We hired two Admin Assistants for the front office, Crysta and Samantha, please welcome them into our Park and be patient while they are training.  Delores and Keely are still in the front office.  At times, due to staffing, the office may close for lunch between 12:30‐1.  

 

I would like to announce that we hired a new General Manager, Brian Presley.  Brian has a Master’s in Business Administration and successfully ran his own company for years.  Unfortunately, COVID caused his business to close.    Brian is eager to learn the uniqueness of River Bend.  Please give him a warm welcome.

 

Have a wonderful week!  Jen Bein

Members, Thank you for this opportunity; I'm very excited to join and lead the team of River Bend Membership Corporation. I owned and operated my own business for the past 10 years, which unfortunately closed due to Covid‐19. I completed my Master's in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix; I plan to use my experience and education for the betterment of the park. I have lived in Falling Waters for the past 11 years right down the street from the park. I grew up just across the Potomac River in Washington County, MD. I have been married to my wife for 9 years and we have 5 children. I hope to continue to develop the family‐friendly environment of the park, look forward to servicing this community and getting to know all of you; thanks for welcoming me!

Hello Riverbend!  Security hopes everyone is having a good season so far.  We really appreciate those of you that care about the park and are actively taking a role in keeping the park safe.   I would like to take a moment to again remind members about the seriousness of abusing the compactor area.  We have been having issues with members dumping illegal materials in the burn pit.  If you are not sure what you can put in the burn pile, please ask security or maintenance before doing so.  Something that you might think is ok to burn, could be something that once starts burning, could put off toxic fumes to those who live nearest the burn pit.  Further, some items can burn intensely for hours, catching nearby woodland areas on fire as well.  We have issued quite a few violations for these infractions of policy lately.  If you are dumping illegally, rest assured you have a violation in the mail.  We may not catch you in the act but our surveillance system will, and the fine is hefty.  It doesn’t pay to cut corners when others' health and safety are on the line.  Please be courteous and follow River bends policies, they are in place for everyone’s safety. On a lighter note, one of our senior guards, Dennis Peterson Sr, is back to work after a long stay in the hospital for health issues.  Please welcome him back, if you have donations for him or his family you can give them to a board member, myself, or Dennis himself.   On a final note, please make sure your information in our systems is up to date.  We have been trying to contact members over various issues recently but they either have no number listed or the information is outdated.  We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend! Thomas Zimmerman
