Ruth Dean Note: Following is Ruth Dean’s campaign speech. Please select “Read More” for the balance of the speech presented at the recent General Meeting. It is followed by an expanded Position Statement.
My name is Ruth Dean and I am running for President of AGRC. Many of you know me from the bi-weekly Food Bank where I have volunteered for 4 years as the check-in person. I also am responsible for AGRC support to the Food Bank. This includes locating and managing volunteer support and arranging for in-home delivery to residents who are unable to come in person. Currently, I am the vice-president of AGRC and the team leader for the six building representatives.
In addition, I lead the Social Hour Squad as we present the monthly Social to recognize the people with birthdays during the month with cake and ice cream from our campus managers, Dave and Pam. This event also provides a way for new residents to meet their neighbors.
AGRC is a social organization whose mission is to provide a welcoming environment and opportunities for friendship, recreation, wellness, and education, thus empowering residents to continue an active and independent lifestyle within the Community. If elected, my administration will return the focus of the organization on the social elements of Arrowhead Gardens life, while continuing its outstanding wellness and educational activities.
I recognize that some residents have concerns about landlord/tenant issues and I respect their desire to have these resolved. The current president has formed a second resident-based organization, STT--SHAG Tenants Together--that specifically addresses these important issues. That organization encompasses all the SHAG facilities and the current AGRC president serves as the president of that organization. If elected, I would ensure that all landlord/tenant issues are directed to STT for resolution.
