| Remembering Anne Sherwood |
|
We received word recently of the passing of Anne Sherwood last fall. Anne lived in Colorado and was for many years an active Camelback owner who regularly attended annual meetings. Most recently, she chaired the Nominating Committee for two years. We send our condolences to all the members of Anne's family.

| CBI Rates Announced Through July, 2017 |
|
The Reciprocal Properties page of the web site contains the Camelback room rates through July. As you may have noticed, the Inn has achieved record high rates this Prime Season and we congratulate the Camelback Resort Team for making this possible. With Prime Season over, please be aware that rates will decrease dramatically during the next two months, which will affect the number of days your unit is charged for reciprocal stays. For more information on planning your vacation usage, visit the Reciprocal Properties page.

| Reciprocal Destination: Cape Town, South Africa |

Marriott recently opened its first property in South Africa, the Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers situated in Cape Town's bustling Century City, near many of the area's top landmarks. The hotel's guest rooms and suites have sleek marble bathrooms, plush bedding and cylindrical glass showers. You will also find a cutting-edge spa and fitness center and a sparkling outdoor swimming pool, offering stunning views of the Cape Town skyline. Among the city's attractions are the world famous Table Mountain, which can be reached via rotating cable cars and Robben Island, the infamous prison that once held Nelson Mandela and is now a living museum.
The Cape Town Crystal Towers Hotel is Marriott's third property to open in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Kigali Marriott in Rwanda and the Renaissance Lagos Ikeja Hotel are also available under your Reciprocal Exchange Program. There are also several reciprocal hotels in the North African countries of Morocco, Algeria and Egypt.
