Health Fair Set for March 16
Do yourself – and your body – a favor
by attending this year’s Green Valley
Health Fair from 8 a.m.-Noon on Monday,
March 16 at the West Center. Health care
providers will be providing a variety of free
screenings for vision, pulmonary, diabetes,
cholesterol, foot care, hearing, bone density, cancer, Body Mass Index, and balance.
Last year we had 1,500 attendees participate in this free community event.
Check out the new 2015 Senior
Games participant t-shirt designed
by Jim Fitzgerald, which was the
winner in our design contest. Jim’s
bold and bright design features the

which was voted the winner in our
t-shirt design contest that was held
after last year’s games.

history of GVR, our 13
centers (major and satellite)
were created primarily by a
“one-off ” approach to development. In other words,
within the diverse neighborhoods of Green Valley,
every boat was on its own
bottom (so to speak), and
through agreements with
residential developers who
knew what it took to sell
homes, recreation and
social centers were built in
collaboration with GVR
based on the needs and
interests of a neighborhood
at that time, with little or
no master planning based
upon needs and interests
over time.
As GVR’s Planning and
Evaluation Committee
(P&E) knows all too well,
we come face-to-face with
the reality of GVR’s constrained and aging facilities
each year when beset with
numerous requests for
additional space and amenities as part of our budget
development process.
Requests come from individual members as well as
from sport and craft clubs
that are assigned designated
space throughout our facilities infrastructure.
If the ‘every boat on its
own bottom’ analogy lacks
an integrated approach to
planning as well as creativity and imagination, then
let’s add some fun and a
little humor by trying to
make logical sense of Mr.
and Mrs. Potato Head™.
Either as a child, parent,
or grandparent, we have all
likely played with this toy
resulting in potato heads
well suited for a Stephen
King novel. Continuing
a Mr. and Mrs. Potato
Head™ approach to facility use and development
is not responsible. We
need to consider our GVR
community as a whole and
with the future in mind if
we hope to effectively care
for and maximize use of
our constrained and aging
facilities. So, what are we
doing about it? – Something wise, thoughtful, and
inclusive.
Sprung from advice from
the 2014 P&E Committee,
the GVR Board authorized
an ambitious project beginning in 2015 designed
to spread a strategic master
planning blanket around
all GVR facilities and
programs. This effort will
address current deficiencies and projected growth,
and result in options to
enhance, expand, develop,
and if need be, repurpose
facilities to meet members’
needs and interests for
today and in the future. To
move the project ahead, a
Facilities Assessment Work
Group (FAWG) was established, comprised of several
GVR members and staff
who have experience in
space and functional planning, engineering, facilities
management, program
management, and building
construction.
FAWG worked hard
to prepare a Request for
Proposal (RFP) to select a
professional architectural
/ engineering / planning /
firm to ultimately “develop
a comprehensive guiding
document that will serve as
a strategic master planning
tool for all GVR properties.” The strategic master
plan will help drive our
organization for the next
five to 10 years, with the
defined goal of creating a
vision for the Corporation
that will best meet the
needs and interests of our
23,450+ members.
A major component of
the RFP is to select a firm
that not only has the right
background and experience, timeline and budget, but also compelling
experience to effectively
engage GVR members in
Town Hall meetings to
solicit their input. This is
essential given the diverse
3
Kent’s Corner (cont. from page 1)
Members of the Facilities Assessment Work Group evaluate proposals from firms to develop a long range strategic master plan for GVR’s facilities.
stakeholders within the
membership of our GVR
community. Upon receipt
of the proposals, FAWG
will review and evaluate,
select the favored firm, and
recommend their selection
to the GVR Planning &
Evaluation Committee for
submission and approval
by GVR Board of Directors. Selection of the firm
to implement the project is
expected in March 2015.
The entire project may
take up to 18 months to
complete.
We will need everyone’s
input and participation
during this 18-month
strategic master planning
process. Let’s make sense
of Mr. and Mrs. Potato
Head™ by being together
in one very diverse boat
and help create a vision for
the future of GVR facilities
that best meets the needs
and interests of all of our
members, now and in the
future.

•CEO Report
CEO Blumenthal updated the board on activities
that occurred since publication of the CEO report on
January 23:
Immediately prior to the Board meeting, Blumenthal
was informed that GVR lost the appeal of the denied
insurance claim for the North Abrego pool. Blumenthal suggested that the North Abrego pool issue be
forwarded to the Planning &Evaluation Committee
for their review and recommendation on how best to
proceed.
Directors suggested that CEO Blumenthal review
insurance coverages/policies for GVR pools and present
a cost benefit analysis to the Board.
CEO Blumenthal was informed that a proposed
agreement containing terms negotiated with Verizon
wireless for a cell tower in West center parking lot
would be forthcoming within a few days.
An online survey of residents of six HOA’s that
would be affected by the proposed GVR boundary
modification that is under consideration was launched
on January 27. Expanded use of online surveying for
other GVR member purposes is expected.
The Directors commended Member Services Supervisor Maureen McCarthy for her efforts organizing the
second annual GVR Fit ‘N Fun Day held on Sunday,
January 25, 2015.

Get to Know…
Blaine NIsson, Vice President GVR Board of Directors
Blaine Nisson, whose term on the board expires this month,
discovered Green Valley in 2000 almost by accident. While visiting
Tucson to plan a national conference for community colleges,
Blaine fell in love with Southern Arizona. So he and his wife, Beverly, searched for a retirement home in Tucson, but didn’t like all
the traffic. Their realtor suggested looking at Green Valley, with its
slower pace and recreational facilities to support their active lifestyles. A year later,
they purchased a home here.
“We absolutely love it here and all that GVR offers us,” says Blaine. “We belong
to the Hiking and Camera Clubs, and enjoy playing pickleball. We try to remain
active and give back to the community.”
Blaine retired in 2010 after 38 years of working as a community college administrator and serving as president of Umpqua Community College in Roseburg,
Ore. He and his wife now spend winters here, and summers at their Anderson
Island, Wash., residence.

Adopt-A-Highway Pickup March 7
When GVR member Gene VanDyken says business is picking up,
he means it. Since 2009, Gene and
his band of volunteers have cleared
trash from stretches of I-19 in Green
Valley, filling over 1,200 garbage
bags of litter.
Now, Gene and his litter patrol
buddies have joined forces with
GVR and the state Adopt-A-Highway program to “adopt” three sections along I-19 and a small stretch
along East Frontage Rd.
“We meet every Tuesday morning
at the Chevron Station to cover the
highway from Duval Mine Rd. to
the Canoa Ranch exit,” says Gene.

Club Member Profile
Computer Club’s Kathy Frey
Kathy Frey’s interest in computers dates back to the 1980s, when
IBM ruled as a blue chip stock and
an apple was a fruit that grew on
trees. As the ﬁrst woman member
of the GVR Computer Club when
it formed in 1989, Kathy has seen
dramatic changes in personal computing over the past three decades,
and has helped keep members
abreast of new technology.
Self-taught in many ways, Kathy
says she did a lot of hand coding
for web pages in the early years,
and had to learn how to write HTML
code. After she ﬁgured it out, Kathy
put the Computer Club on the
“World Wide Web,” and served as
webmaster for 20 years along with
serving on every club committee.
As technology and operating systems evolved, so did Kathy’s skills.
She took classes and researched
new software and OS systems to
be able to assist club members and
students. She keeps abreast of the
latest technology, and has taught
classes on DOS, Windows 3.1
through Windows 8.1.1, how to use
the internet and e-mail, MS Works,
HTML and a joint class with Robby
Robinson on AOL. If she can’t assist
over the phone, Kathy is often
the “Geek Squad,” going out to a
member’s home to trouble-shoot a
computer problem.
Kathy recently was honored by
the Association of Technology &
Two lunch buffets for $10.99
at our Sahuarita location
Computer User Group for her volunteer efforts. She was the runner up
for the recipient of its 2015 Volunteer of the Year Award. Computer
Club members nominated Kathy
for the award to recognize her
contributions to the club. Congratulations, Kathy! The Computer Club
is very fortunate to have you as a
valuable, contributing member!
The Computer Club is one of
GVR’s largest with dedicated space
at the Santa Rita Springs Center.
The computer lab is furnished with
the latest PCs and Apple Macs for
club members to use. On a recent
visit, one member was busy using
the computer equipment to scan
historical family slides to digitize
them for preservation. What a great
resource at GVR!

a month we assist the VA Hospital Blind Rehabilitation Center by escorting sight
challenged Veterans on various outings. And we always have fun. We’d love to have
your help. If you’re interested, give us a call or stop by the Lodge ofﬁce.
