Here's "What I love about
Charbonneau" . . . from the CCC
Board Directors.
The thing that makes Charbonneau so special is the true sense of
community. This is a place filled
with people who care about each
other and the place they live. We
tend to think this is something
found in many places, but I think
the depth of this experience is
especially profound in Charbonneau. While we may have differing opinions about specific issues,
it is not for lack of concern and
passion. It is this sense of commitment to community that my
wife, Roberta, and I love most
about Charbonneau.
Gene Pronovost, President
My wife, Bernie, and I love
the warm and friendly people in
Charbonneau and their willingness to reach out and make our
community a great place to live.
Few places have its citizens as
engaged in their community as
we are in Charbonneau. And, of
course, Charbonneau is a beautiful place to live with the trees, the
golf course and its overall design.
Steve Perry, Vice-president
When I moved to Charbonneau, I came for the golf and a retirement home. But, having lived
here for about seven years, I have
to admit that I have fallen in love
with the place. Part of the beauty
of playing golf is the course, and
it (the course) delivers not only
at play but from my home. But
over time, the beauty of the place
is enjoyed whenever I walk the
community. It is just a very pleasant experience. Then, there are
the people who live here. I have
lived in a number states and communities, but Charbonneau is the

best. The people are friendly and
open. I have made more friends
in Charbonneau than the combined total for the prior 30 years.
Consequently, Charbonneau is no
longer just a retirement community with a golf course, but for me
and my wife, Laraine, it's home.
Peter Vazzana, Treasurer
Bob and I moved to Charbonneau because I retired and he
still worked in Salem. This location cut his commute in half. We
planned to fix our house up to sell
when he retired and move up to the
Puget Sound area with our boat.
We did not expect two things:
how wonderful the community
was and how having grandchildren would change how far we
were willing to be from our family. We have fallen in love with
this community and plan to stay.
We have been here 10 years and
have never lived anywhere where
people are so friendly and go out
of their way to help anyone. It
feels like we are living in a resort
with the beautiful landscape and
golf course. The safety and security of the area is important. We
do not worry about traveling and
always look forward to returning
home. We really enjoy the community atmosphere!
June Henry, Secretary
For me, Charbonneau is home.
It is the perfect blend of friendly
neighbors and beautiful surroundings. I live next to the walking
route and enjoy the friendly hellos of those out for a walk. To

helps out in many capacities for the
Charbonneau Country Club and other

getting the CCC library back into tip-top
shape after its renovation.
