ASSOCIATION NEWS Board of Directors’ Report Reneé Plummer, Board Secretary Yesterday I walked through the doors of Orchard Creek Lodge, struck again by how beautiful this place is. But what caught my attention wasn’t the flowers or the grounds—it was what I couldn’t see. It was an ordinary day, yet our reservation system showed 35 rooms booked, set up, and broken down at Orchard Creek Lodge alone—a card group, then a meeting, then a celebration. Seven days a week, in both lodges. That number made me think about all that happens behind the scenes—from recreation facilities and programs to nearly 500 acres of open space— and the people who make it possible. None of it happens on its own. Staff across every department work quietly behind the scenes. Alongside board and committee

members and volunteers supporting clubs, activities, and events, they help make Sun City Lincoln Hills the community we enjoy. As summer winds down and we admire the flowers blooming along the walkways, it’s worth appreciating the people behind that beauty. I’m a few months into my second year on the Board, still learning, still grateful for the friends and community that welcomed me in. My hope: to leave this place as well cared for as I found it. Maybe that’s why 35 stayed with me—not the number, but the people it represents. The custodian. The setup crew. The groundskeeper. The server. The person behind the desk. The volunteer at the event. The IT and communications staff who keep us connected. Su n Cit y Li ncol n Hills feels like home because of people like them.

A Note from the Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director August brings us into the heart of the Association’s annual budget process. The first budget workshops were held on July 28 and 30, providing the Board with an initial review of departmental budgets, reserve funding, staffing needs, and anticipated expenses for the coming year. The proposed budget will be presented to the community during workshops on August 25 and 31. These workshops provide residents with an opportunity to learn about the Association’s financial priorities, the factors affecting expenses, and how assessment dollars support our facilities, services, programs, and amenities. Final budget approval is anticipated for September 24. As we develop the budget, we must balance affordability with our responsibility to maintain facilities, adequately fund reserves, retain qualified employees, and plan for the community’s longterm needs. Insurance, utilities, labor, materials,

contracted services, and maintenance costs continue to rise. We are also monitoring California Senate Bill 1007, the “Fair and Affordable HOAs Act.” The current bill would generally limit annual regular assessment increases to 8% without approval from a majority of the membership. Current law allows boards to increase regular assessments by up to 20% without a membership vote. As of this writing, the bill has not advanced in the Assembly. Its first hearing before the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, scheduled for June 24, was canceled at the author’s request. The bill remains active and could be amended or reconsidered. We will continue to monitor SB 1007 and provide updates. I also encourage residents to participate in the August budget workshops and learn more about the financial decisions that support the long-term health of our community.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Architectural Review Committee Nature’s Color Palette Marie Barnes, ARC Chair Warm off-whites, accent colors in whites, dusty blues, greens, offreds, and grays. Are these colors in nature or in the Association-approved paint palettes? Trick question! The colors are in both and that is by design. During the planning phase of Sun City Lincoln Hills, Del Webb and the City of Lincoln signed a 96-page document listing how the community would be set out. A major part of that document set what our housing and landscape standards would be. This document set a majority of the standards for our community. For housing, it specifies the theme (aesthetic) still enforced today. While looking at homes here in Sun City Lincoln Hills, the theme is very noticeable. We have a nature theme that fits right into our wonderful trails and open spaces. Most HOAs have a specific theme. Ours is a soothing, Zen feel. The approved

paint palettes used are a large part of staying consistent to that theme, no matter what village you’re in. If you look around the neighborhoods, you should not be jarred by purple homes or homes that don’t seem to match the rest. If you are wanting to be “unique”, an HOA may not be for you. Occasionally, the paint palettes are reviewed and updated, however, the colors will remain a muted palette of colors listed above. This also helps with keeping our resale values high. We have residents that bought their homes 27 years ago and new owners just moving in. The theme is for the ent ire communit y and requires that all homes and neighborhoods be kept to the same standard. Guidelines may change over time, but previously approved palettes will remain acceptable. In following these standards, you are being a part of the wonderful community we call home.

Communications and Community Relations Committee SCLH’s Community Forum Series Patricia Woolery, CCRC Member We are looking for speakers for our upcoming community forums. Some of the topics that were well received by our community in previous forums were travel themes, historical venues and health focused. Fun and enjoyable topics are always welcome as well. All of our forums are held at KS Presentation Hall. The room holds 150 guests. All presentations are recorded and posted to our Association’s website for later viewing by our residents. The KS Presentation Hall accommodates the audience’s participation in the Question and Answer (Q and A) portion that follows each presentation. Altogether, the presentations are about 60 minutes. Some of our speakers were from within our own community, Sun City Lincoln Hills. They shared interesting and engaging topics with our residents. We welcome others that haven’t yet participated but have something interesting and engaging to 6

share. The presenters always show their originality by using slides or PowerPoint. We have the expertise to accommodate most technical requirements. We provide: • A moderator that will do the introductions and handle the logistics for the Q and A session; • All room and technical requirements; • The publicity by advertising in our Compass Magazine in the Community Perks Section and in eNews. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a speaker or if you would like to refer a person or business with a story that our community would be interested in hearing more about. For more information and further discussion about what we are looking for and available dates, please contact Linda Franklin, Community Forum Coordinator by sending an email to linda. franklin92@gmail.com. Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Finance Committee June Financial Report Fred Raach, Chair Net operating expenses in June were $1,121,322, $20,000 more than budgeted, which produced net operating expenses $19,000 more than budgeted for the first six months. Gross operating revenue in June was $22,000 less than budgeted and gross operating expenses were $2,000 under budget. Significant expense changes in June were: The cost of sales was $17,000 less than budgeted, personnel expenses were $42,000 less than budgeted, administrative expenses were $60,000 more than budgeted, landscape maintenance was $19,000 less than budgeted, and maintenance, supplies and repairs were $20,000 more than budgeted. The chart below shows where each department stands compared to its budget for the first six months of this year. The comments below highlight the changes from May 31 to June 30. The Administration Department paid legal expenses in June, which was $44,000 more than budgeted. Due to timing differences, it also booked election expenses and printing service costs totaling $16,000 more than budgeted. Personnel expenses were $18,000 less than budgeted due to open positions. Lifestyle’s June revenue was $5,200 less than budgeted, primarily due to lower income from trips. Lifestyle personnel expenses were $6,000 less than budgeted and other expenses were $3,000 less than budgeted.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs had $1,600 less than budgeted gross revenue which was more than offset by savings in cost of sales and personnel expense, producing net revenue for the month $7,800 more than budgeted. WellFit’s revenue was $1,700 under budget and personnel expenses were $2,400 over budget. Other expenses were $3,000 under budget. Food and Beverage June revenue, less cost of sales, was $6,800 smaller than budgeted and personnel costs were $2,000 less than budgeted. Other expenses were $6,300 over budget. Facilities and Landscaping expenses in June were $23,000 less than budgeted, principally due to $13,000 savings in personnel expense from turnover, and a net of $10,000 under budget for all other expenses. At the end of June, the reserve fund balance was $14.1 million, an increase of $675,000 since year end 2025. Additions to the fund from contributions and investments were $1.637 million reduced by $624,000 year-to-date expenditures. Thirty-two reserve projects have been approved in the first six months for a total amount of $943,000. The Community Enhancement Fund, available for new projects, was $389,000 at the end of June. Of this amount, $92,267 is shown as committed to the Pickleball shade structure, which will be significantly reduced when the Club’s donation is booked.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Properties Committee A Closer Look at Meridians Michael Mazikowski, Chair Meridians Restaurant remains one of t he com mu n it y’s most popular gathering places, and in June, the Committee, led by member Jerry Tousend, completed its latest inspection to ensure the venue continues to meet the standards residents expect. Overall, Meridians is in good condition, with only a handful of areas identified for improvement. Even small details matter in a space that welcomes guests daily, and the committee’s observations highlight opportunities to enhance both function and atmosphere. The restrooms were the first stop, where inspectors noted the need for a paint refresh to brighten the space. A few maintenance items, including mops and temporary paper signs taped to towel dispensers, should be removed to maintain a polished appearance. Partition wall brackets also require repair. In the reception area, exposed electronic cables should be concealed, and the reception stool is due for replacement. The recently installed carpet is showing visible soil from daily use, prompting a

recommendation for more frequent deep cleaning. The ongoing issue of dining room chair cushion failures remains under review, and the Committee sees an opportunity to refresh the dining room’s artwork and décor to add color and vibrancy. The Sports Bar is currently being studied for a significant renovation aimed at improving functionality and supporting revenue growth. Concepts include new refrigeration, additional beer taps, expanded staff workspace, and sound reduction measures. The committee recommends removing the unused glass partition and door between the restaurant and Sports Bar and replacing them with a sound rated wall equipped with electrical outlets for a monitor. Finally, the committee suggests exploring better solutions for product box storage in the hallway between the kitchen and restaurant. Residents can stay informed by attending the Committee’s monthly meeting on the first Thursday of each month, 9:00 AM at the KS Presentation Hall or via Zoom.

ASSOCIATION NEWS WellFit News National Wellness Month Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director August is National Wellness Month, a perfect time to focus on the many areas of our health that help us stay active, independent, and confident. Wellness is more than exercise; it includes strength, balance, heart health, cognitive health, and areas we may not always feel comfortable talking about, such as pelvic health. Pelvic health plays an important role in our everyday lives. The pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel, and core and contributes to balance, posture, and movement. As we age, changes in pelvic floor strength can impact both women and men. Understanding these changes and learning how to support pelvic health can help improve confidence and overall quality of life. Join Karla Trotta for an informative discussion on pelvic health and why it deserves a place in your overall wellness routine. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and better understand an area of health that is often overlooked.

For more information on pelvic health, please refer to the ad below. We are also excited to offer a special National Wellness Month event designed to explore the essential pillars of health through movement and education. Participants will rotate through interactive stations focused on strength, cardio, balance, flexibility, cognitive health, and healthy lifestyle habits. WellFit Trainer Gina and MaryAnn will guide participants through the stations, providing education, encouragement, and practical tips that can be incorporated into everyday life. National Wellness Month is a reminder that small steps can make a big difference. Take time to learn something new, move your body, and focus on the areas of wellness that will help you continue doing the things you love. For more information on our National Wellness Month event, refer to the Compass and check your weekly eNews for the latest WellFit offerings.

RV pioneers ready for “Wagons Ho!”

Meeting Your New Best Friends

you can strike up a conversation with a fellow bleacher buddy while cheering on your favorite team. A lazy afternoon fishing at Angler’s Cove can net new chums exchanging stories about “the one that got away.” Every Thursday during the summer, “Happy Hour at the Pool” gives you the opportunity to bond while sipping, dipping, and dripping to the oldies. Whether it be during formal events or just daily visits, quite a few friendships are formed hanging around the pool and jacuzzi.

David Wright, Roving Reporter Most Sun City Lincoln Hills residents remember the awkwardness of starting a new life in a new city. Moving here from other regions, many left their lifelong friends behind. With no pre-existing connection to our community, just how do new residents rebuild their circle of friends? The answer might be easier than you think.

Having a ball during “Happy Hour at the Pool”

Join clubs. Clubs bring you close to those sharing a common i nterest. Spor ts c lubs l i ke Pickleball and Tennis are conducive to courting new playmates.

Casual chats while crafting may be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Playing table games builds a bridge to new partnerships. Dancing and music groups allow you to meet with a beat. Non-weary travelers can pal around with the RV, Sports Car, Motorcycle, Bicycle, or Hiking clubs for fun excursions beyond our gates. For those flying solo, t he Si ngles Group mag ically turns strangers into friends. Residents dealing with health and aging issues can join support groups where confidants help conquer those feelings of isolation. There is even a group for caregivers. A lot of friendships brew while venting over a cup of coffee. If you are not into the club scene, taking classes and bus trips introduce you to potential sidekicks. At Del Webb Field, even if you do not play softball,

Making friends in Friendship Park

Many villages in our community arrange gatherings to promote neighborhood harmony. Li z Taylor, Lea h Gre en a nd Kimberly Bellissimo-Andersen recently organized a hot dog picnic for Village 18 residents at Friendship Park. To encourage the 50 villagers in attendance to meet their neighbors, everyone had to interview three new acquaintances they made there. Filling in their interview cards was a prerequisite to filling up their plates. Sk i m t h roug h Compa ss to get the scoop on clubs, events, act ivit ies, trips, and classes.

Friendship: Bridging Living Long and Living Well Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter

Living long is a goal for most people, but living long with good quality of life can be challenging. Many studies have shown social connection to be one of the strongest predictors of longevity. A landmark analysis of data from over 300,000 participants published in the PLoS Medicine Journal in 2010 found that people with strong social ties had a 50% increased chance of living about 7.5 years longer compared to

those who were socially isolated. Just as babies require being held and cuddled and hearing a comforting voice in order to thrive, adults need similar to avoid what was recently written on the death certificate of an older woman, “Failure to Thrive”. Sun City Lincoln Hills is a microcosm of this reality: those who have friends and socialize extensively, and those who are alone in the crowd. Friendship is a precious gift we can offer each other to help bridge the gap between isolation and connectedness. Friendship has specific elements, elements requiring buy-in on the part of each participant. Being reliable and honest serves as the foundation for the element of trust. Communication requires sharing thoughts and feelings and active listening. Support requires celebrating successes and being there for each other

during difficult times. Shared interests evolve from engaging in activities and hobbies together. The element of respect requires friends to honor boundaries, individual differences, and opinions of others. Finally, the ability to understand and validate each other’s emotions and experiences stems from empathy. The opposite of social connection or friendship is isolation or loneliness. Loneliness can activate the body’s stress response contributing to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and cancer. Loneliness weakens the immune system and accelerates ag i ng, whereas soc ial connection dampens the stress response leading to the opposite effect on immunity and aging. Technology has transformed soc ia l con nec t ion i n today’s world. On one hand, it enables people to reduce loneliness and strengthen bonds via video calls, texting, social media, and other virtual connections. On the other hand, if people are unable to access digital connection or if it becomes a substitute for deeper face-to-face interactions, it leaves people young and old feeling more isolated. We humans need eye contact, to hear a kind voice, or to feel a hug or a pat on the back. What a paradox that we can now be more connected than ever in quantity and yet starved for quality connection. It is more important than ever to nurture friendships to help bridge the gap.

Fire Safety Tips and an Opportunity to Ask the Experts Judie Panneton, Neighborhood Watch “Have a plan,” Lincoln Fire Chief Anthony Mejia recently told residents at a Neighborhood Watch safety presentation in KS Presentation Hall. The planning refers to medical emergencies, home evacuations, fall prevention and battery storage, among other potential life-threatening situations. Have a list of medicine and emergency contacts in a bag in your refrigerator? How about a go bag with medication, documents, chargers, etc.? Know how to prevent falls in your home and how to contact firefighters if you can’t get up? What about storing

and disposing of batteries? Get the answers in the presentation video at sclhwatch.org. If you missed this event and have questions you’d like to ask fire, police, and county emergency services experts, mark your calendars for October 6. A free, National Night Out event is scheduled from 4:00-7:00 PM at the Sports Pavillion and it will include information, times for questions, and lots of fun and food and refreshments. One of the many attractions of Sun City Lincoln Hills for prospective buyers is its level of

safety thanks, in part, to neighbors looking out for neighbors and our community’s strong working relationship with the Lincoln Police and Fire Departments. Did you know that Neighborhood Watch was established in May of 2000 by a small group of residents who organized watch teams based on mailbox locations? Today, Mailbox Captains serve 595 mail stations and village Coordinators work on your behalf, too. The volunteer workers’ and the group’s efforts are aimed at reducing crime and increasing personal safety.

CLUB NEWS RV I’l l be honest w it h you. I thought I had seen and done everything around Angels Camp, California. So, when our Club scheduled a rally there, I figured I would just kick back and enjoy the wonderful weat her a nd RV camaraderie. We toured the magnificent Calaveras Big Tr e e s , h i k e d arou nd New Melones Lake, ate a fabulous catered Italian dinner, explored Mercer Caverns, and enjoyed a huge bonfire. But I was most pleasa nt ly su r pr ised by ou r private tour of the Angels Camp Museum. I highly recommend it! That’s the beauty of our club.
