Board of Directors’ Report

Scott Boore, Board President

As of May 14, Sun City Lincoln Hills welcomed a newly seated Board of Directors. Since that time, your Board has begun establishing priorities and goals for the coming year.

One of our first major initiatives has been the start of the annual budget process. Our objective is to develop a budget that reflects accountability and prudent stewardship of Association resources while continuing to maintain the high standards that have helped make Sun City Lincoln Hills California’s premier active adult community.

The Board also continues its ongoing review of the Association’s reserve program. Ensuring that our reserve studies and funding plans remain accurate and current is essential to protecting community assets and supporting long-term financial stability.

Another area of focus is communication. We are evaluating how we communicate with residents and

exploring opportunities to improve the timeliness, clarity, and effectiveness of information shared with the community. To encourage greater engagement and dialogue, we have established dates for both Town Hall meetings and Board Office Hours, providing additional opportunities for residents to ask questions, share concerns, and learn more about Board initiatives.

In addition, the Board is working to establish and clarify guidelines that maintain appropriate distinctions between governance and day-to-day operations while ensuring effective oversight and accountability. Clear roles and responsibilities help create a strong partnership between the Board and management, allowing both to serve the community more effectively.

We appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to working together to preserve and enhance the quality of life that makes Sun City Lincoln Hills such a special place to call home.

A Note from the Executive Director

Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director

Summer is officially underway at Sun City Lincoln Hills, bringing with it music, excitement, and progress across our community.

We recently kicked off our Summer Amphitheater Concert Series, one of our most anticipated traditions of the year. The first concerts have drawn enthusiastic crowds, with residents and guests enjoying great music, dancing, and the opportunity to connect with neighbors under the stars. We look forward to many more memorable evenings throughout the season.

Beyond the festivities, several important projects are underway to enhance and preserve our community amenities.

Exterior painting is in progress at both Kilaga Springs and Orchard Creek Lodges. These projects will refresh the appearance of our buildings while

helping protect and maintain these important community gathering spaces for years to come.

At Kilaga Springs, work also continues on the pool renovation project. This investment will ensure the pool remains safe, functional, and enjoyable for residents well into the future. We appreciate everyone’s patience as improvements are completed and look forward to reopening an updated and refreshed facility.

Summer at Sun City Lincoln Hills is about more than events and projects—it’s about continuing to invest in the places and experiences that make our community special. As we move through the season, we look forward to sharing more updates and celebrating all that makes this such a wonderful place to call home.

Here’s to a summer filled with music, progress, and community spirit!

Architectural Review Committee

Happy Birthday, USA!

Chris Strittmatter, ARC Member

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, we have an opportunity to reflect on our nation’s history, achievements, and the enduring principles that our founders strived to achieve.

Here in Sun City Lincoln Hills, we share that same spirit of community. We support one another, appreciate our beautiful surroundings, and work together to make our community the best it can be. Just as our nation’s founders dedicated their time and effort to a greater cause, the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) encourages residents to get involved and consider becoming a committee member. Your participation helps preserve and enhance the quality of life we all enjoy.

ARC meetings are held twice each month on the second and fourth Monday at 9:00 AM. We invite

you to attend a meeting, observe the process, and learn more about what we do. The ARC is here to help residents understand the application process and assist with any questions regarding project approvals. After applications are reviewed, applicants are promptly notified of their status, so they can move forward with their projects.

For your information, the revised Design Guidelines, effective April 2026, are now available on the SCLH website. These guidelines help maintain the consistent, attractive, and harmonious appearance of our community for everyone to enjoy.

As we celebrate our nation’s milestone birthday, let us also continue building a strong future for Sun City Lincoln Hills through volunteerism, participation, and community pride.

Compliance Committee

Compliance: The Unsung Heroes of Curb Appeal

Sherry Mosby, Chair

Let’s face it, no one loves getting a violation letter. But the Compliance Committee’s process plays an important role in keeping our community looking its best while making sure everyone is treated fairly and consistently.

Here is the good news: this isn’t a “make it up as we go” system. Here in California, we follow established laws, including the Davis-Stirling Act and California Civil Codes. These guidelines are in place to protect homeowners and ensure that the process is fair for everyone.

So how does it all work? In Sun City Lincoln Hills, it starts when a complaint is submitted through Community Standards. Each complaint is documented and sent to the Compliance Committee with no names attached. Once a committee member confirms there’s an issue, a First Violation Notice is sent. From there, homeowners

have 30 days to take care of the issue and notify Community Standards. If we don’t hear back, a Second Violation Notice is sent giving another 30 days. Once the issue is reported as resolved, Compliance verifies it and sends a closure letter— always a good day!

If a violation is still outstanding after 90 days, the homeowner is invited to a Compliance Committee hearing. That’s simply an opportunity to talk things through. The Committee may allow more time or, in some cases, send the matter to the Board of Directors with a recommended action.

Following California Civil Codes isn’t optional, it’s essential. These laws outline the timelines and procedures we must follow. Your Compliance Committee is made up of volunteers who truly care about our community. We’re all neighbors, and we all share the same goal: keeping Sun City Lincoln Hills a place we’re proud to call home.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Who Do You Call?

George Herrmann, Chair

It’s the middle of the night. You wake up to a beeping smoke alarm telling you the battery is low. The bathroom is already dark because an overhead light has burned out. Summer is arriving, and you know the furnace filters need attention to keep energy costs down. But the ceiling is out of reach, and climbing ladders is no longer an option.

What do you do? Who do you call?

Not Ghostbusters. You call Neighbors InDeed.

If you’ve used their services, you’re one of more than 7,000 requests they handle each year, nearly 30 calls every weekday. As our community continues to age, the need for their volunteers increases.

Few organizations do more for our residents than Neighbors InDeed. In addition to their three most common requests—replacing smoke alarm batteries, changing overhead light bulbs, and replacing

furnace filters—they help with many other small but important tasks that allow residents to remain safe and independent. They also maintain a list of trusted vendors for jobs outside their scope, such as plumbing, roofing, sprinkler repairs, and electrical work.

Now this organization that has helped so many of us needs our help.

You don’t need special skills. If you can replace a light bulb, change a refrigerator filter, or program a sprinkler timer, you can make a difference. They also need dispatchers and volunteers to return residents’ calls.

Please consider giving a few hours of your time. Someday, you or someone you love may need the same helping hand.

To find out more and become a volunteer, contact Neighbors InDeed at 916-223-2763

Communications and Community Relations Committee Two-Way Communication – Strategic Plan

Patricia Woolery, CCRC Member

One of the guiding principles of our strategic plan focuses on listening, engaging, and responding to residents. The CCRC is committed to delivering on this goal. Of course, this can only be done with your help and active participation. What you are interested in and find important benefits all of us. We want and encourage your feedback about subjects and concerns you want heard and addressed. Here are some ways to actively engage.

1. Participating in a Board of Directors Office Hours meeting. They are held in an informal setting and are not recorded; we want you to feel comfortable in a more intimate setting. This is an excellent forum to raise topics of interest. At the last meeting, a variety of topics were covered from e-bikes to street repairs to governance. Join us on Thursday, August 13 at 9:00 AM in the OC Multimedia Room.

2. Attending Leadership Desk – Live. Jessica Sedgwick, our Executive Director, along with rotating department leaders, can get to know you and respond to your questions and concerns.

3. Engaging at quarterly Board of Directors Town Hall meetings where you have an opportunity to ask questions and get answers by talking with our Board of Directors. The next Town Hall will be Thursday, October 8 at 9:00 AM in the OC Ballroom.

4. Joining the monthly Board and Committee Meetings in person or on Zoom. Our upgraded remote capabilities were designed so we can reach more residents. Our goal is to “get the word out.” Recorded meetings can be found on the Resident Website.

We are listening closely so we can respond in a meaningful way. All the above are great ways to connect with our neighbors and staff.

Finance Committee

May Financial Report

Fred Raach, Chair

Net operating expenses in May were $964,000, $51,000 less than budgeted. May’s results eliminated the over-budget amount at the end of April, improving results to $1,000 better than budgeted for the first five months.

Gross operating revenue in May was $27,000 less than budgeted and gross operating expenses were $78,000 under budget. Significant expense changes in May were the cost of sales—$11,000 more than budgeted, administrative expenses—$36,000 less than budgeted, utility costs—$21,000 less than budgeted, and landscape maintenance—$30,000 less than budgeted.

The chart below shows how each department has performed against its budget so far this year.

The Administration Department benefited in May from the timing of election and Association mailings and a refund of legal expenses for the litigation settlement in February, which now has been paid by the Directors and Officers insurance policy.

Lifestyle’s May revenue was $15,000 less than budgeted, primarily due to lower income from classes, events, and trips. Lifestyle continues to have lower personnel expenses, which offset some of the lost revenue in May.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs also had less than budgeted revenue in May, but more than offset

by savings in cost of sales and personnel expense, increasing its net revenue for the year by $5,000.

WellFit’s revenue was $1,000 over budget, but personnel expenses were $13,000 over budget from sick time and staff training, reducing its year-todate positive to budget amount by $10,000.

Food and Beverage’s May revenue, less cost of sales, was $23,000 less than budgeted and personnel costs were $15,000 more than budgeted, raising its over-budget amount for the year by $38,000.

Facilities and Landscaping expenses in May were $67,000 less than budgeted, primarily due to $16,000 savings in personnel expense from turnover, $30,000 savings in landscape maintenance from deferred projects and $21,000 savings in utilities.

At the end of May, the Reserve Fund balance was $14.3 million, an increase of $875,000 since year end 2025. Additions to the fund from contributions and investments were $1.355 million reduced by $480,000 year-to-date expenditures. Thirty reserve projects have been approved in the first five months for a total amount of $928,000.

The Community Enhancement Fund, available for new projects, was $371,000 at the end of May. Of this amount, $92,267 is shown as committed, to the Pickleball shade structure, which will be significantly reduced when the Club’s donation is booked.

Properties Committee

Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement

Rick Marks

Sun City Lincoln Hills is a beautiful planned Community with an amazing number of amenities and buildings. As we all know, nothing stays in good condition, remains operational, or lasts forever without the cost of maintenance, repair, and replacement.

The Bylaws provide that annually the Properties Committee inspect the Community’s buildings and grounds to determine they are safe and properly cared for and shall report to the Board of Directors and the Executive Director on their condition and any maintenance and replacement needs.

Examples that have come before the Properties Committee during my year as a member include:

-Repainting, recarpeting, and the purchase of new furniture for the Orchard Creek Lodge

-Repainting the exterior of both the Orchard Creek and Kilaga Springs Lodges

-Repairs to Community water features

-Replacement of the Orchard Creek kiln

-Construction of new Pickleball Courts shade structure

-Renovation of Sports Plaza restrooms

-New Fire Safety doors for the interface of Meridians Restaurant and Orchard Creek Lodge

-Repair of an Orchard Creek Lodge leaking roof

-Bocce Ball Court bumper replacement

-Significant repairs to the indoor pools and pool areas

What criteria should be used to reach a decision regarding maintenance, repair, or purchase of new equipment for our very diverse facilities and amenities? Depending on the situation, here are criteria I use:

Emergencies; health and safety matters; functionality of important systems, features, assets; important unmet or under-met Community needs; important or significant opportunities. In every case I try to determine who benefits (how many residents) from the proposed expenditure and improvement.

That’s what I have seen and looked at. I’d like to hear from YOU. How would you go about making recommendations for maintaining and improving our facilities?

Celebrate Parks and Recreation Month with Us!

Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director

July is Parks and Recreation Month, a time to celebrate the incredible parks, trails, and outdoor spaces that help keep our communities healthy, active, and connected. Living in Lincoln gives us access to beautiful walking trails and scenic outdoor areas right in our own backyard, making it the perfect opportunity to take your workout outside.

Research shows that exercising outdoors can improve mood, reduce stress, increase energy levels, and provide a greater sense of well-being. Spending time in nature also encourages social connection, which plays an important role in both physical and mental health.

To celebrate Parks and Recreation Month, WellFit is offering “A Great Class with a Great View.” This fun and engaging outdoor class will take participants along the beautiful Kingfisher Trail while introducing the outdoor fitness equipment located at the trail head.

During this class, you’ll learn how to safely and effectively use the exercise stations while enjoying a workout surrounded by nature. The class will include light strength, stretching, and walking, making it suitable for a variety of fitness levels. Whether you’re new to exercise or looking for a fresh way to stay active, this class is a great way to explore the resources available right outside your door.

The outdoor fitness equipment is a wonderful community asset that many residents may pass by without realizing how much it can enhance their fitness routine. This class will provide simple tips and techniques that you can continue using long after the class is over.

Lace up your walking shoes, grab a water bottle, and join us for a great workout with an even greater view. Let’s get outdoors, stay active, and celebrate the parks and recreation opportunities that make our community such a special place to live.

Summer: The Perfect Time to Try Something New

Kelly Berto, Director of Lifestyle

Summer has a way of opening doors.

Perhaps it’s the longer days, warmer weather, or simply the feeling that life slows down enough to make room for new experiences. Whatever the reason, summer is the perfect time to step outside your routine and try something you’ve always wanted to do.

Many of us spend the year following familiar patterns, attending favorite club meetings, walking the same trails, playing with the same golf groups, and gathering with longtime friends. While there is comfort in routine, there is also excitement in trying something new.

Research shows that learning new skills and pursuing new interests can boost mental sharpness, confidence, and overall happiness. Fortunately, this community offers countless opportunities to explore something new close to home.

Have you seen our new Lifestyle classes? Get creative in the Beaded Suncatcher Class, where you’ll create a colorful piece to brighten your home or garden. Or join our “You Can Sing” Series, a welcoming program designed to help participants build confidence and discover the joy of singing, no experience required.

Looking for entertainment? Have you attended one of our SACS shows? With a variety of performances throughout the season, there’s something for everyone. Upcoming shows include The Big Jangle, a tribute to Tom Petty, ABBA Fab, and The She Gees, the only all-female Bee Gees tribute group.

As summer unfolds, ask yourself one simple question: What is one thing I’ve always wanted to try? Then take the first step.

You may discover a new hobby, a new friendship, or a new passion. After all, some of life’s best adventures begin with the words, “Why not?”

Playing in the Clouds

David Wright, Roving Reporter

In continuing our tribute to the heroes who helped America reach its 250th birthday, we salute retired Air Force Colonel Frank “Fuzzy” Furr. Before he and his wife Lani moved to Sun City Lincoln Hills last year, Fuzzy had his head in the clouds…literally. He piloted the U-2 “Dragon Lady” spy plane.

In 1964, after graduating from North Carolina State University and its ROTC program, Frank was commissioned into the Air Force.

He got his nickname while flying F-102 fighters in Germany. The scheduling sergeant listed him on the roster as “Lieutenant Fuzz,” a reference to the Beetle Bailey comic strip character and a play on his “sir”name. With the last name Furr, Frank was destined for the callsign “Fuzzy.”

The early years of Fuzzy’s 28-year Air Force career took him into the Vietnam War as a Forward Air Controller flying treetop levels through enemy fire “marking targets and supporting Special Forces on the ground.”

After frequently dodging the bullet in an OV-10 Bronco, he volunteered for the unique U-2 program, and his career soared to new heights.

The U-2 is a high-altitude reconnaissance plane designed to gather photographic intelligence from the “edge of space.” It

operates at 70,000 feet requiring the pilot to wear a spacesuit similar to astronauts.

While the aircraft is challenging to fly, it is even more challenging to land. The pilot’s extremely limited visibility makes it necessary for a co-pilot, driving a chase car behind the plane during landing, to call the pilot down. On Fuzzy’s first solo flight, he taxied off the runway pavement. Thinking he would be washed out, he started to unstrap. His instructor told him to stay put, reassuring him, “there are two kinds of U-2 pilots: those who have run off the runway and those who will run off the runway.”

The following 12 years, Fuzzy became quite proficient flying the Dragon Lady—logging 1300 hours, gathering strategic intelligence, and doing tactical reconnaissance. The plane is wellsuited for overseeing dynamic combat operations. Its data link can transmit photos in real time and, unlike satellites, the U-2 can change course at will.

Fuzzy eventually became commander of the elite 99th Reconnaissance Squadron at Beale AFB, taking his last flight on July 27, 1984. Spending his subsequent years at the Pentagon, he retired in 1992. Asked what he misses most about his Air Force career, Fuzzy responds, “the camaraderie… and playing in the clouds.”

Fact or Fiction: Debunking America’s Favorite Myths

Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

Stories have been circulating about facts we learned in elementary school, regarding the Fourth of July and surrounding events. Historians say some may not be true, but rather myths and legends passed on through the years. While we are still basking in the glow of fireworks and recovering from an overdose of hot dogs and hamburgers during the 250-year celebrations, take a minute and ask yourself, “How well do I know America’s history?”

Here’s a quick quiz.

1. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4. True or False?

Actually, the Continental Congress voted on July 2, 1776 to declare independence, but the document was not officially signed until August of that year.

John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 was going to be the day future Americans would celebrate. (Thank goodness. The “Fourth of July” has a better ring to it than the “Second of July.”)

Adams added: The day “ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Americans didn’t first celebrate independence until July 8. The British in London found out

about it on August 30. (Guess they didn’t get the text.)

(The answer is false.)

2. Thomas Jefferson alone wrote the Declaration of Independence. True or False?

Not a great orator, Jefferson, better known for his dapper demeanor and keen prose, was the document’s lead writer. However, he was not its sole scribe. To shepherd the process, a committee was formed which included John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Robert Livingston of New York, each providing ideas and organization.

(The answer is false.)

3. Betsy Ross made the first American flag. True or False?

Some say George Washington himself asked Betsy to create a flag. However, there is no proof or evidence that Betsy, a well-known local seamstress and upholsterer, did or did not design, sew, or play any part in flag history. The tale didn’t materialize until her grandson told the story a century later. You’ll have to visit the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia and draw your own conclusions.

(The answer is maybe.)

These are just a few historical (some hysterical) myths we’ve mistaken as facts over the past 250 years. What might the next 250 years reveal?

Committee of five created the Declaration of Independence

July is full of celebrations

When We Were Younger

Tom

Quallick, Roving Reporter

For those 55-year-old new residents, the City of Lincoln approved construction of Sun City Lincoln Hills in January 1998 which means you were 27 years old when the Lincoln Hills Foundation was cast in the mind of Del Webb.

Del Webb created a niche market for active adult 55-andover communities yet also knew resident needs will change over

time which is Del Webb’s spirit of philanthropy so you can stay here longer and stay independent. Some residents who were physically active can no longer participate in activities they once enjoyed. Kim Hewitt, Vice President of the Lincoln Hills Foundation, explains the money is distributed in grants out to Support Groups and community non-profits. All the work is done by the community partner Support Groups that are providing the service.

At a recent Placer County Transportation meeting in the KS Presentation Hall, the topic of Dial-a-Ride was discussed. At the end of the presentation, a resident stood up while someone held the microphone for her and in a firm voice spoke of her experience with Dial-a-Ride. She said that thanks

to the Lincoln Hills Foundation that offers a discounted price for Dial-a-Ride, she is able to visit her husband every day at a special care facility for fifty cents. When life unexpectedly pulls the rug out from under you, the Foundation has resources to help navigate your way through the grieving process. Lincoln Hills residents make up the largest donor group as well as the people that need the Support Group’s help. On-going contributions to Support Groups include: the Salt Mine, Hearing Support, Alzheimer’s/ Dementia Caregivers, Multiple Sclerosis, Bereavement, Low Vision, Neighborhood Watch to name a few. Of note, the Salt Mine requested funds to buy a pallet jack since the volunteers handling the donated heavy food cartons were seniors and physically unable to lift them.

The Lincoln Hills Foundation has monthly meetings on the second Monday of the month in the OC Computer Room at 9:30 AM. Meetings are open to guests and each month one of the grantees presents how they are making an impact with the funding provided and discussing future needs and how to best serve the community.

Be Neighborly – Be Safe

Judie Panneton, Neighborhood Watch

When Neighborhood Watch Mailbox Captain Lorraine Immel saw an ambulance arriving to pick up a neighbor, she leaped into action and asked the resident if she could be of assistance as her gurney was being loaded into the vehicle. “Can I lock your doors or close windows?” she inquired. It’s second nature for Immel (and coordinator Marilyn Koregelos) to be of service to their neighbors, whether it’s during times of emergency (Lorraine has some of their keys/codes) or alerting someone about an open garage door. “It is

so rewarding to be of service to people!” she said. “I can’t believe how many times people tell me they don’t know their neighbors and I suggest they start small and invite some people over for coffee.”

Security experts note that small actions, along with neighbors knowing and keeping an eye out for each other, add up to communities becoming safer places to live.

Why not organize a neighborhood get together and start planning a social event for the National Night Out event that

happens here on October 6 at the Sports Pavillion, where residents will gather and interact with first responders who will inform and answer questions? How about an event in your own village? Don’t know where to begin? Neighborhood Watch offers an August 15 brainstorming potluck from 6:00-8:00 PM in the KS Multipurpose Room. Attendees will share ideas. Some will win prizes for safety trivia answers, and everyone can get to know more neighbors. Stay tuned for more details.

Summertime and the Livin’ Is Easy

Rick Carreiro

Here are helpful tips to keep our homes safe while on vacation:

Secure Doors and Windows: Double check that all doors and windows are locked, deadbolt and security bars, rods are in place.

Use Timers for Lights: Set timers on indoor lights using physical timers or newer digital web programs. Dusk to dawn exterior lights are helpful.

Stop Mail, Newspaper and all Deliveries: Have the Post Office put your mail on hold or have a neighbor collect it.

Don’t Advertise Your Absence: Avoid broadcasting your absence on social media. Consider, directly

sending photos and information only to close friends.

Use a Home Security System: Security cameras are a visible deterrent to intruders, some are monitored on cell phones. Have your neighbors keep watch on your property and report any suspicious activity.

Secure Valuables: Store any valuables like jewelry, important documents, and electronics off site or in a safe.

Maintain Your Property and Yard Appearance: Keep your landscape and home wellgroomed while absent.

The Water Main: It is in the garage close to the main garage

door itself. Also, make sure that your toilet connections are up to date. Fountain pumps may be of concern and handled by a plumber or local handyman.

Spare Keys and Property

Checks: Leave spare keys with a trusted neighbor, possibly notify local security, Lincoln Police for any extended absences.

Taking precautions reduces the risk of burglary and property damage, creating an enjoyable vacation. BON VOYAGE!

Remember, we don’t answer the phone. Leave a message at 916-223-2763 and we will call you back from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday.

In Memoriam

Brenda Cook

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Brenda spent most of her life in California. She and her husband left the fast-paced Southern California for rural Northern California where they became successful business owners and raised their daughter while enjoying the region’s natural beauty, from ski slopes and lakes to golf courses. Brenda was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She and her husband explored the region in their motorhome and after his death she continued to travel with friends. Here she enjoyed Lincsters, pickleball and Mahjong, concerts and walking her dog. She is remembered by her vibrant personality, generosity and devotion to family. Brenda is survived by her stepson, daughter and two granddaughters.

Ballroom Dance

The Ballroom Dance Club is teaching tango in July. Sal and Ruth Algeri are instructing beginners, while Jim Smyrak and Lia Dresner are instructing intermediates. Initially danced in Buenos Aires’ slums, bars, and brothels, the tango was shunned by Argentina’s upper class as scandalous, indecent, and associated with illicit behavior. By the 1900s, travelers and sailors introduced the tango to Europe. Wealthy Argentines studying in Europe saw its popularity in Paris and brought it back home, ending the upper-class resistance. The tango became a global craze. The 1930s and 1940s marked the “Golden Age” of tango, transitioning from

a dancehall novelty to a respected musical genre. Today, traditional Argentine tango is recognized globally as a symbol of cultural pride. Photo is Mike Martin and Jamie Gutheil.

Bird

Our official excursion season is over for the summer. A lot of the birds find it too hot and dry to stick around, so they head for the hills or the coast. The next season will start in September. But in the meantime, we can keep our feeders full, and also, water is especially important this time of year, so keeping a birdbath full would be especially helpful. Keep your camera handy. Larry White got this lovely Bullock’s Oriole in Woodland last April. Get your email address on our list, and you will receive announcements

with full information of coming events! We normally meet on the second Monday, 1:30 PM at KS P-Hall. But we do take a break in August, so we hope to see you in September. Come on by!

Bocce Ball, Mad Hatters

We play bocce on Thursday mornings. The equipment is provided, and parking is available at the courts. During summer, games begin at 8:00 AM, and most people arrive a little earlier. Teams of 4 players are formed on-the-fly each week so just show up! It’s fine if you only come occasionally. Despite everyone wanting to win, the focus is on recreation—not competition. We spend about 90 minutes on the courts. New, inexperienced, and handicapped residents are always welcome. If Thursday mornings aren’t convenient, there’s also a fun drop-in bocce group that plays on Mondays at 9:00 AM. You’ll also find the very social Night Owls on the courts on the first and third Tuesdays at 7:00 PM.

Cribbage

Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve played the cribbage call. From Lincoln down to Rocklin, I must’ve played ‘em all. And I ain’t seen nothin’ like him in any cribbage hall. That deaf, slick, and old guy, sure likes to beat us all. He sits like a statue, becomes part of the scene. Feelin’ all the numbers, and always playin’ clean. Plays by intuition, he plays against the odds. That deaf, slick, and old guy sure likes to beat us all. He’s a cribbage wizard, there has to be a twist. A cribbage wizard’s got such a supple wrist. How do you think he does it? (I don’t know) What makes him so good? Recent Winners: Ray Cook, Jean Westvoid, Jerry Carlson and Mel Switzer! Tuesdays, 8:30 AM at the OC Card Room.

Hikers and Walkers

The warm weather of summer requires all of us to adapt and that’s true for our club activities as well. Our walking groups adjust by starting a bit earlier with their walks, trying to catch a bit of cooler air in the morning. You can join our Walk for Wellness group on Mondays and Wednesdays to

enjoy a walk while socializing on our local trails. Our Wednesday Walkers set out at 7:30 AM, walking at a moderate pace while navigating a different local trail each week. For our hiking activities, most summertime hikes take us up into the Sierras, where we can enjoy the trails and scenery while the elevation provides us with some cooling.

Currently our primary lawn activity is croquet. We have all the equipment for badminton and corn hole, but everyone seems to prefer croquet. We meet Tuesday mornings at 9:00 AM, well before the heat kicks in, and we play on a beautiful lawn comfortably shaded by old growth

trees. The view from this patch of grass located behind the bocce ball court is breathtaking. Between shots we enjoy the view to the Buttes, and to the distant Sierra Nevada foothills. No dues, no sign-ups, just swing by. And we know what you’re already thinking so don’t worry about lost skills; none of us have played this game since we were kids.

Get a jump on the day and enjoy our beautiful morning weather by joining 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’re happy to teach (ask for Peter). 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 SCLH resident and are interested in an informal and fun way to start the week, please drop into the OC Card Room a few minutes before 9:00 AM on Mondays during our setup period. We have everything needed to play so just come on by. Official play begins at 9:00 AM and continues until 12:00 PM.

Scrabble

Yee Haw! Recently, our Rv Club gathered here in Lincoln for a good old-fashioned Hoedown. Our special guest was Norman the Bull, who gave us the opportunity to display our finest roping skills. Delicious food, fun line dancing, and good company was the perfect recipe to kick up our heels before we hit the road for our summer travels. A special thanks to Terri and Cindy for making it all come to fruition. Still on the calendar for this travel season are club rallies to Heber City in Utah and McCloud in Northern California. Unfortunately, we couldn’t squeeze Burning Man into our tight schedule for 2026. Remember, all types of RVs are welcome. To learn more, see our website and join us on the second

The district will provide the steps needed to volunteer, including a TB clearance and finger printing. Volunteers follow the teacher’s guidance and collaborate with her. Teachers rely on extra help and appreciate every hour the volunteer spends in the classroom.

Sports Cars

People often ask why I drive a car that seats only two, is less comfortable than a sedan, and often costs more to maintain. The simple answer is that you are either a car-person or you aren’t. Sports cars appeal to enthusiasts because they combine performance, style, and excitement in a way few vehicles can. Their quick acceleration, responsive steering, powerful engines, and unmistakable sound create a strong connection between driver and road. They also stand out visually, with sleek lines and distinctive designs that make every drive feel special. Beyond the car itself, they build community through clubs, rallies, and groupdrives. For many owners, a sports

car is more than transportation— it is enjoyment, pride, and memorable experiences behind the wheel. The LHSCG has road-trips planned for this summer—hope you can join us!

Live Ball is the tennis workout that aims to check all the boxes: action, camaraderie, fitness, and, most of all, fun! Live Ball is a doubles-style game in which rotating pairs compete to gain and maintain control of a “champion” side (kind of a “king of the hill” thing). 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.
