Annual Meeting
Saturday, February 15th, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.
Please join us! Learn about your neighborhood and plan to participate! Our Annual Meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. If you wish to attend, please email Pat Wiedhopf at patw1234@comcast.net for the link.
We will review what was accomplished in 2024, share our plans for 2025, and invite you to share your thoughts and/or concerns with our board members.
BOARD ELECTIONS
Board members will be elected for terms ending in 2028. Three current board members are running for reelection and additional board members are needed. What does it take to be a board member? It takes a lot less than you would think! Just be a Vista Del Rio resident. It is not necessary to be a homeowner. We invite you to join us!
Call Sharon Spiker, Nominations Committee Chair, at 520-296-3864 to place your name on the ballot. (Leave your information on her message machine.) Please note that nominations can also be made at the appropriate time during the Annual Meeting.

VISTA DEL RIO STREETS
Resurfacing almost complete
The Vista Del Rio neighborhood street resurfacing is almost complete. Please expect speed humps and lane markers to be reinstalled over the next several weeks. We thank you for your cooperation to make this large-scale project a success.
The participation of the Vista Del Rio Board Members in Independent Oversight and Accountability Commission meetings and direct communication with the City of Tucson have been instrumental in prioritizing this project.
ANNUAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
On Saturday, December 14th, the Vista Del Rio Residents’ Association hosted a Holiday Celebration, in lieu of our traditional hayride. The VDR Board provided hot chocolate, hot cider, snacks and holiday music on Saturday, December 14th, and was welcomed with a strong neighborhood turnout.
During the celebration, three large boxes of non-perishable goods were filled by
community members and donated to the Community Food Bank. Residents also raised $150 in donations to the local Community Food Bank. Additionally, three large moving boxes were filled with new, unwrapped toys for donation to the Toys for Tots Tucson.
We appreciate everyone who came by to visit with neighbors, spend time with the VDR Board, and view the beautiful display of holiday decorations and lights.
