Let the sunshine of August inspire you to shine your brightest, let your dreams soar high and your spirit stay strong.

President’s Message

Hello Soboba Springs Residents,

Summer is in full swing. And whether you’re taking a vacation, or enjoying the pooland events in the park, my hope is that the memories you make this August keep you smiling all year long!

Our Sock Hop Dance Party, the first party of summer, was a rocking success, with amazing grilled hamburgers, fries, and root beer floats. It also included awesome music, dancing and even a poodle skirt tocomplete the night’s festivities.

In August, the Association party theme willbe “Summer of 69” and centers around the iconic Woodstock music festival with 1960’s music,fashion, and a festival-like atmosphere including a potluck dinner. We hope to see everyone join in the fun with theirtie-dye, bell bottoms, headbands, peace signs and fringe outfits. Keep an eye out for the flyer in your mail tubes with more details.

Our weekly and monthly events continue throughout the summer including Card Bingo, Billiards, Bingo, Karaoke, Pool Social Get Together and out-of-the-park Men’s Breakfast and Out to Brunch, not to mention our highly anticipated parties. This is a great time to join in on one or more of these exciting activities.

May August be filled with sunny skies, gentle breezes, and carefree days.

Sincerely,

Sue Ashby Association President

Association Board Meeting Minutes

July 7, 2025

Soboba Springs Residents Association Monthly General Board Meeting, July 7, 2025

Meeting called to order by President Sue Ashby at 10:03 a.m. Pledge of Allegiance led by Sue Roll Call by Secretary Barbara Millsap

Absent: Rhonda Dubski, Wendy Mathisen, Luci Nelson, Linda Padgett, Deborah Swenson. Visitors: Paulo Corriea, Rod Brown, Elizabeth and Ed Dominguez

Park Manager’s Report: Rocky told Sue there was nothing new to share and projects in the park were keeping him very busy.

Approval of June Board Minutes as printed in the current Smoke Signals: Jerry Millsap made a motion to approve the minutes, which was seconded by Clara Corriea. No corrections or additions. The motion was approved unanimously. (Update: Since the Smoke Signals delivery was delayed and Board Members could not review the minutes, this vote is vacated and another vote and opportunity to make corrections will be at the August meeting.)

Financial Report forMay by Sue: Sue forgot to bring the printout for May and asked that it be reviewed and approved next month. There were no objections. The June report will publish in the July Smoke Signal and be approved at the August general board meeting.

June Wrap Up:

 Sock Hop: It was well-done for a new event, with yummy burgers grilled outdoors and root beer floats indoors. The new PA system did very well, and dancing was fun.

 Card Bingo and Bingo: Card Bingo was summer light but still fun, with a new couple who did very well for themselves. Bingo continues to build and is quite enjoyable.

 Out to Brunch: There was a nice group at J&M in June and look forward to Little Angie’s in July.

 Karaoke: As always it was a good group who enjoyed ham and/or chicken salad sliders with Clara’s macaroni salad. It was Cowboy Steve’s final night as a regular. He is moving but will stop inwhen he can. There was cake for the birthdays/anniversaries and for Steve, with a card and picture that everyone signed.

 Pool Social Get-Together: The first one was last Thursday, and nine residents came and enjoyed chips and salsa and conversation around the pool. Danie hopes it will build as the summer goes on.

 Smoke Signals delivery has been delayed because the printer is having issues with the Xerox machine. They said they were printed over the holiday weekend, and will be delivered to Marge today, who hopes to get them delivered tomorrow (July 8).

 Men’s Breakfast: The men will meet at Dennys now. Rod fixed breakfast at his home for Father’s Day and he reports that they might want to do that again in the Clubhouse. Details to be worked out and discussed.

Upcoming Events:



Association Board Meeting Minutes

July 7, 2025

Summer Dance Parties: The Fiesta Party will be on the 19th with a taco truck and music. All details have been discussed, finalized and voted on at a previous meeting. The Luau in August needs to be updated since it cannot be held at the pool. Danie is looking for a new theme.

 Christmas Dinner: Two caterers have arranged a tasting for the eBoard, one inJuly and one in August. The results willbe presented to the Board in September with recommendations and a vote to finalize the booking, cost, menu and timing.

 Car Wash: Rocky said the covered parking that the staff uses is available when we need it. The Association will provide soap and towels, Rhonda will schedule the Kids in August, who only take tips, and will get the information in Smoke Signals, etc.

 Thanksgiving: A musician who plays sax and sings at many Temecula vineyards will play music for two hours while residents enjoy their dinner. He will charge $250, well below his usualfee. Danie made a motion toapprove the fee, and Clara seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.

 Mortuary Presentation: Sue has been approached by Miller Jones Mortuary to do a presentation of theirservices, but it might seem the Association is endorsing them. In discussions about having them, it was recommended that we have a fair with health care, insurance, mortuary and even estate planning representatives to come all on one day. A similarevent was held last year and the contact who put it together can be asked to do itagain. Further information to be presented at the next meeting.

Board Members’ Round Table Discussion:

 Jerry Millsap reports that fundraising for the Christmas Bonanza as of June 30 is at $1408. With six months left to fundraise, he expects to have a fun Christmas for a number of residents.

 Danie asked if we could have residents bring paper to be shredded. Sue said the office has Shredd It come once a month and wondered if residents couldpay to have their paper shredded the same day. Danie said she would contact Lisa and see if that’s possible and what it would cost a resident.

 Q: With the recent and very close firewe had, how does the notice to evacuate reach residents? A: Rocky would be notified by fire officials and he would get the information to residents via employees, etc.

 Rod Brown asked with the passing of Simon, a long-time worker with Park groundskeepers, has the Association expressed condolences, had a prayer or remembrance? Danie added that hearing about it on Facebook instead of from the Association seemed disconnected. Sue answered that public announcements are at the discretion of the family, not the Association, and the choice to do so or not has been varied and personal. Further, it is not in the purview of the Association to step in and direct such choices, but to respect the privacy of family members.

Association Board Meeting Minutes

July 7, 2025

The meeting was adjourned at 11:03. The next meeting is August 4, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse.

Correction and apology for incorrect information in the June minutes: It was reported that Rita Temple had passed away, when in fact she had not. It was further reported that the daughter of another resident had passed away. In both instances Smoke Signals is not the place for personal information such as a death to be reported and the Association will not do so in the future. The family of any resident who passes away can ask the Association to print in Smoke Signals or not, to post on Facebook or not, and/or holda memorial in the Clubhouse or not, but the Association willnot do anything without an authorized request.

Submitted by: Barbara Millsap, Association Secretary

A Moment in Time by

Jerry Millsap

The afternoon sun cast our silhouette It was a moment in time I’ll never forget Touching hand in hand, oblivious to the heat We forged a secret, our lives now so replete

An epiphany of how at ease we are together Ignoring the world, even today’s sweltering weather In that moment I found someone to trust A match, a partner, a friend not just lust

So, I gave something I had not done before It was my heart and soul, I wanted to soar

I don’t remember how our paths changed Or can’t recall why our hearts became estranged I do remember that moment in time When two became one, it was, oh, so sublime
