Board of Directors’ Report
Marie Barnes, President
When I found out the theme this month was Flying into Summer, I immediately thought – Carpe Diem (seize the day). As we fly faster and faster through our lives, we forget to slow down enough to appreciate all the positives we have in our lives. You truly need to seize the day; every day is a gift. Since moving to Lincoln Hills, I have been blessed to meet great neighbors and friends, enjoy nature as I walk the trails, and work with wonderful staff. The world flies at a fast pace, and it can become overwhelming, but living here gives us time to dance, play tennis, see a show, or meet friends at Meridians. Sometimes, it is just interesting to sit somewhere, and people watch. When you do, you see a majority of people laughing and having a good time. It reminds you that it’s your choice of how to face each morning.
Being on the Board of Directors, you take time each morning to think about tasks you want to accomplish and how to accomplish them successfully. At times, the task seems so easy; however, when you factor in the “domino effect,” it can become daunting. Also, when you think you have a fabulous idea, the other six members of the board may not agree with you.
Although each board member wants what will benefit the entire community, there are differing opinions on what that is and how to move forward. It is truly a team effort to painstakingly discuss pros and cons and come to a general consensus.
Being your Board of Directors President this year has been a pleasure, and I thank you for your positive words and suggestions. I will take many fond memories with me as I gear up for the next two years. But I’ll also remember - Carpe Diem!
Gary Kawula has been calling Lincoln Hills home since 2021. He loves enjoying the walking trails. If he could master any skill, it would be to play the piano.
Marie Barnes has been living in Lincoln Hills for 13 amazing years. When she is not enjoying her beautiful home or volunteering with the Association, you can find her soaking up the scenery on our walking trails.
Tom Brutting has been soaking up the good life here for the past three years, and when the sun’s out, you’ll find him in his happy place — the outdoor pool. And if he could master any skill on the spot? Sculpting marble.
Don Bowden has called Lincoln Hils home for the last nine years. Did you know Don took up motorcycle riding at age 60? Not only that, he’s made four cross-country trips and even rode to the
Arctic Circle above Fairbanks, Alaska.
Renee Plummer just celebrated her 12 years in Lincoln Hills. She’s a two-time bus roadeo champ — and yes, that’s spelled right. She was the first employee in her school district to win it and the first woman to take the title.
David Mateer has been a proud member of Lincoln Hils for over 14 years. Here’s the high-flying twist — David holds a private pilot license with an instrument rating. And if he could master any skill in the blink of an eye? He’d go straight for immediate recall and an improved memory.
Russ Petruzzelli has been calling Lincoln Hills his home for the past four fabulous years. Whether it’s pickleball, bocce, or making a splash in the pools, you will find Russ enjoying all the Lincoln Hills has to offer. He’s also a licensed pilot.

What’s the Buzz?
Greg Kevin, Chair
“If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” ~ Dalai Lama
As the warm months approach and we begin to “fly” into the summer, our attention is occasionally distracted by a faint, distant buzzing. Take solace in the fact that it’s not your hearing aids going bad, but rather it’s our dear bloodthirsty friend, the mosquito. We live in a region where these pesky little critters are plentiful and hungry. We are surrounded by natural open space with springs, ponds, and sloughs. Out to the west, we are bounded by water-filled rice fields. All this water creates prime breeding grounds for this bothersome blight.
We are fortunate here in Placer County to have a very active vector control that works to eradicate pests like mosquitoes. The rice fields are regularly sprayed using aircraft, while insecticides and other
Compliance Committee Grand Old Flag
Sherry Mosby, Chair
This month’s theme, “Flying into Summer,” reminded me of the many times we will fly our American flag in the next few months. We fly the flag to show patriotism, honor, and respect for the United States. It can represent unity, remembrance of those who served our country, and appreciation of American freedoms. On Memorial Day, the flag is flown to remember and honor United States military personnel who died in service. On the Fourth of July, the flag represents the celebration of American independence in 1776, and don’t forget that June 14 is Flag Day. It commemorates the adoption of the United States flag, which was approved by the Continental Congress on that day in 1777.
There are many protocols for flying the flag respectfully. In Lincoln Hills, we follow those
methods are used to treat ponds and standing water. This tax funded work is done with the intent of ridding us of these buzzy little bloodsuckers. Unfortunately, vector control cannot do this alone.
Living here in Lincoln Hills, there are things we can do to help reduce the number of these little flying vampires. First, you can use plants that naturally discourage mosquitoes. Certain plants, such as citronella, lavender, and marigolds, are known for their mosquito-repelling properties. Incorporating these plants into your gardens can create an environment that discourages mosquitoes. Additionally, it’s important to limit standing water around your home. Empty buckets treat stagnant ponds and fountains to ensure mosquitoes do not have a place to grow and breed.
We can look forward to a season filled with outdoor enjoyment and fewer insect-related interruptions by taking a few simple steps.
procedures. They are listed in our Design Guidelines, section 2.4. Residents are allowed to display one U.S. Flag and/or one non-commercial flag from a dual flag mount on the face of their home. It should be in good condition, limited in size to 4x6 feet, and must be made of cloth. Owners wanting to install a freestanding flagpole must apply to the Architectural Review Committee for approval. When flying two flags, the U.S. flag must be at the top. Flags cannot be flown upside down. Flags should not be flown during inclement weather unless they are made of all-weather material. U.S. flags can only be flown at half-staff for Federal, State, or Association recognized memorials.
Interested in compliance? Please come to the Compliance Committee meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 9:00 AM in the Multimedia Room.
Properties Committee
Flying into Summer
Roger Lehutsky, Committee Member
As the days gradually stretch longer and the temperature starts to rise, there is no denying that summer is on its way. As we spring into summer, it’s an ideal moment to reflect on the joys this season brings and the opportunities it offers for relaxation, fun, and adventure.
Living here offers us many possibilities to learn new things and make new friends through the many clubs welcoming us to join and share their experiences. For over 25 years, we have had beautiful grounds and wonderful facilities to enjoy for both indoor and outdoor recreation. We are truly fortunate to live in a community that has been well planned and provides numerous interesting hobbies, entertainment, and sports for all.
The Properties Committee is responsible for recognizing needed repairs, renovations, or general upkeep to ensure our property remains safe, functional, and appealing. Since it’s been more than 25
years, it’s easy to understand that several facilities need attention. We survey the landscape, lighting, signage, hardscapes, recreational facilities, the lodges, and many other features of our community that require maintenance or replacements. Our observations are reported to the Board of Directors, the Executive Director, and the Facilities Department, where our recommendations are taken into consideration.
But time takes a toll, and to help keep our community beautiful, it will constantly need the attention of our volunteer committee members to ensure we can be proud of our community. So, while the weather is great, venture out and enjoy the many wonderful aspects of our Lincoln Hills. Whether it’s learning a new skill, taking on a creative project, or simply soaking up the sunshine, there are endless ways to embrace the spirit of summer. See you on campus!
Clubs and Community Organizations Committee
Plastic
George Herrmann, Chair
Who are Alexander Parkes and John Wesley Hyatt? They were two pioneers in the early development of plastic. Between 1856 and 1870, they developed celluloid. It was the first usable plastic. However, the plastic era really began in 1907 when Leo Hendrick Baeckeland, a Belgian chemist, invented Bakelite. Beating his English rival, James Swindurne, to the patent office by one day, he is today considered the father of plastic. His Bakelite could be formed, molded, and mass produced. It led to the plastic revolution of the 20th century. Bakelite found its way into many iconic products of that century, such as the GPO telephone and Ekco radio.
As we go through life today, it’s hard to imagine our lives without plastic. It has certainly made our lives more convenient and, in many cases, safer.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s estimated that 90% of all the plastic ever created is still with us. It is not biodegradable. It’s floating in the ocean in a mass bigger than Texas. They are finding microplastic inside human bodies, including our brains. As summer rushes to meet us, perhaps it’s time to consider a more sustainable lifestyle. Many clubs will be having outings and getting together as the weather warms. Substituting glass and paper for plastic helps keep that plastic out of landfills. If it cannot be washed and reused, then something that breaks down is better than something that lasts for generations. As we think about this summer, maybe our approach could be about all the summers to come for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A sustainable lifestyle will make the world better for them.
Finance Committee
Operational Performance
Fred Raach, Chair
At the end of March, the Association reported net revenue for the three months of $30,000 more than expected in the Budget, i.e., the basis for our dues.
Gross revenue was $5.278 million, including $3.581 million of dues and $1.691 million of income from operations. The income from operations was $15,000 more than budgeted. Total expenditures were $5.265 million, which included $590,000 added to the reserve fund, $63,000 added to the Community Enhancement Fund, and operating expenses of $4.612 million, which were $15,000 less than budgeted.
Results at the department level shown below illustrate that the Administration and Food and Beverage Departments spent more than budgeted, but were more than offset by better than projected financial results for the other departments.
Legal expenses and the cost of the Bylawrevision ballot are responsible for the overage in the Administration Department. Higher costs of food and beverage purchases and over-budget personnel expenses are the principal reasons for Food and Beverage’s results.
The cost of the Communications and IT Department is lower than budgeted as a result of the transfer of its manager’s wage and benefit cost to the Administration Department while he serves as the interim Executive Director. Without this adjustment, the Department would have been $5,000 over
budget, primarily due to lower Compass and website advertising revenue.
The Lifestyle Department’s positive results reflect savings in personnel costs from wage increases less than budgeted and from expected expenditures for maintenance, supplies, and repairs that have not yet occurred.
Revenue from accessory sales in the Spa at Kilaga Springs was larger than projected, offsetting the slightly lower revenue from spa services in the first quarter. Additional savings from salary increases that were less than budgeted were also realized.
The WellFit Department’s revenue was on budget, and savings in all expense categories produced its overall better-than-budget net revenue.
The Facilities and Landscape Department spent less than budgeted on landscape maintenance, utilities, and personnel, which more than offset higher than projected maintenance, supply, and repair costs. The personnel savings reflected open positions and wage increases that were less than budgeted.
Reserve Expenditures
During the first quarter, $424,000 was spent on replacing or repairing Association assets. Although the Orchard Creek Ballroom project was completed in March, much of the cost had not been paid by the end of the month. The Reserve Study anticipates additional expenditures of $3.5 million this year as other large projects are approved and completed.
Lifestyle News and Happenings
Flying Into Summer Amphitheater Concerts
Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager
At this time of year, in Lifestyle, we feel like we are flying. Of course, it is figurative, but sometimes we are moving so quickly it feels like we might actually take flight. It is an incredibly busy time for everyone here, but when we are about to launch a new Summer Amphitheater Concert Series (SACS), on top of the usual day-to-day programming, we kick it into high speed.
The seating capacity for SACS shows is high, with a maximum of 2,000, so they are perfect for bringing your family and friends. (When you purchase their tickets, you get the resident rate of $27 per ticket.) Thanks to our invaluable, unpaid staff–resident volunteers, we can keep the prices low while still making considerable net revenue for the Association. We appreciate our entertainment volunteers enormously. Please thank them when you can so they know you do, as well.
We have another diverse line-up this year with quality tribute entertainers. The Fabulous Yachtsmen are opening the series. Only 400 people had the opportunity to see them last year due to the heat. They were so fabulous, we just had to bring them back! New to Lincoln Hills this season is The Brit Pack and The Trouble with Monkeys, both fantastic. We have favorites returning, including Hipper Than Hip, who were so good in the Ballroom last year, we brought them back for the big stage this summer. Jared Freiburg is closing out the series with his unbelievably high-energy show, which will keep spirits flying through the finale.
Season packages for the entire series are on sale through May 23. Buying the package ensures your seat at every show, and you get a 20% discount and a Captain’s Hat to wear for the yacht rock opening show.

WellFit News
Flying into Summertime
Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director
As summer approaches, consider incorporating fitness and wellness practices that support physical and mental well-being. You will need to adapt to the summer heat. Instead of a long workout, opt for shorter, more intense sessions in the morning or evening when the sun has gone down. Try water activities swimming, paddleboarding, hiking or biking, embrace the outdoors. We live in such a beautiful area with many lakes and places to hike. If that is not your thing, practice meditation outdoors connecting to nature reduces stress and improves your mood.
Don’t forget to eat well and fire up the grill with healthy foods, be careful of fatty meats and sugary sauces that can have negative health consequences.
Summer fitness is not just about changing how
you exercise, it’s about enjoying your workout. The outdoor pools are open and in full swing. Enjoy the outdoor lap lane pool for a nice walk, swim, or float around the fun pool and visit with friends.
“Here Comes the Sun” Happy Hour 2025! kickoff party is Thursday, June 5. Enjoy DJ Tom Freddy while dancing under the cabana or in the pool, just floating and listening to your favorite music. There will also be prize giveaways and food and drinks from Meridians. There are no outside beverages or food allowed, and we do get busy, so it is okay to bring your own chairs. When the summer months get warmer, we may have to cancel if the temperatures are over 104 degrees for the safety of all.
We also have Sound Baths in the fun pool coming soon, Summer Concert Series, National Swimming Pool Day, and trivia in the sports bar. Happy Summer.
The Birds and the Bees for Older Adults
Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter
The “Birds and the Bees” story was a way to talk to younger children about sex-related issues without actually mentioning human sex. The origins and definition of this phrase are unclear. Regardless of how you became educated about sexual intercourse and where babies come from, it is a pretty good guess that your early education may not have prepared you for issues related to human sexuality in older age. A 2022 article
called “Sexuality and Intimacy in Older Adults” from the National Institute on Aging offers some insights.
The NIH article starts with, “Sexuality is the way we experience and express ourselves sexually. It involves feelings, desires, actions, and identity, and can include many different types of physical touch or stimulation. Intimacy is a feeling of closeness and connectedness in a relationship that can occur with or without a physical component.” Aging brings many emotional and physical transitions. These changes may interfere with the ability to have sex and may get in the way of intimacy as an expression of sexuality. On a positive note, these changes create opportunities
for older adults to redefine what sexuality and intimacy mean to them or to avoid these types of connections.
Sexuality is affected by one’s physical and emotional state. With the loss of estrogen after menopause, women may experience hot flashes, mood changes, and painful intercourse due to shortening, narrowing, and dryness of the vaginal wall. It is not uncommon for men to develop erectile dysfunction (ED), which results in a loss of ability to have and keep an erection. Many factors can contribute to sexual problems in aging, including too much alcohol, arthritis, chronic pain, dementia, depression, diabetes, heart disease, incontinence, some medications, stroke, and some surgeries. Older adults who want sexuality and intimacy may need to discover new ways to be together as they age. Healthcare providers may be able to help treat sexual issues if you share what you are experiencing. You may want to speak with a mental health specialist if you are experiencing relationship problems.
No article about sexuality would be complete without mentioning sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Age does not protect one from STDs. Anyone who is sexually active may be at risk for contracting gonorrhea, syphilis, genital warts, HIV/ AIDS, or any other STD. Enjoy the “Birds and Bees” by practicing safe sex.
Not Just for the Birds—A New Program for Lost or Found Pets
Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch
Lincoln Hills’ residents love their pets. At times however, pets may become lost; dogs, cats, tortoises, and even pet birds. For nearly fifteen years, Alison “Mary” Shelton managed the Neighborhood Watch Lost Pet Alerts Program, reuniting hundreds of pets, resulting in a documented 98% return rate. Her team of volunteers changed from time to time, but Mary continued as the program leader. This successful program alerted residents of lost pets quickly through detailed emails from Mailbox Captains. Times have changed, however. Posting on social media sites and
phone app tracking collar devices have become popular methods for reuniting pets. Because of these growing trends, Mary has decided to retire the email alerts program and promote the new Lost or Found Pet Information program. This new program provides the best resources available in our area. Mary dedicated her time to take each frantic call from pet parents, who remain forever grateful for Mary’s resolve. We all wish Mary the very best and thank her for helping in this transition. Please refer to the Neighborhood Watch website link sclhwatch.org/ Alerts/LostorFoundPet25.pdf to
download and view the new Lost or Found Pet Information. This may be a new program for lost or found pets, but there remain hundreds of wagging tails of joy, forever thankful. Thank you, Mary.
Pet Bird Popularity Soars into Summer
Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter
About 67 percent of American households own at least one kind of pet. The most common are cats and dogs. These four-legged friends offer unconditional love and companionship while enlightening humans about their species.
Having a pet bird is no different—or is it?
It’s estimated that 20.3 million pet birds live in the U.S. with 5.7 million or 4.8 percent of households owning birds. There are those who would opine and say,
“Why keep any living thing confined to a cage?” Nevertheless, some types of birds are well-suited to be captivating and protected pets that can co-exist as man’s best “feathered” friends.
Pet Bird History 101 – Pet bird popularity has been soaring since Greek and Roman times when nightingales, starlings, and magpies were kept. Later, birds were kept in homes across Europe for centuries, a tradition which was carried across the Atlantic. Solitary caged birds were common in working-class households, whereas wealthy families often kept a variety of birds in aviaries. Popular species back then included goldfinches, Northern Cardinals, and Northern Mockingbirds. Today, the most common pet birds include parrots, cockatiels, parakeets, and conures.
Pet Bird Perks – While a pet bird may not be to everyone’s
liking, its ownership comes with many advantages. For instance, you don’t have to walk a bird. There’s no need for a litter box. They eat like birds, take up little space, and live long lives. Plus, some birds can sing and speak. They’re social, communicative, and the only animals on earth that can imitate human language. And like other pet varieties, they provide a companionship value, especially for stay-at-home individuals. (Don’t think that just because birds are two-legged and small, they don’t require care. Especially in the summer, they need to be fed and kept hydrated and cool.)
Meet the Pets – Skipper is a Yellow-naped Amazon Parrot owned by Lincoln Hills residents Quinton and Phyllis Brown for some 41 years. Clever and colorful, Skipper will politely say “good by” to his visitors.
Vito has an offer you can’t refuse
Vito, owned by resident Randy Lucchetti, is a two-year-old Pied Pearl Cockatiel. Vito’s pastimes are mimicking whistles and walking back up his ladder after a short flight from his cage.
The avian species that contains some 10,000 varieties globally offers an appeal and pastime for birdkeepers and birdwatchers alike. So, spread your wings. Discover the world of birds. The sky’s the limit!

Flying Into Summer with the Bird People
David Wright, Roving Reporter
As spring days start to fly into summer, small groups of walkers are seen roosting along the trails. Their binoculars, cameras, and clipboards are “tell-tail” signs that the Lincoln Hills Bird Group is doing another bird walk. Taking seasonal strolls on our 18 trails, a core group of club peeps count and identify each of the fair-feathered friends they encounter in hopes of adding to the list of 183 bird species recorded within our community. On
road trips, members carpool to migratory sanctuaries like the Ecological Reserve near Lodi. The Central Valley is a landing zone for the Pacific Flyway between Mexico and Canada—a sort of rest area along the Audubon I-5.
Proper identification of the winged wonders requires the use of “field marks,” such as their size and shape, the presence or absence of a crest, and the location where they are seen. Members also use the Merlin app, which identifies the kind of bird by a photo and the sound it makes. Club sightings are reported on eBird, a website designed to make birding a global “Citizen Science Project.”
During monthly meetings, members can pick the bird brains of credentialed experts, view the amazing works of club photographers, and interact with live
raptors courtesy of an area falconer. Don Fallon joined the Bird Group after moving to Lincoln Hills almost five years ago. He now chairs the 400-member, no-dues club.
Don is a self-admitted “bird nut.” Awed by their beauty and flight, he secretly wishes he could fly like a bird, but that is a soar subject. He tried skydiving and hang-gliding. “They just weren’t the same,” he confides. Unflappable, Don feathered his interest by going on bird junkets all over the world—logging 2200 species in 25 countries.
Like writers are always writing, birders are always birding. Even when doing unrelated tasks, they are scanning the skies. “I was watching football on TV and saw a hawk outside my window. I watched the hawk for a few moments and ended up missing a big play on the game,” Don explains.
Feeling in a fowl mood? The Lincoln Hills Bird Group welcomes all levels of avian enthusiasts—from birdwatchers enjoying backyard feeder frenzies to birders recording their sightings to ornithologists conducting detailed studies. All it takes to join the flock is a love of birds. So, spread your wings, head outdoors, and keep looking up.

We’ve been having some productive group outings in the area. At Bobelaine, we were greeted at the entrance by a Bald Eagle flying by with breakfast in its talons, and we went to Linda Creek in Roseville. Our
next one is at nearby Penryn, where we will walk through the Traylor Ranch Nature Preserve. After that will be Canyon Oaks Trail right here at home. Get on our email list to get bulletins of our activities. We meet at P-Hall (KS) at 1:30 PM on the second Monday of each month except August. Everyone is welcome!

Country Couples
May is wonderfully blessed by the Roman goddess Maia for the goodness of spring. Indeed, our club is excited to welcome new members, including John Chan and Joe Bolin, who joined us last
November. Both said in one voice: “We love the dances! They are so much fun! The practice times are good, and the leaders are doing a great job.” John and Joe also enjoy our monthly social dinner organized by our connoisseur, Rich Pick. Adding to that, Joe said, “It’s been nice because, as a gay couple, we’re not sure we’re welcomed, but the club is so good to welcome us!” So, why not come and join us soon?

Garmin, Wahoo, Karoo. These are some of the more well-known cycling computers, all mountable on a bike. They may have somewhat different functionality, but most will display speed, average speed,
cadence, current elevation, grade, miles ascended, ride duration, and ride length. When paired with a heart rate monitor, heart rate will display. Most brands allow for customization of the display based on rider preference. Ride data can also be uploaded to a free app account such as Strava or Ride with GPS, another popular app, allowing riders to create and save routes and ride data—a fun way to track your cycling progress over the year. For details, Google either cycling computers or any of the aforementioned brands.

May is bursting with flavors at the Food Adventures Club. We began with a gourmet “Bubbles and Brunch” Mother’s Day event at Bennett’s Westside Grill. The menu featured a choice of five mouthwatering entrees, including Avocado Toast (vegan), Dungeness Crab Omelet (gluten free), and Eggs Benedict. The quarterly meeting focused on navigating the “Diet Roller Coaster” with a presentation by fellow member Hagai Narkis. We learned valuable strategies for achieving “Balance & Moderation” in eating habits.

Line Dance
Hey, line dancers. What a terrific time we had at our recent April Workshop. It was great to see so many dancers up and dancing. Great music was provided by the DJ’s. We had a group of dancers available to review dances as needed and also to cue for those who couldn’t remember the steps. This made for a stressfree experience for everyone. It was so much fun to dance and socialize with friends. We are planning many more workshops throughout the year. Also of note, the association is sponsoring the second dance night on May 21 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM in the Ballroom (OC). The cost is $8, and anyone can attend. So don’t put those dance shoes away. We are just getting started!
If you are thinking about a new activity to welcome spring, perhaps to learn a new game, stimulate and challenge your mind, or just expand your friendship circle, this is the game for you. We play every Tuesday in the Card Room (OC) from 12:30 to 4:00 PM. If you know how to play just bring your card and join a table. If you are thinking about giving it a try, come join us to observe. Free lessons are available. Contact Penny Grmolyes for class information and availability. Hope to see you next Tuesday and may the jokers be with you.

Movie Lovers
Movies provide more than entertainment, popcorn, and a soft drink. Members of our club find most movies that, but so much more. Movies teach history, facts about animals, psychology of humans, scientific facts and of course political intrigue. During our April 10 meeting we reviewed The Penguin Lessons, a story of how a penguin changed the life of many people in Argentina. We rated it 8.1. We also rated Black Bag 5.1—a story about senior spies and how they relate to friends, co-workers, and family members while exposing a mole. May 8 at 6:30 PM in OC, we discussed The Storied Life of AJ Firky and Toyko Cowboy. Both streamed. If interested? Join us on the second Thursday of each month.

Our April meeting featured the sing-along, followed by an open mic session.

Needle Arts
As we welcome the warmth of the Spring season, you may be seeking creative outlets for your restless spirit. What better solution than a needle arts retreat, a monthly workshop, or an informative and inspirational meeting. The opportunities abound. If you strolled past the NA window, you might have seen the display of our featured artist, Sue Pharis, and her inspiring quilted creations. Our April general meeting included a presentation from member Betty Kisbey who demonstrated the use of panels in quilting. An upcoming monthly craft class will have seamstresses fashioning lovely charm pack tote bags. These are all ways that membership in the NA can inspire you. Consider joining others who share your talents and interests while we keep the needle arts alive.

SCHOOLS
The school term ends in Lincoln on June 5 and the 2025-2026 school year starts on August 14. Now is a good time to consider volunteering in grades K-5 this Fall. Most volunteers enjoy contact with the children but there are also opportunities to help the teacher with various kinds of paperwork. One day a week for a few hours is a big help to a teacher. No experience is necessary, just a desire to improve the learning experience of the students. Phoenix High School will be opening in the Fall like a new High School. They will be looking for volunteers in Math, English, and History in the late Fall. Contact Irma at jmeidm@ aol.com for more information.

Ski
Another ski season has come to a close, but we have fond memories to carry us through the summer. This winter’s storms came at irregular intervals but still enough to provide a snowpack to support both our sport and our state’s
reservoirs. The highlight was our annual one-week ski getaway trip, which in March was to Mt. Bachelor, Oregon. We had great accommodations, snowfall during our week for wonderful powder skiing and boarding, and the fun town of Bend for skiers and non-skiers alike to enjoy.

Live Ball is the tennis workout that tries to check all the boxes: Action, camaraderie, fitness, and most of all, fun! Live Ball is a doubles-style game in which rotating pairs compete to gain and maintain control of a “champion” side (kind of a “king of the hill” thing). The challenging team must win two points before the champion team wins one in order to move to the champion side. Live Ball is
situational point play without the serve, it is also an opportunity to combine all levels of players.

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 longlasting 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.
