Updated Tennis & Swim Club Schedule and Temporary Use Rules

/in , , /by
As we extend our hours and allow more recreational activities to take place consistent with the state guidance regarding re-opening, we ask our homeowners and club members to guard against complacency. The state and county are encouraging the re-opening of businesses while at the same time warning of the continued need to take appropriate precautions to limit the spread of COVID-19. We welcome back our homeowners and club members while at the same time asking for heightened careful adherence by our homeowners and club members to guidance related to masks, sanitation, and physical distancing. Please don’t just rely on others to be a good example in physical distancing. BE the good example, while at the same time enjoying the recreational and social activities you love here at the Nellie Gail Ranch Tennis and Swim Club. 
 
Recreation Center Hours Extended
 

In an effort to facilitate tennis and swim use by homeowners, club members and contracted user groups, the Recreation Center hours have been extended to 6:00 am – 8:00 pm.

The Nellie Gail Ranch Tennis Club was awarded the 2020 Paddy Speyer’s Perpetual League Champion Trophy. This award goes to the tennis club that has the most teams either at the top or close to the top in their respective divisions. We participate in the Pacific Sun League and there are approximately 2000 women that play in the league throughout Orange County. It is the league’s biggest honor that can go to a club to win this award. All 6 of our teams finished in the top 5 in their divisions! Two placing first and two placing second!

Congratulations and thank you to all of our players and teams for participating and representing Nellie Gail Ranch Tennis Club in the 2019-20 season!

Annual Meeting and Election of Directors and Special Ballot Measure Voting

/in , /by

The Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association Annual Meeting scheduled for June 3, 2020, at 6:30 p.m. did not meet quorum as 586 homeowners were represented by ballot of the required 704. The Annual Meeting will, therefore, be reconvened to Wednesday, June 10, 2020, at 6:30 p.m.

As the quorum requirement drops to 25% (352 ballots) we are assured of reaching quorum and the Inspector of Election will be able to count ballots and conclude the election of three (3) directors and the special ballot measure regarding 24-hour mobile patrol.

Homeowners who have not already done so may continue to submit ballots. If you require a replacement ballot you may e-mail info@ballotboxservices.com to request one.

The following is information to join in the annual meeting June 10th at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom Meeting Link:

If you prefer to come to the Clubhouse at 25281 Empty Saddle Drive to watch the counting of ballots in person you may do so. However, we request you RSVP to admin@nelliegailranch.org in order that we can place chairs an appropriate distance apart.

June 3, 2020 Annual Meeting 6:30 PM

/in , /by
To date, we have received 550 ballots leaving us 154 short of quorum for the June 3rd Annual Meeting. There is still time to mail your ballot today or drop it off at the ballot box in the Clubhouse office at 25211 Empty Saddle Drive. However, since we have exceeded the reconvened quorum requirement of 352 for the June 10, 2020, reconvened annual meeting we are assured of holding the election for directors and the special ballot measure no later than that date. If you require a replacement ballot you may e-mail info@ballotboxservices.com to request one. The following is information to join in the annual meeting June 3rd at which we will likely officially announce the reconvened date assuming we do not receive the required 154 additional ballots by June 3rd at 6:30 p.m. We will e-mail the Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association Members on Thursday, June 4th with an update.
