President’s Message
As your newly elected SCA Board President, I
would like to thank the retiring Board members
Avonelle Barton and Jerry Durgan for their very
productive 3 years. During their time in office,
the golf course irrigation system was installed,
the Clubhouse was renovated, a new Golf
Professional was hired and the first phase of
the east end landscape project was completed.
That was a very significant number of
accomplishments.
I would also like to welcome our new Board
Members, Leigh Wilcox and Rod Sacconaghi. I
am sure they will be a great addition to the
Board. At our meeting next month, we will be
developing a “bucket list” of issues/projects
that we would like to address in the coming
year. If anyone would like to add something to
our “bucket list,” put your written request in an
envelope, mark it “bucket list” and drop it in
the mail slot in the office. In the next 2
months, we will prioritize the bucket list and
start working on those with the highest
priority.
Again I’d like to welcome our new Golf
Professional, Rob Lindsey. Rob has stocked the
golf shop with some very nice Summerfield
logo shirts and jackets which we all should be
proud to wear, even if you are not a golfer. If
you like living here and would be proud to let
your friends and others know, stop in to the
golf shop and check out Rob’s selections. The
Board, with Rob’s support, is encouraging
outside public play at our lovely golf course as
an effort to keep our membership rates at a
reasonable level. If you have friends who are
golfers, encourage them to visit us and
experience our fun course.

We had 70 people attending our first dance of
2011! Yeah! Thank you to the Trawicks who
announced the event last Thursday at the Elsie
Stuhr dance. The great music of the Swing Street
Glenn Tadina Quartet had us on our feet dancing
most of the evening. They also played song
requests from our guests. We planned two mixers
to be sure our single ladies had a chance to
dance. Also, ladies were happy to have two male
instructors, Paris Guffey and Steve Stowell from
The Ballroom Dance Company in Tigard, to dance
with them. They are planning to be at the next
two dances as well. I want to thank all of the
people from the Dance Club who volunteered to
set up and take down. That was a tremendous
help, and volunteerism is what makes Summerfield
Clubs successful! Hope to see more of you for our
Sadie Hawkins dance on September 17th
!

Directors Reports
Barton – Clubhouse Committee: The Club-
house Committee is assigned the job of keep-
ing abreast of what needs to be done and
taking care of it themselves or for larger
jobs getting bids and submitting them to
the Board for approval. This year the com-
mittee has been chaired by Barbara Lance
and she has done an admirable job. This
past year a Clubhouse Sub-Committee was
formed for the specific purpose of the
renovation of the Clubhouse. Please give
recognition to the following residents for a
job very well done: Joyce Astrup, lead
member; Wendy Pfeifer, Chris Harris, Dave
Rhodes; and when Dave went south, Dick
Van Dyke. Thank you to all!
Durgan – Liaison for Common Area Land-
scape Team: The Summerfield Common
Area Landscape Team consists of Georgina
Allen, Paul Ochs, Bob Van Vlack and Sharon
Hughes. The team has the responsibility of
all landscaping not associated with the golf
course or the regular Landscape Commit-
tee. They have designed and installed
areas such as the flower garden on High-
land Drive at the 8th tee box, the entrance
to Summerfield at 104th Street, and at our
own Clubhouse. If you missed any of these,
you certainly cannot miss what has been
done at the east end of our Clubhouse.
Thank you team.
Kerns – Liaison for the Newcomers Com-
mittee, Directory, Fair Housing, Clubs: For
the Newcomers Welcome Committee,
thank you very much to Chair Susan Van
Lente. The Committee hosts three meet-
ings a year for our new residents. They also
deliver Information Packets about Summer-
field to all new residents prior to the wel-
come receptions. Special thanks to Mary
Shute who arranged the refreshments at
the receptions.
For the Directory, work begins in August
and September in order to finish prior to
early November. Directories are distrib-
uted at the time residents pay their yearly
fees. We began collecting e-mail addresses
for the Summerfield office use last year and
will continue doing that this year. At
some point residents may be asked if they
want their e-mail printed in the directory
but we will not print those addresses with-
out written permission.
Fair Housing: Just a reminder that the of-
fice is required to maintain accurate age
verification of our residents in order to
maintain our age 55+ designation.
Clubs: There are so many clubs in Sum-
merfield that I always tell people that if
you are bored living here, it is your own
fault. Several of the clubs are eager to
have new members join. One of the
exciting things that happened this year
revolves around the activities of the
Social Club, whose main function is to
encourage new activities and events to
form and get underway.
Nottingham – Liaison for Marshals
Committee, Greens Committee, Pro
Shop: Again this year, we enjoy one of
the best maintained golf courses in the
Portland area thanks to the great work
of Rick Sullivan and his crew. Ray
DeLuca, Chairman of the Greens Com-
mittee, and his members have contin-
ued their work with Rick Sullivan to
ensure the high quality on the course.
Many thanks to our Marshals and Start-
ers for their outstanding performance
during the last year. The Marshals have
been led by Larry Launder and the
Starters by Roy Love. On March 1st
, Rob
Lindsey became the Golf Professional
for our Golf Pro Shop. We have all en-
joyed our association with Rob and we
appreciate all of his efforts.
Pfeifer – Liaison for the Landscape
Committee & Tennis Committee: The
Landscape Committee, currently under
the chairmanship of Art Krueger, is
made up of 6-7 volunteers who review
all Landscape Change Requests for com-
pliance with the Landscape Manual. In
the past year, this committee has
cleared 129 Change Requests. Compli-
ance with our governing documents,
including the Landscape Manual, is
what makes Summerfield as beautiful
as it is. Thank you to the Landscape
Committee. The Landscape Committee
would like to thank all residents for
their concern and compliance.
For Tennis Committee, thanks to the
tennis players for their dedication to
the game and self- management style.
Thiemann – Liaison for Architectural
Committee & Swimming Pool Commit-
tee: During the 2010-2011 fiscal year,
the Architectural Committee of six
Continued on Page 7
AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011
members serviced 175 Change Requests, consisting of 199 projects.
Most notable included 34 house paintings and sidings, 17 patio decks
and covers, 17 roofs, 18 fences, 18 windows and doors, 10 driveways
and walkways and many other miscellaneous projects. Another nota-
ble accomplishment was the installation of two new community
benches. The Architectural Committee wants to thank all the resi-
dents for their cooperation regarding changes to homes. The entire
Architectural Committee deserves a special thank you for their dedi-
cated work towards the maintenance of our community.
The Swimming Pool Committee information was provided by volunteer
Dolores Tate, who graciously stayed on for another term as Chair. For
May through October 2010, 4,466 people used the swimming pool.
Please note that there is now an emergency telephone out by the
swimming pool, with a direct connect to 911 only. Also, the SCA Board
approved the installation of an automated chemical feeding and moni-
toring system. It will improve the pool water conditions and reduce
the number of times per day for volunteer manual testing. Finally, a
special thank you to all of the Swimming Pool Committee members for
their dedicated work.
Vogel – Liaison for Neighborhood Watch, Marketing & Communica-
tions & Summary: The Neighborhood Watch program is chaired by
Diana Poorman. Diana is the coordinator of this volunteer group
which was started several years ago to increase security on our
neighborhood blocks and within our homes. With the help of approxi-
mately 14 Area Coordinators and 77 Block Captains, Diana has trained
coordinators and updated a listing of 1078 households. This fall,
Neighborhood Watch will sponsor informative meetings for all resi-
dents on fire prevention and earthquake preparedness.
The Summary: It has been almost one year since volunteer Sharon
Hughes turned over the compilation and editing of the Summary to
Cari Froeber, our Administrator. Cari says it is a big task, but she really
enjoys doing it. Thanks go to each Committee and Club that contrib-
utes articles and information. Special thanks to our amazing delivery
manager, Lela Thompson, for organizing the hand delivery each month
and to the dozens of residents that make deliveries.
The very active Marketing & Communications Committee is chaired by
Leigh Wilcox. The committee developed a marketing plan that has an
overall goal to increase public awareness of Summerfield and our ex-
cellent golf course. Subcommittee work has focused on the recent
successful Summerfield Showcase open house, a golf course advertis-
ing plan, website re-development and improved signage. Special
thanks to Roy Love who chaired the open house subcommittee and
Diana Miller and Ken Miller, who co-chaired the event. Thanks also to
Rob Lindsey for his golf course marketing efforts, Ron Stark for the
website improvement efforts and Dick Fleming on the signage efforts.
Administrator Report: Summerfield is so lucky to have such a dedi-
cated Board of Directors. Please take the time to thank a Board Mem-
ber. Our two outgoing Board Members, Jerry & Avonelle, have been
amazing, strong contributors to the success of this association and I
thank them both. We’ve done a million things in the last year, but the
five that stand out the most for me include taking over the editing of
the Summary, the upstairs Renovation, the search for our new Golf
Pro, the Summerfield Showcase event and the east side landscaping

Architectural Committee Times-a-waste-n. The good weather construction
season to complete home repair and maintenance
projects is half over. It seems as if summer had just
begun and already we are hearing back to school
ads.
When planning a project, reading the dos and
don’ts in the Architectural Manual and also
following the instructions on the Change Request
Form itself can speed up approval to proceed.
Committee members volunteer to help you adhere
to Summerfield Civic Association Conditions and
Restrictions that apply to your projects.
Please welcome two new volunteers,
Leslie Casey and Ken Rose.
Submitted by your
Architectural Committee
Annual Meeting, Cont. project. Thank you to everybody that helped with those unique
projects. As always, thank you to our team of employees here.
Since we have such a small paid staff, we really run on volunteers
and I thank each Committee member, Club and activity that sup-
ports this organization. If you’re even thinking about volunteering,
but not sure how you can contribute, please give me or a Board
member the opportunity to talk to you about ideas and needs.
Thank you Garden Club for the beautiful floral arrangements and for
helping with the refreshments. There are so many behind-the-
scenes people who do so much of the dirty work, from the residents
who pick up dog poop that didn’t come from their dog, the resi-
dents who cleaned the graffiti off their neighbors wall, the neighbor
who pulled the weeds from the vacant lot next to them, the resi-
dents who get on their hands and knees and help with the carpet
stains…thank you. It is very rewarding to serve this community,
though some days can be more challenging than others, but I do
want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Presentation of New Officers: The Board of Directors adjourned
during the Administrator Report to elect new officers. Upon their
return, President Durgan announced the new officers of the 2011 –
2012 Board: Rick Pfeifer – President; Mary Kerns – Vice President;
Bob Nottingham – Treasurer.
The gavel was passed to the new President, Rick Pfeifer, along with
the spare set of office keys. Rick thanked Jerry and Avonelle for
their three years of service and summarized their accomplishments
over the past three years. Jerry & Avonelle were each presented a
thank you card.
Meeting adjourned at 7:50 PM and refreshments were served.
AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011AUGUST 2011
The Clubhouse is available for Summerfield
residents’ private parties (birthdays, anniversaries,
etc.). We offer a very reasonable usage fee of just
$2 per non-Summerfield person (plus a refundable
deposit if you leave the facilities clean and
everything back in place). The exception to the $2
per non-Summerfield person fee is for memorial
services of current Summerfield residents. The first
thing to do is to call Sharon Wilcox from the
Clubhouse Committee to see if your requested date
is available. She is the Calendar Coordinator and is
the only person who readily knows if space is
available. Pick up a Summerfield Clubhouse Use
Application from the Clubhouse lobby or on-
line. Read it, fill in the information, sign the back
and return two copies to the Clubhouse office (slide
it into the mail slot if the office is closed) with your
check for the required fees. If there are two
inquiries for the same date, the first application and
check received secures the date. A copy of your
application will be returned to you, signed by Sharon
and marked “Posted.” Keep this for your records – if

Summerfield Book Club The Summerfield Book Club will meet on Tuesday, August 9
th at 2:00 PM in the Clubhouse Conference
Room to review the biography, Shakespeare: The World as Stage by Bill Bryson. Betty Brader will present
the background of the author and lead the group discussion. All Summerfield residents are welcome!
As one reader writes, this is a “good little read.” The book is a synthesis of everything you wanted to know
about Shakespeare (the few facts that are available) - a 196 page book that doesn’t leave out anything
essential. One could say that, instead of a biography, a history lesson is offered that disproves many of the
myths about Shakespeare’s life while offering a witty account of the times in which Shakespeare lived.
“Although he left nearly a million words of text, we have just fourteen words in his own hand - his name
signed six times and the words, ‘by me’ on his will. . . . George Stevens observed that ‘all we know of
William Shakespeare is contained within a few scanty facts: that he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon,
produced a family there, went to London, became an actor and writer, returned to Stratford, made a will,
and died’ . . . It is not all that far from the truth.” (Bryson)

call Sharon and tell her you’ve had a change of
plans. Prior to your event, the Clubhouse
Committee’s Special Events Advisor, Grace Ann
Lynch, will contact you to explain the ins and outs
of using equipment in the Lakeview, Ballroom
and/or kitchen. Just a reminder that a
Summerfield resident must be present at all
times guests are present...and that includes when
the caterers are setting up and cleaning up. Also,
the Lobby is never reserved for private events. It
is always left open as a gathering place for
residents.

It’s my pleasure to announce a
new women’s golf start-up group
here at Summerfield. The goals
and objectives of this group are to
provide an avenue for women to
learn and have fun playing the
game in a non-competitive for-
mat. On July 12th
we had an or-
ganizational meeting and were
very pleased to have 32 women
sign up for the new group. On
July 18th
we hosted a course walk-
thru where we provided everyone
valuable knowledge in the areas
of golf course etiquette, rules and
course maintenance. This group
will continue to meet once a
month throughout the season
where we will provide a short clinic
before a fun round of golf. If
you’re interested in joining this
group, please call Rob Lindsey in
the golf shop.
The 3-day short game clinics are
still happening. If you’re inter-
ested, please call Rob in the golf
shop to sign up. We also offer in-
dividual lessons any time.
A quick reminder for all Men’s and
Women’s Club members; please
check your respective club’s bulle-
tin board for credit book balance
updates. Please remember that all
credit must be used by the end of
the year.

This month we thank Rod Sac-
conaghi for his short term of ser-
vice on this committee. Rod is
now a member of the SCA Board

with us he did complete the pro-
ject of the replacement of rotted
fascia boards and installation of
new gutters and down-
spouts. The Clubhouse Commit-
tee is seeking a male to fill Rod's
position. Please call Barbara
Lance with any questions regard-
ing a position on the committee.
Thanks to Pat Shute who saw
that the flags were posted for

The Green Corner By Kathy Peper
Though many aspects of our culture
encourage us to believe that the
important things in life are wealth and
fame, extensive academic research
across different countries and cultures
has shown that happiness has little to
do with spending money. The most
contented people are those who
spend their time helping others and
contributing to their community. From
peeling potatoes in a soup kitchen to
working pro bono, volunteering gives
you an opportunity not only to
increase the social capital of the
nation – the cornerstone of its
economic prosperity – but also to find
personal fulfillment in an activity that
doesn’t revolve around consuming
resources. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
