Celebrating 16 years of service on HOA Board

Jan with her horse, Whiz Kid

Jan Curtis, one of Nellie Gail's early settlers (1980), has been the longest running member of the Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association Board serving 16 years including several years as president. Sadly, she has decided that she will not run for re-election to the board at the end of this term. Her accomplishments and contributions to community are numerous. Visit any of the community's common areas, parks, trails, or tennis, swim and equestrian facilities, and it is very likely that Jan was involved. Her involvement was not limited to board meetings but included sweat equity with members of the board and the community often pitching in to build, plant and maintain some of the parks and trails that can be found throughout our community. These amenities have brought many families to Nellie Gail and, while appreciated, are easily taken for granted.

With this in mind, Jan was honored by some of her friends and supporters with a small luau on Saturday night. She was presented with a plaque to acknowledge the appreciation for her dedication and service to the community. While Jan will undoubtedly have more time to spend with her husband (Chuck), travel, judge dressage at equestrian shows and train some of the area's most accomplished dressage riders, she will be missed for her wisdom and wealth of knowledge regarding Nellie Gail Ranch, its governance and its people. Fortunately, we have a lasting reminder of her love and devotion to the community every time we see the wonderful amenities that she helped bring to Nellie Gail Ranch for this and future generations.

So on behalf of all those who enjoy the benefits of the Ranch . . . Thank you Jan!
