Bird
We’ve had some good outings in the local area. On February 7, the group took a walk in the area of Coyote Pond, just on the other side of Twelve Bridges. In all we counted 47 species, including hawks and falcons, water birds, and songbirds - a nice variety.
Our next one is also not far away - Linda Creek in Roseville. In early June we are planning an overnighter in the Sierras for a little change of scenery. We meet at P-Hall (KS) at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month except August. The speaker in April is scheduled to be Ted Beedy of Birds of the Sierra Nevada. Everyone is welcome!

Bocce Ball
We’re happy to welcome spring on the bocce courts. It isn’t too hot or cold, and we still get to sleep in. Our club plays
bocce on Thursday mornings, and the equipment is provided. All skill levels are welcome, and parking is available at the courts. We officially begin at 10:00 AM, but most people arrive a little earlier. Teams of four are formed on-the-fly each week so just show up! The focus is on recreation--not competition. We spend about 90 minutes on the courts, and it’s fine if you need to leave sooner. New, inexperienced, and handicapped residents are always welcome. It’s a fun way to meet people. Don’t know how to play? We’ll guide you. Contact: Russ Petruzzelli 408-439-1848, lhbocce@gmail.com Website: https://sclhresidents.com/ group/pages/bocce-ball-group Book

Cyclists
The winter rains have, thankfully, descended upon us but have hesitated off-and-on enough to allow us to squeeze in some group riding. Even though they start off chilly, we are soon rewarded with viewing the hillsides turning from gold to green as the rest of nature sleeps. Our activities this year will include several informal “minglers” at favorite watering holes and diners, our summer potluck, and a formal dinner in the Ballroom (OC) sometime in the fall. We will also be assisting the Rotary Club with route and lunch setup for their annual Tour de Lincoln on October 18. If you enjoy group

Like the weather, our club has roared into the first quarter of 2025. Love was in the air at the Gourmet PreValentine’s Day dinner hosted by our own Meridian’s Executive Chef David. He featured a warm duck confit salad, melt in your mouth beef in brazing juices, and finished with a pièce de résistance, French pastry with sweet cream topped with chocolate ganache. It was a gastronomic delight. Then to another FAC favorite, Chef Marc’s Stonehouse & Farm. In his own unique French
style, he hosted several cooking classes and dinners. The experience was a delicious culinary event. Catch us next month for more news or contact Wendy. Contact: Wendy Nugent 831-247-0804, debdeb53@yahoo.com Website: www.facebook.com/ groups/820847998958951

Afterward, we crowded into the café for a post-meeting pizza party. We spent time catching up with friends and writing down suggestions for future activities. It was a perfect mix of business and pleasure. Next month, we’ll have a report on our snow train trip to Reno. Lavender Friends is a club for LGBTQ residents and their allies. Check out our website.

It’s easy to learn, and we are 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 resident and are interested in an informal and fun way to start the week, please drop into the Card Room (OC) 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. See you soon!

Breaking the traditional boundaries of what art “should” be is what mixed media is all about. It combines different materials and techniques, such as painting, drawing, paper, and even found objects. Joining our club allows you to explore and experiment with these various mediums without the pressure of perfection. You will have the freedom to let your imagination run wild, leading to exciting, one-of-a-kind creations. The club meets on the third Wednesday of the month in the Fine Arts Room (OC) at 1:00 PM. For more information, contact our President, Chris.

Movie Lovers
Our members had an extended conversation about the three movies we watched this last month. The Children’s Act stimulated a long discussion about giving children medical care against parents and religious beliefs. Laapatas Ladies showed us about the Indian culture and “arranged weddings.” The Brutalist was about the plight of Professionals that immigrate to the United States. We selected Oh Canada ,
streaming on Netflix, that is about the people that fled to Canada to avoid the United States Draft and being sent to Viet Nam. We also selected Promised, about two Italians that were promised to each other in marriage in infancy by their fathers. These two stimulated a lively discussion at our March 13 meeting in the Multipurpose Room (OC). See Ya!

Table Tennis
Dr. Andrew Lee, a neuro-ophthalmologist at Houston Methodist Hospital, says poor eye-hand coordination can lead to impairment in activities of daily living, including eating, drinking, cooking, and driving.
Linda Morley was not an enthusiastic swimmer as a child. She didn’t like to put her face in the water! But when she moved to Rocklin in 2023, she took a swim stroke improvement class. This class helped her develop confidence in the water, and she was on her way! She moved to Lincoln Hills in 2014 and found swimming after work a “great way to decompress and relax.” Once she retired, she started swimming three to four times a week and said, “I still find lap swimming to be an enjoyable way to approach physical and mental health. I encourage new swimmers to join the Swimmers
He did not go so far as to endorse playing table tennis as a stellar way to maintain that coordination, but he could have.

We get visitors almost every time we have a meeting. I know it’s not because we are cooking something, and the smell is enticing.

So, what is the attraction of the Woodcarvers Club? The club features men and women carvers that range from newbies to expert skill levels. Help and guidance is available from the members.

Wellness Life Coaching
Why A Wellness Coach?
A Lincoln Hills Wellness Life Coach is a professional who assists people in making progress toward attaining greater fulfillment in relationships, careers, day-to-day life, or extracurricular activities. Schedule with one of our Coaches to better navigate your path, clarify your goals, identify obstacles holding you back, and learn new strategies to move forward. Our coaches will provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.
What Can I Expect?
Discerning “the why” is paramount to the coaching - because the subsequent checkpoints and milestones are built upon the why of what the client wishes to work toward - and developing a reasonable plan to achieve it. Each 60-minute session includes a personally tailored, written, 30-day goal summary to include measurable, time-bound behaviors and tasks to be completed by the client. This helps each client maintain progress, overcome challenges, and achieve their desired outcomes.
What Does It Cost?
Each one-on-one session runs sixty minutes for $84.00. Your Wellness Life Coach will recommend the frequency of sessions as you go.
Invest in Yourself.
We have four dynamic Wellness Coaches ready to book appointments at Orchard Creek WellFit Fitness Center. Their bios can be found at the fitness centers or on the Resident Website under the WellFit drop-down menu. Contact Danielle Merrill for more information about this exciting new program.
Policy: There are no refunds, and all training expires one year after purchase. Please observe our 24-hour cancellation policy and contact the Coach directly to reschedule, or you may be charged in full for the session.
