Access for Tours, Filming, Photography, and Audio Recording Policy

The Golden Rain Foundation Board of Directors and their Staff are eager to promote the community through tours and publicity.  It should be noted that since this is a private gated community the residents expect a certain level of security, freedom to use their facilities without interruption, and personal privacy in their homes that the community affords them.  Certain guidelines have been established for community access.

This policy does not apply to media coverage of “breaking” news items covered by media such as newspapers or television; nor does this policy address requests made by residents personally for media access to the community.

Any individual or group requesting to tour or to photograph, and/or film, or otherwise record any community facility, activity and/or individual using the GRF facility, and/or any of the scheduled Saddleback College Emeritus classes, must submit a request in writing or by e-mail to the Governmental and Public Affairs Manager (wendy.bucknum@pcm-inc.org) and/or the Recreation Manager (steve.lafortune@pcm-inc.org).  The written request should include the purpose, an explanation of how/where the photographs and/or videos will be used, and the name of the business or organization making the request.

A minimum of three (3) day’s notice is required in order for all necessary notifications to be made.

An Entry License Agreement must be executed between the requester and the Golden Rain Foundation (or its authorized management agent) before access into the community is granted. 

While in the community, the requester will be accompanied by a representative at all times.  All persons filmed, photographed, or recorded in the community are required to sign GRF Release Agreement forms.
