Roadhaven Community Updates

Welcome Home

Welcome Home for the 2026–2027 Season!

Welcome back to Roadhaven! With swaying palm trees and the beautiful Superstition Mountains as our backdrop, we’re excited to welcome you home for another season of friendship, fun, and laughter.

We've got October events, October birthdays, and so much more packed into this week's newsletter!

Whether you’re enjoying our many amenities, joining your favorite clubs and activities, or catching up with neighbors, we’re so glad you’re here. Thank you for the warmth, kindness, and community spirit you bring to Roadhaven. You make this a special place to call home, and we look forward to making more wonderful memories together!

As you check in for the season, be sure to pick up your 2026–2027 Roadhaven Resident Directory. Inside, you’ll find helpful community information and a Vendor Directory listing advertisers by specialty. We’re grateful to this year’s advertisers, whose advertising paid the full printing cost, allowing us to provide the directory to residents at no charge.

As everyone settles in, please keep these seasonal hours and reminders in mind:

Neighbors Giving Back

Summer Coffee & Donuts

For years, Summer Coffee & Donuts has given Roadhaven neighbors a chance to catch up, share a laugh, and enjoy a little time together each week. It’s run entirely by resident volunteers, and we’re especially grateful to Carol Adamski, who has led the group for many years. Thank you, Carol, and everyone who helps keep this tradition going!

This summer, local sponsors were invited to join in and get to know our year-round residents, adding something new to these familiar gatherings.

The volunteers also chose to give $125 to One Way or Another, a subcommittee of the Finance Committee, to support its work within Roadhaven. Thank you to the Summer Coffee & Donuts volunteers for giving their time and giving back to the community. We appreciate all you do to bring neighbors together!

Activities Office

Hello, Roadhaven!

Tracey Jennings here, welcoming you back for another wonderful season at your oasis of fun!

This year’s upcoming concert series has already received an incredible response, and we have a great mix of events for you to enjoy throughout the season.

On a personal note, I’m also caring for a family member at home, a responsibility many of you may know firsthand. My hours and availability will look a little different moving forward, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as I balance these responsibilities.

The Activities Office is tentatively scheduled to open on December 14, 2026.

All planned events will still take place, and tickets will be available for purchase online.

If you have any questions, please email me at activities@roadhaven.com or reach out to Sarah Lindsay in the Main Office.

Here’s what’s staying the same:

All concerts, events, dances, Music on the Patio, and Coffee Talk events will go on as planned and scheduled.

You can still sign up for events like Organ Stop Pizza and vendor seminars in the Rec Hall. Just keep your eye on the black racks and sign up sheets will appear closer to the event dates.

Here’s what’s changing:

Dances and Event ticket sales, with the exception of Barleens and our annual Cornhole tournament will be sold online only, no at door ticket sales.

Barleens tickets can be purchased in the Main Office starting Monday, Oct. 12.

Dances and Events can be purchased online starting Monday, Oct. 12.

The free ice and water that was previously advertised will not be available but you can still BYOB and use the drinking fountains and the new commercial ice machine on the west side of the Rec Hall.

The Monday Activities at a Glance newsletter will no longer go out on Mondays but will become a section in the weekly Friday Community Newsletter. Please keep your eye out for a digital room rental form in the near future.

I know change can be difficult but luckily these are small changes with big benefits for the community as well.

Thank you for your kindness, grace, and understanding during this time.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Attention:

While Tracey is available to answer questions, the Activities Office is closed and tickets may only be purchased online at roadhaven.com/activities .
