In the past two months alone, our community has seen three serious cycling incidents caused by drivers failing to stop at stop signs. Just recently, a resident cyclist was hospitalized after being struck by a car entering Del Webb Boulevard from Stoneridge. One week later, another resident cyclist was forced to crash to avoid being hit by a driver who actively accelerated through a stop sign at Creekcrest and Del Webb Boulevard, resulting in multiple impact injuries.
As your Board of Directors, your safety is our absolute priority. We are issuing this urgent reminder regarding traffic laws and community safety.
The Law is Absolute: A Stop Sign Means a Complete Stop
There is no California Vehicle Code that permits a “rolling stop,” a slow-down or proceeding through a stop sign because the intersection looks clear.
• The Painted Line Matters: Drivers must come
to a complete, absolute stop behind the painted white limit line and stop markings.
• Cyclists Have the Right of Way: Cyclists riding in designated bike lanes or on the roadway have the legal right of way when they do not have a stop sign. Drivers turning onto or crossing major thoroughfares like Del Webb Boulevard must yield to all oncoming traffic, including bicycles.
Let’s
Keep Lincoln Hills Safe
Our community is filled with active residents who walk, run, and ride their bikes every single day. A vehicle running a stop sign—even at low speeds—can cause devastating, life-altering injuries to a vulnerable cyclist or pedestrian.
We are urging every single resident to check their driving habits. When you approach a stop sign in Sun City Lincoln Hills, look, brake, and come to a full and complete stop. Let’s look out for one another and keep our streets safe.
A Note from the Executive Director
Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director
As we move into the summer season, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the newly elected 2026–2027 Board of Directors. We appreciate your willingness to serve the community and dedicate your time to helping guide the future of Sun City Lincoln Hills Community Association. I look forward to working collaboratively with the Board in support of our residents, staff, and community goals.
This time of year also marks the beginning of budget season, as staff and the Board begin planning for the Association’s future operational and reserve funding needs. Developing a responsible budget remains one of the most important functions of the Association, ensuring we can continue maintaining our facilities, amenities, infrastructure, and services at the level residents expect.
At the same time, we are closely monitoring California Senate Bill 1007 (SB 1007), which could
have a significant impact on homeowner associations throughout the state if enacted into law. As currently written, the bill would cap annual assessment increases at the rate of inflation, which is not clearly defined within the legislation. For communities like ours, costs such as insurance, utilities, fuel, food, labor, and reserve funding needs often increase at rates that exceed inflation. Limitations such as these could make it increasingly difficult for associations to properly fund reserves, maintain aging infrastructure, and continue providing the services and amenities residents rely on each day.
Several improvement projects across the community also continue progressing well. The Orchard Creek Lodge Refresh is nearing completion, and the Sports Pavilion and Del Webb Field restroom remodels have been completed.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our community.
The Sun City Lincoln Hills Election Day on May 14 was a success because so many members of our community chose to participate. The Election Committee extends its sincere appreciation to everyone who took part in the process.
We appreciate the volunteers who encouraged community members to run for the Board of Directors and who helped organize an election process that introduced the candidates, providing meaningful opportunities to learn about the candidates’ platforms.
We thank the five candidates who stepped forward to run for office and devote many hours
to their campaigns.
We are grateful for the dedicated volunteers who counted ballots on May 14. Many of these Election Day volunteers return for every election, and we were pleased to welcome and train new counters this year.
We value the many residents who attended the Candidate Town Hall and Candidate Forum to learn about the candidates, understand their goals for the community, and engage thoughtfully in the election process by voting.
A successful election depends on the willingness of members to become involved, and this year’s participation made all the difference.

Compliance Committee
Everyone Loves a Quiz
Sherry Mosby, Chair
With the new Design Guidelines available I thought it would be fun to see how many people read them. Pencils ready and sharpened.
Can you plant three trees in your front yard? Answer: Yes, that would be beautiful as long as you can maintain them. However, only one approved front yard tree is required.
How many qualified trees are required on your side yard if your home is on a corner lot? Answer: Two
What items are not allowed in your “private space?” Answer: Folding, plastic, or webbed patio chairs and traditional indoor furniture.
Is the use of bender board allowed along the sidewalk or driveway to keep the bark contained? Answer: No
Do you need ARC approval to repaint your house the same color? Answer: Yes, all you need to do is attach your previously approved paint application to a new ARC application and submit.
Are you responsible for maintaining the sidewalk along your property? Answer: Yes, your sidewalk must be free of fruit droppings, stagnant water, and debris.
Are overhead garage doors in compliance if they are factory white? Answer: Maybe, if the body or trim on your house is white, then factory white is acceptable, otherwise the garage doors must match the body or trim color.
In a front yard with turf, what percentage of the dirt area needs to be planted with bushes or ground cover? Answer: 50% distributed equally.
Is Lava rock allowed in the front yard? Answer: No.
Can residents run a business from their home? Answer: A home-based business is allowed only if it remains essentially invisible and does not change the residential nature of the neighborhood.
If you scored 100%, I will bring you an application to join our committee!
Architectural Review Committee
We Need Volunteers!
Bill Graham, ARC Member
The beauty and character of Sun City Lincoln Hills is no accident. It’s the result of thoughtful planning, ongoing care, and the dedication of residents who take pride in their community.
June is National Planning Month. Not really, but it should be. It’s the time of year that brings the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) a lot of applications to review and approve. These applications reflect the extensive planning efforts of Sun City Lincoln Hills residents eager to redo landscaping and hardscape, add outdoor lighting, paint the house, redo a fence, put in a pool or spa, or add a fountain, to name just a few. To make these changes and additions, residents need the approval of the Architectural Review Committee. The ARC is a committee of hard working SCLH volunteers.
We currently have a need for several new volunteers. The purpose of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is to review and approve all proposed improve¬ments, additions, exterior alterations, and landscape plans to determine conformity to the standards established by the CC&Rs and Design Guidelines and to promote the enhancement of the community. ARC’s goal is to make it as easy as possible for the homeowner to get through the application approval process and to understand the design guidelines as they apply to their specific applications.
If this sounds like something you’d like to be involved with, residents are encouraged to attend an ARC meeting to observe the meeting and fill out an application. We meet the second and fourth Mondays every month in Orchard Creek Lodge.
Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Support Groups
George Herrmann, Chair
In a 55-and-older community with an average age of 73, it is natural that many of us will need a little help as we age. That can be easy to forget as we move through our busy day-to-day lives. Fortunately, we have a remarkable group of people here who are ready to help when support is needed.
The CCOC refers to them collectively as “support groups.” Recently, I had the opportunity to meet with many of them to discuss their needs and explore how the CCOC can better support their efforts. We do this with all CCOC clubs and community organizations, but this group is especially meaningful because of the work they do for others.
Some are officially recognized clubs and others informal community organizations, but all share the same spirit of caring. They include Alzheimer’s-Dementia, Bereavement, Bosom Buddies, Hearing Impaired, Low Vision, Lavender Friends, Meditation, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s,
Properties Committee What Do We Actually Do?
Michael Mazikowski, Chair
During social events, the topic of volunteering for the Association often comes up. When I mention that I serve on the Properties Committee, the first question I usually hear is whether we inspect residents’ homes and yards. I explain that Compliance handles residential property—and that’s when I get to share all the interesting things we actually do.
In a typical month, our committee inspects one of the Association’s key assets, such as Orchard Creek Lodge. This includes the craft rooms, billiards, conference rooms, administration offices, and common areas. Inspections are scheduled in advance with the managers and Facilities staff.
Before each inspection, we review the Reserve Study to identify components that are at or near end of life. During the walkthrough, we assess whether the building and its components are safe and being maintained to the standard our residents expect. Afterward, we prepare a written report
and Neighbors Indeed.
Perhaps you are already a member of one of these groups. Perhaps you or someone you know has turned to them during a difficult time. I can tell you, without exception, they are among the finest people in this community.
Need transportation advice or help learning the bus system? Ask the Low Vision group. Want to connect your hearing aids to the Ballroom or Presentation Hall sound systems? The Hearing Impaired group can help. Lost a loved one? Bereavement is there for you. Facing a frightening surgery? Bosom Buddies has walked that road before.
I could easily fill this magazine describing the good these groups do every day. Look for their meeting times in the display cases and consider dropping in. You’ll be welcomed, supported, and very likely leave feeling better than when you arrived.
with detailed descriptions and provide it to the Board of Directors, Executive Director, relevant managers, and Facilities staff.
In addition to inspections, we hold monthly Workshops where staff present new project contracts or major reserve expenditures for our review and recommendation. If approved, these items move forward as action items in the following week’s committee meeting.
Our committee currently has nine members, and each one typically spends 12 to 16 hours a month reviewing contracts, attending meetings, and participating in inspections. It’s meaningful time that directly supports the quality, safety, and long term stewardship of our community’s assets.
In May we added a new team member, Dan Herbert. Dan was part-owner of a commercial and residential property management firm and served as a member of a local city council and mayor. We are looking forward to having him on-board.
Finance Committee
April Financial Report
Fred Raach, Chair
Budgeted net operating expenses for April were $964,000. Actual expenses were $991,000, $27,000 more than budgeted. The largest overage was $36,000 in Food and Beverage with the other departments’ small variances, netting to a positive $9,000.
Gross operating revenue in April was $44,000 less than budgeted and total gross expenses were $17,000 also under budget. Specifically, the cost of sales was $10,000 less than budgeted, personnel costs were $15,000 less than budgeted, administrative expenses were $9,000 more than budgeted, utility costs were $12,000 less than budgeted, landscape maintenance was $15,000 more than budgeted, and maintenance, supplies, and repairs were $4,000 less than budgeted.
The Association was $23,000 over budget at the end of March, and the April loss raises the yearto-date number to $50,000 over budget. The chart below shows how each department has performed against its budget for the first four months of 2026.
The Administration Department has improved its position since the unbudgeted $136,000 litigation settlement and associated legal expenses were recorded in February through increased income and lower personnel expenses than budgeted. Lifestyle’s revenue less cost of sales was below budget but more than offset by savings in personnel
costs. The Spa at Kilaga Springs also had less than budgeted revenue more than offset by smaller than budgeted personnel expense. WellFit’s revenue was more than budgeted with additional savings in administrative expenses offsetting the slightly over-budget personnel expense.
Food and Beverage revenue less cost of sales was $40,000 less than budgeted and personnel costs were $65,000 more than budgeted. Facilities and Landscaping had savings in administrative expenses ($2,000), personnel expense ($9,000), landscape maintenance ($123,000), and utilities ($44,000), and over budget expenses for maintenance, supplies and repairs of $51,000.
At the end of April, the reserve fund balance was $14.4 million, an increase of $971,000 since year end 2025. Additions to the fund from contributions and investment results were $1.325 million with $354,000 the year-to-date expenditures. Twenty-five reserve projects have been approved in the first four months for a total approved amount of $520,000. This year’s reserve study prepared by the Browning organization projected that $3.9 million of projects would be approved this year. While there are several large projects expected this year, it is not likely that the actual total will be that large.
The Community Enhancement Fund, available for new projects, was $360,000 at the end of April.

WellFit News
Men’s Health/Brain Health Month
Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director
June is Men’s Health Month, the perfect time to chart your course toward improved health and wellness. Keep up with regular health screenings, listen to your body when symptoms arise, and make mental health a priority by managing stress and staying socially connected.
Many men tend to gravitate toward the golf course, lifting weights or cardio equipment, but often overlook the benefits of group exercise classes. The truth is that men can do exercise classes too! Don’t miss out Thursday, June 18, as WellFit highlights how group fitness can help improve flexibility, strength, balance, and mobility. This pop-up class is designed to help you continue doing the things you enjoy most, whether that’s golfing, traveling, hiking, or playing pickleball. Staying active helps prevent injuries, improves independence, and keeps the body moving strong. Social connection is also essential to our health and well-being. Research shows loneliness can increase the risk of heart disease, dementia, stroke,
depression, and anxiety. Maintaining social connections supports better physical and mental health, reduces stress, and even promotes a healthier immune system. Group exercise classes are a great way to stay active while building friendships and community.
Men’s health is not just about physical fitness, brain health matters too. That is why we are excited to offer GNOME (Great Neurobics Once Monthly for Everyone). This class is offered once a month with the next one scheduled on July 3. Have you ever noticed your memory playing tricks on you, forgetting where you put something, or struggling to remember names and words? This class focuses on activities and techniques designed to stimulate memory, concentration, and mental sharpness.
This June, invest in your physical, mental, and social wellness and discover how staying active and connected can help you continue living your healthiest life. Women are invited to attend these classes too!
Looking Up to Our Veterans
David Wright, Roving Reporter
Celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday, we look up to the veterans who helped make it possible. We especially pay tribute to our own unsung heroes, the residents in the Lincoln Hills Veterans Group.
Whitney HS JROTC Color Guard at SCLH Veterans Day Ceremony
The club formed in 2001 with high numbers of World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans. In recent years, veterans of the Cold War and Gulf War have aged into the ranks.
Still, due to attrition and with fewer “youngsters” having volunteered for military service in the post-draft era, the club’s overall numbers have dwindled. Current membership stands at 149.
Peter Gilbert, an Army veteran and the club president, has been a Veterans Group member since he and his wife Lois moved to Sun City Lincoln Hills in 2004. Peter explains that the club is open to anyone who has served in the military, regardless of rank or branch. There are members who served three-year hitches and members who had 30-year careers; members who have fought on the front lines and members who held support positions; members who served during wartime and members who served during peacetime. “It’s all about the camaraderie,” he adds.
In addition to monthly presentations featuring guest speakers,
the club organizes the annual Memorial Day Service at the Orchard Creek Amphitheater and the Veterans Day Ceremony in the Ballroom. On the 15th of every month, club members sell American flags in the main lodge.
During their St. Patrick’s Day, Flag Day, Oktoberfest, and Christmas banquets, members can “stand down” while bonding over good chow and good chat. At every meal, one table is reserved for a POW-MIA (Prisoner of WarMissing in Action) as a symbolic gesture of hope that one day those warriors will come home.
This patriotic group bleeds red, white and blue. Whether having served on land, at sea, or in air, these vets share a common trait—pride. They feel the chill running up their spines during the National Anthem; the heavy hearts during the “two-bell” sendoff honoring those members who recently passed; and the lumps in their throats during the playing of “Taps.” This is a special group of people who traded the comfort of their families for the duty to their country.
As we look up to “Old Glory” unfurling in the breeze this Independence Day, let us salute the members of the Lincoln Hills Veterans Group for their part in preserving our country’s 250 years of freedom.

Looking Up With the Astronomy Group
Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter
Members of a Lincoln Hills club have stars in their eyes. Not reflections of celebrities, but the celestial kind found in the skies above. For Lincoln Hills Astronomy Group members, things are always looking up.
Imagine participating in a group whose origins are rooted in century-old practices! Astronomy was born out of humankind’s ancient fascination with the star-studded sky. Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese, and Maya civilizations all contributed to the science, each seeking to
under-stand celestial phenomena.
The Astronomy Group welcomes both novice and experienced stargazers who are seeking to understand the phenomena. Group activities enhance knowledge, observational skills, and offer socializing or “cosmic camaraderie.” Monthly general meetings launch with a segment, “What’s New in Astronomy,” followed by a guest speaker. Earlier this year, presenter Michael Warzecha treated members to a timely update of NASA’s Artemis missions, the most recent launched in April.
Ron Yelton shines as a club superstar. A telescope aficionado, he retired as an American Airlines pilot intrigued with comets. Now, he sees himself as a “President Emeritus,” having served as the group’s past president, yet remaining active since joining in 2015. Ron guides two diverse interest
groups: Cosmology, the study of the evolution of the Universe and Telescope, observing with a telescope. He leads the club on monthly “star parties” where residents and families are invited to set up their telescopes and observe. “It’s a peaceful and quiet experience,” Ron says. “Some people have never really ‘looked up’!”
During one such party, observers had a chance to look up at the flyover of the International Space Station, after being alerted to its proximity by NASA’s app, ‘Spot the Station.’ “It was visible for less than five minutes, but it was exciting,” club member Carla LaFave remarked.
Ron is also a proficient astrophotographer, visiting conferences and sites near and far, mentoring, and giving presentations. His website displays his luminous work—fantastic images of galaxies, nebulae, and planets taken or processed by him or with the help of live remote operated telescopes. “It’s amazing to see the myriad of beautiful objects,”
Ron said.
Next month, our nation celebrates its semiquincentennial or 250 year anniversary. The United States, always defined not by where we are, but where we can go, leads the world into the future with space exploration. For Astronomy Group members, space may not be the “Final Frontier,” but rather, more opportunities to keep looking up.

As Eye See It
Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter
“Oh, say can you see?...”, opening words of our national anthem, will be heard this year as we celebrate 250 years since the signing of The Declaration of Independence and the founding of the USA. The question is, “Can you see?” Eye changes occur commonly with aging, a few of which will be mentioned here. It is important to detect and treat eye changes early on so vision loss or blindness can be prevented.
Difficulty seeing close up for things like reading fine print or sewing is common. This condition, called presbyopia, usually starts after age 40 and is caused by stiffening and loss of flexibility of the lens in the eyeball. Correction requires glasses, contacts, or the newest treatment with prescription eyedrops. Additionally, aging eyes take longer to adjust and focus in the dark due to the weakening of retinal cells called rods. Driving at night or in poor weather may become difficult and unsafe.
Cataracts develop over time, and it is estimated that at least half of those over age 75 will have them. The vision is decreased or lost as the lens in the eye becomes cloudy like an onion. Surgery to replace the lens is the treatment.
Glaucoma is a result of high pressure build up in the eyeball and can lead to blindness. Regular eye exams that take pressure readings are the best way to detect glaucoma and prevent vision loss. Eye drops or sometimes surgery is the treatment.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes damage to the central vision. Regular dilated eye exams are critical for detection and early treatment of one of the leading causes of blindness. Treatment depends on what type of AMD it is.
Prevention of eye problems and early treatment are the best bet for preserving your vision for tomorrow. The NIH National Eye Institute offers good recommendations to keep your eyes healthy and protect your vision.
• Get regular dilated eye exams from an ophthalmologist or an optometrist.
• Learn if your medical problems or family history put you at higher risk for certain eye diseases.
• Take care of your overall health with a healthy diet, exercise, and no smoking.
• Wear sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation when outside in the sun and even on cloudy days. That’s how eye see it!
Emergency Information and a Safety Forum = Self Care
Judie Panneton, Neighborhood Watch
Would first responders know whom to contact if you were in trouble, like having a health emergency? That necessity recently came into play at the Kilaga Springs parking lot when a resident lost consciousness. Firefighters and paramedics arrived in response to a 911 call and when the woman’s friends were asked for her emergency contact, they only knew her daughter’s first name. Thanks to knowledgeable firefighters, the woman’s cell phone was opened and her daughter’s phone number was found.
Did you know that first responders can access a locked phone
for health data and emergency contacts if you have pre-programmed your Medical ID information and emergency contacts? It works on both iPhones and Androids and you can find a video online or contact your cell carrier.
Another way to protect yourself in emergencies is to provide confidential, emergency contact information to your village’s Mailbox Captain, who also has free materials to list medications and health care preferences that are kept in the house.
Find out other ways to keep yourself safer by attending the Neighborhood Watch Safety
Forum on July 14 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in the KS P-Hall. First responders, including firefighters, will be among those sharing valuable information.
You can sign up for safety alerts here: sclhwatch.org/signup-for-alerts and learn how to protect yourself and be better prepared in case an emergency arises. Any questions – contact executivedirector@sclhwatch.org.
A big thanks to Mailbox Captains and Coordinators who attended training in early June to better serve you as they provide valuable information to keep you as safe and knowledgable, as possible.

Bird
As of this printing, our official excursion season is over. We’ve had great outings, near and far, to places like Effie Yeaw, Staten Island, Cosumnes, Vic Fazio, Gray Lodge, Sacramento NWR, Colusa NWR and many sites right here close to home.
The next season will start in September. Stay Tuned! But one of the neat things about birding is that you can do it wherever you are. Visiting family near Hamburg, Germany, I got this little beauty last April. A lot closer, you should get results along the coast at places like Bodega Bay, Moss Landing, or Mendocino County. Get your email on our list, and you will receive announcements with full information of coming events! We meet on the second Monday at 1:30 PM in the KS P-Hall. Come on by!

Chorus
The dust has settled on our How the West Was Sung concert, and the reviews are in: it was a triumph! From soaring cinematic themes to rugged campfire ballads, the chorus captured the spirit of the frontier, drawing near-capacity crowds. These milestone performances showcased our ensemble’s range and depth. As we look toward our ambitious fall season, we are looking to bolster our sound and are calling for tenor and bass singers to join our ranks. If you enjoy performing and can commit to a weekly rehearsal schedule, we could use your power and resonance to round out our upcoming repertoire. Rehearsals resume in early September.

Partner Fred Jaicks shot under par on the back to qualify for the NCGA regionals. The team of Mike McQuireBack and Ray Otis also played a very solid round of golf and was our second 2-Man team to move on. Congrats to both teams, and good luck in the next round!

Does your doctor remind you to get a little more exercise? Walking or hiking can be two of the best ways to meet that goal. Our club offers two levels of walking and a variety of hikes to help get some exercise. Walk for Wellness meets twice per week and offers

Lawn Activities Friends
Sticky Wicket. Well not really. Sticky wicket is a cricket term, not croquet. A wicket (small gate or door in Websters) is the “hoop” you have to get the ball through in croquet. Our croquet locker currently has five different wicket sets. The association has two “standard”
sets of English style four-inch wickets. They are very hard to clear. We also have a “stretched set of standard wickets that are eight inches and much easier to play. There are also two sets of “backyard” wickets you would recognize from your childhood days. Missing is the set of wickets we started playing with twelve years ago. They have an eight-inch yellow wooden bar across the top with 12-inch tines to stick in the ground. If you borrowed them, we would appreciate their return.

Mah Jongg, Chinese
All you early risers, make use of the longer days 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 Cards Room a few minutes before 9:00 AM on Monday 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 noon.

Wow. We had a full house at our last meeting on May 14. The discussions of “Mr. Burton” and “The Devil Wears Prada 2” was lively and informative. We shared a lot of opinions about the High Fashion industry and the early life of Richard (Findley) Burton. How did a coal miner’s son become a world renown star? We had fun selecting the two movies for our discussion on June 11 in the OC Multipurpose Room.

Schools
It’s time to be thinking about volunteering in our Lincoln schools for the Fall 2026 school year.
Teachers look forward to the help from our volunteers in grades K through 5 and at Phoenix/Atlas High School. Phase 1 of the renovations are completed at the high school, and the new campus has attracted high schoolers who are interested in working at their own pace with individual instruction to graduate from high school. The district will provide the steps needed to volunteer, including a TB clearance and fingerprinting, which the district
pays for. Teachers rely on extra help and appreciate every hour the volunteer spends in the classroom. If you are interested in tutoring math, history, or English at Phoenix/Atlas High contact Irma at jmeidm@aol.com. If your interest is in elementary school placement contact Cyndi.

Scrabble
By the time this prints we will know who’s on the ballot to become the new California Governor. We have had 40 so far. Of those 40, 22 had at least a first or last name that would be an acceptable Scrabble word. Our first governor was Peter which means to diminish gradually. Of the first 10 governors, 8 had an acceptable Scrabble name. Surprisingly, there were 5 whose both first and last names are acceptable Scrabble words: Newton Booth, Henry Gage, Cooper Pardee, Clement Young, and Earl Warren. Only 12 of the 61 on the 2026 ballot have an acceptable Scrabble name. We will soon know if our 41st governor is one of those. Join us Mondays at 1:00 PM in the OC Cards Room to play Scrabble.

Shalom Social
There is always something going on with the Shalom Social Group. Sometimes it’s educational, sometimes it’s entertaining, sometimes it’s spiritual, sometimes it’s culinary, sometimes it’s a mix of two or more of these characteristics, but we always have a good time when we get together! This was certainly true at our late-May picnic — good food, music, bocce ball, lawn games, board games, and exciting prizes at our raffle.

Through cultivation and flow of the body’s life force known as “Chi,” this form of exercise has been known to improve a variety of ailments.
