Board of Directors’ Report
Denny Valentine, Secretary
As a follow-up to my last article, I want to provide more information on the fiscal consequences for the Association, and frankly to each one of its members, when it has to respond to or initiate legal action to protect the Association. Fallacious accusations filed with government agencies by a very small number of our members cost each one of us and is essentially neighbors suing neighbors.
In 2023, we spent $22,265 for legal representation that was required to get our story told to the judicial bodies dealing with each individual matter. So far, these issues have been reconciled in the Association’s favor. Still, others will continue into 2024 and beyond, each adding to our legal costs and potentially your financial obligation as a resident.
Time and resources would be better spent if issues were brought directly to the Executive
Director or the Board of Directors to get the facts and reconcile concerns. Often issues are based on a lack of knowledge, misunderstanding, or misinterpretation of the governing documents. However, for this process to succeed, all parties must approach it with an open mind, address the issues, and not make it personal.
The work of the attorneys is predicated on information they receive from our staff, committees, and professional support, and this work has a cost. Staff takes time that could otherwise be spent furthering the goals and objectives of the Association, and lawyers love billable hours.
Sharing these thoughts keeps our membership better informed that the actions of a few individuals have an impact that has a broader reach than what may be seen on the surface. Social media has its merits, but facts can get lost in the emotions. Check the validity of what you see, verify the source, and reach out if you have concerns.
A Note from the Executive Director
Kyle
Bodyfelt,
Executive Director and the Strategic Planning Team
Del Webb created an amazing development in the hills of Lincoln that cannot be matched or recreated to the scale and level at today’s very affordable member assessment. As part of the Strategic Plan, we have been taking the time to seek resident input on where Lincoln Hills wants to be in the next 5-10 years and beyond. The old saying of ‘failing to plan is planning to fail’ is certainly true when advancing the health of a 25-year-old large-scale active adult community. Strategic Planning provides a roadmap for the community to continue to thrive and a tool for the governance, operations, and improvements needed.
Through thirteen focus groups and flash surveys, all residents have been given the opportunity to provide input into the development of the Strategic Plan. Everyone who wanted to attend was allowed to participate and share their thoughts, and it became clear that residents are aligned in their priorities. With that feedback and understanding
of the general direction, the Board has endorsed the Association Strategy Statement. Key components of the Strategy Statement include the following focus areas: Operations and Governance, Operational Efficiencies, and Plan for the Future.
The Association Strategy Statement:
• Fix the Base – ensure a solid operational base of processes and structure that is efficient, robust, and manageable.
• Improve the Base – achieve operational excellence through improved productivity, cost efficiencies, and laser focus on essential projects while keeping dues under control.
• Build on the Base - create, adopt, and fund a market-driven, community-wide Master Plan through a comprehensive understanding of current and potential future residents’ interests and needs.
The final Strategic Plan will meet the above statements, be woven into everything we do, and will be reviewed and updated annually. You are welcome to provide questions or comments at SP@sclhca.com.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Rocks
George Herrmann, Vice Chair
March 19 is National Laugh Day. Seriously, who knew? A story comes to mind. In one of those multicultural neighborhoods in New York City, there was a church, a synagogue, and a protestant place of worship on opposite corners of an intersection. Every week, the priest and the rabbi went fishing. They never asked the minister. He always wondered why. On a whim one day, they asked the minister to join them. They drove to the lake, got the boat, and motored away from shore. Suddenly, the priest said that he had forgotten the fishing tackle. He said that he would be right back. He stepped off the side of the boat, walked across the water, and returned with the fishing tackle. The minister was perplexed. At lunchtime, the rabbi, finding no lunch, remembered that he left
it in the car. The rabbi stepped off the side of the boat, walked across the water, and returned with the lunch. The minister was feeling a little left out and believed his faith was as strong as theirs. He made an excuse, stepped off the side of the boat, and immediately sank right to the bottom. He nearly drowned, but they pulled him back into the boat. He sat quietly, choking and dripping wet. The priest looked at the rabbi and said, “Do you think that we should tell him where the rocks are?” Long time residents familiar with the more than 80 clubs and community organizations know where the “rocks” are. Rather than watching new residents stumble over them, why not take the time to guide them to put their feet in the right places and keep them afloat? Have some laughs. Make March 19 last the year.
Accessibility Committee Thank You
June Paquette, Chair
With the Accessibility Committee being sunsetted, we would like to thank the residents who have served along with the staff, committees, and groups that collaborated with us.
Many modifications have been made over the last two and a half years. Some include removing curbs at our main lodge entrances, adding buttons/ bars that electronically open doors, and adding railings, pool lifts, safety mats, etc.
Additionally, WellFit Exercise passes can now be extended due to medical issues. In the aerobics room most hearing aids will receive the instructor’s voice. We also have new hearing assist devices for the Presentation Hall and Ballroom, along with a process to request the device that works best for you. These modifications help not only the requestor but also other residents, potentially our future selves. All of us are one accident or one diagnosis away from needing to interact with the world differently.
If there are obstacles on Association property
or part of the Association offerings, residents can request a modification through the Executive Director. In addition to modification requests, the Accessibility Committee learned a lot about available resources and have posted them online. There are so many that the government now has a phone number to call for non-emergency assistance - 211.
If transportation is an issue, Lincoln Hills Foundation subsidizes a Dial-A-Ride program for Lincoln Hills residents. A 20-ticket packet for $10 is available for medical appointments, shopping, etc., within Lincoln, including Lincoln Hills. For purchases, contact the Dial-A-Ride Coordinator at 916-543-8436.
The Accessibility Committee has been very productive in its two and half years. If we work together, sharing what we have learned, the benefits of this committee will live on. Thank you from current/past Accessibility Committee Chairs/Vice Chairs, June Paquette, Judie Panneton, Don Nelson and Laura Thiele.

Compliance Committee
Community Review Program
Roz Odell, Chair
Spring is just around the corner, and residents begin to look at their landscaping, checking that it is compliant with the Design Guidelines. Remember we are here to help you figure this out. Just give us a call at the Community Standards Department and make an appointment. Someone will be happy to come to your home and answer your concerns.
This is also when we begin to plan the Community Review Program (CRP). With the past staff shortages, we have not been able to process this large project in its entirety. We hope to correct this in 2024. We thought that reminding you about this review and what it entails would be helpful, especially to those new residents.
We will be checking landscaping this spring, and that will include a front yard street tree and
two side yard trees for corner lots. Please remember that plantings can go under trees if foliage is not low to the ground. Your landscape should have no dead plants or weeds and show reasonable trimming. Plants must be kept less than four feet tall. The coverage percentages for each area are turf is 50% maximum, plants 50% minimum, and rock 25% maximum. We use these percentages for each area, along the areas on either side of your driveway and the side yards of corner lots. Bark should cover all dirt and irrigation lines. Safety issues such as visibility will also be considered.
We will be posting a schedule informing you when your village will be reviewed.
Please feel free to contact the committee if you have any questions about any compliance concerns. We will be glad to help.
Architectural Review Committee
We Are Here to Help
Greg Kevin, Chair
After a brief absence from the Compass, we are back better than ever. The committee has undergone a change in members, but I am happy to report that the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is back to full strength with ten members. During this transition, we have spent considerable time training and bringing the committee members up to speed on the Association rules, regulations, and processes. Our focus is on helping residents navigate the ARC process.
We recently received an email from a concerned resident who asked, “Who are the actual decision makers? What are their qualifications to make these decisions? Where in the governing documents is it written that the ARC is anointed with these kind of specific requirements, demands, and authority?”.
Rest assured, we are simply all volunteers
who are also your neighbors. The ARC members were appointed to the committee by the Board of Directors. The Association’s governing document clearly spells out the necessity of the ARC and its duties and responsibilities. To be honest, we have no qualifications other than the desire to help our fellow residents through the application process and to demonstrate the patience to help applicants understand and follow our governing documents.
Allow me the liberty to quote from President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address: “-and that a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
Truly, isn’t that who we are as Lincoln Hills? We are an association of the people, by the people, for the people. We are the ARC because you allow us to be the ARC. We are here to help. We can be reached at ARC@sclhca.com.

Finance Committee
Strong January Performance
Fred Raach, Chair
January’s financial results were positive. Net revenue was $40,000 higher than had been projected when the budget was approved last September. Association operating revenue was $581,000, $58,000 (11%) larger than had been projected. Dues revenue of $1,099,000 produced total revenue of $1,680,000. Expenses were $1,632,000, only $18,000 more than had been budgeted.
All departments beat their January revenue projections, with the exception of Communication and IT, which missed its target by less than $3,000.
January and subsequent months’ expense levels are benefiting from a number of positive developments occurring after the budget was approved. The Director of Finance negotiated a 22% reduction in credit card processing fees late last year. The change to the new security service company reduced this cost by 24%. The Association’s insurance program premiums were 11% below what had been expected in the budget. The decision to find a lower cost option for storage space and the delay in PG&E’s rate increases also contributed to the good results in January. In total, these items reduced January expenses by $34,000.
Personnel costs in January, however, were $33,000 larger than budgeted. Only two of the seven
departments, Food and Beverage and Facilities and Landscaping, had personnel costs at or below the budgeted level. A significant portion of the overages in Lifestyle, WellFit, and the Spa at Kilaga Springs were associated with higher-than-budgeted revenues in those departments. Landscape and general maintenance, supplies, and repairs were over budget due to additional projects and expenses budgeted for later in the year occurring in January.
The chart below shows how each department’s performance in January compares to what was budgeted. Particularly notable is Food and Beverage, which last year was $54,000 over budget in January and this year is almost $19,000 better than budget, from increased revenue and effective control of food, personnel, and other expenses.
The Director of Finance, working with our investment advisor, is continuing to take advantage of the high-interest rates available on short-term, secure investments for operating cash, CEF funds and Reserve funds. While the bulk of the Reserve fund ($11.6 million) remains invested longer term at lower rates, $1.0 million of recent contributions have been invested in a short-term Treasury fund with a current yield of 5.2% to increase the overall return on the reserve account and provide readily accessible funds for current expenditures.

Donald (Don) Bowden Personal Information
As a 7 ½ year resident, I am currently serving as Treasurer of the Board of Directors. My career was in the High-Tech industry at a Fortune 50 corporation. I interacted with a broad spectrum of individuals with diverse perspectives and agendas.
I have experience of traveling extensively for work, interacting with CEOs, other cultures, and highranking government officials from around the world.
In retirement I have continued my enjoyment of travel. I am an avid motorcyclist and have taken several cross-country road trips including one to the Arctic circle and I combine my travel with my hobby of photography, here in Sun City walking the trails and while I am on the road.
Community Involvement
I was president of the Road Runners Motorcycle Club here in Sun City until I was elected to the Board, am still active in the club and currently hold the position of Road Captain. I have also served as Web-Master for the Lincoln Hills Foundation.
David Conner
I was conceived on the Fourth of July, 1942. I had a pretty teenage mother to help me grow up while my dad was building runways in the South Pacific. After a post war childhood and unremarkable school record, I struck out on my own at 17 years old.
I yearned to have a good, loving family and to have more money than the Kennedys. I joined the service and quickly found through Navy placement testing that I was quite capable. In 1964, finishing at Moffett Field, I married my wife who was graduating from San Jose State. Married at 21, I started to work in a large manufacturing company. I was transferred and promoted so fast that I didn’t have time for college until I was 30. My experience has been Industrial Relations, Production Management, and Association BODs.
My wife and I soon bought a three-acre ranchette that backed up to Highway 101 in San Martin. It was our second California property, plus some rentals.
I stopped working at age 53 and continue to thrive on investment income. We moved to SCLH on February 8th, 2006. I have served on the Association Board 6 years and was President in 2019.
My Attention Deficit Disorder is in check.

Joanne Mitchell
Born and raised in Stafford Springs, Connecticut, I was married and a mother at a very young age. I decided that when my son started first grade, I would also begin college studies. I was able to complete all the requirements in 3 years, with a major in Chemistry, graduating from the University of Connecticut. I then went on to Uconn Medical School, graduating in 1975. Having majored in chemistry, it was an easy choice to specialize in both Laboratory and Anatomic Pathology, and I became board certified in both.
As a third-year medical student, driving to the hospital in the early morning hours in the winter, a car slid into the side of my own, and at that instant I decided that we would move to California. I arranged to finish med school at UCSF and we moved to Cal in December of 1974. I also did my residency in San Francisco in the 70’s, a very colorful and interesting time in the history of the city.
I worked in Los Gatos for several years, then moved to Sacramento area, where I worked at American River Hospital until it closed.
I have lived in Sun City Lincoln Hills for 24 years. My hobbies and interests include world travel, cooking, shooting pool, and duplicate bridge. I am the proud grandmother of three, and greatgrandmother of 4.

Comedy Nights and Beyond
Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager
March 19 is National “Let’s Laugh Day,” and I love that this month’s issue is a salute to it. I believe that laughter is the best medicine in life, so I strive to laugh every day. Some days may offer just a giggle, while others give opportunities for full-on belly laughs. We try to offer various lifestyle activities and experiences that can provide laughs to all those who are open and looking for them.
Beyond our KS Comedy Nights, many of our concerts and events get folks laughing. Our “Jolly Celtic Folk and Fare Event” on March 15 is one such event. The Lions of the North trio are as funny as they are musical. Entertainment at its best!
A bus trip coming up will be sure to offer the warmest and fuzziest of laughs. Join Scott on May 18 to Grass Valley to see Chris Perondi’s Stunt Dog Experience. Another trip to experience with
your children and grandchildren (age six and over), which is sure to have everyone rolling, is “The SpongeBob Musical” production presented by Music Circus on June 25.
Coming soon, we are debuting a new theater class instructor who will be teaching an Improv class. There is nothing like improv to bring out humor and joy in folks. Look for that class offering, as well as a Beginning Acting class, in late spring.
It is not only Lifestyle/Association events that bring great laughs. The Performing Arts Consortium, consisting of the four performing arts clubs (Chorus, Players, Tap and Vaudeville), presents wonderful productions entirely run and performed by volunteers, your friends, and neighbors. Plan to attend the Players production in June and the Vaudeville production in July. Laughs are guaranteed!

Smile Lines: How to Restore Youthful Skin
KarriLynn Keith, Spa Manager
Isn’t it ironic that the more we smile and laugh, the more pronounced our lines become? But facial expressions are not the only cause. Our facial foundation sags and leads to the development and deepening of wrinkles with age. The reason why we get laugh lines is because we lose elasticity and
The good news is that you can turn back the hands of time and renew a more youthful appearance. The best advice any skincare expert will share is to replenish your ABCs. I know that can sound confusing, but let me elaborate. Certain topical vitamins can stimulate cellular growth and reduce aging. Here are my favorite skincare vitamins.
AHAs and BHAs are natural exfoliants, including combinations of alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids that help soften dryness and naturally exfoliate skin cells. This process reveals more
hydrated, youthful skin while reducing dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Anti-aging skincare vitamins A’s and C’s. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects and defends our skin by neutralizing free radicals. Vitamin C can improve skin tone and texture, brightening dark spots, promoting collagen production, and brightening dull skin.
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A which is used to renew skin cells, protect collagen, and plump up the skin’s deeper layers to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and visible pores. Not only does it improve lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, treat acne, and soften rough patches, but it also improves overall skin texture and tone.
If you wonder where to find these amazing vitamins, our Dr. Dennis Gross and HydroPeptide lines feature the best of these ingredients. Stop by, and we will introduce you to a more youthful and beautiful you!

Singles Club Builds Laughing Friendships
David Wright, Roving Reporter
For a single person, venturing out can be awkward—from dining under the imaginary spotlight at a restaurant table-for-one to playing the role of the third wheel at social gatherings to politely eschewing friends’ offers to fix them up with their “perfect match.” The routine for a single person often includes making excuses to avoid stepping outside their comfort zone.
But in one Lincoln Hills club, one is the happiest number. Being
single is so celebrated by the Singles Group club members have been known to forgo marriage just to stay in the group. Now, at 300 members, this group is all about having fun with other solo residents without the “eHarmony stigma.” This is not a dating club, though some members do meet their next beau here.
Club president Sarah Lambrose explains, “We aim to create an atmosphere in which single people can interact, relate, and socialize in a friendly, safe environment and develop lasting friendships.”
Sarah retired from a career counseling high school students in Southern California. In 2005, following a divorce after 30 years of marriage, she decided she needed a change of scenery. Her daughter told her about our
community. Sarah hopped on a plane, made an offer on a house, joined the Singles Group, and has “never been happier.”
Whenever singles mingle with the Singles, they form a laughing bond. Calendars are filled with monthly birthday celebrations, dining-out socials, and walk-in breakfasts. Special events include dances, “games on the move,” a New Year’s Eve Gala, a Super Bowl Bash, talent shows, and auctions. The club supports local businesses while keeping activity costs down to encourage participation by those on fixed incomes.
Three subgroups meet weekly to play bocce, golf, and shuffleboard. One baseball fan organizes bus trips to Sacramento River Cats games. Even business meetings end with a table-top horserace played with dice and hand-carved wooden “horsies.”
“I can’t tell you the joy I get when I can help a brand-new resident feel welcomed into our group,” Sarah adds. “We have an open door for new members. People arrive at our functions as strangers and leave as friends.”
Sarah has found her niche in organizing fun events and bringing everyone together. She likens the club to her career working with high schoolers— “only these teenagers have wrinkles.” Whether widowed, divorced, or just plain uncommitted, Lincoln Hills Singles enjoy their active adult laugh style.

The Healing Power of Laughter
Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter
Do this now. Take in a slow, deep breath, and then let it out through your mouth in rapid audible sounds like ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Now do it again, but this time with the corners of your mouth turned upward and with audible sounds like he, he, he, he, he. This is simulated laughter. If you are in a public place, look around to see if anyone may have succumbed to laughter, as laughter is contagious.
This exercise is in preparation for National Let’s Laugh Day on March 19. Take some time out to laugh that day and every day. Consider adding a laughing baby ringtone to your phone. Watch one or more YouTube videos about Yoga Laughter to spur you into a session of real or fake laughter. Laughter Yoga International is the official website of Dr. Madan Kataria, a laughter guru when it comes to laughter and health. That site offers a Zoom Laughter Club, which may interest you. Explore Laughter Online University to learn much more about laughing matters.
Extensive research has been done regarding the healing power of laughter and humor. Humor is a stimulus, such as a joke, which evokes a response. Laughter is the physical reaction to humor.
Develop a sense of humor so you will laugh more. The two most beneficial types of laughter are genuine (spontaneous) laughter or self-induced (simulated) laughter. These types are the most studied for their effects on health and well-being.
• Laughter is a powerful remedy for sadness and depression. Physiologically, it stimulates the release of hormones called endorphins in our brains, making us feel happy.
• Pain tolerance is increased by laughter. People with a more cheerful, positive attitude tolerate pain better than those with a depressed, negative attitude.
• Mindful laughter decreases blood pressure. This is good news for those who have been diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Laughter in a social setting helps build and retain relationships. Everyone wants to feel connected, and laughter is one of the best glues to bring that about.
Laughter is often touted as the best medicine. Norman Cousins is famous for describing the key to his recovery due to a powerful drug called laughter in his book Anatomy of an Illness. Start laughing now.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. He, he, he, he, he.

Laugh it Up! Comedy Comes to Town
Linda Luccheti, Roving Reporter
“Knock, knock”
“Who’s there?”
“Letuce”
“Letuce who?”
“Letuce Laugh Day!”
Celebrated on March 19, the unofficial holiday, “Let’s Laugh Day,” is destined to encourage people to laugh more and realize the benefits.
Lincoln Hills’ residents have oodles of opportunities to laugh
at loads of comedy like stand-up or improv. Sure, they could drive into Sacramento to clubs like Punch Line or Comedy Spot. Or, they could stay closer to home and catch live performances in Presentation Hall during KS Comedy Night (6:00 PM or 8:00 PM), where tickets are reasonably priced and parking is free.
Meet Cody Meikle, Lifestyle Entertainment Coordinator, who arranges comedy and other performances for Lincoln Hills. Growing up in Lincoln, Cody is familiar with the lay of the land and the people. Through previous positions, he’s become well-versed in the art of event coordination. Working locally at Lincoln Crossing and Natomas Park, he’s gained experience around an HOA (Home Owners Association.)
Since starting his job here about two years ago, this young, low-key staff member is always busy behind the scenes, not only organizing Comedy Nights but
also Tuesday Dance Nights, numerous musical performances held year-round in the Ballroom (OC), and assisting with the popular Summer Amphitheater Concert Series (SACS). Cody confesses that there’s a special spot in his heart for Comedy Nights that regularly receive rave reviews from attendees.
“They make people happy. They bring joy,” he says.
Currently, Comedy Nights are offered about every one to three months, but Cody reveals there’s talk about presenting them more often. It’s about “clean comedy” he recounts — shows that are non-offensive and without obscenities. Topics are relatable and suited to Lincoln Hills’ residents. Talent ranges from fairly known TV comics to up-and-comers.
Humans have been chuckling, chortling, and cackling since the beginning of time. Scientists have found evidence of jokes existing as far back as 4,000 years. Though they were primitive and are not trending today, audiences at the Forum were probably “laughing their togas off!”
Here’s a witticism unearthed from ancient times: Asked by the court barber how he wanted his hair cut, the king replied, “…in silence.” (Yup, that’s primitive.)
Keep your eyes on Compass for KS Comedy Nights. Round up your friends and neighbors, dine in at Meridians Restaurant before or after a show, and make a night of it. Most of all – prepare to laugh it up!

Many of our residents saw the musical “Six” on February 6 when a full busload of sold-out theatergoers enjoyed an evening highlighting the six wives of Henry VIII. Closer to home, everyone has the opportunity to learn more about these women who were selected by various circumstances to become wives of this illustrious king. Author Alison Weir, a New York Times best-selling author, has written individual books about Katherine of Aragon, the true queen, Anne Boleyn, the king’s obsession, Jane Seymour, the haunted queen, and others who were fated to become one of Henry’s wives. You will find their stories on the KS Library bookshelves to read and enjoy.

Ballroom Dance
Our Club held its first dance party of the year on February 10 in the Multipurpose Room (KS). The theme for the dance was Mardi Gras and it was a festival of merriment with dance, desserts, and friendship. The Multipurpose Room decorations included a mural featuring Mardi Gras dancers, jester, and musicians. The table settings also followed the Mardi Gras theme and included masks, pom poms, beads, and coins. The desserts were delicious and ample. Three varieties of cheesecake, apple and berry pie, and chocolate cake were provided for the participants. The music cue allowed participants to dance their favorite ballroom dances. Many thanks to all the participants, leaders, and helpers whose decorations, desserts, music, and clean-up made the evening a success.

Cyclists
Last July, I was one of 1,200 cyclists who completed the “Death Ride.” We braved the heat (104 degrees at ride end, in Markleeville, CA) and rode 103 miles, ascending 14,000 feet. This was my first attempt at the Death Ride. This ride first started in 1978 and features three iconic Sierra Nevada summits: Monitor Pass, elevation 8,314 feet; Ebbetts Pass, elevation 8,730 feet; and Pacific Grade Pass, elevation 8,050 feet. The route requires riders to ascend both sides of each summit. The descents are
exhilarating and relatively safe as the entire route is closed to traffic! My total time was 10 hours, 43 minutes. My moving time was 9:03, with an average speed of 11.4 mph. Signed:

There also were more farflung adventures proposed — a tour of the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito or a visit to a goat farm for soap-making. There certainly will be something for each of our members to enjoy. Watch for details in our weekly e-news. Lavender Friends is a club for LGBTQ residents and their supporters.

Mah Jongg, Chinese Spring is finally here! Come out of hibernation and join us for Chinese Mah Jongg. For those unfamiliar with the game, it’s similar to gin rummy but played with tiles. It’s easy to learn, and we are happy to teach. The ideal number of players per table is four, but a table of
three also works and allows us to accommodate all attendees. So, if you’re a resident and are interested in an informal and fun way to start the week, please drop into the Card Room (OC) a few minutes before 9:00 AM on Monday during the setup period. We have everything needed to play, so just come on by. Official play begins at 9:00 AM and continues until Noon. See you soon!

If you want to see what this

Mixed Media
There is still plenty of time to “Play more in 24.” Join us on March 20 to learn how to make your own beautiful collage papers using Gelli plates.

The last couple of months our club let their creativity shine through collage work. The club is a place where you can just play and have fun.
