The Dobson Ranch Retirees' Club was organized in 1999 when several retired residents decided to meet and find ways to make new friends, stay active and become involved in Dobson Ranch activities together. From its inception, the Retirees' Club has fostered the spirit of good fellowship, volunteerism and social activities on Dobson Ranch. It has been a place to meet new friends and enjoy age-appropriate activities of common interest to the group. General Meetings of the Retirees' Club are held at La Casita Recreation Center. Each year the membership of the club has grown as Dobson Ranch residents enjoy the camaraderie and functions offered by club members. There is a Board of Directors for the club and the Board meets on the third Monday of each month to plan events for future months, nominate new officers, suggest chairpersons and coordinate the activities of the club.
Dobson Ranch Retirees' Club stays in touch with its members in a number of ways. The monthly General Meeting brings members together to socialize and also to share information about happenings on the Ranch and within the club, such as the health and welfare of its members. At the General Meeting, an agenda is distributed about coming events and things of interest to members. The Retirees' Club maintains a database of members and email addresses. Members are notified by telephone or email of special events or items of interest. Announcements of coming events and a calendar of functions are available in the Retirees' Club Section of the monthly Ranchers' RoundUp magazine.
Committees include: Day Trippers, Dinner Night Out, Happy Hour, Men's Breakfast, Movie Day, Fun & Game Day, Ladies Lunch, Hiking, Cycling, and Picnics.
Pickleball courts are open to association members and their guests from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm every day of the week, so drop by for some fun with family and friends to enjoy the fastest growing sport in America.
We welcome new resident players but do advise checking with us before coming out to make sure our schedule has not changed. We provide balls for drop-in play through the generous donations of our players, and can provide loaned paddles, but please wear appropriate court shoes. Contact Rich Bitner (rebitner@nullcs.com) or Frank Mizner (planner1948@nullgmail.com) for further information, to get referrals for professional instruction, and to get on our email list for announcements regarding pickleball schedules and activities. Please contact Donna Ransom at (donna85202@nullgmail.com) to get on her email list for Monday and Thursday night play.
Hikes are planned to such places at Salt River, White Tank Mountains, Usery Park, Estrella Mountains, Cave Creek, San Tan Mountains, and more. There are two hiking levels: The Pacers (shorter hikes) and The Clippers (longer hikes).
Hikers meet at the La Casita Recreation Center parking lot, and drivers are designated.

Most events will be held at La Casita on the 4th Tuesday. Specific dates and places will always be in the Ranchers' RoundUp, as well as descriptions.
