Hello June, Iâm ready for more happiness, good times, good vibes, good friends, great moments and greater memories.
Presidentâs Message
Hello Soboba Springs Residents,
As June approaches,May grays arestarting to fade, and the weather indicates summer is well on its way! In themorning, I hear birds chattering, and we have new goslings enjoying our beautiful lake.
The Motherâs Day celebration was stunning, with elegantly decorated âBreakfast at Tiffanyâsâ decor and colors. The food, especially the omelet bar, was very well received, along with the amazing potatoes, bacon and other yummy dishes. The gentlemen did a fabulous job in making Motherâs Day a success, and the Association truly appreciates all theirhard work and smiling faces. I personally have to say the mimosa was delicious. And letâs not forget the amazing gifts also added to the fun and excitement, allowing the Ladies in the park to view and put theirtickets in for theirfavorite gifts.
As I write this message, the Association is finalizing plans forthe Memorial Day ceremony and lunch, in remembrance and honor of our Veterans.
Bingo is back after a hiatus with a new day and time - now on the 2nd Monday of each month at 1:00 p.m. The turnout has been increasing, and wehope to see a big group at our next Bingo. So, grab your dabbers and favorite snacks and let's play!
As I spoke about in the May Smoke Signal, the Association is excited to bring new events that willinclude music, dancing and a Jamminâ party. Each of these events will be in addition to our current activities and will bring additionalfun gatherings just in time for the summer months. Please look in the Smoke Signal for more information.
We look forward to seeing our Residents at our Association eventsand gatherings. Please join us and get in on the fun!
Wishing you a happy beginning to summer.
Sue Ashby, Association President
Association Board Meeting Minutes
May 5, 2025
Soboba Spring Residents Association
Monthly General Board Meeting, May 5, 2025, 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse
Meeting called to order by President Sue Ashby
Pledge of Allegiance by Sue Ashby
Roll Call by Secretary Barbara Millsap:
ďˇ Absent: Rhonda Dubski, Ernie Nobel, Roxanne Zimmerman
ďˇ Visitors: Nicole Stranz, Dottie Thomas, Judy Wilkins, Paulo Corriea
Park Managerâs Report by Rocky: Rocky reported that they are finishing more of the outside fencing (to a round of applause), and double crews are coming to meet the schedule. The fencing at the front, spaces 1-7 and beyond, will be later. The green belt is going to be fertilized with 2,000 lbs. of nitrogen, so âno street parkingâ will be strongly enforced for access, and pet owners may want to curb their dogs. The bridge is about two weeks away from completion. Rocky asked that owners who put trash cans out the night before collection to please put lids on them to keep varmints from making a mess. He also asked that residents keep up with weed abatement as it is unsightly and a fire hazard. He reminded everyone that the water will be off tomorrow from 9-2.
Approval of April Board Minutes as printed in the current Smoke Signals: There were no corrections or additions. Dave Sandretto made a motion to approve the minutes, and Marge Bryant seconded it. The vote was unanimous to approve.
Financial Report was not available today and will be reviewed at the next meeting.
April Wrap-up:
ďˇ Carport Sale: It seemed like there were fewer shoppers, and speculation was a mix of the economy and weather. In November the weekday sign will be up to help with visibility.
ďˇ Spring Fling: The ham was delicious, and the potluck was excellent.
ďˇ Bingo and Card Bingo: Bingo had very good attendance on a Monday afternoon, so willcontinue to be 1:00 on the 2nd Mondays. Card Bingo is still going very strong but willbe cancelled tomorrow since the water will be shut off.
ďˇ Out to Brunch: Very good attendance and very good food at Little Angieâs, suggesting we will be back.
ďˇ Menâs Breakfast: Ernie went and said he had a good time.
ďˇ Karaoke: It was a lot of fun, as usual,with good food by Doug. Future Karaoke nights willhave Birthday/Anniversary Cake and willinvite residents whosebirthday or anniversary falls in that month to attend. They can also buy dinner, or not, but just come for cake. We will get cake to serve 45 and see how it goes.
Association Board Meeting Minutes
May 5, 2025
ďˇ Jamminâ with Friends: A written proposal was received from Nicole Stanz to have three more nights of music.

Association Board Meeting Minutes
May 5, 2025
3. An Island Party outside, utilizing the pool and a boom box, and no budget as it will be a potluck, and using Association drinks, plates and flatware.
Frank Bulliet made a motion to fund the three initial parties and Deborah seconded it. The vote was in favor unanimously. Dave Sandretto offered to put a drone up to get party pictures since it will be outside.
Christmas Caterer: A tasting date is being arranged so the Association can get a caterer booked before it is too late. Updates are coming soon.
Board Membersâ Round Table:
ďˇ Linda Padgett asked ifwe couldagain have golf cart parades. They used to be held a number of times during the year,and she misses them. There was a discussion about that, with agreement that it could be done, notably July 4, Halloween, Christmas possibly. We can remind residents to get their carts, bikes, scooters, or running shoes spiffy for upcoming parades.
ďˇ The ice cream truck that went around the park some years ago handing out treats was fun, could we do that again? That was during Covid 19 and nothing else was going on, but our membership fees were accruing,so Rhonda Dubski arranged that and other non-contact events. It was expensive then and will be more so now, and vendors would want a minimum guarantee ifthey come in.
Sue reminded the Board Members that they are expected to attend all BoardMeetings, or to notify an eBoard member if they are unable to attend.
Sue also announced that Jo and Jerry Manriquez and Roxanne Zimmerman have resigned due to personal matters, but the number of Board Members remains above the by-laws mandated number.
Meeting adjourned at 11:55 a.m.
The next Board Meeting is June 2, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the Clubhouse.

QUOTES
Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don't see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.
Morgan Housel
More people can be greater leaders than they think they can, but they need a purpose greater than themselves.
William J. Clinton, 42nd president of the United States.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Frequently attributed to Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United State
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, from a sign on his desk.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States
Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.

The Lighter Side
Rice Preference
The young woman really thought she'd been very patient through a protracted period of dating with no talk of marriage.
One night her steady boyfriend took her to a Chinese restaurant. As he perused the menu, he casually asked her, "So . . . how do you like your rice? Boiled? Steamed? Or fried?"
Without missing a beat, she looked over her menu at him and replied clearly, "Thrown."
Talking Clock
While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, one wag led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked.
"Why, that's the talking clock," the man replied. "Watch", the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering pound with a hammer.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "F'gosh sakes, you idiot, it's 2 a.m. in the morning!"
Apples
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."
