Board of Directors’ Report
Jack Harris, Vice President
For the last five years, I have been very involved in Association governance, serving as a Board Director for four years. Giving back has always been important to me, and I have donated my time and efforts, guided by my personal motto: Integrity First! My fiduciary duty has always been my priority. I leave the board knowing that our Association is stronger and more resilient than ever.
Though many have encouraged me to seek re-election, I have decided that stepping away now is the right choice. I am grateful for the encouragement and trust from so many residents. Your confidence in my leadership means the world to me.
One of the greatest frustrations of serving on the board has been the slow pace of progress. The Strategic Plan is a prime example. I began work on a Strategic Plan as early as 2018, and we are still working to complete it seven years later. This
demonstrates how easily long-term initiatives can be derailed without sustained commitment and a shared vision.
A significant reason for me not to continue on the board is the impact of social media on our community. The personal defamatory attacks come from a small but vocal group of less than 10 residents. This ongoing disinformation and untruths has become destructive to the Association. Their persistent efforts to smear and demoralize staff and volunteers continue discouraging many from volunteering! Worse still, there is evidence that this negativity discourages some prospective home buyers. They are questioning whether they want to live in a community where hostility overshadows teamwork. This is a challenge we must confront together.
I wish the 2025 Board all the best! Thank you to everyone who has supported me! Serving this community has been an honor.
A Note from the Executive Director Jeff Caponera, Interim Executive Director
Budget preparation is crucial for Homeowners Associations (HOAs), ensuring that funds are allocated efficiently to meet community needs. Without careful planning, an HOA can appear foolish in its financial management, risking member dissatisfaction and potential legal issues.
To begin effective budget preparation, board members and residents must learn about the budget process. This involves reviewing historical expenses, forecasting future costs, and identifying funding sources. Engaging the community in this process allows residents to make their voices heard, fostering transparency and collaboration.
Alignment with strategic planning initiatives is vital for HOAs. The budget should reflect the community’s long-term goals, such as enhancing amenities, improving maintenance, or investing
in security. By prioritizing these initiatives, an HOA can ensure that its budget supports the overall vision for the community.
Moreover, regular communication about budget preparations helps to build trust among residents. Residents who feel involved and informed are more likely to support proposed budgets and contribute positively to community discussions.
In conclusion, effective budget preparation is not just about numbers; it is about creating a financial plan that aligns with the community’s goals and aspirations. By learning about the budget process and encouraging participation, HOAs can ensure a prosperous future for their neighborhoods while avoiding the pitfalls of poor financial management.
Attend the open budget forum on Thursday, May 8, at 9:00 AM to learn more about the budget process and ask questions.

Don’t Fool Around, Have a Plan
Greg Kevin, Chair
“A fool with a plan can beat a genius without a plan.” ~ T-Bone Pickens
The ARC is all about plans, we regularly review plans. Residents submit their plans for many reasons, from landscape to exterior lighting and solar to exterior additions. The ARC knows plans. However, there is one type of plan that our residents often overlook: An emergency evacuation plan. Do you have a plan?
In preparing for a local crisis or emergency, it is crucial to have a well-thought-out emergency plan. Here are some things to consider when planning for a potential emergency:
1) Identification and contact information for all family members or household members. 2) A designated meeting point outside your home and another outside your neighborhood in case you cannot return home. 3) Routes and alternate routes
Compliance Committee No Fooling
Sherry
Mosby, Chair
Have you seen the worldfamous Davis-Stirling Juggling Act? Two 90-year-old twins, Davis and Stirling, juggle 10-pound bowling balls and then toss them into the audience to see if they can catch them. Many people were taken to Urgent Care. April Fools.
In Lincoln Hills our Board of Directors would never have approved this performance because the (real) Davis-Stirling Act is a California law that sets the rules and guidelines for how homeowners associations (HOAs) operate. Governor Deukmejian signed the legislation into law on September 18, 1985, and went into effect on January 1, 1986, as Civil Code 1350-1374. It covers everything from how the HOA is run, how decisions are made, and how disputes between homeowners and the HOA are managed. The law aims to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in how HOAs govern
mapped out for different types of emergencies (e.g., fire, natural disaster). 4) A list of essential items to grab quickly: Important documents (IDs, insurance papers, medical records), prescriptions and medications, cash and credit cards, basic hygiene supplies (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap), emergency blankets, and extra clothing. 5) A “go bag” ready with supplies for at least 72 hours: Non-perishable food and water, first aid kit, flashlight, extra batteries, multi-tool and duct tape, backup phone charger, and important phone numbers. 6) Plan for pets, including food, medication, and transport. You should regularly review and adjust your plan as needed. We are fortunate to live in a safe community, but unfortunately, the unthinkable can happen. It is easy to worry, but the best way to put your mind at ease is to prepare and have a plan.
Don’t fool around, have a plan!
shared communities, ensuring homeowners’ rights are protected and that HOAs follow certain procedures regarding things like meetings, voting, and enforcing community rules. Fortunately, our Board of Directors are all very familiar with these procedures and are bound to uphold them.
Some of the reasons we love living here are the beautiful open spaces, the appearance of well-maintained homes, the many activities and clubs and the way we all strive to live in harmony. Can you imagine how difficult it would be for so many homeowners to agree on what is acceptable and what is not without these rules? We all signed and agreed to them before moving here. If you are unsure what is acceptable, refer to the Design Guidelines or call the Community Standards Department for help. Cooperation and a shared feeling of pride makes Lincoln Hills a great place to call home.
Properties Committee
April Fools
Peggy Scott, Committee Member
We continue to do our monthly inspections, and we are pleased to see actions being taken on our recommendations. For example, the Kilaga Springs fountain outside the Spa was to be dismantled. We recommended that the wall fountain be repaired and remain working for all to enjoy.
Watch for the informational signs throughout our community that are in the process of being replaced.
Once approved, Meridian’s kitchen will be getting new equipment. Their current equipment is 20-plus years old, and some are unusable. If we want a good product coming out of the kitchen, it makes sense to start with good, workable equipment.
We added a new committee member, Tom Moe. Tom has extensive experience in commercial and institutional construction. He was a Certified Professional Estimator, Facilities Condition Estimator, and Lead Construction Manager at several large
commercial companies. Tom was also a volunteer for the Agricultural Review Committee at Morgan Springs, Valley Green, and a board member. Tom will be a welcome addition to our committee.
With much discussion and deliberation, it has been decided that since the indoor pool at Orchard Creek is in dire need of repair and those repairs will be very costly, it has been unanimously voted to turn it into a koi pond to enhance the tranquility for those using the facilities. Plans are in the works. We have interviewed and chosen a vendor that will also bring in the fish. The company chosen has already started the conceptual drawings. When complete, they will be displayed in the lobby for all to view and comment on.
‘April Fools’ from the Properties Committee! We hope this gave you a laugh.
Seriously, the project to repair the pool and the pool area from the ceiling to the bottom of the pool is being worked on. Hopefully, the work will begin in the next few weeks.
Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Recognized Club
George Herrmann, Chair
We are responsible for two key Association documents. One is the Club Policies document, which can be found on the Resident Website under Lifestyle and then Clubs. The other document is Recreational Rules and Regulations. Both of these went through significant updates in 2024, they were then presented to the Board of Directors and are currently under legal review. As part of that review, legal has advised the CCOC that there will be a lifting of many restrictions on how the Board of Directors recognizes a club. While at first these changes seemed like an April Fool’s joke, they turned out to be true. Club membership must be open to and restricted to all Association residents. If your club has been turned down in the past, you should reapply. The benefits of being a recognized club can
be found in the Club Policies handbook. If you cannot locate it on the Resident Website, you can contact the CCOC for a copy. One of the benefits of being a recognized club is the annual club meeting taking place this year in Presentation Hall on April 29. The contacts for all existing recognized clubs will get an invitation. If a club contact has not received an invitation by the time you read this, please contact the CCOC. Significant information is transmitted at these annual meetings. If you’re thinking of forming a new club or applying for your existing club to be recognized and would like to attend the meeting, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the CCOC. We will ascertain if you can participate in the meeting. Here are some ideas for new clubs. Fantasy Football, Badminton, Mexican Train, Dungeons and Dragons, and Yahtzee. And?
As announced previously, when nominations closed on February 18, 2025, five candidates had submitted their nominations for the four open board seats. With one candidate’s withdrawal, we now have four qualified candidates running for four available board positions:
Renee Plummer, Marie Barnes, Russ Petruzzelli, and David Mateer.
Since there is no longer a campaign, all campaign events have been canceled. However, if you would like to learn more about the candidates and their platforms, please contact them directly. Some have websites or campaign materials they can send, and some might schedule meet-and-greets.
NOTICE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION BY ACCLAMATION:
Per Civil Code section 5103 and our election rules, as the number of candidates does not exceed the number of open seats, the Association may declare
the candidates elected by acclamation without undertaking the added expense of formal balloting.
The Inspector of Elections (IOE) is responsible for verifying that all election procedures, including nomination and notice requirements, were properly followed. The IOE has confirmed that all legal conditions have been met and determined that, because the election is uncontested, the board candidates may be seated by acclamation during the Annual Meeting on May 15, 2025.
The Annual Meeting remains an important event for our community, providing an opportunity to hear updates, celebrate our progress, and welcome the new board members.
We appreciate all members who stepped forward to serve and encourage ongoing participation in the governance of our community.
If you have any questions, please contact the Elections Committee at Elections.Committee@ sclhca.com.
Finance Committee
Financial Report
Fred Raach, Chair
For the last several years, the focus of the Finance Committee articles has been reporting the operational results in total and comparing them to what is expected in the Budget. Reserve spending has been noted but without much detail on the specific items being repaired or replaced. In the latest reserve study, the expected reserve expenditures in 2025 and 2026 are $3.9 million and $4.0 million. These are much larger than what has been spent in prior years, primarily due to a number of very expensive projects. Some examples are the Orchard Creek Ballroom and Kilaga Lodge lobby and living room renovations, the replacement of the cardio exercise equipment at Orchard Creek and Kilaga, and the conversion of all lighting to LED’s.
Beginning this month, finance articles will highlight the overall performance of the Association against the budget, continue to share department-level financials, and provide additional information on reserve spending.
Financial Results: For the first two months of this year, operational results have been very close to what was anticipated in the Budget. Total revenue for the two months was $3.462 million, $12,000 more than budgeted. Total expenses were $3.448 million, $8,000 less than projected,
producing a net positive result of $20,000 better than planned.
The chart below shows the two-month results by department compared to their budgeted amounts. Being on budget or doing better is the primary objective, but understanding the reasons for any divergence requires more detailed information. Such information is available for all departments each month as an attachment to the Finance Committee meeting agenda posted on eNews and the Resident Website.
Reserve Spending: For many years, the amount of dues allocated to the reserve fund has exceeded expenditures, causing it to grow to its current level, $13.4 million, at year end of 2024. The projected reserve expenditures for the next several years will be at historically high levels, larger than the additions from dues and interest. If the total expenditures through 2026 equal what the reserve study projects, the reserve fund will decrease by $2.4 million to $11.0 million at the end of 2026 and then again begin to increase.
This year, the Browning Group will conduct an onsite review of all the items that are or should be included in the reserve study and their estimated useful lives and replacement costs to ensure our study is as complete and accurate as possible.
Lifestyle News and Happenings
Fool-proof Planning Wins
Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager
Procrastination can be foolish, as it may lead to lost opportunities. Such is the case for some when it comes to Lifestyle offerings. If you wait too long to buy a show ticket or register for the class, you might be out of luck if all seats are sold. Procrastination in registering for a trip could result in cancelation due to low participation, so the opportunity is lost for everyone.
Trip planning and coordination is a lengthy process – it can start up to a year before the trip goes on sale. Reservations and purchases of tickets for games and shows need to happen before we can even promote the trip. Additionally, deposits on lodging, transportation, catering, and tickets become non-refundable after certain deadlines.
Once all costs are confirmed and entered in the trip budget spreadsheet, we can see the
calculations (thanks to pre-set formulas) based on how many seats we feel we can sell. It starts out as an exact science, but experience, buyer history, and intuition all come into play. We always strive to serve as many residents as possible, but we also use all three of the aforementioned to determine how many seats we feel will sell so that we cover our costs and make the 25-30% margin, or net profit, required.
Our “No Refunds” policy is in place to essentially protect your dollars. We understand it is a commitment to purchase early. We always suggest you purchase trip insurance if you need to cancel. Some credit cards also offer that coverage if you use that card for purchase. Additionally, you may be able to sell your ticket to another resident should there be a waitlist. Wouldn’t you rather have a memorable experience than a missed opportunity?

April Fool’s Day – Fitness Myths That Are Just Lies
Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director
You have listened to fitness advice from everybody, from social media to colleagues. Here are some common facts.
Myth one: “No pain, no gain” This is the most overused training cliché of all time. It started with bodybuilding. Think about it: if this statement were true, then nobody would ever see any results gained after every painless workout or sport. For example, there would be no results from yoga/ stretching or water walking. If you have pain, speak to a health professional. The pain could be something as simple as not having good form.
Myth two: “Always stretch before a workout.”
While it’s important to have ligaments and tendons flexible, static stretching can make them weaker. I recommend stretching after your workout or at least when your body is warmed up first with light cardio or even exercise like the plank that
will heat up the entire body. This will boost your range of motion, prevent injury, and improve body awareness.
Myth three: “The best time to workout is in the morning.” The truth is that we should work out when it is suitable for us, when it feels like the right time to exercise, and preferably when we have the energy to do so. Nobody will reach their full potential when they are too tired.
At the end of the day, find an expert who can guide you on your fitness journey and help you understand the difference between fact and myth.
Something exciting is happening around the lodge on Tuesdays. It’s WellFit’s Tuesday to-do list. Every Tuesday, we have something planned, whether it’s happy hour with our pups on the terrace, stretching with that class of wine, or Walk and Talk.

Fool’s Gold or Worth Every Penny
Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter
In case you haven’t heard, there’s talk about the penny being dropped from our currency. No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke!
Like a bad penny, this very topic of conversation has been turning up for years. Whether to keep or eliminate the penny, whose official designation is one cent, has become something of a coin toss. In both 1990 and 2017, legislation to remove the penny
from cash transactions or stop minting the penny for a certain number of years failed to become law.
The penny’s downfall came during the COVID-19 pandemic when people liked shopping online using credit cards rather than visiting stores and spending cash; the number of pennies not circulated stacked up enough to break the piggy bank.
Although it might be several years before the penny vanishes completely, the thought of its disappearance may be good news to some while sad news to others. Economists believe it costs too much to make a penny--nearly double what it’s worth. In addition, its value has eroded with inflation.
The other side of the coin lies within people who are emotionally
attached to the pretty penny. Let’s not forget the saying, “See a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck.”
Some consumers who prefer paying with cash in stores say,” Hands off the penny.” After all, the penny represents a mere .006 percent of the money in circulation.
This roving reporter caught up with a few Lincoln Hills residents to offer them a “penny for their thoughts.” Would eliminating the one-cent coin be a “penny wise or a pound foolish?” What makes “cents?”
Jan Marquez, a former 30-year teacher, worked in a restaurant while attending college. She reminisces about the usefulness of the penny whenever she made change for customers. “I think eliminating the penny will cause problems,” she believes.
An opposing argument is taken by Mario Tantillo, a former accountant. “I think the penny is useless,” he says. “Eventually, pennies will dwindle and be of value only to coin collectors.”
No doubt, the penny is part of our vernacular. If we ditch it decades from now, will we buy nickel loafers instead of penny loafers, sing “Quarter Lane” rather than “Penny Lane” by the Beatles, or wish for dimes from heaven instead of pennies? Since time is money, only time will tell.
The penny – love it or lose it

Don’t Fool Yourself
Shirley
Schultz, Roving Reporter
Don’t fool yourself by thinking your blood pressure (BP) is normal because you do not have symptoms or do not feel anything. There are no consistently reliable symptoms to clue you to high BP, which is why high blood pressure, or hypertension in medical terms, is called a “Silent Killer.” No one wants a stroke or heart attack to be the first evidence of hypertension. You can avoid fooling yourself by investing in a BP cuff or a smartwatch so you can obtain
frequent objective readings of your blood pressure.
A rather shocking statement in the September 2024 issue of Women’s Health Advisor from Weil Cornell Medicine reads, “High blood pressure – or hypertension – affects the majority of women over 50.” According to the CDC, hypertension is more prevalent in men than in women. Putting this information in perspective, there may be well over five thousand residents of Lincoln Hills dealing with hypertension. Only fools will avoid trying to keep their BP under control and ignore the potential long-term consequences of stroke, heart attack, damage to the eye blood vessels, or kidney damage.
Normal BP is considered to be 120/80 mmHg or less. Typically
one’s BP fluctuates based on many factors, so a series of readings are required to determine what the general pattern is. Work closely with your healthcare provider if your BP is consistently high. BP more than 180/120 requires emergency evaluation, especially if it is accompanied by vision changes, headaches, confusion, trouble breathing, chest pain, and nausea. In addition to lifestyle changes, there are several categories of medications to keep BP down. Even with lifestyle changes and medications, a significant number of people are unable to keep their BP satisfactorily low. A new treatment option called renal denervation is now available.
Renal denervation (RD), approved by the FDA in 2024, may be used as an adjunct or alternative therapy for uncontrolled hypertension. Renal refers to kidneys, which play a major role in regulating BP by controlling fluid and sodium in the bloodstream and sending signals to the brain to control blood vessel constriction. Renal denervation to help reduce BP is done through a small needle puncture in the groin by an interventional cardiologist and uses ultrasound or radiofrequency energy to decrease overactive nerves on the surface of the renal arteries.
April is not for fools. Check your blood pressure.
Home, Health and Business Showcase: April’s Foolproof One-Stop Shop
David Wright, Roving Reporter
As soon as the doors open, residents pour in and head straight for the complimentary tote bags. They visit each table, filling their bags with candy, trinkets, and brochures. They’re not calendar-confused trick-or-treaters…and this is not an April Fool’s joke. It’s the Home, Health, and Business Showcase where Lincoln Hillians can find everything under one roof to help get our houses, bodies, and affairs
in order. Best of all, the vendors come to us. This free event will be at the Orchard Creek Lodge on April 16 from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Need a bathroom remodel? Come to the Showcase. Need a new golf cart? Come to the Showcase. Need a family trust? Come to the Showcase.
Compass Editor Theresa Renken organizes the annual expo—bringing together resources from throughout the region at absolutely no cost to our Association. She explains, “We are thrilled to have close to 100 vendors providing you with everything from home improvement to travel, fiduciary services, and kittens.”
That’s right—kittens. Every year, there seems to be a live animal presence. Prior guests included a kangaroo, an owl, and a monkey.
Most homes in Lincoln Hills are over 20 years old. No matter
what quality upgrades were originally built, our houses show their age. Searching for reliable contractors can be overwhelming. The Showcase gives us a starting point to speak with multiple vendors and get ideas for tackling those dreaded to-do projects.
Meanwhile those of us in our twilight years would be fooling ourselves to think old age will not eventually bonk us on the head. Medical, dental, and senior care providers will be on hand— allowing us to make the right contacts before we need them. Attorneys, insurance agents, realtors, and fiduciaries will show us how to cover our assets when we are no longer able to make important decisions. Even younger attendees may be interested in researching options for aging family members.
Besides minding our own business, we can mind our own leisure—checking out cruise itineraries, concert schedules, and yoga classes.
The Showcase gives us a chance to stroll through our lodge gathering prospects and collecting free stuff. Those looking for a bargain can usually find it here. Many vendors offer special deals for folks signing up during the event. So, don’t be fooled into missing this opportunity. It might just be fun—and don’t forget about the kittens.

Neighbors InDeed Smoke Alarms - Part Two
Dave Short
Neighbors InDeed is now recommending the First Alert SMI105-AC smoke alarm. Lowes will no longer be carrying smoke alarms with one-year batteries. Smoke alarms with one-year batteries may be available from other vendors.
In the September Compass, we published an article titled, “Let’s Talk About Smoke Alarms.” This article is a follow up.
Why not put them in the kitchen, where most fires happen? There would be too many false alarms. Every time you make toast, the alarm would sound. You don’t need a toast detector.
How do they work? Our smoke alarms are “ionizing” alarms. They have an ionization chamber. Inside the chamber are two charged plates. Between these plates is a small radioactive pellet. The pellet ionizes the air between the plates, and a small current flows between them. When smoke enters

BINGO IN THE BALLROOM
The Lincoln Hills Foundation will be offering Bingo in the Ballroom on Tuesday, April 22. The cost is $25 for 12 games. Winners get $100 per game and $250 for the blackout. Door prizes will be awarded. Daubers and pop-ups are for sale. Bring your own water. No alcoholic beverages are allowed during the games. No one under 18 will be admitted. Doors open at 12:30, and games begin at 1:00 PM. Please email lincolnhillsfoundation@gmail.com to reserve a table for eight.
the chamber, it interferes with the current. The unit senses the voltage drop and sounds the alarm.
Why do smoke alarms need to be replaced every 10 years? The electronic components may fail. Smoke alarms are on 24/7 for 10 years. Not many things in our homes last that long. Also, dust and grease get ionized and stick to the plates. This interferes with the current and causes false alarms.
Why are there so many smoke alarms in my house? California law requires one smoke alarm inside and one outside every sleeping area. A smoke alarm in the hallway can cover two adjacent bedrooms.
Neighbors InDeed will install new smoke alarms. We will refer you to a handyman or electrician for ceilings 12 feet high. Call us at 916-223-2763. Leave a message, and we will call you back Monday –Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Amateur Radio
We participated in the ARRL International DX Contest and made close to 40 contacts. This Single Side Band contest yielded 20 different countries, including Italy, Sweden, France, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Caribbean Islands, and several South American nations. Single Side Band is a mode where the operator speaks into a microphone directly with another station. Our Hams & Coffee get-together generated stimulating conversations and laughs covering diverse topics. Meetings are held at the South Tower every Monday at 6:30 PM. Our club conducts a weekly radio network at 7:00 PM every Monday on the W6LHR Repeater at 147.030 MHz, 167.9 PL. If you are looking for a way to engage in the community and have an interest in amateur radio, please check out the LHARG.

Ballroom Dance
The primary distinction between the two lies in their styles and characteristics. West Coast Swing is a more contemporary form of swing dancing, characterized by an upright posture, smoother movements from a slotted position. East Coast Swing involves partners moving in a circular pattern around each other, and it features a distinctive bounce in the dance.
Sal and Ruth Algeri will be teaching the West Coast Swing during April. The West Coast Swing emerged when Dean Collins, a prominent swing dancer from the East Coast, relocated to Hollywood to pursue a career in the music industry. His unique dance style significantly influenced the development of the West Coast Swing. Sal and Ruth offer both West Coast Swing and East Coast Swing lessons.
We wrap up our spring semester, continuing to explore the Modern Age on April 21. While historians debate its timeframe, we focus on the past 500 years of profound cultural, political, economic, and technological change. We’ll revisit key topics from this semester and examine their connections. On April 28, The New World: Conquest, Reaction, and Rebellion explores how Conquistadores suppressed Indigenous peoples in Latin America, the cultural factors that made them vulnerable, and their responses through resistance and Jerry
Halligan and Ginger Ikuno
rebellion. On May 5, we trace the History of Clocks, from sundials to atomic precision, exploring innovations like water clocks, pendulums, and quartz technology. Join us Mondays on Zoom, 10:00–11:30 AM, as we uncover the patterns that shape history. Don’t miss these final sessions!
Now that the foolishness is over from April 1, it is time to get serious about playing billiards. We offer mentoring sessions every Tuesday at KS. The first session begins at 9:30 AM with signups at 9:15 AM, and the second session begins at 10:30 AM with signups at 10:15 AM. The sessions are for beginner, intermediate, and advanced players. In addition to our mentoring sessions, we offer a variety of tournaments for all levels of play at KS. See our website for schedules. Open play is always available at OC during lodge hours. Come join us for the fun and challenge of billiards!

Bocce Ball
The warm weather is finally here, so we will be switching back to our 8:00 AM starting time on Thursday, May 1. As an incentive to drag you out of bed two hours earlier than the winter months, we will bring donuts. It’s amazing how many players remember the earlier start time when donuts are involved. As always, our bocce group is open to everyone, and we encourage you to join in. There are no dues, and we welcome players of all skill levels. If you’ve never played or it’s been a while, we will pair you with experienced players who are happy to teach you.

June’s book selection is Oath and Honor

Computers
Apple Users
Switching to a new device can be a bit of a learning curve. Until recently, I used both a Kindle and iPad for reading. I’ve put the Kindle away because I find the new mini iPad more convenient for reading and multitasking. During a recent air flight home, I was able to read, play games, write notes, and listen to music on the iPad. If I ever have a technical problem, the Apple User Group has resources I need to fix it, including open labs and a
support phone line. The May 1 meeting will focus on the Health App (central hub for storing and viewing health and fitness). The May 13 meeting will discuss security and passwords. Check club website for details. Contact: Ken Silverman 916-913-6833, LHAUGinfo@icloud.com Website: www.LHAUG.org

Our ride leaders are an essential part of our club, for without them we wouldn’t have organized rides, and we wouldn’t have a club. So, each year we acknowledge their efforts with an appreciation breakfast. As part of the meeting, we updated them on road conditions, safety and laws, and upcoming club events plus getting their feedback and ideas. This year we went to The Waffle Shoppe in downtown Lincoln. Steak and eggs or waffles

It may seem like computer stuff has little to do with playing golf, but for Lincsters, having a smoothly functioning club website means an easier way to sign up for tournaments, join foursomes, find out who won recently, and contact other players without compromising privacy.
That’s the idea behind creating a whole new website on a new platform--Member Planet, a project Kim Schutz took on. “It was fun to learn this new platform,” says Kim. President Jane Hall, Edna Linville, Linda Salmon, and the board assisted in the effort. The new website address is now up--check it out! WNHGA February low net winner is Linda Salmon. April marks the return to early play. Upcoming: Interclub Scramble April 28. Bring A Friend Tournament May 14.

Hikers and Walkers
April is a busy month for club activities. Our walking groups (two pace options offered) continue to get out on the Lincoln Hills trails to enjoy the flora and fauna each week. Hikers have a busy month, with six hikes on the schedule exploring trails from the Sierra foothills to the American River below Folsom Dam. A special mid-month treat is a hike exploring the geology of the American River canyon, which directly led to the abandonment
of proposed dam construction below Auburn. Closing the month is a special multi-day outing to Marin, with various hikes planned for participants. Our new website is in operation, so anyone interested in learning more about walks, hikes, events, or club membership are encouraged to check there for details.

Our snow train trip to Reno was a big success! 25 of us boarded the train in Roseville for a scenic trip through the mountains.

Now that the weather is warming up, we are starting to plan more outdoor activities. We had an afternoon of shuffleboard last month, and this month we are going to the Medical History Museum in Sacramento. We’re also planning a repeat of last

Engagement Chief in appreciation for donations made to military recipients. Plans are underway for the annual spring luncheon on May 13 and the theme of Flower Power will hopefully encourage members to dress retro 1960s.

Sports Cars
The adage, “The only thing constant is change,” applies here. President Dan Roberts resigned due to health issues, and a former President was elected to take over. We appreciate Chuck Schmidt for assuming this position. Despite rain being forecast, our first ride of 2025 occurred
on March 13. Fourteen cars participated in a sunny cruise along the scenic Delta, culminating in Rio Vista. Members observed the spring scenery of the Delta, blooming fruit trees, and fields of wild mustard. The day concluded with a delicious meal at The Point Restaurant. For April, three trips are planned, including a ride to Jackson for lunch, a visit to the Lockeford-Sausage Market, and trips to the Preston Castle in Ione and the Sutter Buttes through the Capay Valley.

We are mourning the passing of the Pillsbury Dough Boy as a result of a yeast infection and numerous pokes in the belly. He was buried in a lightly greased coffin. He was born and raised in Minnesota and described by many as a man that never knew how much he was kneaded even though his life was filled with turnovers. Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, and three children, John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dosey Dough. In lieu of flours please consider “doughnating” to The Yeast Foundation. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Woodcarvers regular meetings are held in the Sierra Room at (KS) on Wednesdays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.
Since high school graduation, my classmates and my twin and I spent 55 years skidding around corners and laughing at the ‘Slow Down’ signs. From the first high school reunion of party hats and kazoos to this year’s reunion, the Class of 1970 shockingly aged. How? What happened? Even the Homecoming King and Queen have wrinkles, gray hair, and liver spots. At the last reunion, we’ll wonder, ‘Where are the Sand Dunes, the Boomer Theater, HoJo’s, and the Rancho Drive-in restaurant where the Crewson Brothers’ cruised in their Chevy Nomad?’ Write a poem or story (less than 1,300 words) about your high school ‘daze.’ Bring 14 copies to share. We meet on the second and fourth Mondays from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Computer Room (OC).
