RESIDENT NEWSLETTER
PUBLISHED ON FRI. OCTOBER 17, 2025
There’s plenty heating up around Roadhaven! The Golf Shop and course are preparing to open, volunteer opportunities are on the rise including Coffee Talk, Bingo, and the Roadhaven Church A/V Team is looking for helping hands. Dear Roadie also returns this month all fired up for Fall and here to keep the facts straight and the feathers neatly preened. Keep reading for all the details.
Feeling Under the Weather? Please Stay Home
As the weather changes, cold and flu season often follows. To help keep everyone healthy, please stay home if you’re not feeling well.
If you need assistance from the Main Office, you can call or email us instead of coming in person. This small step helps protect our staff and neighbors from spreading illness.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our community healthy!
Volunteer Opportunities
Roadhaven needs volunteers!
If you’re looking to get involved, here are some ways to help.

Pati will also share more at the November Town Hall.
Bingo Volunteers
Monday night bingo volunteers are needed. Reach out to Pati for more information.Â
Coffee Talk Volunteers
Tuesdays, 6AM–9AM
Five volunteers are needed each week to make coffee, pick up donuts, set up tables and chairs in the Rec Hall, clean tables afterward, take out trash, and wash and store the coffee containers as directed.
Roadhaven Church A/V Team
Do you have experience with PowerPoint and an interest in helping behind the scenes during Sunday services? The Roadhaven Church A/V Team is looking for volunteers to join their friendly group.
Team members take turns running the audio and visual booth on Sunday mornings. Tasks include preparing and running PowerPoint slides, assisting with simple setup, and ensuring everything runs smoothly during the service.
No advanced technical skills are required, just a willingness to learn, attention to detail, and a heart to serve. Training is provided, and volunteers rotate Sundays.

Hey Roadies!
It’s your pal Dear Roadie here, swooping in with a little reminder, the truth doesn’t need wings to fly, but gossip sure seems to grow its own feathers! If you want the real story, come to committee or board meetings, ask your questions in person, or check those weekly newsletters. And if you still can’t find what you’re looking for, you know where to find me at roadhaven.com/roadie.
Help Keep Roadhaven Clean and Avoid Extra Fees
When dumpsters are overfilled, it creates safety risks for the drivers and causes unpleasant odors and mess around the community. It also results in an excess waste fee from the trash company on top of our regular services cost.Â
Here’s How Everyone Can Help
- Don’t overfill dumpsters. If the trash is getting close to the top, please find another dumpster or wait until it’s emptied. Lids must close all the way.
- Don’t leave trash on the ground or on top of a closed dumpster. This also causes fees.
- Flatten cardboard boxes before putting them in.
- No hazardous waste! That means no oil, paint, batteries, liquids, or building materials.
Recycling Made Easy – The Big 5
Only these five things can go into recycling bins:
- Aluminum – Clean cans, trays, and foil.
Â
- Paper – Newspapers, junk mail, magazines, and plain paper.
Â
- Plastic Bottles and Jugs – Clean and empty containers marked #1–7.
Â
- Cardboard – Clean, flattened boxes and cartons.
Â
- Tin – Clean cans like soup or veggie cans (please rinse before recycling).
Â
Glass does NOT go in recycling. Please throw glass items in the trash.
Let’s Work Together
If you see someone putting the wrong items in the dumpsters, please tell property management. Following these rules helps keep Roadhaven clean, saves money, and makes our community a nicer place for everyone.
