ASSOCIATION NEWS Board of Directors’ Report Laura Thiele, President Sun City Lincoln Hills is known for its beautiful environment, strong amenities, and vibrant lifestyle, but the true strength of our community comes from something far more meaningful: the residents who volunteer their time, skills, and energy to support one another. Volunteerism is the quiet engine that keeps our community thriving. Every day, volunteers make a difference in ways both visible and unseen. Neighborhood Watch volunteers help keep our neighbors connected. Neighbors InDeed volunteers provide support to residents who need a helping hand. Others assist with events, organize our libraries, help with audio visual needs and much more. Their contributions touch nearly every part of community life. Volunteerism also plays a vital role in our governance structure. As a self managed association, we rely on residents who step forward to serve on committees and share their perspectives with the Board. Committee members lend their expertise to ensure thoughtful governance. The Finance Committee provides visibility and analysis of our financials. The

Properties Committee helps ensure our common areas are well maintained. Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and Compliance Committee support the look and feel of our neighborhoods. We have fair and transparent elections because of the Elections Committee. Clubs and Community Organizations Committee (CCOC) supports our clubs, while Communications and Community Relations Committee (CCRC) strengthens our communication. This partnership between volunteers and staff ensures that decisions are informed, balanced, and grounded in the needs of the community. These contributions are not small. They shape the experience of living here. They strengthen our sense of belonging. If you have ever considered volunteering, now is a wonderful time to get involved. Your experience, your voice, and your willingness to help can make a meaningful impact. Sun City Lincoln Hills is more than a neighborhood; it is a community built by the people who live here. Thank you to all who volunteer now or have volunteered in the past.

A Note from the Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director Oc tober br i ngs a welcome change of pace and an opportunity to recognize work happening across Sun City Lincoln Hills. Our Meridians team recently participated in Taste of Lincoln, sharing their food and hospitality with the broader community. The event was a success and a chance to introduce more people to Meridians. Thank you to everyone who prepared for the event and represented our community so well. We are finalizing the Association’s 2027 budget. Staff have been reviewing operating needs, upcoming projects, and the resources required to care for our facilities. We are working closely with the Finance Committee and Board throughout this process. The Board is scheduled to consider approval of the budget at its October 22 meeting. On the Facilities front, the Kilaga Springs Indoor Pool reopened September 15 following completion of

its plaster and deck work. Exterior painting at Kilaga Springs Lodge is complete, and painting at Orchard Creek Lodge has begun and will proceed in stages this fall. We appreciate your patience as crews work around the building. A comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment is also getting underway. It will provide a closer look at our buildings, equipment, sports facilities, and other shared spaces, helping us plan maintenance and future capital work with more complete information. This is an important step toward informed decisions about the places we use and enjoy. As the season changes, I hope you will take advantage of the activities, dining options, and opportunities to connect with neighbors throughout the community. Thank you to our residents, volunteers, and employees for the care you bring to Sun City Lincoln Hills every day. I look forward to sharing more as the budget and projects progress. 5

ASSOCIATION NEWS Architectural Review Committee Is It Time to “Refresh” Your Yard? Chris Strittmatter, ARC Member With the high temperatures we’ve been experiencing, it might be time to consider a “yard refresh.” The combination of this year’s July and August heat has been stressful on our plants, so a yard refresh can be a great way to give your outdoor space new life while incorporating drought-tolerant plants. We live in a Zone 9 climate, so the key is choosing plants that can handle our intense summer heat. When choosing plants, consider your home’s sun exposure to help maintain the natural beauty our community strives to provide. Plant choices can be overwhelming, which is why the plant list in the Design Guidelines is such a helpful resource when selecting the right plants for your yard. If you have questions, you can always reach out to the Architectural Review Committee. We’re here to assist with your projects, both “big and small,” so don’t hesitate to ask! Some things to consider when planting…

Think in layers. Arrange plants of different heights to add interest and dimension to your yard. Make room for color. Choose plants that will continue to bloom for several months, adding beautiful color for you to enjoy throughout the season. Prepare the soil. Make sure your yard has proper drainage, so you aren’t wasting water or overwatering when it isn’t needed. Installing a drip irrigation system and putting it on a timer can also be very beneficial for maintaining healthy plant life. Create a yard that is beautiful, practical, and low maintenance by combining flowering plants, shrubs, ground cover, and attractive foliage. And remember, the plant list in the Design Guidelines is there to help you along the way. Have a landscaping question or project you’re thinking about? The Architectural Review Committee is here to help! Happy Replanting!

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Celebrating Older Persons Day: Rewriting the Aging Playbook George Herrmann, Chair Every October 1, the United Nations celebrates the International Day of Older Persons. It is a day to recognize the immense value seniors bring to society, and a perfect opportunity to reflect on our own personal journeys. Here at Sun City Lincoln Hills, our 11,000 residents, with an average age of 73, aren’t just growing older; we are actively slowing the aging process. Medical science confirms the two most powerful ways to slow cellular aging are regular physical exercise and robust social connection. Our community is built for exactly this. Whether you are swimming or exercising in the pools, joining group exercise classes, using exercise equipment or getting your daily steps across our significant open space and walking trails, you are actively combating age related decline. Movement is only half the equation though. Social isolation is a major health risk as we age. The

Club and Community Organizations Committee (CCOC) has the perfect antidote. We boast 75 diverse clubs to help you manage aging. From energetic groups like tennis and dance, to the strategic mental workouts of card playing, to all kinds of creative arts, there is a community for everyone. Furthermore, our entire infrastructure runs on purposeful community engagement. We are guided by an elected, all-volunteer Board of Directors, supported by seven all volunteer standing committees like the CCOC. Volunteering provides a profound sense of purpose, which researchers consistently link to longer, healthier lives. As we recognize the International Day of Older Persons this October, take a moment to look at the display of clubs in Orchard Creek and Kilaga Springs. Find one or two that fit you. By staying physically active and socially engaged, Sun City Lincoln Hills is a blueprint for aging exceptionally well. 7

ASSOCIATION NEWS Communications and Community Relations Committee Communication within Our Community Michele Hutchinson, CCRC Member Communication has changed dramat ically over t he years— from handwritten notes to emails, texts, and even emojis. Yet misunderstandings still happen. Clear communication is significant because it helps every resident feel informed, confident, and connected to this place we all call home. Communication is never just about sending information; it also involves listening, asking questions, and seeking clarity. We often hear comments like “Why didn’t they tell us?” or “I didn’t know.” Sometimes information is missing, sometimes it’s interpreted differently, and sometimes questions that should be directed to the Association end up circulating elsewhere. Social media can be a helpful space for sharing experiences, but it isn’t always the best source for accurate or complete information about our community. That’s where the challenge begins. The Communications and Community Relations Committee (CCRC) recommends, as an essential component of the communication process, that our

Board, Executive Director, and Staff strive to explain the “Whys” and “Hows” behind decisions, processes, and governance. This is a challenge because of the various state laws that can be complex or even conflicting in the HOA governance world. Additionally, the Board recently approved Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to clarify how the committee helps strengthen communication. Tools available to keep members informed: eNews announcements, The Compass magazine, Community Forums, New Resident Orientation, Board and Committee meetings (in person, on Zoom, and recorded), Office Hours with Board members, and Town Halls. These resources are designed to help every member stay connected and well informed. If you haven’t explored these tools recently, consider giving them a try. You may find answers to questions you’ve wondered about, and a deeper understanding of how our community works. We look forward to strengthening communication together.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Lifestyle News and Happenings The Power of an Invitation Kelly Berto, Director of Lifestyle Sometimes the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference. “Want to come with me?” It’s a simple question but think about what can happen because someone asked it. A neighbor attends an event for the first time. Someone tries a class they might not have tried alone. A new resident meets a friend. Or someone who has lived here for years discovers something new in the community. There are so many ways to connect here, but sometimes taking that first step is easier when someone invites you along. This fall, the Lifestyle Department is creating plenty of opportunities to do just that. Invite a friend to hit the dance floor with you at our Vybe Society Concert, get creative together at one of our fall craft classes, enjoy some spooky fun at our

Halloween Party, or grab a friend and get a head start on your holiday shopping at our Holiday Market on November 1. But an invitation doesn’t have to be to an event. Ask a neighbor to join you for coffee or a walk. Introduce yourself to the person sitting next to you at a show. Reach out to someone you haven’t seen in a while. Every activity is another opportunity to meet someone new, spend time with friends, and enjoy being part of this community. So, I have a little challenge for you this fall: invite someone along. You never know when one simple invitation might lead to a new friendship, a great memory, or simply make someone’s day a little brighter. Sometimes, “Want to come with me?” is all it takes.

ASSOCIATION NEWS WellFit News The Foundation for Staying in the Game Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director Staying active as we age is one of the best ways to support our health, independence, and quality of life. For adults who enjoy pickleball, tennis, softball, and other recreational sports, one area of fitness deserves special attention: balance. Balance is much more than being able to stand on one foot. It is your body’s ability to stay controlled while moving, changing direction, reaching, stopping, and reacting. Think about a typical pickleball or tennis game, you may move quickly toward the net, reach for a wide shot, step backward, rotate, and recover your position, all within seconds. In softball, balance is important when running the bases, fielding a ball, throwing, or swinging a bat. As we age, changes in muscle strength, reaction time, joint mobility, and coordination can affect balance. The good news is that balance can be trained. Strengthening the legs, hips, and core, along with

practicing coordination and controlled movement, can help improve stability and confidence both during sports and everyday activities. Know Where You Stand WellFit is excited to partner with neXTPerformance to bring pro-grade testing, like what they use with elite athletes, right here to Sun City Lincoln Hills at the Sports Pavilion. For three days, residents will have the opportunity to participate in a 20-minute assessment designed to evaluate how you move, balance, think, and play. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about your current abilities and areas you may want to improve. Whether you want to stay competitive on the court or simply keep moving confidently, balance is an important part of healthy aging and successful living. See the ad below to register for the event.

Mandarins are handpicked from trees

Orange You Glad Mandarin Harvest is Near? Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

Fruit is boxed up for the marketplace

‘Tis the season for all things orange— like pumpkins. But, if it’s time for pumpkin pageantry, then mandarin mania can’t be far behind, with early harvesting expected next month. We are lucky to live in an area that grows and appreciates the mandarin orange among other bumper crops. In fact, Placer County’s agricultural boom during the 1850s has often been called its ”second gold rush.” The diverse landscape of valleys and foothills, coupled with an ideal climate of

warm days and cool nights that intensifies the fruit’s sugar level, have turned our backyard into a prime parcel for growing world renowned mandarins, those mini oranges we love to devour. The Satsuma mandarin, known for its sweetness and easy peeling, is the most prominent type of the citrus crop in Placer County. These small spheres are renowned in California and beyond. Additionally, other types like Clementine and Tango, found at grocery stores, enjoy a season launching in November and lasting until about April. Hail mandarin It’s never too early to start planning for mandarin appreciation months. Get ready for weekends in November and December and follow the nearby Mandarin Trail in search of treasures like mandarin oils, tea, cookies, cakes, and of course, hand-picked, tree-ripened mandarins.

All’s fair Add the mandarin to a long list of California-grown fruits and nuts that are celebrated annually at festivals across the state, including the strawberry, apricot, cherry, almond, and wal nut. The Mandarin Festival is scheduled this year for November in Roseville, and promises to attract thousands. To your health At last! We’ve discovered something that not only tastes good, but also is good for us! Mandarins offer a host of health benefits, including being rich in Vitamin C, acting as a powerful antioxidant that helps in immune defense, as well as iron absorption and collagen production for healthy skin. The “little fruit that could” also contains flavonoids, a compound that helps protect against some diseases, along with potassium for healthy blood pressure and dietary fiber for digestion. Good things come in small packages! Cook up something good It’s true that the diminutive orange makes a convenient and healthy snack. But don’t discount it as an appealing ingredient in an easy salad, nourishing meal, savory stir-fry, or decadent dessert. Get ready for mandarins to roll next month. Prepare to squeeze the day.

COMMUNITY PROFILE Bev’s interest ballooned and she started buying more inflatables. She now estimates she has 20 of them, covering most holidays. Her latest acquisition is a really big bottle of bubbly for New Year’s. Bev purchases most of the 10 to16-foot behemoths online and stores them deflated in clearly marked bins in her garage. For each holiday, she gets out the corresponding blowup, inflates it with an electric motor, and ties it down with bungee cords. Having the setup routine down to a science, she completes the entire process in five minutes. Bev and ghoul friends ready for the Witches Dance

Harvesting an Inflated Holiday Spirit David Wright, Roving Reporter

A quick glance across the golf course from Del Webb Boulevard and Spring Valley Parkway, and your attention zeros in on Beverly Schroeder’s backyard. For nearly every seasonal celebration, Bev harvests holiday spirit by putting on airs—literally. She sets up giant inflatables rising to the occasion.

Christmas Clydesdales

Bev discovered the wide world of inflatables when she was living in Carmichael and working in

the UC Davis Cancer Clinical Research Program. During a particularly depressing time when she was dealing with the loss of so many patients, she saw a huge blow-up turkey in the store and it made her “giggle.” She bought it and put it outside her home to cheer others up. When she moved to Sun City Lincoln Hills 11 years ago, she brought it with her. Bev wanted to put the Thanksgiving icon in the front yard of her new home. But the way her house is situated, few people could actually see it. Having one of the longest driveways in our community, the front of her house is hidden from view. So, she decided to place the gregarious gobbler in her backyard. She backs up to the golf course and her fence line is visible from one of the busiest intersections in Sun City Lincoln Hills.

Easter Bunny is a big hit

Spreading seasonal joy to the golfers on the fairway and passersby along Del Webb Boulevard, Bev receives lots of compliments on her collection. Strangers have appeared at her door with wine, cookies and thank-you notes. “People can’t help but smile when they see the blowups,” she beams. When it is her time to move on, she will be heiring her house to her only daughter and son-inlaw. She hopes that the holiday inflatables will grow on them, too. Meanwhile, look towards her backyard on Halloween. You may just catch Beverly Schroeder doing the Witches Dance with her boo-loon buddies. 15

Cribbagers Harvest

Friendship: Cultivate, Nurture, Harvest Tom Quallick, Roving Reporter

Court Players Harvest

Friendship is like farming. Think of each other as a plant or a crop that needs water, weeding, sunlight and shade. A cup of tea could be water, laughter the mulch, putting an event on a calendar would be the weeding.

“Gathering the bounty” can be a shared meal, a party, or a casual meetup at the Kilaga Cafe. A lot of friendship harvesting happens over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Long before the harvest, there i s c u lt ivat ion—meet i ng new people, sharing contact information and acting on it to stay connected. Without healthy soil, the plant will not blossom, nor will it handle the rigors that life throws at it. Likewise, our “social soil” needs to be regularly nurtured, a birthday greeting, meeting up for no particular reason, or sharing a walk. Staying in touch when we may begi n to drift away is part of the cultivation of friendship. Have you ever said,

“I wonder what happened to so and so? Have you seen or heard from Tim Quagmire?” Take action and find out for yourself. Sadly, often when you are not seen, you also are not heard. It is also important to surround ourselves with quality friends. Sometimes, our clique just stops clicking and it is time to rotate those crops. As in farming, when the crop yield comes up short, it has to be plowed over to be renewed. People we meet may become toxic like searing heat to a plant. So, we choose to walk away, stop irrigating that crop, and “separate the wheat from the chaff.” Sun City Lincoln Hills is a perfect place to cultivate, nurture and harvest friendships. Become a volunteer, learn a new craft, or revitalize an old one. Reinvent yourself and discover a new and improved you. The best part of life is living it to the fullest as best we can. We reap what we sow and if we till our soil right, we could end up with a bumper crop of new friends and nourished seasoned ones. Cultivate, nurture and harvest.

Neighborhood Watch Offers Safety Events, Tips for Safety and Annual Meeting Judie Panneton, Neighborhood Watch Neig hborhood Watc h w i l l unveil its safety campaign for 2027 at the Annual Meeting on November 14. Open to residents, the breakfast potluck is scheduled first, in the KS Multipurpose Room, 9:30 AM–11:30 AM. Following, the meeting needs a 20% quor u m of vot i ng me m b er s (current NW Board Directors and Village Coordinators to elect the 2027 Board and to act on agenda items). All attendees are invited; comments and questions are welcomed. At a recent Neighborhood Watch’s National Night Out event, residents gathered with neighbors

and police, firefighters and representatives from Placer County agencies. In September, Neighborhood Watch hosted a Safety Forum featuring the Lincoln Police Department with the focus on trespassing, traffic, and scams. Lincoln Police have increased their presence in the community to make sure people stop at crosswalks and stop signs. Tickets are also being issued to golf cart violators of state laws including driving on public roadways with split windshields in the folded-down position, having backward-facing seats, allowing non-licensed drivers to take the

wheel, and not having everyone wear seat belts. In case of an accident, is there emergency contact information in your wallet, phone or in your vehicle’s glove compartment? There is a recent incident involved a couple that was taken to the hospital after a car accident, and it was not until several days later that their neighbors were the ones to notice that they were missing. Neighborhood Watch Board Member and Village Coordinator, Cheri Jaggers then contacted the couple’s son with emergency contact information they had provided when village information was collected.

A Thriving Community Dave Short In every thriving community, the true measure of strength lies in how we care for our neighbors. For senior citizens wishing to maintain independence at home, everyday tasks can present overwhelming challenges. This is where Neighbors InDeed, a dedicated, volunteer-run organization, steps in to bridge the gap— proving that practical, small acts of kindness create a lasting local impact. By tackling minor household chores, Neighbors InDeed ensures that older adults remain safe and comfortable. Simple tasks like changing batteries in smoke detectors, replacing furnace filters, or lubricating noisy garage doors

might seem trivial to some, but for a senior, they prevent dangerous ladder falls and costly maintenance emergencies. These volunteers provide more than just free labor; they deliver peace of mind. Beyond home maintenance, Neighbors InDeed provides a vital mobility equipment loan program. Medical emergencies or surgery often bring sudden needs. By loaning out crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs free of charge, the group eases financial burdens and restores independence to those recovering from surgery or injury. Furthermore, navigating major home repairs can leave seniors vulnerable to predatory scams.

To combat this, the group maintains a vetted list of reliable local vendors. This resource connects residents with trusted professionals, ensuring they are treated fairly, safely, and respectfully. Ne i g h b o r s I n D e e d r e l i e s entirely on community connection to keep this vital safety net running. Whether you want to give back or need a helping hand, getting involved is simple. If you can see yourself helping our community, please join our team. Call 916-223-2763. Leave a message, and we will call you back Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

CLUB NEWS Amateur Radio We p a r t i c i p at e d i n several contests recently. The NA QSO Party using phone (SSB) yielded close to two dozen contacts.
