Patti Smith
The 2025 Robson Ranch Olympics wrapped up with an awards luncheon on Oct. 24. There are so many people to thank for making the Olympics such a big success. I want to start by thanking all the residents who participated in the various events. Of course, we must give a big shout-out to all the coordinators who made the events run so smoothly, as well as members of Patrol who helped make sure all the walk participants stayed safe on the roads. Thanks, too, to all the Living Well Committee members, Rhett, and the entire HOA staff. A very special thanks to Debbie Dodge who kept us all on track.
I mentioned last month that winners would be announced in the next issue of the Pioneer Press. Drum roll, please!

Happy Holidays to all!
