I’VE GOT A QUESTION
Do you have a question about something on the Ranch, but can’t
find anyone who seems to have the answer? Please email
ranchmanager@cloud9ranchclub.com your question and we’ll
find the answer for you. When space permits, we will publish
some of the questions and answers here in the 9Lines.
MESSAGE TO RANCH OWNERS
Owners are asking if they can submit and what is the best
way to provide poems, funny ranch stories or other items
for publication in the 9Lines when off the Ranch. If you
have questions, comments, articles, poems or ranch
stories, please send an email to the Ranch front desk at
reservations@cloud9ranchclub.com.
All entries submitted must be less than 250 words or will
be edited for space available. Adding pictures to an
article will depend on the ability to scan and print. Articles
will be printed as space allows during the off-season. Put
your creative writing juices to work and submit an article
of interest to 9Lines readers
Articles printed in the 9Lines may also be included in the
monthly eNewsletter mail-out to all owners who have
signed up for paperless communication. If you want your
membership added to the paperless list send a request for
paperless transmissions (information below).
HAVE YOU GONE PAPERLESS?
Have you received the Ranch’s all new
eNewsletter published monthly (via email
only)? If not, don’t miss out next month. Send a
request to be added to the going paperless effort that
will enable the Ranch to save printing and postage costs
by sending paperless email transmissions to owners.
Send your request email to cloud9ranchclub@gmail.com
with YOUR NAME, ADDRESS AND MEMBERSHIP NUMBER.
You will then receive this email only publication each
month along with other email transmissions from the
Ranch. Your email address is secure and will not be
used for any purpose other than C9R paperless
transmissions.
NAME A CAMPGROUND ROAD
The Fun-Addicts Committee is sponsoring a fundraiser to
begin next year’s activities for our Cloud 9 Kids. You

Campgrounds. Each campground will have a theme and
the road name you choose must fit the theme. Contact
Cheryll, Fern or Zaylor in the Ranch Office or email to
reservations@cloud9ranchclub.com. You will be notified
if your submission has been approved and at that time
payment of $25.00 per entry will be due. Your entry is not
official until funds are received. The following is the
theme for each campground and the number of roads left
to name:
Hill Country – Mountain Ranges
