This annual report is taken from the audit performed by an independent auditor of
Orient Land Trust's 2012 financial data.

It is autumn at the springs. The warm water still bubbles up, the mountains tower above the valley, and the leaves are blowing around. The summer was busy. Rains finally arrived and rinsed the air and settled the dust. I'm feeling grateful for the springs, the people that hold us up, and the strength of the natural world. One friend reminded me that this is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sometimes I forget to appreciate that truth. I extend many thanks to all the friends from near and far that hold this place up and contribute to this community. A sincere thanks once again to Neil and Terry for their unflinching courage and patience. I enjoyed the hours that Terry spent patiently explaining the books to me in my new role as treasurer. She can bring the numbers up quickly and find the comparisons that help to put it all in perspective. I also have a deep appreciation for all the board members and want to extend thanks to Geneva for doing such a good job since she was elected chairperson in August. All on the board are working hard. I'd like to say a quick thank you to the new members for their enthusiasm and also say thank you to the "old" members for their persistence. This place has endurance and gentle strength; I'm glad to play even a small part.

— Doug Bishop, Treasurer

When visitors come to Valley View, most are surprised to learn that we operate entirely "off-grid". All the heat and electricity they enjoy is generated here, onsite and with little environmental impact. Without realizing it, guests soak in and camp along the flowing, warm water that produces our power. It's just one of the many ways OLT connects people to our natural world.

Our flow of water varies constantly as do our demands for geothermal and hydroelectric power. Whenever our supply of power exceeds our needs, the excess energy adds heat to the Apple Tree pools. Over the last year, we've seen the Apple Tree pool temperatures stabilize with each system improvement and conservation effort. And, despite the drought, occasional rain and snow sometimes graces our system, bringing even more energy and heat.

Relying on any natural system, small or large, requires careful management. We're using The Energy Detective, "TED" to help us monitor and manage our energy. "TED" is an innovative tool which allows us to track how much energy is generated, and where exactly it is used. By accounting for our energy each night, week, and season, the TED Pro unit is helping us identify specific problems, schedule usage, and plan ahead... ultimately keeping us all as warm and cozy as possible, all year round. Best of all, this educational tool will inform us about our personal impact on these remarkable and limited resources.

OLT would like to thank The Energy Detective, Inc. for supporting us with their technology and donation. We encourage everyone to consider using these great, inexpensive conservation tools at their own homes and businesses. Together, we can save and share our world.

GOAL OF $150,000 FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY UPGRADE

Please donate today!

OLT members are the greatest people in the world! They believe in and have made a commitment to keeping Orient Land Trust and its holdings, among them our crown jewel – Valley View Hot Springs – the special place that it is forever. From the soaking ponds, the wildlife, the landscapes and pristine environment at the hot springs village, the nature trails, the bat out flight at the Orient Mine and the Everson ranch -- what's not to love? Our members have taken the important step to make sure that these things, and more, are preserved for future generations by becoming Members. Large capital infrastructure expenses, like the Wastewater Treatment upgrade, exceed the capacity of OLT's Operational Budget, thus our need for an Annual Appeal campaign to help fund this over-and-above expenditure. Thank you for supporting this project by contributing to this Annual Appeal. This project, while not glamorous, supports your OLT experience of serene landscapes and soothing waters with much needed renovations for life's basic necessities! Thanks for partnering with us.

Any Annual Appeal gift for the WWTP project will increase your Membership Level and related Member benefits accordingly (see Member Benefits).

Hey all you hot spring loving dudes and dudettes!

We want to tell you about the wonderful experience my three friends and I had volunteering with the Orient Land Trust during our short vacation from school. We helped rid the area of an invasive species, which was a rewarding learning experience. We also helped with some fire mitigation and dug a ditch to the collection box to bury a cable that will enable a new alarm system for the hydroelectric plant. Volunteering was such a blast – we were able to give back to a community that we love immensely and learn while we were at it. And who can argue with being able to soak after a long day of labor? We'll definitely be back—it was such a great time full of wonderful new people, beautiful landscapes, and new memories!

We have made changes in our organization today that will build a foundation for the future while honoring the past. This will be a future that emphasizes the profound vision of our founders, Neil & Terry, and is rooted in their original intention and purpose. We will be working with them to continue to develop the organization they established to preserve and protect OLT lands and the community that has embraced it. Effective immediately, there has been a change to the management and Board of Directors at Orient Land Trust. To see the current makeup of both, please visit our Board of Directors page.

Exploring various approaches to the operation of VVHS over the last few years has returned us to the sound and successful fundamentals established by our founders. OLT is fortunate to have a variety of resources – the mine, bats, ranch, open lands, etc. With the benefit of hindsight we will re-establish as our core the protection and care of VVHS knowing that our other entities complement and enhance VVHS.

VVHS is a sacred place to many, thriving through diversity and a rare tolerance of a variety of individual choices and expressions. Going forward, we strive to continue to make it a place where personal freedoms allow all of us to visit VVHS in a way that contributes to the magic and enhances our individual journeys through life with peace and abiding friendship.

The recently implemented rules and rates will be part of the board’s re-examination in the coming months. We will be evaluating our strategy for sound fiscal management and will announce changes as we continue to scrutinize our operations. Our immediate priority will be a focus on the VVHS Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is a state-mandated improvement that has to be built in the coming year.

For VVHS guests, we rely on a time-honored and universal “rule” to facilitate harmony in the coming months: Be responsible for yourself and your minors, and conduct yourself such that everyone’s experience is valued. We thank you for your understanding during this important transitional time and, as always, welcome comments and input. We always welcome applicants for the Board of Directors and hope you'll join us on October 19th [not 20th] for our Fall Quarter Board meeting.

Email the board chairperson with any questions and comments for the board. Individual board members can be contacted directly with the links below.

See Board of Directors Position Description below and Board Meetings for more information.

All officers are elected at the annual meeting in July.

If you are interested in serving on the Board, please submit a letter of interest and resume to the Board Governance Committee, Orient Land Trust, PO Box 65, Villa Grove, CO 81155 or email to the Governance Committee chairpersons. Please highlight your experience with nonprofits (including volunteer boards), fundraising, finance, work on committees, volunteerism, familiarity with OLT, your interests and expertise that you can bring to the board, and the reasons you want to be its newest member. Candidates for the Board of Directors will be asked to attend one meeting prior to being interviewed by the Board Development Committee. Committee work is also strongly encouraged prior to serving on the board.

	Douglas Bishop - Executive Director (email) Doug Bishop is a native of Colorado, born in La Junta in 1950. He moved to the San Luis Valley, Saguache County and was caretaker for property at Major Creek, three miles south of Valley View Hot Springs, from 1973 to 1980. His children, Kestrel and Alan, were born there. He first visited Valley View Hot Springs in March of 1973. In 1980, he moved to ten acres, originally part of the homestead that became Valley View Hot Springs, and built a house. For the past four years he's been building a new house on the property. He conducted recreational horseback rides in the area around the hot springs from 1984 to 2002. In 1984, he started working as a part-time ski instructor at Monarch Ski Area. He attained PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) Level II certification in 1991, PSIA Children's Accreditation in 1992, and PSIA Level III certification in 1993. He was selected Colorado Ski Country USA's Ski Instructor of the Year for the 1992-93 ski season. His seasonal full-time employment for Monarch began in 1988, and in 2001, he completed his eighth and final season as manager of the Monarch Children's Center. In 2003 Doug received a BA degree in Elementary Education from Adams State College. He taught second grade at Jewell Elementary in Aurora for the 2003-04 school year. For the 2004-05 school year, he worked as a teacher's aide for the Title I program in Saguache, Colorado at Mountain Valley Schools. For the 2005-06 school year, he worked as the classroom teacher for a combined classroom of third and fourth graders in Saguache at Mountain Valley Elementary. Doug has worked off and on for Valley View Hot Springs since 1975. Some of the Valley View projects he has assisted with include: Oak House remodel and upstairs dormitory addition, cabin repair and remodeling projects, Sunset Rooms construction, bath house construction, swimming pool reconstruction, stone retaining wall around swimming pool, soaking pools reconstruction, hydroelectric plant installation and upgrade, pipelines, housing, cleaning, maintenance, and registration/office duties. Doug is interested in maintaining the open space characteristic of the area, enjoying and promoting clothing optional policies, and preserving the existing natural and historical resources of the neighborhood that has been his home since 1973.
	Crystal England - Deputy Director/ED Select (email) Crystal was born and raised in a small town in Iowa. On a family vacation to Colorado, when Crystal was 11, she set her sights on returning some day to live among the mountains, surrounded by trees. In the summer of 2015, she and her boys, Noah and Gabe, visited Crestone for the first time. They planned to stay a few days, which turned into a week. They returned soon for another visit. Then the decision was made, and the three of them became Crestone residents. Crystal’s dream of mountain living was achieved! Crystal began working at the front desk in May of 2016 and immediately fell in love with the magic that is Valley View Hot Springs. 2017 introduced her to the Everson Ranch where she continues to create memories working in the garden, the kitchen, and hosting events. Dedication to protecting this water, land, community, and continuing to the legacy of the Orient Land Trust shapes her future. Crystal loves to feed people and, when not at work, can usually be found in the kitchen, tending to her giant collection of house plants, or spending time with her children. She is passionate about organic food, clean water, enjoys studying history, and spreading joy.
Board of Directors
	Roger Courtemanche - Board Chairperson (Term expires 2025) (email) Roger is originally from New Hampshire. He moved to Colorado in 2000. Roger has been coming to Valley view for over 10 years now. His first time he was actually turned away because we were at capacity. He returned the next day with friends and fell in love with the place and decided to get involved. Roger attended board meetings and when he didn’t leave when the discussion about the financials started they decided he might be a good fit for the board and asked him to join.

They enjoy snowboarding in the beautiful Rocky Mountains that surround them and, of course, visiting Valley View as much as possible. When asked, “What do you love about Valley View and why are you on the Board of Directors?”, Jon says, “Let’s just say this, if more people were like the people that are members of Valley View Hot Springs and Orient Land Trust, out in the real world, we could fix everything…outside of the magic of the land and water…the people are what make this place special. I’m honored and blessed to be able to be a small part of it.”
	Patrick Comiskey - Treasurer (Term expires 2025) (email) Bio coming soon.
	Scott Hamilton - Secretary (Term expires 2024) (email) Scott Hamilton's first experience with Valley View Hot Springs was in the early 80's, before the first bathhouse was built, when his girlfriend (now wife) Rachel suggested a visit to this cool place in the northern San Luis Valley "where you don't wear any clothes – anywhere". Always a naturist at heart, he was intrigued and then charmed by the magic of Valley View. He visited sporadically during the 80's, but after the first boy was born in the early 90's, visits accelerated. Soon two more boys were added to the roster (identical twins) and all three learned to swim in the Valley View swimming pool. Camping and swimming and diving for baubles in the party pool – ahem – "soaking pond" -- what's not to like? Scott and Rachel and kids loved the family-friendly atmosphere, rustic setting and clothing-optional environment found nowhere else. Scott is an electrical engineer by training, co-founding, running, and selling two high-tech companies in the Boulder entrepreneurial tradition. Retired in 2001, he and his wife enjoy backpacking, back-country skiing, bike touring and traveling, including visiting other hot springs world-wide – the latest at the bottom of a fabulous marble gorge in Taiwan. Scott and Rachel live in Boulder.
	Susan Hicks - (Term expires 2025) (email) Contributing to society was a quest that began, for myself, in high school and continued after college. I enrolled in the Peace Corps in 1976 and was off to change the world. My first stop was Central America and Spanish language classes in El Salvador. I was then moved to Guatemala. This was quite an education indeed. Following culture shock and enrollment in graduate school, education became my calling. I had completed a degree in Biology and decided to continue my studies with a Master's in Science Education. This led to a successful 30-year career in public education and numerous opportunities to support environmental causes. My career in teaching allowed me to develop leadership skills through curriculum development, union negotiations, department leadership, and training other teachers. My passion for the environment and for our human connection to the environment was inspired by the likes of Jane Goodall and Rachel Carson. My many visits to Valley View Hot Springs and the surroundings prompted me to continue to meditate about our place on the planet. I initiated a 2nd career in the public libraries where I was exposed to many tremendous authors and became a fanatic for an individual's right to access information. Libraries promote so many causes and welcome all. I feel this is a guiding premise to OLT's mission. To preserve an individual's right to knowledge, to recreate in a birthday suit, to connect with others in a safe and open environment, and to appreciate our place in the universe propelled me to serve on the OLT Board of Directors.
