Board of Directors’ Report
Marie Barnes, Vice President
Happy trails to you! When I was looking for a place to retire, a major plus for Lincoln Hills was the awesome trail system. I love staying active and being in nature, so the trails here are important to my sense of well-being. When the daily stressors overwhelm me, I know I can put on my walking shoes and leave everything behind as I traverse the trails and enjoy the flora and fauna. This time of year is especially refreshing. As you walk along, the wildflowers are in bloom and create bursts of color, yellow, purple, red, and orange. Even the so-called weeds add to the beauty of the fields. Springtime also brings the sights of wildlife renewal. If you are quiet, you will see baby geese, ducks, and other birds at the pond, as well as fox kits and juvenile coyotes at the salt flats. If
you are lucky like I was last week, you get to see a juvenile bobcat watching as the tall grasses were being mowed around his home shrubbery.
I am a member of the Line Dance Club and Country Couples, and you often hear the Happy Trails music when our events are over. It reminds you that you are part of a close-knit dance “family” that is never very far away if needed. This is truly a blessing, especially at this point in our lives.
Sometimes we need to be reminded of the beauty surrounding us and the wonderful connections we form with others who call this place home. As you walk the trails, friends you have not met yet often stop and discuss the joys of the sights surrounding you and how the sky and the sun lift your spirits.
Hope to see you on the happy trails!
Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Happy Trails
George Herrmann, Chair
Happy Trails is this month’s Compass theme. Several clubs in Lincoln Hills are on some sort of a trail. The Ski Club took a trip where they skied Mt. Bachelor near Bend, Oregon, on many happy trails. The Bird Club spends most of its time on Lincoln Hills trails, with the Ferrari Pond Trail near Anglers Cove as its favorite. Although the Men’s Golf Club plays locally, they have been known to blaze trails by hitting errant shots, forcing golfers on unmarked trails where no man has gone before. The Ladies’ Lincsters 9-Hole Golf Club drives, chips, and putts along the scenic and happy trails of the Lincoln Hills golf courses every week. A favorite trail of the Hikers and Walkers Club is the five-and-a-half-mile Mount Judah/Donner Peak loop and 360º views, including Donner Lake. The trail is named after Theodore Judah, who
discovered the route of the Transcontinental Railroad through the Sierras. This club walks every Wednesday to explore our own Lincoln Hills trails. Their favorite is the Elderberry Trail, which has open grasslands, majestic oaks, and ponds, and offers many wildlife sightings. The Motorcycle Club recently took a ride on back roads to Lockeford Sausage. They had lunch on the way, enjoying time and scenery with friends. The Cyclists riding in and around the American River Parkway recently had six riders complete a thirty-eight-mile loop, eleven complete a twentyfour-mile loop, and one celebrate his birthday with seventy-nine miles. The RV and Sports Car Clubs find themselves on their own trails. If you want to find a happy trail, then join one of these clubs. In the words of Roy Rogers, “Happy trails to you, until we meet again.”
Architectural Review Committee
What’s All the Barking About?
Greg Kevin, Chair
“The best walks come with wagging tails and happy trails.” – Unknown. Recently, with the renewed awareness and interest in fire safety, one of the most frequently asked questions the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) receives is about bark. Not the kind of bark from your neighbor’s dog at 4:00 AM on a quiet morning, but rather the landscaping kind of bark. There seems to be two distinct packs on bark here in Lincoln Hills; either you love your bark, or you hate it.
First, to understand the great bark off, you must understand the rules. The Design Guidelines 6.9.3, simply states that bark must cover visible dirt areas and irrigation lines. The Design Guidelines specifically state if there is visible ground. There are many ways to cover bare ground without the use of bark.
Bark has been used in Lincoln Hills for the past 25 years as an economical, drought-tolerant method to control weeds and cover dirt and irrigation lines. However, the use of bark is not without its risks, as it has the potential to smolder and burn in the event of a fire. Lincoln Hills does restrict the type of bark that can be used, prohibiting the most flammable types. Many alternatives allowed by the Design Guidelines can be used to reduce or eliminate the use of bark in your yard. You can put in grass or a lawn, artificial turf, cement walkways, pavers, low ground cover plants, low bushes, or increase the amount of river rock and cobble. You are only limited by your imagination. As always, the ARC is here to answer your questions. No matter which pack you belong to, there are always wagging tails along the happy trails!
Compliance Committee Safe Travels
Sherry Mosby, Chair
The song “Happy Trails” always makes me smile with the memory of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans singing it in the 1950s at the end of their shows on radio and television. The song’s name was based on the fact that Roy often signed his autographs “Happy trails, Roy Rogers,” which was a folksy way of wishing someone well and safe travels.
There’s something special about a walk on a quiet trail. It clears your head, lifts your mood, and reminds you why you chose to live in a neighborhood like this one. Lincoln Hills offers a network of beautiful walking trails winding through green spaces, shaded by trees, and connecting us to each other and the place we call home. But keeping these trails safe and enjoyable takes effort and cooperation. That’s where our HOA guidelines come in. Whether cleaning up after your dog, staying
off restricted areas, or respecting quiet hours, the rules are not meant to be a hassle. They are about preserving what we all value: clean, safe paths for walking, jogging, or pushing a dog in a stroller. When one neighbor lets their dog off-leash or leaves trash behind, it doesn’t just break a rule—it breaks the shared trust that keeps this community strong.
Happy trails do not happen by accident. They are the result of careful planning and neighborly respect. Our HOA maintains the trails, but it is up to all of us to follow the guidelines that protect them.
DID
YOU KNOW…Lincoln Hills has 26 trails of wildlife preserve and neighborhood trails. Some rules apply: dogs must be on a leash, they are for resident use only, no smoking, and no motorized vehicles are allowed.
Properties Committee
Happy Trails
Michael Mazikowski, Chair
We are fortunate to have 16 trails covering over 26 miles of beautiful wildlife preserve and neighborhoods. The trails are rated from easy to moderate and challenging. If you haven’t got a copy yet, a wonderful pocket booklet detailing the trails, including beautiful wildlife pictures, is available at the Guest Services desks. As a gentle reminder, please respect our wildlife and habitats and stay on the trails.
Properties Committee members take great pride in inspecting the trails to ensure their beauty and safety are maintained. In addition to inspecting the trails, we also observe the condition of the connecting trail bridges on the Elderberry, Kingfisher, Orchard Creek North, and Anglers Cove.
Upon completion of our inspections and observations, we provide a comprehensive written report to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director,
and the Facilities Department. Furthermore, during our monthly meeting on the first Thursday of the month at P- Hall (KS), we present the report along with photographs and recommendations for improvements and/or repairs.
If you see things that may need attention while enjoying our trails, please email the Facilities Department or the Properties Committee so they can be addressed.
I would like to say that during our trail inspections, we have met many friendly, smiling people in passing, which reminds me of the song by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, “Happy Trails to you, until we meet again. Happy trails to you, keep smiling’ until then.” So, as we walk these great trails in our community and pass by our neighbors, friends, and even strangers, I think how lucky we are to be able to share a smile and lift a hand in greeting… happy trails to you, enjoy the journey!
Communications and Community Relations Committee
Are You Prepared for the Summer Heat?
Denise
Bowden, Chair
The Communications and Community Relations Committee (CCRC) has been asked to lead a team communicating fire safety information to the community. The team is made up of the Chairs of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC), Properties Committee, the Communications and Community Relations Committee (CCRC), the Community Standards Department, Neighborhood Watch, and residents with experience implementing fire safety protocols in prior communities. Over the next months, we will provide information about wildfire concerns and steps residents can take to be as safe and prepared as possible.
Topics that will be addressed include but are not limited to: the weather getting hotter with average temperatures getting higher each year and how it impacts us, homes in Lincoln Hills that are 25 years old with landscapes installed 20 years ago that have matured and now contain overgrown and unhealthy plants, and the possibility of drought
still existing despite decent rainfall and steps that can be taken for drought tolerance.
We will look at open space concerns and steps residents can take to be as prepared as possible, with suggestions, checklists, and resources for both their homes and personal safety. We will also look at home insurance and the growing challenge of obtaining coverage.
The Fire Safety Team plans to provide information to residents about these concerns and potential actions residents can choose to take to improve wildfire safety for their homes, landscaping, and community. Residents are not required to take any specific action, but it is important to keep the community informed through sources like Compass and electronic communications.
Watch for informational meetings when topics are chosen and speakers are available. If you have questions, suggestions, or topics you would like to know about? Email ccrc@sclhca.com or mailbag@ sclhca.com
Finance Committee
April Results
Fred Raach, Chair
The Association reported net results for April that were $66,000 better than expected in the budget, increasing the positive variance for the year to $96,000.
In the first four months, gross revenue was $7.2 million, $4.8 million from dues and $2.4 million of income from operations, which was $47,000 more than budgeted. Total expenditures were $7.1 million, including $787,000 added to the reserve fund, $84,000 added to the Community Enhancement Fund, and operating expenses of $6.2 million. The operating expenses were $49,000 less than budgeted.
The chart below shows the net results for each department.
The Food and Beverage Department remained over budget, but had a very favorable April, with gross revenue of $420,000 and expenses of $406,000, producing net revenue of $14,000, $28,000 better than budgeted.
The Administration Department’s April performance was $29,000 better than budgeted, largely as a result of lower than expected personnel costs and savings from not having a general election mailing.
In April, the Communications and IT Department increased its positive-to-budget results by $21,000 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, and better than budgeted
revenue from Compass ads and the Home Health and Business Showcase.
The Lifestyle Department was able to generate a $1,000 increase in its positive results from savings in personnel costs that offset the loss in net revenue from activities during April.
The Spa at Kilaga Springs continued to have lower than budgeted spa services revenue, positive results for accessory sales, and personnel cost savings in April, netting a $2,000 decrease in its year-to-date positive result.
The WellFit Department’s revenue exceeded the budgeted amount in April despite a decline in class revenue resulting from the Orchard Creek indoor pool closure. Personnel costs exceeded budget primarily because of training for all employees on workplace issues. Net revenue was $5,000 less than budgeted for the month.
The Facilities and Landscape Department’s net revenue declined $6,000 in April due to over-budget expenditures for repairs and landscape maintenance, partially offset by lower than expected personnel and utilities costs.
Reserve Expenditures - In April, reserve expenditures were $662,000, dominated by the costs of the Orchard Creek Ballroom renovation and indoor pool repair, and a payment toward the cost to replace the cardio equipment at Orchard Creek and Kilaga Springs fitness areas. Reserve expenditures for the year-to-date are $1.1 million.
Lifestyle News and Happenings
It Started with the Whistle
Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager
I have so many wonderful memories of family road trips from my youth. My father loved to drive, so there were countless trips. We traveled to Wisconsin to see his family and to British Columbia to see my mother’s family often. We were lucky that my maternal grandparents could join us on a few of the cross-country trips. My dad also loved just to drive to explore the vastness and beauty of northern Nevada, where we lived. I went with him often on those Sunday trips. Just the two of us, making memories, which I so cherish.
My dad also liked to sing and would often start a conversation by singing a song lyric. I would hear him sing “Hello, my friend, hello” (just as beautifully as Neil Diamond) as a salutation when he would call his long-time customers. He would sing The Music Man’s “76 Trombones”
when he would pick up my sister and me from band events. (We were both trombone players.) I think my favorite was when we were packed, and in the car, ready to depart on a long trip, and the whistle would start. He whistled the tune for a bit before joyfully singing the lyric “Happy Trails to You.” Then we were off, filled with anticipation and excitement.
I hope those of you who are traveling this summer have opportunities to make memories with your family. Maybe you are lucky enough to have children and grandchildren come to visit you here in Lincoln Hills? If so, bring them to an amphitheater concert! Or, create something wonderful on the bus trip to see Blank Space, the Taylor Swift Tribute concert, on July 14. I promise you, your children and grandchildren will cherish those memories.

WellFit News
Navigating the Trail through Wellness and Fitness
Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director
“Navigating a trail through wellness and fitness” is a powerful metaphor — envisioning your journey to health as a trail evokes adventure, intention, and progress. Here’s a guide you can use to chart your personal trail map:
Core Pillars of Wellness and Fitness (your compass) mindset and mental health practices: meditation, journaling, therapy, and gratitude. Start each day by checking in with your mental state, like you would with a compass before setting out.
Physical fitness (your footsteps forward), strength training, cardio, flexibility, and mobility to build stamina, strength, and functional movement. Mix activities to keep the trail interesting, think of strength as steep inclines, cardio as long stretches, and stretching as moments to rest and reflect.
Nutrition (your trail fuel), balanced meals, hydration, and mindful eating. Nourish your body and maintain energy. Think of food as the fuel in your backpack – choose clean, sustainable options
that help you go the distance.
Recovery and sleep (your campsite), consistent sleep schedule, rest days, and stress management. Let your body rebuild and reset. Do not underestimate the importance of rest. Every hiker knows the value of a good night’s sleep before another leg of the journey.
Connection and purpose (fellow travelers) community, accountability partners, and life goals. Stay motivated with support and deeper meaning. Share the journey, it’s easier and more enjoyable when you’re not walking alone
WellFit can provide a trail path for you as well. Starting with your mental health and recovery by participating in Hypnosis for night sleep class or improving your physical fitness through one of our 100-plus classes.
Just like hiking, the journey to wellness is not about racing to the finish but learning to love the trail with its ups and downs and breathtaking views.
For some trails, look no further than your own backyard
Happy Trails to Use
David Wright, Roving Reporter
Lincoln Hills’ 18 trails stretch 26 miles down neighborhood sidewalks, across cascading streams, and through the natural habitat of our exclusive 490-acre wildlife preserve. Each trail has its own personality. Trailblazing sole-searchers can find their stride with varying levels of exertion, from easy to moderate to challenging.
The Seep Trail is a cut above
Take a lazy Sunday morning stroll on the shady lane
of the Ferrari Ranch Trail. Or powerwalk the riparian forks of the wildflower-rich Orchard Creek Preserve. Stop at secluded Mallard Pond to ponder life with ducks, turtles, and beavers.
Explore the Ferrari Pond and Wetlands Trails for an exhilarating trek flanking Ingram Slough and the marshes fed by the Ba Mu Ma salt springs, once used by Native Americans. A naturelover’s paradise, birders, photographers, and artists will have a field day as shorebirds, raptors, coyotes, and otters strike a pose.
For a higher aerobic workout, ascend the Spring Valley and Seep trails. You may be winded by the time you get to the top, but the breathtaking panoramic valley vista is well worth it, and like most of our trails, there are benches to rest a spell. For a little extra oomph, the Kingfisher Trail offers our only outdoor strength
and conditioning station, preparing users to step it up a notch, climbing a meandering stairway to heavenly views of the Sutter Buttes.
“Bobcats, wild turkeys, and deer, oh my!” Follow the yellow dirt road of the Canyon Oaks and Elderberry Trails, where unpaved pathways take you on an eerie journey under spooky oak canopies, over creaking bridges, and alongside mystical rock outcroppings. But make sure you stay on the path and keep Toto reined in. This is rattlesnake country; you do not want to surprise any slumbering serpents.
Want a more educational experience? Trails Enhancement Team captain, Gay Mackintosh, hopes to revamp the docent-led group hikes where residents can mingle nature lessons with cardio sessions. Meanwhile, hoof-it-yourselfers can read the interpretative signs at each trailhead, track mileage markers along the way, or get a photo-filled guidebook sold at our Fitness Centers. All were created by Trails Team volunteers in conjunction with the Photography Club, Association staff, and Wildlife Heritage Foundation.
The Elderberry Trail is a rockstar
Our happy trails await. So, pick up a free trail map at the Guest Services desks (see the following two pages for the trail map) put on your walking shoes, and take a step in the right direction. The path to an active lifestyle begins at the end of our driveways.

Flower Photography on Nature’s Happy Trails
Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter
No matter what the season, if the weather is good, you might find Bill and Dorothe Kress walking on one of the 18 Fitness and Wildlife Preserve Trails that winds through Lincoln Hills.
After moving here from Southern California in 2013, one of their first questions to fellow residents became: “Where can we go for a walk or a hike?” They learned quickly about the trails –a few are even close to their home – and have been covering ground
ever since. One of their favorite Lincoln Hills trails is the Canyon Oaks Trail – peaceful, unpaved, and with long slopes.
But the Fitness and Wildlife Preserve Trails hold a lot more for the couple. True, they are avid hikers and members of the Hikers and Walkers Club, but they are also devoted photographers and members of the Photography Club. Photographing wildflowers, whether on nearby trails or outside of the community, has bloomed into their passion.
Bill, retired from the color imaging industry, captures the delicate and often microscopic details of wildflowers seen in his vast collection of photos. He also volunteers as a docent at the UC Davis Jepson Prairie Reserve, where he shares his knowledge of vernal pools and flowers with the touring public.
Dorothe, originally from East
Germany, is a popular local author, whose latest book, “The Risk: Forbidden Love Behind the Iron Curtain,” has garnered several awards as well as appearances at the Kilaga Library’s “Meet the Author Lecture Series.” She is currently writing a sequel to “The Risk.”
Bill and Dorothe are members of the American Orchid Society, where Bill has been recognized for his striking photos of orchid varieties. In fact, one photo landed on the cover of the Society’s January 2024 Orchid Magazine.
“Walking the trails in search of flowers to photograph is a great pastime Bill and I can enjoy together,” Dorothe shared. Her favorite flower is the Native Hibiscus ; Bill’s is the Ithuriel’s Spear.
Bill and Dorothe savor their time on the trails, whether it be to stay fit or snap photos. They encourage others to “take it all in.”
“We see many people on the trails wearing earbuds, looking down, concentrating on their exercising,” Bill says. “I want to say, don’t forget to look up. There are so many things to see and hear –wildlife, birds, insects, and colorful wildflowers along the paths. Stop and enjoy the view!”

Hiking The Trails: Some Ps and Qs
Shirley
Schultz, Roving Reporter
Going hiking? Then plan, protect, and prevent to stay healthy on the trails. Lincoln Hills touts 26 miles of wildlife preserve and neighborhood trails for residents to perambulate. Some paths traverse partially through village sidewalks, but most amble through open spaces and wildlife preserves with captivating views.
Avoid getting lost on unfamiliar trails by carrying a navigation system, such as a map and a compass. Expect the unexpected. Carry with you some form of communication device to call for help in an emergency. Your device may have settings that will allow helpers to locate your exact spot.
Always carry some form of ID, even on short hikes. Think about some motherly advice, “Make sure you wear clean underwear in case you end up in an emergency room.” Clean underwear is less important than your ID, because, in true emergencies, people may waste life-saving time if they do not know who you are or whom to contact. Also
carry the list of medications you take.
Protect yourself from the elements. Use sunscreen with an SPF factor of at least thirty or higher on exposed skin to block dangerous ultraviolet (UV) sun rays, and wear sunglasses that block UV rays to your eyes. Several companies make UV-blocking sunglasses for your canine companions as well. Attire for hiking varies based on weather conditions, but should include a hat, windbreaker or poncho, and comfortable hiking shoes. Don’t pussyfoot around in high heels, slippers, or loose-fitting shoes.
Prevent dehydration by carrying water with you when you go hiking. Many factors affect how much water you need, but start with at least 16 ounces for a 1-hour hike. We all lose hydration through the skin with sweating, the lungs with breathing, and with urination. Those who have to “go” frequently need to hike trails where a potty is fairly accessible, such as at Anglers’ Cove or near the golf course.
Consider how vigorous your hike will be and carry some snacks to meet your energy needs. To avoid low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), make sure to eat protein before hiking, but carry some hard candy like Life Savers for rapid glucose absorption in case it is needed.
Safe Trails are Happy Trails
Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch
Whether you take a walk on one of the many trails available to Lincoln Hills’ residents or take a short walk around the block, safety is key. Wearing the correct shoes and comfortable clothing, and remembering to leash your dog, are just the basics.
Preparing for a mishap, how-ever, can bring peace of mind for a safe and happy trail wherever you decide to walk. During the Annual Community Safety Event, Neighborhood Watch provided safety and security information directly from visiting Lincoln Police and Fire personnel (visit sclhwatch. org for event video). Additional information was also provided on how to set your mobile phone for easy Medical ID access, referred to as the Mobile Vial of Life (Lifesaving information for emergencies).
The online link to download the instructions is as follows: https://sclhwatch.org/pagedownloads/ MOBILEVialofLIFEFLYER2025.pdf.

Should
I Stay or Should I Go?
Rick Carreiro
As the song says, this is a time for decisions, and here are steps to take if you go on vacation. Secure your home by locking all the doors, windows, and garage entries. Putting a stick in the patio door guide is an extra step for safety. Set your lights on a timer to create an at-home look. Put mail on vacation hold and have neighbors check your property while you’re gone.
Unplug all non-essential electrical items such as the television, computer, coffee maker, and other appliances, which saves energy and prevents fire hazards. Turn off your water main in the garage to avoid a possible flood and adjust your water heater to the low summer setting. Set your thermostat at 85 degrees, reducing cooling costs, but it is safe for plants and electronics.
For more safety information, plan to attend the special “Driving Safety Event” to be held on June 19, 12:30 PM, P-Hall (KS). Local officials will be presenting helpful driving safety tips and answering your questions. A future event is slated for August 23, as the annual “kickoff” to National Night Out (NNO). This event prepares residents for the October NNO event, which is always the first Tuesday in October. This “kickoff” is not only an information gathering event but also a wonderful potluck. Email nnocoordinator@sclhwatch.org for more information. Be safe. Attend Neighborhood Watch events to be more informed. Informed residents are safer residents. Now choose your happy trail and go take that walk!
Empty the refrigerator of all perishables according to the length of your vacation and take out the trash. Freeze items you choose to keep and enjoy upon your return. As a reminder, many garages heat up in summer, so keep heat-sensitive items inside the home.
Finally, turn off all exterior items such as fountains that may need manual water refills. This can prevent overheating or even fires. You are now set to relax and enjoy your vacation without worry. Bon voyage!
As always, please call the Neighbors InDeed phone line at 916-223-2763, leave your name, phone number, and a message. We will return your call from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

On April 26, our club hosted its Spring Potluck, themed after the disco era. The Multipurpose Room (KS) was meticulously transformed into a 1970s ambiance, complete with a mural replicating a vintage dance floor. Members enthusiastically donned their best 1970s attire, with bell bottoms and vibrant shirts. John Kirkwood was recognized for the most impressive male ensemble, while Emma Blandon was crowned the most elegant female. David and Stacey Reynolds were selected as the most stylish couple. A poignant moment
of the evening was the recognition of Sal and Ruth Algeri. Rob Ryerson, master of ceremonies, spoke of the Algeris’ unwavering dedication to the Ballroom Dance Club. Participants expressed their gratitude through a signed thank-you card and gift card.

Big History
The Modern Age, beginning around 1500 CE, marks a transformative era in Big History. This period saw rapid advancements in science, exploration, and global interconnectedness. Driven by the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, humanity developed innovative technologies, reshaped political systems, and expanded global trade networks. Industrialization accelerated change, leading to urbanization and significant shifts in human society and

We’re nearing 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. Meanwhile, at the May meeting, we had a fascinating guest speaker. Kate Marden from the West Coast Falconry in Marysville gave a fascinating presentation that included three of their birds which even flew around the room for us. We meet at P-Hall (KS) at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month except August. Everyone is welcome!

Book
Every year, our club donates to support our Lincoln Library through Friends of the Lincoln Public Library. Michelle Davis, our wonderful fundraising coordinator, shared that we exceeded our goal, donating over double the original goal. This donation is particularly welcome as funding sources for the Library have decreased. The book selection for May, Project Hail Mary, was well facilitated by Sherry and Stu Singer, which allowed for very enjoyable discussion. June’s selection is Oath and Honor by Liz Cheney. July’s selection is Identity by Nora Roberts. Come join the discussion; we meet in
the Multipurpose Room (OC) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM on the third Thursday of the month. You may sign up there to receive the club’s monthly reminder and essential notifications.
We thank our members for donating $652 to Welcome Home Housing, a non-profit organization in Sacramento that provides affordable housing and services to individuals with mental illness.

Ceramic Arts
This is the time of year when springtime and clay come together. Please meet our steering committee president, Al Newton. Al started working with and throwing clay around two years ago and has combined his love for working with clay with his love for growing bonsai trees to create large vessels for his trees to grow and thrive in. Al caught the clay bug early and spent many hours taking classes and working in the studio learning to throw small pots and then building on his experience into throwing and hand-building very large pots to hold his unique bonsai trees. Al’s goal is to become an accomplished ceramic artist focusing on making artistic functional pieces to enjoy and bring joy to others.

Neighborhood Watch
Many assumptions are made about elderly drivers, especially by the youngest age groups. Despite their conclusions, the age group most likely to cause traffic accidents is 16-24. Nevertheless, older adults find their driving capabilities often decrease as they age. Older adults may experience problems with decreased physical, cognitive, and visual abilities that can impact their driving. Factors such as medication side effects, stiff joints, and weaker muscles can contribute to driving risks. Although causing fewer We want our neighbors to stay safe

SCHOOLS
The Lincoln schools are out for the summer, so teachers are charging their batteries, and students are taking a break. Now is a good time to consider volunteering in grades K-5 this Fall. Most volunteers enjoy contact with the children but there are also opportunities to help the teacher with various kinds of paperwork. One day a week for a few hours is a big help to a teacher. No experience is necessary, just a desire to improve the students’ learning experience. Phoenix High School will be opening in the fall like a new High School. They will be looking for tutors in Math, English, and History in the late fall. Contact Irma at jmeidm@ aol.com for more information. To

Flowers are in full bloom as we roll into May. We had a busy month with two main events. On May 5, we hosted our third Mini Car Show at KS, featuring over 20 beautifully maintained cars. Members enjoyed a Mini-Tailgate event with treats provided by Jane and Bill Hall, offering a great opportunity for socializing and admiring each other’s vehicles.

I’m sure woodcarvers have heard discussions about whether woodcarving is a craft or an art. If an item is carved from a pattern or an idea is copied from someone else, does that make me an artist, or does it have to be an original idea? I’m not sure it really matters. The main thing is to create something that pleases you or brings joy to one that receives the gift of the carving. The club has a very large library of magazines, books, and some DVDs that may help or inspire the current project or the next one. Woodcarvers meet every Wednesday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM in the Sierra Room (KS). Come visit and see us in action.
For 155 years, Memorial Day has been for Americans to mourn and honor service members of the United States Military who rest
in America’s 144,000-plus cemeteries. Because the brave women and men provided us with the freedoms we enjoy today, it’s a privilege to thank them for their courage and sacrifice. If you’re one of the millions of people who attended the May 26 Memorial Day services and possibly placed a small 50-star United States flag at a Veteran’s grave, we hoped you tipped your hat, said his or her name, and said, “Thank you for a job well done!”

A Course in Miracles
This is a study group for the book called A Course In Miracles. Why do we study this book? The answer is because it teaches us how to change our minds from an egocentric belief system to one based on unity and love which totally changes our lives and produces miracles. We are told that what we put out, we get back, meaning that our actions are a result of our beliefs and our thoughts, and that these produce our experiences. We gather on Sunday afternoons twice a month to discuss these concepts and share our experiences with them. Call 916-409-5253 for more information.

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.
