Happy Holidays! I wanted to wish everyone at Scottsdale
Shadows a very happy and safe holiday season. One of the
best parts about living in Arizona is that our winters are filled
with amazing weather. If you are a golfer it gets even better;
while must golf courses close down for the winter. Arizona’s
golf courses are in full bloom, so to speak.
Landscaping has done an amazing job with the golf course!
Many residents have commented on how lush the grass looks.
Whether you like to golf or not, take some time to enjoy the
scenery. It is amazing how peaceful it is to walk on the golf
course, just a few feet away from the street.
As we come to the end of the year I have recapped the capital
improvement projects that took place in 2016. The budget for
2017 has been approved by the RCI Board. For another con-
secutive year RCI has not increased assessments to the Re-
gimes. At the same time, RCI has managed to increase the
amount of funds going into the Reserve Fund. In turn, all the
capital improvements have not required a special assessment
to be assessed to the Regimes to fund these projects.
Capital Improvements
Over the course of the year RCI completed numerous projects
to enhance the aesthetics and resale value of the community.
1. Lower Lake Project - The lake is located behind buildings
23, 26, & 27. Decades of mud were removed from the
lake, once it was drained. The concrete was so brittle that
the contractor had to suck the mud out of the lake. This
time around a thick layer of concrete was placed to line the
lake. As a finishing touch RCI added two aerator/fountains
with lights.

2. Pool 3 had multiple changes this year. The
deck was resurfaced, new wider drains
were installed, dome panels were replaced
and finally the chairs were reupholstered
and new umbrellas were purchased. I want
to thank the Beautification Committee for
their vision in adding color to the pool.
3. Pool 2’s revamped design is still in the
works. The work was delayed until early
next year in order to minimize the disruption
to residents. In the meantime, new furniture
was purchased as well as some very ele-
gant red umbrellas. I want to thank the
Beautification Committee again for making
this change possible.
4. Pool 1’s improvements included re-
upholstering the chaise/chairs to a light blue
fabric and buying new umbrellas. Mainte-
nance will also be painting an accent wall in
the Jacuzzi room.
5. The next item was new flooring in the com-
mon area rooms: Pima/Cholla/Saguaro/
Library & Garden rooms, kitchen, and finally
the Regime Office. Tile replaced the carpet
in many of the rooms with the exception of
the Library which got new carpet. Next,
Maintenance painted the same color
scheme in all the rooms and in the Lounge
as was suggested by the Beatification Com-
mittee. Along the way, termites were dis-
covered in the divider in the Cholla/Saguaro
room. The divider was removed and a pro-
fessional company came out to treat the en-
tire building for termites. Maintenance did
end up replacing a window frame in the
Navajo Room (Billiards Room).
Insurance
It is in the best interest of you, the home owner,
to obtain home owner’s insurance or renter’s
insurance to protect items outside of the scope
of coverage by your association. Make sure to
sit down with your insurance agent and get the
correct amount of coverage. Your association
has provided an easy to read matrix that ex-
plains what is the responsibility to insure by the
association and by the owner. This can be
found on the community web page scotts-
daleshadows.org. The deductible will range
from $10,000 to $25,000. Please talk to your
Board for more information.
In Conclusion
All Regimes (association) meetings will com-
mence after the holidays. Please take the time
to consider volunteering on your board. How-
ever, if you feel that you are not ready to serve
on the board, please take the time to read the
candidate information and return your ballot.
Your vote is your number one responsibility
and right as a co-owner in your community.
If you have not already signed up for the Holi-
day Dinner, please do so. We had over 100
people at the Thanksgiving Dinner and the
Menu for the Holiday Dinner will be just as
good. They will have plenty of Cheesecake
too!!! The party will be in the Lounge on
December 17. Look inside this newsletter for
more information.

Leo Kagan was born in November 1916 in Ozone Park, New York, where he
grew up. In 1936 he left New York to attend Iowa State Teachers College (now
known as University of Northern Iowa) on a full football scholarship. After grad-
uating in 1940, Leo headed back to New York with plans of being a teacher. In-
stead he joined Uncle Sam and went into the Army … after 5 years in the Army
he returned to New York, having given up his dream of teaching. Leo went into
Sales and Marketing. He worked at Bendix in New York where he was to meet
his wife … Leo and Mabel were married for 63 years before Mabel passed away
in March of 2011. He moved the family to Philadelphia in 1952 and worked for
Elco Electronics. Later he moved into the automotive aftermarket business and
worked for Hurst Performance Products, American Racing Equipment (which
took he and his family to Northern California) and Amco. Leo continues to work
as a Senior Sales Consultant for Robbins Auto Tops and spends his days mak-
ing calls to customers. Leo and Mabel became owners in Building 30 since the
summer of 1994 and became fulltime residents in December of 2010. Many
of you have seen him doing his walks around the Shadows. Leo has three chil-
dren and three grandchildren.
Happy Birthday Leo, from your friends here at Scottsdale
Shadows, you are ALWAYS a pleasure to be around.
