Hey Beatitudes—GREAT news! We are proud to announce that the Transportation Department has been given approval to revamp the 29 passenger bus, which will include repowering the bus with a brand new Cummins engine. This will take care of the issues we have experienced in the past and allow us to explore the Phoenix Metro area with piece of mind. We do ask that you be patient with us during this process; we hope the bus will be fully functional by the middle of July. It is even more important to make sure you call x12905 for your reservations as we will only have the smaller buses at our disposal.
Even more GREAT NEWS! The Transportation committee, along with a recommendation from the life Enrichment Committee, has decided to reduce the number of reservations needed for off-campus outings from a 9-person minimum to a 5-person minimum on a 6-month trial basis. This means that for off-campus outings that are scheduled by the Life Enrichment Committee, we will only need to meet the 5-person minimum for trips that are out of the no-minimum zone.
No-Minimum Zone – what could that be? This new rectangular no-minimum zone has a perimeter including the I-17 on the west, Peoria Ave. on the north, Hwy 51 on the east and McDowell Rd. on the south. This means the Life Enrichment Committee can schedule any off- campus trip within this area with any number of reservations. We hope these changes will increase the number of our off-campus trips. These changes would not have happened without your voices. Changes will happen at Beatitudes if you keep sharing your ideas with the Residents Council and its various committees.*
