The new Ambiente Golf Course at Camelback will be closed in October for over seeding and the Padre Course is unavailable due to a prior commitment to a large group. Golf at Mountain Shadows should be finished by 11:30 a.m. leaving plenty of time for those participating in the afternoon tour.
We have arranged for a tour of Taliesin West by private bus from 2-5 p.m. Taliesin West was Frank Lloyd Wright's winter residence and has been beautifully restored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. We will visit Wright's private office and living quarters, the Cabaret Theater, Music Pavilion and the dramatically beautiful garden terraces and walkways. Space is limited to 30, so sign up early!

| Clarification regarding Mid-Year Distribution Statements |
|
Last week Host Hotels, Inc.; General Partner of the Camelback Inn Associates Limited Partnership mailed cash distributions to the Limited Partners. The distribution statements were incorrectly labeled as "statement of distribution for period 04/01/2014 - 06/30/2014". Host has confirmed that this was a typographical error.
The distribution is for the period 01/01/2014 - 06/30/2014.

| Arrange for Direct Deposit of your cash distributions |
|
On behalf of the General Partner, we remind all Limited Partners that you have the option of having your distribution checks deposited electronically to your bank account. To arrange for direct deposit, mail or fax your request together with a voided check to Wanda Shopinski at the Condominium Office.
