview

Room. Looking forward to learning with you. For further

SCA Board of Director Qualities If you know qualified residents that have a mix of some of the following traits and skills, consider nomina2ng them!

♦ Respect. If you can give others respect and expect it in return, you can help keep Board discussions civil and

produc2ve. We’re looking for people who can lead by consensus, not by command.

♦ Good listening. People want to be heard. Can you listen to Board members and residents with sincere interest?

You may have a few ideas of your own, but everyone benefits by sharing and discussing.

♦ Thick skin. Some2mes, residents—even other Board members—can be mean and insul2ng. Are you good at

turning a conversa2on around and finding out what’s really bothering people?

♦ Ego aside. If you can give others credit, the Board will operate beEer as a team.

♦ Agenda aside. Members who come to the Board looking to help only themselves are a problem. A board is more

produc2ve when members don’t have a personal punch list. Are you able to look aNer the community, not just

your own interests? Are you willing to compromise?

♦ Skill. An associa2on is a business. So having Board members with accoun2ng, construc2on, organiza2onal

behavior and teambuilding backgrounds can help.

♦ Time. There are a few required mee2ngs per month, plus assistance with CommiEees, special projects and

educa2onal opportuni2es. You must be ready to say ‘yes’ when asked to help.

The ideal Board comprises a mix of management styles, professional skills and temperaments. Candidates don’t have

to know everything, but they must be familiar with the SCA governing documents and the responsibili2es of the job.

Nomina2on forms can be found on our website at www.summerfield55.org, About Us, Board of Directors or paper

copies available from the SCA Office. Nomina2ons are due by Monday, April 2nd

.

There is an appointed 2me for everything…….

A 2me to plant and a 2me to uproot what is

planted.

As we walk or drive through Summerfield it is

very easy to be impressed with the appear-

ance of the houses and the landscaping of the

yards. With spring just around the corner,

tulips, daffodils, crocus and other blooming

plants add to the beauty of our lovely commu-

nity. As we admire that beauty we need to

remind ourselves that it may be 2me to spray

or pull those annoying weeds that shoot up in

flower beds, lawns, sidewalks and even the

cracks in the streets. Let’s not overlook the

need to prune that overgrown plant.

Speaking of reminders, daylight savings 2me

is almost here and is a perfect opportunity to

do some necessary maintenance checks such

as:

• Smoke detector baEeries

• Furnace filters

• Outdoor lamp post bulbs

It's not too late to get in shape for summer golf, swimming, pickleball and

all the other summer ac2vi2es. Tai Chi and Qi Gong are just the classes for

flexibility and balance. Although these classes are gentle, your body will

benefit greatly. These classes are held at 8:00 AM every Monday,

Wednesday and Friday. Our teachers are professionals via DVDs.

At 8:30 AM on the same days, several of us stay for floor work, stretching

and gaining strength with Yoga. Again, you only do what your body allows

you to do. Never compare your moves to others in the class. For more
