WITH THE ADVENT OF NEW BOARD MEMBERS elected last November, Somersett has a “hands-on” board ready to dig into the issues and improve the way our community looks and functions. You might find a board member hiking through the gravel and dirt to get a better understanding of rock walls and slides. Or walking the parkway counting the number of dead trees or broken sprinkler heads. Or speaking to city officials to encourage Reno to pitch in to aid our community. The good news is that it’s working, and we’re excited to see positive change for Somersett.

The lawsuits that have weighed on the SOA in past years have been settled equitably and are behind us now. There is one remaining court appeal concerning the rockery wall case, but this has been paid for in full and no further legal costs are accumulating. We’ll know the result sometime later this year.

The new Somersett.org website has been launched and contains a ton of new features. Find your neighbors. Exchange recipes. Make reservations at the club. Report a problem. Join a community discussion forum. Sign up to receive the newsletter, get updates from the Club, and much more. The website is the place where you can keep up with the latest news and announcements and participate in your community amenities and events. Visit Somersett.org and register as a homeowner to get started.

We’re looking forward to a great summer and want to be ready. Experts are looking into ways to better manage our trees and landscape to use less water and achieve a healthier ecosystem and we’re working hand in hand with our landscape contractor. We’re also looking at ways to jump-start our community events this summer as the COVID-19 restrictions ease. Our favorite ideas include a monthly farmer’s market at the Town Center or a sunset golf cart tour and progressive appetizer event. Watch for the formation of a community events committee to spearhead those efforts.

Somersett is your community and the SOA Board works for you. We’d love to hear from you. Watch for a series of “5 in 5” surveys where you can answer five questions in under five minutes that will let us know what is important to you which will help us direct our efforts. The first survey was about how we can improve the meals and drink offerings poolside this summer. There was a terrific response, and we are working on your suggestions now. More surveys on the way, please participate because your opinion matters and will help to direct our effort.

So much more is on the way as we work to make Somersett the best place to live in Reno.

Cheers!

SOA Board of Directors
