Board of Directors’ Report

Wonder what board members do when they are not having the once-a-month open board meeting, Office Hours, Townhall, or workshop for the community?

Behind the scenes, the Board of Directors meets in executive session one to three times a month, devoted to legal, disciplinary, personnel, and select contracts. Other discussions occur in open meetings. Disciplinary includes the review and recommendations from the Compliance and Community Standards Department regarding properties that do not meet our maintenance design guidelines and violations that have not been corrected for a large variety of reasons. The Compliance Committee and Community Standards Department work together to provide the board with a packet that has photos of the property and violations of the design guidelines. The board is also given the

history of attempts to secure corrections from the property owner. The owner is invited to the meeting to share their perspective, and the Board of Directors. The board attempts to work out a resolution with corrective measures. If no resolution is reached, the owner can be fined or have other privileges suspended.

Regarding personnel issues, the board and Executive Director are currently working on goals and objectives for the Executive Director. We review the previously approved strategic plan to determine what to focus on and how to measure success.

Legal discussions are varied and cover anything that requires legal counsel.

Also included within an Executive Session is the review and approval of select contracts. Why not consider running for the Board of Directors? It’s the season now to put your name in as a candidate before the February 17 deadline.

A Note from the Executive Director

Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director

As we move through February, I want to share a snapshot of the exciting progress taking place across our community, shaped not only by careful planning but also by your continued engagement and feedback.

The Orchard Creek Lodge Refresh continues to move forward, informed by resident input gathered through our December community survey. Feedback on lighting, seating, and room themes is being used to refine design concepts, cost estimates, and project phasing as the initiative advances into planning and bidding.

At Meridians, the new entry door installation is now complete. This improvement enhances both the appearance and functionality of one of our most-used community spaces and improves the overall arrival experience for residents and guests.

Several projects have recently been approved or are now moving through committee and board review. This includes exterior decorative

lighting at Kilaga Springs Lodge, a pickleball court sound study, and engineering work to improve environmental controls at the Orchard Creek indoor pool.

We are also finalizing bidding for exterior painting at both Orchard Creek and Kilaga Springs Lodges, advancing boiler and shower valve replacements at Orchard Creek Fitness, and improving shared infrastructure, including trash compaction and sidewalk repairs at Leavell Park.

Alongside these capital and reserve projects, our teams continue to focus on daily maintenance and preventive care. In the last 90 days, staff have opened 229 work orders and closed 393. We are increasing our emphasis on preventive maintenance, including the recent work to sand and reapply the protective top coating on the Ballroom floor to extend the life of this heavily used space.

Thank you for being part of these improvements and for helping shape the future of the place we all call home.

Compliance Committee

Keeping Our Community Looking Its Best

Sherry Mosby, Chair

In Sun City Lincoln Hills in order to keep our community looking its best, our approach is to share the responsibility. This approach is a structured compliance inspection process, carried out by the Compliance Committee, to ensure homes meet the community’s Design Guidelines. We call it the Community Review Program (CRP). The Compliance Committee conducts four scheduled drive-through inspections each year to identify properties that may need attention. Our next scheduled CRP is in February and March looking at paint conditions on homes and fences.

These inspections are not intended to be punitive. Instead, they focus on routine exterior maintenance items that naturally arise over time, such as aging paint, deteriorating fascia boards, or worn or damaged fencing. Weather, sun exposure, and normal wear can affect even the best maintained homes, and the inspection process helps catch issues before they become more costly or impact neighboring properties.

By driving through the community four times a year, the Compliance Committee is able to monitor problems rather than relying on formal complaints. This proactive approach promotes fairness and consistency, as all homes are reviewed using the same standards outlined in our Design Guidelines.

When a potential compliance issue is observed, homeowners are typically notified with clear information about what was noted and which guideline applies. The goal is cooperation, not confrontation. Most issues can be resolved easily once homeowners are made aware of them.

Regular scheduled drive-through inspections benefit the entire community. They help protect property values, preserve the neighborhood’s visual appeal, and reinforce the shared commitment that comes with living in an HOA. Through consistent inspections and respectful communication, the Compliance Committee along with residents plays an important role in keeping our community looking its best.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee

Your Heart and Soul

George Herrmann, Chair

A new year often nudges us to think about getting in better shape, and loving yourself starts with taking care of the body you live in. Here in Lincoln Hills, we are fortunate to have plenty of ways to do just that. Beyond WellFit classes and our well-equipped gyms, many clubs offer opportunities for every level of physical activity.

For those who enjoy a faster pace, tennis, pickleball, water volleyball, and skiing get the heart pumping. Prefer something gentler? Walking and hiking clubs offer multiple levels of activity. Bocce, lawn sports, and shuffleboard will keep us moving, social, and smiling. If you really want to get the blood flowing, our dance clubs prove that exercise doesn’t have to feel like work. Staying active, at any level, is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves as we age. But loving yourself goes beyond physical fitness.

Mental and spiritual well-being are just as important. Keeping our minds sharp can be a challenge, yet clubs like Bridge, Euchre, Pinochle, Pedro, Cribbage, and Scrabble give us a fun way to think, plan, and stretch our mental muscles.

Spiritual well-being is another piece of the puzzle. Our community support groups already do so much to help residents navigate illness and life’s challenges. There’s growing interest in forming a Meditation Club to nurture calm, reflection, and balance.

Living in Lincoln Hills gives us all the tools we need to care for ourselves, be it body, mind, or spirit. This month, consider loving yourself enough to try something new. Join a club, attend a meeting, or simply show up and see where it leads. You may discover not only a healthier habit, but a stronger connection to your community and to yourself.

Finance Committee

December Revenue

Fred Raach, Chair

For the year ending December 2025, the Association is reporting a net loss of $2,041,212, which is $1,823,120 larger than budgeted. Most of this loss is due to the establishment of a $1,854,000 contingent liability for possible refund obligations resulting from the litigation on the Fixed Mandatory Assessment. This liability is recorded in the draft financial report as an administrative expense in the Administration Department.

Excluding this liability, the operating departments had net expenditures of $178,000 more than budgeted for December. Despite this overage, the year-to-date net results were $31,000 better than projected in the budget.

Gross revenue from operations in December was $61,000 more than budgeted, and for the year, gross revenue was $47,000 (0.6%) less than budgeted. Operating expenses, without the contingent liability, were $239,000 over budget in December and $78,000 (0.4%) less than budgeted for the year.

The chart below shows the breakdown of the actual results versus budget for each department for the year. The Administration Department figure does not include the $1,854,000 contingent liability charge.

The only departments having significant (more than $10,000) differences from November were Administration, Food and Beverage, and Facilities and Landscaping. Comments this month are limited

to those three departments.

The Administration Department’s over-budget amount increased $38,000 from November. The increase was largely due to staffing – $22,000 of unbudgeted recruiting expense and personnel expenses $13,000 over budget, as a result of being fully staffed.

The Food and Beverage Department was $35,000 over budget for December. Gross revenue was $74,000 better than budget, but the cost of sales was $37,000 over-budget, due to the increased revenue and the higher than budgeted cost of food and beverage purchases, and personnel costs also were $78,000 over-budget in December.

Facilities and Landscaping expenses were $124,000 more than budgeted for December. Projects for fixing roof leaks and repair and replacement of equipment in Orchard Creek and Kilaga Springs Lodges caused over $71,000 of the overage. Pool repairs and service by outside firms accounted for an additional $35,000. In past years, utility cost overages have been an issue, but this year they are 11% less than budgeted.

In December, $148,000 was spent on replacement of Association property using reserve funds. This brought the total spent in the year to $2,960,000.

At the end of 2025, the balance of the Community Enhancement Fund, not already allocated to approved projects, was $279,000.

A new year brings new opportunities, especially for those looking to make a meaningful impact in Lincoln Hills! Our community is seeking three new members to join the 2026 Board of Directors, and this could be the perfect moment for you to make a difference.

Serving on the board is a wonderful way to share your ideas, offer your experience, and help guide the decisions that keep our community thriving. Fresh insights and collaborative energy are always welcome, and your involvement can make a real difference.

Thinking about it? Step Forward! Pick up a

Candidate Information Packet today at the Membership desk (OC). Applications and biographies are due by 4:00 PM on February 17, so get your application in right away.

Don’t let this new year’s opportunity pass you by. Decide to run yourself—or encourage a neighbor, who would make a great leader, to run. Imagine working together as part of a team dedicated to the betterment of our community, our neighborhood, and our daily lives.

Lifestyle News and Happenings

Loving Yourself: It’s a Lifestyle!

Kelly Berto, Director of Lifestyle

At Lincoln Hills, caring for yourself is reflected in the Lifestyle events, classes, and programs designed to encourage connection, creativity, and personal fulfillment. These opportunities support overall well-being by offering meaningful ways to stay engaged and connected within our community.

Loving yourself begins with giving yourself permission to explore interests that bring joy and purpose. Lifestyle classes offer a wide range of opportunities to learn new skills, express creativity, and continue lifelong learning. Whether you are participating in an art class, expanding your dance skills, attending a lecture, or trying something completely new, these experiences help build confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

Lifestyle events are another important way to practice self-care. Concerts, themed gatherings, educational presentations, and social activities invite residents to step away from daily routines and enjoy shared experiences. Making time for fun

and entertainment is not indulgent; it is an essential part of a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

Connection also plays a vital role in personal well-being. Try joining a club, volunteering, or attending group activities to help create meaningful relationships and strengthen our community. These connections provide support, purpose, and a sense of belonging, all of which contribute to emotional well-being.

Self-care also means listening to your needs. Some days you may feel energized to fill your calendar with events and classes, while other days you may choose quieter moments of reflection or rest. Honoring both is an important act of self-respect.

This February, I encourage you to explore the Lifestyle calendar with intention. Choose programs and events that inspire you, challenge you, and bring you joy. When you invest time in yourself, you not only enrich your own life, but also help make Lincoln Hills a more vibrant, connected, and welcoming community for everyone.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs Fall in Love with Recovery This Valentine’s Day

KarriLynn Keith, Spa Manager

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about flowers and chocolates; it’s about love in all its forms, especially self-care. This season, we invite you to slow down and give your body what it truly needs: recovery. Recovery is one of the most powerful wellness trends today, and it’s not just for elite athletes. It’s for anyone who moves, gives, works hard, and wants to feel good in their body again.

Whether you’re powering through workouts, chasing personal goals, or simply keeping up with life, recovery is the key to feeling stronger, lighter, and more balanced. Think of it as the care your muscles depend on. Recovery isn’t about doing nothing, it’s about intentional rest. After long days and intense movement, your body needs support to rebuild muscles, rebalance hormones, and calm the nervous system. This is where mindful recovery rituals shine, especially infrared and PEMF therapy.

Our Red Light Reset Treatment is a restorative Valentine’s option designed to support your body from the inside out. Red light therapy helps boost circulation, ease muscle tension, support detoxification, and encourage healthy, radiant skin, all while you relax comfortably.

For a deeper level of restoration, experience our PEMF Infrared Light Therapy. This advanced treatment combines pulsed electromagnetic fields with soothing infrared heat to support cellular renewal, reduce inflammation, and release built-up stress. It’s grounding, therapeutic, and deeply rejuvenating.

This Valentine’s Day, let go of the guilt around rest and embrace recovery as an essential part of wellness. Treat yourself, or someone special, to the gift of restoration and reconnect with how good your body can feel. Choose a 20-minute session for $45 or a 40-minute session for $75.

Call to reserve your session today.

Nourishing the Brain: Wellness Starts with Loving Yourself

Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director

At WellFit, we believe wellness is more than exercise; it’s a lifestyle that supports the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. One of the most powerful ways to improve your overall health is by practicing self-love, and that starts with caring for your brain.

Your brain influences everything: energy levels, motivation, mood, memory, and focus. When we neglect our mental well-being, it can affect our physical health too. But when we nourish the brain, we strengthen our ability to stay active, engaged, and resilient as we age.

Self-love isn’t about perfection; it’s about choosing habits that support you. Movement is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Regular activities such as walking, strength training, stretching, Pilates Reformer, yoga, and group EX classes increase blood flow to the brain and support mood-boosting hormones like dopamine and serotonin. These benefits help reduce stress,

sharpen concentration, and improve sleep.

Nutrition also plays a major role in cognitive health. Brain-boosting foods such as leafy greens, berries, nuts, olive oil, fatty fish, and lean proteins provide essential nutrients that support memory, focus, and long-term brain function. Staying hydrated and limiting processed foods and added sugars can also improve energy and mental clarity.

Rest and recovery are just as important. Quality sleep, stress management, and taking time for yourself are key components of maintaining cognitive vitality. Remember, “wellness isn’t something you achieve once, it’s something you practice daily.”

March is Nutrition and Recovery Month.Make sure to check out our new class, Protecting Cognitive Vitality Through Mindful Nutrition. See ad below for more information.

At WellFit, we’re here to support you every step of the way, because loving yourself means investing in your health from the inside out.

Family Caregivers –Love Yourselves

Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

Sometimes, we are the last ones to take care of ourselves. Is it because that is the way we were raised? “Don’t be selfish, be more giving,” we’ve heard.

Self-love is not egocentric, but rather, essential for maintaining emotional, physical, and mental well-being. This is especially true for those who care for family members in the home. For some, it is a 24/7 job. For others, it is managing a care network by bringing

in additional help. For most, it is the vast responsibility of overseeing the needs of a spouse, child, sibling, or parent who cannot care for themselves or their safety.

February celebrates Valentine’s Day and love. Let’s celebrate family caregivers and encourage them to love themselves.

Lincoln Hills’ residents are fortunate to have myriad support groups that address diseases, loss, and health issues. (Check the listing and descriptions in Compass .) One such group is the Alzheimer’s–Dementia Caregiver’s Support Group that offers monthly general meetings as well as Women’s and Men’s groups. Speakers visit to discuss safety, medical, and other topics. Members share their experiences with others.

The support group’s first point of contact, Elizabeth Farley, who

was a caregiver for her late life partner, now assists with the group’s needs. “I want to give back,” she says. She imparts to others what she’s learned. “You are not alone. Don’t become isolated.”

In addition, Elizabeth wants to teach caregivers how to use social media tools she’s found valuable. For instance, Facebook includes groups for caregivers to communicate and ask questions. YouTube contains helpful medical information. Podcasts present speakers who address caregiver topics.

As the group’s treasurer, Kathie Wagner-Levine serves in additional ways. Like Elizabeth, she’s gained first-hand knowledge by caring for a family member. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help,” she tells caregivers.

Caregivers might also consider these simple tips for daily rejuvenation: enjoy rituals like reading a book or sipping a favorite tea or coffee; stay creative – continue, don’t drop, a favorite hobby; benefit from nature – step outdoors to reconnect with the world in a peaceful space; improve sleep and relaxation; and, keep a journal – write as a way to self-reflect.

After boarding your airplane, flight attendants explain safety procedures. “Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others,” they instruct passengers.

Caregivers – make self-love a priority; give yourselves the love and care you need to take good care of your loved ones.

Home is where the heart is

Stay creative; keep a hobby

Embrace the power of self-love

Half Full or Half Empty

Tom

Quallick, Roving Reporter

Love Yourself. Is this glass half full or half empty? It is an age old question. Are you a positive person or one who beats themselves up all the time?

While playing pickleball with Valerie McElroy as my partner, she verbally criticized aloud her bad shot, yet was silent about her winning shot down the line. Val

realized this mentally unhealthy approach, so going forward, we played a mind game. She was allowed self-criticism two more times, but each self-criticism was deducted when she complimented one of her shots. Many people are self-critical in life, yet few acknowledge a positive action.

Nina Baldi, a Pilates instructor and Lincoln Hills resident, is carrying a bowl that contains people’s written intention lists for 2026. Each intention is a positive mental message she will read aloud during December Pilates classes. Another example of positive mental health.

Harvard Health reports that in large population studies, pessimistic individuals were more than twice as likely to develop

heart disease compared with optimistic peers. The National Institute of Health cites that cynical hostility (a negative attitude) was associated with higher rates of coronary heart disease.

Paraphrasing a Cherokee legend, each person has two wolves living inside of us, a happy wolf and a sad wolf. You become the person who feeds which wolf through intention and action. We live in a resort community with people from diverse backgrounds. With the remaining time left on the planet, do you want to surround yourself with positive, lighthearted people or with those who have negative, bitter personalities? Choose your wolf.

Pay attention to the topics of conversations you hear with a group. Are they frequently pessimistic or cynical? If so, change venues. When going for a walk, smile and say “hello”. Men generally react with a wave, often silent, which is fine, but hey, guys, would it hurt to accompany the “hello” with a smile? The good news is that it does not cost anything.

So, is your glass half empty or half full? Ask an engineer, and they may say that you are using the wrong size glass.

Once you’re done with this read, listen to Nat “King” Cole sing “Smile” and pay attention to the lyrics. Love yourself and sing along.

The Art of Loving the One in the Mirror

David Wright, Roving Reporter

Making new friends

Kathleen Bartl loves horses. Tragically, it was that love that changed her life forever. Thirty years ago, an equestrian accident left her with a traumatic brain injury. Her prognosis for survival was grim. But with support from her husband, a rekindled spirit, and years of rehabilitation, she was able to overcome the frustrations of a broken body and take back the reins of her life. Having

to give up her corporate career and her beloved horse, she began to emphasize her artisan side, eventually learning to love herself again.

Kathleen has always been an artist. Since she was a little girl, she has been doing pen-and-ink drawings of animals. Her artwork mirrored reality. She excelled at replicating every precise detail of her live animal models. Then, the accident left her with diminished hand-eye coordination, and her fingers had trouble obeying her brain’s orders. Her ability to pen those intricate drawings was gone.

When she and her husband, Mike, moved to Lincoln Hills eight years ago, they turned their casita into Kathleen’s private studio, hoping to find another art medium. Taking a Lifestyle class,

she was introduced to the forgiving versatility of clay. Kathleen recalls, “I found I could cut and shape it any way I want…and my world lit up.”

Kathleen shapes her clay creations into “whimsical, quirky, and expressive” animals. Breaking the mold, her hands seemingly work with a mind of their own. She might begin by visualizing an image, but as she starts sculpting, the piece will speak to her and become “a whole nother animal altogether.” She forms a narrative as she goes along while adding emotion to her “kneady” friends through exaggerated facial features and body parts. Each character embraces its own personality and backstory.

Her sculptures are so distinctive that she brands them as “Nozes & Tozes.” Frequently displaying them in ceramics studios and art shows, Kathleen has won many awards, even becoming the spotlight artist at regional galleries. “I have been given a gift, and I cherish it. I find it exciting and freeing,” she beams.

With a renewed reason to get out of bed every morning, she looks forward to spending her day in the clay and enjoying the aha moment as her next creation comes to life. Thanks to her crafty critters, Kathleen Bartl can once again look in the mirror and love what she sees.

Ballroom Dance

Our club has begun the new year with a new schedule of dances. February lessons are for the Foxtrot. The Foxtrot is named after Vaudeville actor Harry Fox, who popularized the dance around 1914 by adding quick, trotting steps to ragtime music. Audiences began calling it “Fox’s Trot,” which eventually shortened to Foxtrot, although the dance’s roots likely

Billiards

Now that it’s February and the weather has turned colder, we would like to invite you indoors to the OC and KS Billiards Rooms. If you are new to pool or you want to brush up on your skills, we offer mentoring sessions at KS on Tuesday mornings. 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. During the sessions, you can warm up by the fireplace while you contemplate your next shot. We offer a variety of tournaments at KS.

Our club plays on Thursday mornings, and all residents are welcome. Equipment is provided, and parking is available at the courts. From now until May, we begin at 10:00 AM. Teams of four players are formed on-the-fly each week so just show up! It’s fine if you only come occasionally. The focus is on recreation—not competition. But of course, everyone wants to win. We spend about 90 minutes on the courts. New, inexperienced, and handicapped residents are welcome. It’s a great way to meet people. Don’t know how to play? We’ll guide you. If Thursday mornings aren’t convenient, there’s also a fun drop-in bocce group that plays on Mondays at 9:00 AM.

Love is in the air in February, known as the last month of winter. But for us, February is the month of love, especially on Valentine’s Day, when we celebrate love, friendship, and admiration.

Our Valentines couple Jim and Deborah Christie

So, no surprise at all when our longtime members and lovely couple, Jim and Deborah Christie, fell in love: “It’s like a puppy love as we met in high school,” said Jim. However, it’s Deborah who made the first move. “I asked Jim out on Sadie Hawkins Day to the dance. Then we got married and our love going strong throughout the years.” No surprise either of their love of the club as they are always first to volunteer! For more information:

Sun City Squares

The reason our club meets on Monday is because it’s just the best way to start the week. See, square dancers like to fool Monday. It arrives stiff, grumpy, and even blue. So, we circle up and tell it where to go. By the third do-si-do, Monday forgets to complain. By the final swing, Monday is clapping and smiling to the beat. Nothing straightens

out a crooked week faster than making Monday promenade left and bow to its partner. If you’d like help with your Mondays, feel free to come by KS, of course on Mondays, 1:00 to 3:00 PM.

Tennis - Live Ball (all levels)

Live Ball is the tennis workout that aims to check all the boxes: action, camaraderie, fitness, and, most of all, fun!

The challenging team must win two points before the champion team wins one in order to move to the champion side. Live Ball is situational point play without the serve; it is also an opportunity to combine all levels of players. Instructor: Eric Garcia, RSPA/USPTA Teaching Professional.

What is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo? Some parts of your ear help you with hearing others help you with balance. The part of your ear that controls balance is called the semicircular canal. You have a semicircular canal in the inner part of each ear. In some people, sand-like particles or crystals called canaliths in the inner ear become loose and move around. This causes dizziness, which is also called vertigo. What is the Epley Maneuver? This is a series of steps you can do at home to help reposition the canaliths and help with dizziness.

Wellness Life Coaching

Why A Wellness Coach? A Lincoln Hills Wellness Life Coach is a professional who assists individuals in making progress toward achieving greater fulfillment in their relationships, careers, day-to-day life, or extracurricular activities. Schedule with one of our Coaches to better navigate your path, clarify your goals, identify obstacles holding you back, and learn new strategies to move forward. Our coaches will provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.

What Can I Expect? Discerning “the why” is paramount to coaching - because the subsequent checkpoints and milestones are built upon the why of what the client wishes to work toward - and developing a reasonable plan to achieve it. Each 60-minute session includes a personally tailored, written 30-day goal summary that outlines measurable, time-bound behaviors and tasks to be completed by the client. This helps each client maintain progress, overcome challenges, and achieve their desired outcomes.

What Does It Cost? Each one-on-one session runs sixty minutes for $84.00. Your Wellness Life Coach will recommend the frequency of sessions as you go.

Invest in Yourself. We have four dynamic Wellness Coaches ready to book appointments at Orchard Creek WellFit Fitness Center. Their bios can be found at the fitness centers or on the Resident Website under the WellFit drop-down menu. Contact Danielle Merrill for more information about this exciting new program.

Policy: There are no refunds, and all training expires one year after purchase. Please observe our 24-hour cancellation policy and contact the Coach directly to reschedule, or you may be charged in full for the session.
