Board of Directors’ Report

Tom Brutting, President

As you read this, it’s been several days since we celebrated the Fourth of July, our nation’s Independence Day, one of the most revered days for our nation. The Declaration of Independence announced our position and brought forth the quest for freedom. We cherish that freedom.

We also celebrate this independence with parades, commemorations, family gatherings, barbecues, concerts, and fireworks. Our own Lincoln Hills Sports Car Club parades their cars in the annual downtown Lincoln parade. Sometimes, the day is blistering hot, yet we still unwaveringly celebrate.

Reflecting on past days, we think of the freedom afforded to us when we left home for the first time, got a driver’s license, chose a career, enjoyed a home life we made our own, and for many of us, retirement. Ah, yes, retirement. Independence from

hectic and often very busy work lives, which now enables us to do whatever we want to do.

In Lincoln Hills, we have the independence to experience and participate in numerous activities made available to us through a wide array of amenities. We can choose to do something whenever and wherever we wish. As an example, I recall vividly the numerous focus groups from last year, where nearly every resident noted the refreshing experience and the sense of independence that comes from communing with nature on our many walking trails.

We are starting this month with our new Executive Director, Jessica Sedgwick, and we welcome her wholeheartedly. Our newly appointed Board continues the work of keeping our community the best it can be for all of us. Let us collectively cherish the independence we have living in a great community, with all it has to offer us, today and tomorrow.

A Note from the Executive Director Jeff Caponera, Interim Executive Director

In today’s fast-paced world, the community often takes a back seat to individualism. As Homeowners Association (HOA) members, we have a unique opportunity to foster interdependence, enhance our living environment, and strengthen neighborly bonds.

Interdependence means recognizing that our actions have an impact on one another. When we understand our interconnectedness, we realize that each resident’s well-being contributes to the neighborhood’s overall health, leading to a more harmonious living environment. The Board of Directors, committees, and staff need to work together for the benefit of the community.

What are the benefits of working together? Enhanced Communication: Open communication creates a culture of transparency. Regular meetings facilitate the sharing of thoughts, concerns, and ideas. Stronger Relationships: Collaborating on projects, such as neighborhood clean-ups or social events, fostering trust and camaraderie among neighbors. Shared Resources: Pooling resources

for common goals, such as sharing tools or organizing carpooling, saves money and time while achieving more collectively. Improved Safety: A united community enhances safety. Neighbors looking out for one another create a watchful environment that deters crime. Increased Property Values: A cohesive community boosts property values through maintained aesthetics and a welcoming atmosphere.

Practical steps to foster interdependence include hosting community events like potlucks and block parties, creating committees focused on landscaping, events, and safety, encouraging volunteerism to foster belonging, promoting communication through multiple channels, and leading by example by participating actively and showing appreciation.

Building a strong community through interdependence requires effort and commitment. By embracing this spirit, we can cultivate a vibrant and supportive neighborhood where everyone thrives. Together, we can make a difference—one neighbor at a time.

Architectural Review Committee Rules and Laws

Greg Kevin, Chair

Brigham Young noted that “True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.” We are a nation of laws. We are a nation of rules. It is in these rules and in these laws that we define ourselves and establish our true independence. These rules and laws govern actions and behaviors, not only to protect our individual freedoms but to protect the freedoms of everyone in our society. However, while laws and rules provide a framework for behavior, true freedom and independence are cultivated by acting with integrity and virtue.

Here in Lincoln Hills, we are also governed by rules and laws that have been agreed upon by the residents. In Lincoln Hills, we have our governing documents, which include the General Development Plan, the CC&Rs, the Association Rules and Regulations, and the Design Guidelines. These Governing documents were established by

the builder and agreed to by the residents. They can be amended and changed by a vote of the residents.

The enforcement and interpretation of these rules is done by the elected and appointed representatives of the residents. Residents are expected to follow these rules not only to maintain the harmony and value of the community but out of respect for our fellow neighbors and friends. Any deviation or violation of these rules is subject to review, punishment, and appeal to our elected Board of Directors.

Whether you agree with the rules or not, or you live in a Pulte or a Del Webb home, the rules are an integral part of our community. The rules are what make Lincoln Hills special. I would respectfully submit that the reason we follow the rules is not because we fear punishment, but rather because we respect our neighbors and it is the right thing to do.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee

Independent Living George Herrmann, Chair

Independent living for people over fifty-five. That’s how I view Lincoln Hills. There are many choices of things to do and how to spend your time. All of your own choosing. You can do as much or as little as you want. There is literally something for everyone. This does not happen in a vacuum. Think about just how dependent we are on others to keep this independent lifestyle.

If you join a club or community organization, you are dependent on the leaders of those clubs and organizations to plan activities, book rooms, and follow bylaws and procedures. Many of these clubs and organizations have had the same leaders for years, while others struggle to find people to lead and help keep things vibrant.

We take for granted there will be someone at the Lifestyle and Wellfit desks whenever we want to wander over to the Orchard Creek or Kilaga Springs Lodge. People are there to answer questions and give directions. You can find newspapers for reading at both lodges in addition to a well-maintained library at Kilaga.

Bulletin boards are updated with concerts and activities, and rooms are set up prior to bookings. As we cherish our independent living and our independence, think about devoting some of your time to a club or community organization that helps keep that independence. Thank the staff, volunteers, clubs, and community organizations that make this all a reality. For they are the key to maintaining the full, independent lives we have come to know and love.

Compliance Committee

Independent Lifestyle

Sherry Mosby, Chair

Our country’s independence started with the Minutemen and Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott. I thank them and Mr. Delbert Eugene Webb for my happy, independent lifestyle in Lincoln Hills.

Fifty-five-and older communities are designed to support independent living while providing a lifestyle tailored to active, mature adults. For most of us, we have spent more than half our lives working, raising children, and trying to make ends meet so we can retire and start relaxing. Now is the time to travel, enjoy hobbies, volunteer, or spend time with family and friends.

Living independently does not mean living alone or in isolation. Our community offers a strong sense of connection through social events, fitness classes, and active clubs, among other activities. Residents can engage as much or as little as they like, allowing them to choose the lifestyle that best

fits their needs. The option to connect with others who are in a similar stage of life encourages companionship, emotional support, and a feeling of belonging.

Safety and convenience also play a big role in supporting independence. Lincoln Hills is not a gated community but does include on-site security, which helps with our peace of mind. Our streets are open to the public; therefore, we need to be mindful of keeping our doors locked and garage doors closed. We have a great Neighborhood Watch Program that also plays a big role in keeping us safe. Amenities such as pools, walking trails, classes and wellness programs encourage healthy, happy living.

DID YOU KNOW… all bushes near your property line in your front yard must not exceed 4 feet in height. The bushes along both sides of your driveway cannot exceed 36 inches for safety reasons.

Properties Committee

Celebrating Our Independence Peggy Scott, Committee Member

Happy Independence Month. True independence means having the freedom to make choices while knowing there’s a supportive community behind you. Whether it’s maintaining your home, participating in neighborhood initiatives, or helping a neighbor in need, self-sufficiency and mutual assistance go hand in hand.

Independence also means embracing diversity— every resident brings unique ideas, traditions, and perspectives that enrich our community. By celebrating individual freedom and respecting different viewpoints, we create a community where everyone feels at home.

As we honor the theme of independence, let’s remember that our collective strength lies in the

balance between personal freedom and communal responsibility. Together, we can continue building a community where independence thrives through collaboration and respect.

May our community continue to grow in strength, connection, and the true spirit that comes from working and respecting one another throughout the year.

We have added another new Committee member, Tom Moe. Tom has several decades of experience as a Chief Estimator, performing Facilities Condition Assessments and value engineering for several large firms, including PG&E, Washington Metro, AT&T, and Marshfield Health. Tom will be a valuable asset to our Association and our Committee.

Finance Committee

May Results

Fred Raach, Chair

The Association reported net results for May that were $26,000 better than expected in the budget, increasing the positive variance for the year to $122,000.

In May, gross revenue increased $2.0 million to $9.2 million, $6.0 million from dues, and $3.2 million of income from operations, which was $38,000 more than budgeted. Total expenditures were $9.2 million, including $984,000 added to the reserve fund, $105,000 added to the Community Enhancement Fund, and operating expenses of $8.1 million. The operating expenses were $84,000 less than budgeted.

The chart below shows net results compared to budget for each department at the end of May.

The Administration Department is now over budget for the year because May expenses were $31,000 over budget due to higher than planned legal expenses and payment to an employee whose position was eliminated, but partially offset by savings from not having a general election.

In May, the Communications and IT Department increased its positive-to-budget results by $17,000 as it continues to benefit from the transfer of its manager’s wages to the Administration Department while Jeff Caponera serves as the Interim Executive Director. Also, larger than budgeted net revenue from Compass added to the savings.

The Lifestyle Department was able to generate

a $22,000 increase in its positive-to-budget results from better than planned revenue from events and savings in personnel costs.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs continued to have lower than budgeted spa services revenue, but personnel cost savings in May produced a $3,000 increase in its year-to-date positive result.

The WellFit Department’s revenue in May was slightly less than budgeted and personnel costs exceeded budget primarily because of the payment to an employee whose position was eliminated. Net revenue was $17,000 less than budgeted for the month.

The Food and Beverage Department remains slightly over budget for the year, but had a very favorable May, with positive net revenue of $54,000, $34,000 more than budgeted.

The Facilities and Landscape Department was $3,000 over budget this month from larger than planned expenditures for repairs, landscape maintenance, and water, partially offset by lower than expected personnel costs.

Reserve Expenditures - In May, reserve expenditures were $316,000, primarily for the costs of the Orchard Creek pool renovation and the replacement of the Meridian’s kitchen equipment. Reserve expenditures for the year-to-date are $1.4 million.

Detailed financial data is available on the Resident Website.

Lifestyle News and Happenings

Safe Spaces Vital for Independence and Freedoms

Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager

Independence and freedom of thought, while related, are distinct concepts. Independence, at its core, refers to autonomy and self-reliance, the ability to act and make decisions without relying on others. Freedom of thought, on the other hand, is the right to hold and express one’s own opinions and beliefs without external constraints, including the freedom to seek and share information. A safe environment makes both possible.

We all want to be independent for as long as possible in life, but factors such as age, ability, circumstances, and finances often allow or hinder this in most cases. The Lincoln Hills community offers numerous services and programs that can enhance residents’ safety and security, including Neighbors InDeed, Neighborhood Watch, support groups and clubs, educational Community Forums, and other presentations. The Lincoln Hills Foundation provides grant funding to organizations and non-profits that offer assistance and

support to help individuals stay independent. Freedom of thought, however, can and should be every person’s right. We need to feel safe in our relationships, in our homes, schools, and workplaces. More globally, we need to feel safe in our communities, cities, states, and countries, to allow ourselves to feel free to hold and express our own thoughts, feelings, and ideas. When we feel safe and trust that we will not be ridiculed, there are no limits to our sense of intrinsic independence.

From my observations and personal experience, I believe that most folks in Lincoln Hills are offered safe spaces and a supportive overall environment that allows for freedom of thought. This creates the atmosphere and opportunities for wonderful collaborations, social connections, and daily celebrations.

In this crazy world, the importance of a community that protects and supports each other is vital. Let us continue to watch out for each other.

WellFit News

Empowering Independence Through Wellness and Fitness

Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director

Independence is more than the ability to live without assistance— it’s a mindset of self-sufficiency, confidence, and control over one’s life. Physical and mental wellness are the cornerstones of this freedom. Whether you are striving for mobility in your senior years, mental clarity for decision-making, or the strength to pursue your goals without dependence on others, wellness, and fitness provide the tools to live life on your own terms.

Physical strength and endurance are vital for maintaining independence throughout life. Regular exercise improves mobility, balance, and coordination—essential skills for daily tasks like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or playing with grandchildren. As we age, staying active reduces the risk of falls and chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis, allowing us to remain in our homes longer without outside help.

Mental wellness is the foundation of independent thinking. A healthy mind reduces stress and

sharpens cognitive function. Practicing meditation and getting regular sleep contribute to mental clarity and better decision-making. The benefits are better self-control, effective planning and problem-solving, and lower anxiety and depression.

Fueling an independent life means maintaining a balanced diet that sustains both the body and the brain. A balanced diet rich in whole foods provides the energy needed for physical activity and supports cognitive function. Learning to prepare simple, nutritious meals also encourages self-reliance.

True independence stems from the ability to care for oneself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Embracing fitness and wellness does not just change bodies, it empowers people to pursue their passions, make their own choices, and live without limits. Reach out to the WellFit staff, and we can get you started with classes or one-on-one training to get you moving in the right direction. It’s never too late to start.

If you missed the June 19 Traffic Safety Presentation, you’re in luck. The Lincoln Police Department presented a special event in coordination with Neighborhood Watch and the Lincoln Hills Community Forum. This presentation concentrated on driving safely in our community. Linda Minor, Neighborhood Watch Executive Director, and Sergeant Jesse McCauley, Lincoln Police Department, presided over the well-attended presentation. The Lincoln Police Traffic Officer, Brett Schneider, and the Deputy District Attorney

Remain Independent— Drive Safely

Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch

DUI Prosecutor, Sam Phelan, both shared surprising statistics regarding traffic safety issues.

Ideas were then offered on how to drive safely under numerous situations, including how medications can affect driving ability. Lincoln Police and Placer PROTECT personnel Cassidy Paganucci and Megan Sponholz offered additional driving and health safety tips as well. To view the video of this event, please log on to the Neighborhood Watch website: sclhwatch.org or the Residents’ Website. Attending in person is always recommended, so look for the next event

to be announced. Don’t miss the chance to participate in the Q&A session. Ask questions and receive direct answers.

As part of the Neighborhood Watch mission statement, safety events are offered to help keep Lincoln Hills’ residents informed. Informed residents are always safer. Visit the NW website sclhwatch.org for more safety information and direct links to several local services. View the June 19 Traffic Safety Presentation video.

Free Stylers Exercise Their “Indepen-dance”

David Wright, Roving Reporter

“If you stumble, make it part of the dance.” That is the motto of the Free Stylers. Unlike most Lincoln Hills dance clubs, the Free Stylers encourage residents to shake, rattle, and roll to their own beat. Their moves are not choreographed. Exercising the belief that dancing adds to longevity, the club promotes independence through self-expression. For this bunch, “no” means no judgement,

no pressure to perform, and no frustration when one has a miscue. Simply feel the music and make some moves.

The improvisational dance club is the brainchild of Linda Shobe. Dancing has been a part of her life since she was five. After moving to Lincoln Hills 11 years ago, the retired Human Resources Manager wanted to start her own dance group. She thought of teaching Lifestyle classes, but with encouragement from her friends, decided to form a club instead. “I just have the desire to share what I know,” Linda says.

For nearly 18 months, the 23-member group has been twisting to Chubby, boogying with the Bee Gees, stepping into the

Cha-Cha, and sliding out of the Salsa. The club uses different genres of music while trying various moves to enrich the dancing experience. Members can learn new steps and finetune the old ones.

Unlike the structured dance troupes, this “no-it-all” club is less about what it is and more about what it is not. In the Free Stylers, there are no rules; there are no mistakes; there are no annual dues; and there is no partner required.

“We are not a performing club,” Linda explains. “Every week, we work on new moves. There is nothing to memorize. Once we get going, it becomes second nature. Our primary goal is to have fun while exercising our bodies and minds.”

Dancing burns calories, keeps moving parts moving, improves balance, and provides a full aerobic workout. Adding new techniques to the repertoire increases mental acuity. Studies show that dancing has a “profound effect on reversing the signs of aging in the brain.”

Besides tapping into their weekly meetings, you may bump into Free Stylers sweating to the oldies at our concerts, cutting a rug on community dance nights, or dipping and dripping at Happy Hour pool parties. The club welcomes you to join in their groove. Whether you disco with the flow or get down with your bad self, to prolong your independence, “all you gotta do is dance.”

A Declaration of Food Independence

Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

While July conjures up thoughts of Independence Day, lettuce celebrate food independence – a household’s ability to have control over its food supply by growing and harvesting food needs.

Here are some advantages to growing your own food. Take charge of your nutrition and consume fresh food from the garden. Grow produce without using pesticides. Toil in the soil, realizing the fruits of your labor. Save money from your own backyard produce aisle. Share your

crops with friends and neighbors who’ll relish your efforts.

I visited four Lincoln Hills households, where I discovered proud and passionate tillers of the land and how their gardens grow.

Step into Lorraine Immel’s fairytale-like garden for a moment of Zen. An active member of the Garden Group for many years, Lorraine has combined flower trellises, cozy furniture, a koi pond, and bonsai plants alongside a backyard bonanza of raised beds and pots with fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Yong and Fred Serna created their garden after moving here from Roseville. Yong’s choice of planted vegetables reflects her Asian ethnicity and love of cooking. “There’s always something to do,” she said, describing tending the garden year-round. Fred notes that the seasons often dictate which foods are in their diet and on their table. (The day

I visited, there was excitement when this year’s first blueberries were spotted on a bush.)

Mark and Nanette Forry maintain an eye-popping, decorative yet practical garden. Mark’s penchant for planting may be rooted in his childhood, but now he’s branched out to teach the next generation, serving as a volunteer gardening instructor at Twelve Bridges High School, where students tend their own gardens. For Mark, it’s all about going natural – growing without using chemicals and even enlisting the help of worms to enrich the soil.

Linda and Lenny Anselmo’s beautifully organized garden merges flowers with vegetables, often employing marigolds to distract insects. Their bountiful harvest typically includes a variety of squash, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and basil. They enjoy their produce throughout the year – in one way or another; jars of canned tomato sauce, pickles, and herbs fill their kitchen cupboard.

It’s also heartwarming to share your bounty with friends and neighbors. “It’s the right thing to do,” Linda adds.

Each garden is unique, as is every gardener. However, the residents share a similar philosophy – growing fruits and vegetables may be hard work and time-consuming, but the benefits of food independence are plentiful.

Ballroom Dance

In July, the dance instruction will focus on the nightclub two-step. Nightclub two-step is a social dance characterized by its slow tempo, making it ideal for nightclub, party, or wedding settings. As the summer season unfolds, and the energy of the season extends throughout every aspect of life, you may be

inclined to take a break. However, before you stow your dance shoes, it is important that you consider the opportunities that await you during the summer months. A compelling reason to continue dancing during the summer is to preserve your hard-earned skills and technique. Instead of taking an extended hiatus, we invite you to join us this summer for scheduled instruction in the nightclub two-step (July) and East Coast swing (August).

Billiards

We held our summer get together on June 9 at KS. We chose to have it indoors in the Placer Room due to the fact that weather is unpredictable this time of the year. The turnout was great, and a good time was had by all with plenty of food, drink, and socialization. Our next get together will be the Christmas party in December. If you would like to join the fun and sharpen your billiards skills at the same time, come join our mentoring sessions on Tuesdays at KS. The first session starts 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. Remember, we play indoors,

so the weather is not a problem.

Bird

We’re at the end of the season for birding expeditions. When the summer heat starts, quite a few of them are smart enough to head for cooler territory. Going to the mountains or the coast should give ample opportunity to see, and if you’re so inclined, photograph a nice variety of feathery critters. In early June, several of us went to the Sierra Valley on an overnight trip to explore the area. It was a very fruitful expedition. We meet at P-Hall (KS) at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month except August. Everyone is welcome!

Bocce Ball, Mad Hatters

Come join us on the bocce courts. We play Thursday mornings, and parking is available at the courts. If the summer high is less than 100, we’ll play from 9:00 to 10:30 AM. There’s a weekly email to let you know if we must start at 8:00 AM because it’s going to be hot. Most people come a little early, and teams are formed as players arrive.

A Measure of our Success

The focus is on recreation—not competition. We spend about 90 minutes on the courts, but you’re welcome to leave sooner. New, inexperienced, and handicapped residents are always welcome. Don’t know how to play? We’ll teach you. It’s a fun way to meet people.

still a special part of our club. We are planning a “day destination” Lake Tahoe ride in September, our annual Potluck on September 18, a multi-day getaway in Healdsburg on October 21-23, and our formal dinner at the Ballroom (OC) on October 30.

Neighborhood Watch

Part of our Mission Statement is to “...increase personal safety and security awareness, ... and to encourage preparedness.” The goal is to keep us safe. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and one way for us to help Emergency Responders provide us aid in such events is

to have a Vial of Life with essential information such as family/ friend/neighbor contacts, medications, hospital preference, allergies, pet information, doctors’ names, etc. Not only is it important to have such information on hand, but also to update it. Mailbox captains give the Vial of Life forms to their new residents; however, you also can fill out your own and place it in a baggy in your refrigerator. Emergence Responders have been told to look for such information.

For open play, all equipment is in the onsite locker with instructions inside. People of all ages and fitness levels can play shuffleboard; no bending or lifting is required.

As we traversed Kit Carson Pass, we enjoyed views of the Sierra Nevada, passing Silver Lake and Caples Lake. We reached Lake Tahoe and Harrah’s Hotel/

Sun City Squares

I can’t help but notice how square dancing is moving and changing in the 21st Century, into modern pattern dancing. Our club is moving in this direction, too. It’s all good. It’s worldwide, the music has changed, square dancers dress more casually, there’s a wider range of dancers, from five to 95, along with a younger age of callers. Callers are adding new formations. From six couples, hexagons, progressive squares, to kaleidoscope. For me it’s all good. This brings more people to the square dance party, helps me be alive, and have

fun square dancing. Our club dances Mondays 1:00 to 3:00 PM Mainstream and Plus, Tuesdays Advanced 3:00 to 5:00 PM, and round dancing Thursday 1:00 to 3:00 PM.

Suffering from Writers’ Block? Write about Pink Flamingos! June 23 was the day Americans paid homage to Don Featherstone’s iconic Pink Plastic Flamingos, which flew into Americans’ hearts and onto their lawns in 1957! Similar to most ‘50s fads involving Poodle skirts, sock hops, conical bras, drive-in theaters, and Davy Crockett raccoon skin hats, those birds almost died in many American front yards. Like all things plastic, they again became household knick-knacks, lawn ornaments, and earrings. People have even crafted Pink Flamingo burial urns! Bring 14 copies of your prose or poetry (under 1,300 words) to the Writers’ Group meetings. They’re on the second and fourth Mondays, 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Computer Room (OC). We’ll leave the door open for you! Contact: Anne Constantin Birge 909-965-3556, raybirge@aol.com

Water exercise helps relieve pain by decreasing weight-bearing and reducing joint stress. Meet in the pool area by the benches, dressed for the pool, and the trainer will assist you in/out of the pool and be in the pool with you. The trainer is unable to assist students in and out of the locker rooms or the parking lot. Do not forget your towel.

Wellness Life Coaching

Why A Wellness Coach?

A Lincoln Hills Wellness Life Coach is a professional who assists people in making progress toward attaining greater fulfillment in 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 the 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 to include 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.
