Cloud 9 Ranch Management and staff have been working hard to
make the Ranch Amenities such as the Restaurant and Trading
Post more accommodating for the membership. There has been
some restructuring done in these areas that will help us achieve
that goal. Some of the changes that have taken place will allow
the Ranch to operate these areas with a lower amount of labor
than before. These changes have been ongoing for the past few
months and we have finally reached a point where we can start
implementing these changes in a way that will benefit the mem-
bership. Your support and understanding as we incorporate these
changes is greatly needed. Regardless if you are visiting us for
the month, the week or even just the day, we hope that you will
stop by and visit the Ranch House and Trading Post!

weekend.
Special thanks to the

come out to fellowship
and have fun.
We appreciate your

Pay It Forward~
Pride in ownership that will
Just in case you’ve never met this couple, let us intro-
duce you to Chuck and Helene Allen. They are Cloud 9
Ranch members who came up with an idea that will
benefit Cloud 9 Ranch for future generations. It’s a
“pay it forward” move on the part of this couple. First
of all, you need to know a little about Chuck and Helene
before we tell you what they are doing.
Chuck Allen retired from the Air Force in 1977
as a First Sergeant of Security Police Squadron in Cali-
fornia. They moved to Caulfield, Missouri in 1981 and
became very active in the Caulfield community, helping
organize a committee and Chairmen of the first Caulfield Fall Festival to raise funds to build
the fire house. Chuck became Vice-President and Helene Secretary-Treasurer of the Caulfield
Volunteer Fire Department when it was established in 1982. The couple bought a Cloud 9
Ranch membership around 1983 (when the prices were developer-sized). Living so close, they
didn’t camp overnight at the Ranch but invested to enjoy the Ranch in their retirement years.
Helene is from Hawaii and around 1986 they moved there to care for Helene’s aging
parents. Staying in Hawaii for over 20 years, in 2010 Chuck retired as a Parks/Recreation
Maintenance Superintendent, Helene retired as a legal assistant, and they moved back stateside,
settling in San Antonio, TX. They have three sons, 5 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren
scattered all over the USA.
Cloud 9 Ranch members for almost 30 years but living in Hawaii for most of that time,
Chuck and Helene were unable to visit Cloud 9 Ranch since they left Caulfield in 1986. How-
ever, they continually supported Cloud 9 Ranch, even sending checks when hearing of a project
or need, especially the Employee Appreciation program. Chuck and Helene are some of the
first Charter Members of the Cloud 9 Cruisers Club, a service club of dedicated owners who
donate money and time to ranch service and support management and ranch improvements with
fundraising events. In both 2010 and 2011, they fulfilled part of their retirement dream and
were able to spend a few weeks on the Ranch meeting people and building lasting friendships.
Now, why should you know all of this? This is a bittersweet time in Chuck and
Helene’s life, as they are thankful for family and friends, and the life they have together, but
realize it is time to make some changes. Now a retired couple living on social security, the rig-
ors of travel and health issues, retirement didn’t turn out to include Cloud 9 Ranch as much as
they had planned. Faced with facts of life, hard decisions had to be made; one of which is giv-
ing up their Cloud 9 Ranch membership. They had several options to consider; like selling or
deeding back. But they didn’t do either. They have a much better idea; donating their long-
time membership to the C9R Fire Department Building Fund, where raffle tickets will be sold
and the membership deeded to a new ranch family on New Year’s Eve. The new member’s
2013 Maintenance Fees will be paid and all other proceeds of the raffle will go directly to the
Fire Department Building Fund. This is a wonderful gesture on the part of Chuck and Helene
Allen. Their longtime membership will still count for something. Their generosity will be me-
morialized in a way that many would never think of, let alone make it happen. Hopefully,
Chuck and Helene will be able to attend as our honored guests for the grand opening of our new
C9R Fire Department building when it becomes a reality. But first, we’ve got to help them sell
those raffle tickets over the next few months!!!
Raffle tickets for a Cloud 9 Ranch Membership (includes 2013 Maintenance Fees paid)
are available for $5.00 each or 3 for $10. They are printed in packets of 12 tickets and will be
distributed to anyone who wants to help sell them. You can even purchase an entire packet for
ONLY $40 (a $20 savings off the one-ticket price). If you want to buy raffle tickets or help sell
them, call the Ranch Office at (417-284-7321).
Because of just a little bit of creative thinking outside the box, on New Year’s Eve 2012
one lucky new member of our Cloud 9 Ranch family will know the membership they own was
cherished for so many years and comes with a history of deep pride of ownership!!! Thank
you, Chuck and Helene Allen for support C9R over the years. We at Cloud 9 Ranch hope your
golden years bring you many blessings!
