ASSOCIATION NEWS Board of Directors’ Report David Mateer, President During last year’s budget process, staff updated information on our facilities. That included estimating which items are due for refresh during the coming years. Some of those items are now being actively worked on, while others are being reviewed and prepared for approval to move forward. Staff and the Board are working together to evaluate and prioritize which items should be completed this year and next.

Some of these items, such as water heaters, you will never see. However, many of the items are clearly visible within our facilities. This includes updating certain original lighting and preparing the outdoor pool for the summer. Staff have also been working on a project to refresh the Orchard Creek Lodge lobby and craft wing. This project will work through the Committee reviews and come to the Board on March 26 for consideration.

I have also heard from many residents that we should consider a similar refresh for the Kilaga

Springs Lodge lobby and rooms.

In addition to these tangible items, the staff, Committees, and Board continue working to improve our Association’s operations. This includes governing documents like Design Guidelines and Rules and Regulations. We are also reviewing and strengthening various aspects of our operations, such as the Accounting Policies, facility reservation procedures, and the use of Zoom for meetings.

During these activities, the Board seeks to remain a premier community for our residents while ensuring we use our staff and financial resources effectively to best serve everyone. This is truly a team effort with contributions from everyone.

There are several opportunities to contribute by joining a committee and being part of the team.

Please also take some time to learn about the Board candidates in this year’s election and remember to vote. This is an important part of being a member of our community.

A Note from the Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director Ma rc h i s Women’s Hi stor y Month, a time to recognize the contributions, resilience, and leadership of women throughout history. It is also an opportunity to reflect on how leadership continues to evolve, becoming more collaborative, innovative, and focused on serving communities in meaningful ways.

At Sun City Lincoln Hills, leadership is not defined by title alone. It is reflected in how we care for our facilities, how we invest in long-term planning, how we support employees, and how we communicate with residents. Over the past year, many of our strategic initiatives have focused on strengthening the foundation that supports our community every day.

We have expanded the use of technology and asset management tools to better protect community assets and support long-term financial sustainability. Preventive maintenance programs are being strengthened to help extend the life of our facilities while maintaining the quality residents expect. We are also continuing to invest in employee

training, safety programs, and operational improvements that help ensure services remain reliable, efficient, and resident-focused.

You may also see leadership in how we communicate. Through expanded Compass articles, Executive Director updates, and new resident engagement opportunities like our upcoming Leadership Desk Live town halls, we are working to create more transparency and connection across the community.

Recognizing Women’s History Month is not about excluding anyone — it is about acknowledging history while continuing to build opportunities for leadership at every level. Strong communities are built when people with different perspectives, experiences, and ideas work together toward shared goals.

Here at Sun City Lincoln Hills, leadership happens every day, through employees, volunteers, committee members, and residents who step forward to serve, support, and improve our community.

And that is something worth recognizing and celebrating.

Dr. Frank Menkel I studied Biochemical Engineering in Germany and the United Kingdom before relocating from the UK to California in 1994. Throughout my professional career, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry with companies such as Bayer, Genentech, and Roche, gaining experience across a broad range of disciplines. My roles spanned Plant Engineering, Capital Planning, Project and Strategic Planning, Procurement, and Risk Management, providing me with both technical depth and organizational perspective. I became a U.S. citizen in 2003.

I married in 1995, and in September 2024 my wife and I moved to Lincoln Hills. I retired in March 2025 and, shortly thereafter, joined the Lincoln Hills Finance Committee, where I contribute my professional experience in planning and financial oversight. Earlier in my career, during the late 1990s, I also served as President of a Homeowners Association in Walnut Creek, further strengthening my background in community leadership and governance.

Beyond my professional life, I maintain a strong interest in creative and outdoor pursuits. Photography has been a long-standing passion, and I recently published a photography book on Amazon. I also enjoy running, hiking, and mountain biking, which keeps me active and connected to the outdoors. To further explore my artistic side, I design and create sculptures using driftwood, found objects, and a generous dose of imagination, blending natural materials with creative expression.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Architectural Review Committee Reflecting On the Last Four Years Jeanine D’Anneo-Belli My four-year term with the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) came to a close in February. As I depart, I would like to take a moment to share a few reflections.

I joined the ARC shortly after my husband and I moved from Gold River to Sun City Lincoln Hills in July 2021. Coming from a community known for its stringent HOA guidelines, the ARC felt like a natural fit. As the saying goes, you never know where a simple “yes” will lead.

I initially volunteered to better understand our community and incorporate that knowledge into my life as a full-time realtor. However, my “yes” led to something far more meaningful—the people. I was privileged to serve alongside truly wonderful individuals, learning from them, sharing laughter, and working through challenges together. I was

also proud to encourage two other homeowners to join the ARC, both of whom became tremendous assets to the committee.

Though I’ve never been much of a “joiner,” at 65 I’ve come to understand the true power of teamwork. The ARC underwent many changes during my four years. Yet, through it all, we helped countless homeowners and always managed to find moments of humor along the way. I will deeply miss our Monday meetings and the homeowners we served, but I leave with the hope that I helped make the process a little easier and that my experience might encourage others to volunteer.

I am confident the continued efforts of the ARC and Compliance Committee will help Sun City Lincoln Hills remain a beautiful, well-cared-for, and joyful place to live.

Compliance Committee House Paint Sherry Mosby, Chair Last month, the Compliance Com m it tee spent ma ny hours driving through selected villages looking for houses that need painting. It could be whole house paint or just pop-outs, trim, or fascia board paint.

Painting your home on a regular basis (every five to seven years) is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect your investment.

Exterior paint acts as a protective barrier against sun, wind, rain, and temperature changes. Repainting before damage occurs helps prevent small issues from becoming major expenses. Routine painting can also increase property value and make your home more attractive to neighbors and buyers.

Fascia boards deserve special attention. Located along the roofline, fascia boards support gutters and are especially vulnerable to water exposure.

When properly painted and maintained, they resist rot and deterioration, helping to preserve the

overall structure of your home.

Garage doors are a feature often overlooked.

Because they occupy a large portion of the home’s front exterior, faded, dented, or blotchy paint can quickly decrease curb appeal. We also saw many homes that had factory white garage doors. Garage doors need to be painted a color that is in your home’s color palette.

If the paint on the outside of your garage door looks like it has oily areas, it is probably caused by the oil used on the inside hinges to keep your door running smoothly. That oil can seep to the outside, requiring a re-paint to fix.

Did You Know…. Any garage door window tinting or film shall be kept in good condition; bubbling film must be replaced. Our Design Guidelines do not permit cardboard, Styrofoam, or any material that is reflective. All coverings must be in a neutral tone.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Women in Leadership: The Heart of the CCOC George Herrmann, Chair Leadership in our community is not defined by titles alone. It is defined by service, commitment, and the quiet, steady work of bringing people together. This month, as we reflect on Women in Leadership, we recognize the women whose vision and dedication help sustain the clubs and community organizations that enrich the lives of more than 11,000 residents.

Across our community, women serve as presidents, board members, committee chairs, and volunteers. They organize events, welcome newcomers, manage finances, plan programs, and ensure that every club from arts and culture to fitness, education, and service remains vibrant and welcoming. Their leadership creates opportunities for connection, learning, and friendship, which are essential to the strength of a community like ours.

But leadership here is not only about formal roles. It is also found in the women who step

forward to start new clubs, mentor successors, volunteer to help when help is needed, or simply encourage others to participate. These everyday acts of leadership ensure continuity and growth.

Our clubs and organizations reflect the values of those who lead them: inclusion, generosity, curiosity, and service. Because of this leadership, residents find purpose, build relationships, and continue to contribute their talents and experience.

As chairman of the Clubs and Community Organizations Committee, I see firsthand how strong leadership, especially the leadership of women, sustains the vitality of our community.

Their work strengthens not only individual clubs, but the fabric of our entire neighborhood. The issue of clubs “aging out” is a serious one. Helping find successors to keep clubs and community organizations vibrant is a real need. Stepping up is more important than ever. Can you help?

Communications and Community Relations Committee First Community Forum of 2026 Scheduled!

Michele Hutchinson Mark your calendars for a truly special Community Forum on Monday, March 23 at 2:00 PM in P-Hall (KS). The Open Space Management Ad Hoc Committee (OSMC), in collaboration with the Communications and Community Relations Committee (CCRC), is proud to present: Celebrating the Unique Legacy of SCLH Open Space Preserves.

This program features the then Del Webb principals: Judy Bennett, Director of Public Relations and Gregg McKenzie, Vice President and the designer of our open space preserves. Judy and Gregg bring firsthand knowledge of the original Del Webb vision: why our Open Space Preserves were created, what makes them unique, and how they continue to shape the character of our community today. To quote Judy, “you have something very special here that will never be repeated!” They will excite us with stories about our

10

exceptional Open Space Preserves origination and evolution.

Our Community Forum programs have long been an important way to keep residents informed, engaged, and connected. Attendance has been strong, and the feedback consistently reinforces how valuable these sessions are to our community. But now, we need your help. Due to recent retirements, the Community Forum team, coordinated by CCRC, is seeking new volunteers to join this special task force. This is a wonderful opportunity to bring fresh ideas, new concepts, and creative programming to our membership. Your experience, perspective, and willingness to step forward truly matter. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to contribute, but don’t know where to start,” this is the perfect fit. Contact CCRC@sclhca.com for more information.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Open Space Management Ad Hoc Committee Celebrating Our Unique Legacy Ranny Eckstrom, Chair The Board’s Open Space Manage me nt Ad Ho c Com m it t e e (OSMC) is SCLH’s newest committee, whose purpose is “to guide the creation of a comprehensive Open Space Management Plan that facilitates the implementation of the 2025 Strategic Plan, Initiative 1, Goal 1.2 ‘Maintain & Manage Open Space and Trails.’ … This Plan will ensure the preservation, enhancement, and sustainable use of open space preserves through community engagement, sound environmental practices, and budget-conscious strategies that reflect the values and expectations of residents.”

The OSMC Charter’s scope of work includes community outreach and engagement, assessment of current conditions, development of management goals and objectives, and recommendation of management strategies. Our current Open Space priorities are the Association’s responsibilities as Preserve Manager, habitat restoration and water

flow, fuel reduction and safety, and invasive plant species.

In collaboration with CCRC, we are offering a Community Forum titled “Celebrating the Unique Legacy of SCLH Open Space Preserves” on March 23 at 2:00 in P-Hall (KS). Our speakers are Judy Bennett, the rock star of Del Webb’s SCLH development, and Gregg McKenzie, the visionary designer of SCLH’s open space and current Administrator of the Placer County Conservation Program. Judy and Gregg will highlight the unique asset that is our open space and how it changed from farmland to the environmental oasis it is today.

Given a timeline of four months, the OSMC will report its recommendations to the Board on April 23, along with additional priorities for Board consideration beyond this date.

The OSMC meets the first and third Wednesdays of the month in the Multimedia Room (OC) at 1:00 PM.

Properties Committee Women’s Leadership in Sun City Lincoln Hills Peggy Scott Women’s lives today look radically different than they did in the 1960s. The shift isn’t just about fashion or technology, it’s about power, autonomy, and cultural expectations. The 60s were a turning point, but the transformation since then has been sweeping.

Women serving in leadership roles is one of the most transformative shifts of the modern era, and it’s reshaping everything from corporate culture to community life. More women than ever are serving as Board members, committee chairs, and community advocates, bringing fresh energy and a collaborative spirit that strengthens this place we call home.

One of the defining strengths women bring to Sun City Lincoln Hills leadership is the ability to build relationships. Community governance isn’t just about budgets and bylaws, it’s about people. Women leaders often excel at listening to resident concerns and encouraging those that

might not otherwise be heard.

Women in leadership demonstrate a unique balance of long-term thinking and day-to-day practicality. Whether planning capital improvements, navigating vendor contracts, or modernizing community policies, women leaders often bring strong organizational skills, thoughtful decision making, and a steady hand during conflict or change.

Representation matters. When women lead, they inspire neighbors, daughters, sons, and future board members. Their presence sends a powerful message: community leadership is for everyone.

The success of any community depends on the people willing to step up and serve. Women in leadership continue to show that when compassion, clarity, and commitment come together, neighborhoods thrive. Their contributions not only strengthen the structure of our community, but the spirit of the community itself.

We have really come a very long way!

ASSOCIATION NEWS Finance Committee January Revenue Fred Raach, Chair The Association budget projected that $1,066,000 of dues would be needed to supplement the revenue produced by the operating departments to cover expenses incurred in January. Happily, a combination of more revenue and less expense reduced the actual number to $993,000, a $73,000 reduction. Revenue earned by the Association was $616,000, an increase of $33,000 over the budgeted amount. Expenses were $1,609,000, $40,000 less than budgeted.

WellFit, Food and Beverage, and the Administration Department (which now includes the Communications and IT) generated the additional revenue. Expense savings were concentrated in the Facilities Department from lower than budgeted charges for electricity and natural gas as well as less-than-budgeted expenses for fallen tree removals.

The chart below shows each department’s share of the $993,000 that was paid from dues in January.

Each department’s figure is less than budgeted except for the Food and Beverage Department, which was $6,000 over budget in January.

While the largest portion of expenses is for the maintenance and operation of our buildings and grounds, the actual number is $53,000 less than budgeted due to the reasons mentioned above. The Administration Department’s net expenses were $12,000 less than budgeted. Added revenue from

12

Compass and website advertising coupled with lower legal expenses offset the higher personnel expense in this Department. The other operating departments are positive to budget from increased revenue (WellFit) and expense control (Lifestyle and The Spa at Kilaga Springs).

Last year, t he reser ve f u nd decreased by almost $200,000 because of the nearly $3 million of reserve expenditures, which exceeded the reserve contribution and investment earnings on the fund. In January, the fund grew by $257,000 ($236,000 reserve contribution and $28,000 investment earnings with only a $7,000 expenditure) to $13,660,000. The annual reserve contribution this year increased by $472,000. This increased reserve contribution and the projected investment earnings on the fund will keep the fund from decreasing this year if reserve expenditures do not exceed $3 million.

At the end of January, the Community Enhancement Fund balance was $353,000 with $96,000 allocated to approved and in-process projects (kitchen equipment for Meridians and the door separating Meridians from the Prefunction Area).

The unallocated balance of $257,000 combined with an additional $238,000 to be contributed from dues and several thousand dollars of investment earnings, means there will be close to $500,000 available this year for important capital projects.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Lifestyle News and Happenings Women in Leadership: Leading by Example Kelly Berto, Director of Lifestyle Marc h is Women’s History Month, a time to honor the trailblazers who have shaped our communities and to reflect on the responsibility we carry as leaders today. As the Lifestyle Director at Sun City Lincoln Hills, and someone fortunate to have served in several leadership roles throughout my career, I’m thankful each day for the opportunity to support our residents and work alongside such dedicated teams.

As Michelle Obama so powerfully said, “There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.”

Her words remind us of the strength, resilience, and potential we carry, not only individually, but collectively as a community.

To me, leadership means leading by example in the way we create experiences that bring people together. In Lifestyle, it’s about showing up with energy, creativity, and genuine care for our residents. It’s listening to what inspires them, understanding what brings them joy, and

designing programs that reflect those interests.

I strive to take a collaborative approach to every event and initiative, knowing the most meaningful experiences are created when everyone has a voice.

I am especially proud that so many women serve in leadership roles at Sun City Lincoln Hills, from our Executive Director and Board of Directors to committees, clubs, and staff. Their dedication and leadership strengthen our community each day.

I am grateful for the women who mentored and encouraged me along the way. Their guidance and belief in me helped shape my leadership style and gave me the confidence to grow. The resilience and grace they modeled are qualities I continue to learn from.

This month, our Community Perks program will feature Celebrating Women on Screen discussions, honoring women in film, with select screenings followed by coffee and conversation to connect and reflect together.

ASSOCIATION NEWS WellFit News Women Inspiring Wellness Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director Women play a vital role in shaping our community that values wellness, movement, and connection. Through WellFit, female leaders, instructors, and trainers help create spaces where residents are encouraged to stay active, engaged, and empowered at every stage of life.

Wellness is not just about programs, it’s about fostering balance, purpose, and confidence. Women can bring a holistic approach that blends physical fitness with mental and emotional well-being. By promoting strength training, mindfulness, social connection, and recovery, they help residents build healthier routines that support independence and longevity.

Leaders such as Dr. Stacy Sims, Dr. Michelle Segar, and Jane Fonda continue to shape the future of wellness by redefining strength, motivation, and healthy aging.

Fitness teaches many of the same principles required for effective leadership: consistency,

adaptability, and resilience. Women in these careers model these values daily whether guiding a fitness class, managing operations behind the scenes, or supporting staff and residents through change.

Their ability to listen, encourage, and lead with compassion helps create an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

At Sun City Lincoln Hills, WellFit is more than just fitness programs, it is a community that is committed to aging successfully. Staff help drive this mission by prioritizing safety, inclusivity, and innovation while inspiring others to care for their own well-being.

In March, we are highlighting the centuries-old practices of Tai Chi and Wai Dan Gong and the disciplined women who teach them. These classes can lead to a controlled, meditative type of approach that will help with balance and agility.

By leading with strength and empathy, women in fitness remind us that true wellness is built through balance, connection, and the confidence to keep moving forward together.

COMMUNITY PROFILE

Jeri Chase Ferris with “Walking the Road to Freedom”

Author Jeri Chase Ferris Keeps History Alive Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter How does a girl from Lincoln end up in…Lincoln? That sounds redundant, but Jeri Chase Ferris’ life has been anything but.

Biographies of women by Jeri Chase Ferris

Raised on a farm in Lincoln, Nebraska, Jeri eventually made her way to Lincoln (Hills), only after “marrying one husband, having two boys, and attending three colleges.”

Jeri a nd her husba nd Tom lived in Los Angeles for 40 years

where he taught Russian Studies at Beverly Hills High School and she taught grades 1-4. During her 30-year teaching career, she looked for books that would present good role models for her African American students.

Not finding any, she took a master’s degree course in writing at UCLA. Her thesis was a biography of Harriet Tubman, American abolitionist and activist, which later became her first published book, Go Free or Die, in 1988. Then, she launched her “second act” – a career in writing.

After Tom died, Jeri moved to Lincoln Hills in 2005.

Today, Jeri is the award-winning author of 12 biographies for children and young adults, plus articles for the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers and magazines. She has garnered more than 20 awards. Her biography

Noah Webster & His Words won the 2013 SCBWI Golden Kite Award for best non-fiction of 2012.

More than half of Jeri’s books are about extraordinary women and minorities who have changed history including Sojourner Truth (activist for African American and Women’s Rights), Susan LaFlesche Picotte (Social Reformer and Native American Doctor), Marian Anderson (African American classical singer), Biddy Mason (American nurse, entrepreneur a nd ph i la nt h ropist), Abigai l Adams (wife of John Adams, Second US President), and Mary Ann Shadd Cary (first African American newspaper publisher).

“I write about people who make history, rather than events,” she says. Her goal is to ignite young people’s interest. “We all make mistakes. But we can go on and make a difference in our world,” she adds.

Jeri became fascinated with Russia and its culture after Tom (and Jeri) took his Russian Studies class on a field trip to the USSR in 1970. Now, her latest book is set in Leningrad USSR (present St. Petersburg) during the World War II 900-day Nazi siege.

Jeri has traveled the world as a tourist, researcher, and speaker.

She’s an actor and singer, appearing in productions at Sun City Lincoln Hills. She also creates greeting cards and loves horses.

As a writer of history, Jeri might consider writing her-story.

What an inspiring one it is!

Dr. Loretta Ford

Breakthroughs in Health by Women Tom Quallick, Roving Reporter

Dr. Patricia Bath

In a nod to Paul Harvey, you know the news about Florence Nightingale, now you are going to hear, the rest of the story of breakthroughs three women leaders have made in the medical field.

Going to see a Nurse Practitioner is commonplace today, but this position did not exist prior to 1965 until Dr. Loretta Ford of Colorado overcame cynicism, skeptics and, like so many new ideas, suspicion. As a nurse, Dr.

Ford recognized the absence of health care for children, particularly those in rural areas. It was during the 1960s ,when fundamental changes were afoot in America, that she embarked on establishing the nation’s first program for nurses to educate them to become primary health care providers as Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.

Her first practice was with Dr. Henry Silver at the University of Colorado. (On a personal note, our Roving Reporter, Shirley Schultz, once met Loretta Ford who was influential in her path to becoming a Nurse Practitioner herself.)

In 1969, Dr. Patricia Bath began a fellowship in ophthalmology at Columbia University as the first African American to train in this field. Her breakthrough studies cast light on African Americans being twice as likely to suffer blindness and eight times more likely to develop glaucoma compared to

her other patients. In 1976, Dr. Bath co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness citing “eyesight is a basic human right”. The year 1986 was a breakthrough year as she invented and patented the Laserphaco Probe creating a less painful, more precise treatment for cataracts.

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman in the US to earn a medical degree in 1849. Elizabeth Blackwell, surrounded by male physicians and teachers, chose to breakthrough by being admitted to Geneva College in New York later learning that her admission was intended as a practical joke.

Discrimination was everywhere at Geneva College, as she was often omitted from attending lectures and labs. Dr. Blackwell struggled to see patients as well as not having access to patients in hospitals. In a breakthrough moment, she opened the New York Infirmary for Woman and Children in 1857. Less than ten years later, she opened a medical clinic in New York City with her sister Dr. Emily Blackwell.

Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women represent 78% of the total 2021 healthcare workforce which includes hospitals, health, and social services.

Now you know the rest of their stories.

Lisa and Jessica manning the bridge

Our Lady Skipper Leads Us Full Speed Ahead David Wright, Roving Reporter In the 27-year history of Lincoln Hills, Jessica Sedgwick is the second woman to hold the title of Executive Director. As the Captain of our “cruise ship on land,” she takes the helm navigating through the occasional squall while trying to keep our 11,000-resident vessel on a n even keel. She g uides every aspect of our Community Association—from commanding 273 crewmembers to overseeing two lodges and fitness centers, a day spa, a full-service restaurant, a multiuse sports plaza, and hundreds of acres of landscaping and open space.

Ahoy Lincoln Hills

Originally from Orange County, Jessica graduated from UCLA with a bachelor’s degree in economics.

She started working in property management and “just kind of fell into” managing Homeowners Associations, mostly age-restricted properties in Southern California.

She furthered her expertise in HOA matters by completing certification courses and joining professional organizations.

Aware of Sun City Lincoln Hills’ impressive reputation, she jumped at the chance to come on board as our Executive Director when the position opened last summer. Now, she divides her time between raising her 10-year-old daughter and managing our $20 million annual budget. Manning the bridge connecting the Board of Directors and operations staff, Jessica maps the course for our community.

She sets the wheel in motion by implementing strategic planning,

modernizing our technology, and calling for “all hands on deck.” Her management style is to surround herself with reliable people who can keep their respective departments sailing smoothly. Jessica explains, “Through clarity, accountability, and empowerment, I believe in setting up my staff to succeed.”

The biggest challenge she faces is our aging infrastructure. Steering into the uncharted waters of an ever-growing to-do list, she hired an experienced Project Manager to coordinate major repair and replacement projects. Still, Jessica favors preventive maintenance programs using long-lasting commercial-grade products to withstand the high traffic in our facilities. “It may be more expensive in the short term, but more economical in the long run. For every dollar we put off spending today, we will spend $30 in the future,” she adds.

“Captain on deck”

To promote transparency, Jessica is launching a quarterly “Leadership Desk Live” on March 17. The town hall-like informal discussions will feature rotating guest speakers from various departments giving residents the straight scuttlebutt.

Though HOA management is dominated by women, more men occupy the top position. But for Jessica Sedgwick, a woman’s place is not only in the Homeowners Association; it is running it.

Neighborhood Watch Provides Safety Forum for Residents Judie Fertig Panneton, Neighborhood Watch Live and learn. That’s what happened to a neighbor recently when firefighters had to break down her door in a medical emergency. She wasn’t able to open the door and didn’t have a lockbox. She has one now.

Residents can register their lockboxes and other entry/alarm devices with the Lincoln Police Department, which will use them only when residents are unable to open the door in an emergency. Register online at forms.lincolnca.gov/Public-SafetyForms/Lock-Box-Registration or by phone 916-645-4040.

Learn more and bring your

questions to a Community Safety Event in the Ballroom (OC) on Tuesday, April 14, 1:30–3:30 PM. Representatives from the Lincoln Police and Fire Departments, Placer PROTECT, and Placer 211 will be there.

At a recent Neighborhood Watch presentation, attendees learned that most victims of financial crimes know or are related to the perpetrators. Representatives from Placer Protect, the District Attorney’s Office and the Lincoln Police Department shared powerful tools to financially protect ourselves and avoid scams. Some suggestions

included using credit cards instead of debit cards, not leaving valuable items in clear sight (including wallets, purses, jewelry, cash, etc.), ignoring computer screen pop up alerts, and opening a separate bank account if someone is helping with check writing for expenses. See the presentation at sclhwatch.org.

The experts noted that about 74% of the most common scams target people 65+ and that almost half of those who reported financial crimes in the last three years in Lincoln live in Sun City Lincoln Hills. The fraud hotline is 916-SCAM-7226 or contact elderfraud@placer.ca.gov.

Library News Happy Spring, Everyone!

If you’re feeling like tidying up, now’s the perfect time!

As you know, the Kilaga Springs Library and Orchard Creek reading room are overflowing with your wonderful donations. I wanted to quickly go over our guidelines for accepting donated books.

We welcome fiction and non-fiction, both hardback and paperback, and books on CD. Just a heads-up: the books should be in pretty good shape, with no inside markings or water damage. We are looking for books published in 2020 and newer, except for some popular authors and older books that we keep.

We’re not able to accept cookbooks, gardening books, or DVDs. If you’re planning to donate and there’s no library volunteer around, please drop off your donation on the gray cart.

If you have a large number of books to donate (more than a shopping bag) consider donating directly to Twelve Bridges Library. You can find their hours on their website. www.libraryatlincoln.org/about-us/donations/.

Reg u l a r cycling improves cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It is a low-impact exercise reducing stress on joints, making it ideal for seniors with arthritis or mobility concerns. Cycling also enhances muscle strength, balance, and coordination, helping to prevent falls and maintain independence.

Additionally, it supports weight management and improves lung function. Beyond physical benefits, cycling boosts mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while promoting better sleep.

CLUB NEWS Hikers and Walkers As winter changes to spring, it’s a good time to be flexible with the timing of walks and hikes. While our club has scheduled walks and hikes, weather can impact our ability to walk or hike at a particular time or on a specific day. That’s when it’s common to see club members head out to walk on our community trails or hike in the region on their own, frequently using the experience gained from prior activities to get out to enjoy a walk or hike when the weather cooperates. Get to know our community and regional trails by joining our Walk for Wellness, Wednesday Walker, or Hiking leaders on their outings. Details are available on our club website.

We started out playing on the old grass area adjacent to the Sports Pavilion (now tennis courts). There had always been croquet sets available to residents, but no one knew about it until Usha Mac Garvey started ask i ng quest ion s about why there was no croquet in SCLH. Ro s ev i l le h ad ju st i n st a l le d croquet courts and we were quite envious. The addition of pickleball moved croquet over behind the Bocce Courts. There is now a croquet locker at the Lawn Sports area. The equipment is available to residents by getting the key from the OC WellFit Desk. We are currently playing croquet on Tuesday mornings

You have a semicircular canal in the inner part of each ear. In some people, sand-like particles or crystals called canaliths in the inner ear become loose and move around. This causes dizziness, which is also called vertigo. What is the Epley Maneuver?

This is a series of steps you can do at home to help reposition the canaliths and help with dizziness.

WELLFIT CLASSES Wellness Life Coaching Why A Wellness Coach?

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

What Can I Expect?

Discerning “the why” is paramount to coaching - because the subsequent checkpoints and milestones are built upon the why of what the client wishes to work toward - and developing a reasonable plan to achieve it. Each 60-minute session includes a personally tailored, written 30-day goal summary that outlines measurable, time-bound behaviors and tasks to be completed by the client.

This helps each client maintain progress, overcome challenges, and achieve their desired outcomes.

What Does It Cost?

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