Devin Fernandez, Grandview’s SPARC Rep, had little Malcom and returned from Maternity Leave, bringing some fun programs. I hope you enjoyed the Warm Coats, School Supplies, Spring Social, the Holiday Party…

•

Sherlyn Morga earned a SPARC/Millennium Scholarship, ending a 4-year Grandview drought. Congratulations again, Sherlyn.

•

Included among the many Park upgrades were Streets ($534K), Street Lights ($150K) & Trash Enclosures ($77K). Grandview also got all-new Gas & Electric Systems.

Did You Know?

The coldest day ever recorded in the U.S. was in January: –80°F in Prospect Creek, Alaska (1971).

These projects are only possible because of the savings generated by your Income Certs. Thanks again for your cooperation.

•

My personal highlight: we celebrated the birth of our 8th grandchild! That will probably be our last, however.

Of course, some residents drove too fast, abused Guest Parking and didn’t pick up after their dogs, but those folks will do better in 2026, won’t they? Thanks to all of you, for making Grandview East such a special place.

Lock Your Car! 2

Millennium Memo continued...

We’ve had reports at several of our Parks, including Grandview, of prowlers late at night taking bikes and trying car door handles, looking for unlocked cars. One resident left a car unlocked with a wallet inside. You know that ended badly.

With that in mind, we’re reminding all our residents to lock their cars, homes & sheds. In fact, just to be safe, maybe you should hit your clicker several times, for extra lockiness. Can’t hurt?

Be careful, however. One resident—not at Grandview—accidentally locked his keys in his car. It took him 2 hours to get his family out.

Good Advice Gyms get crowded after the New Year. Better to wait for it to die down, usually around Jan. 2. It will be less hectic then.

Have a great 2026!

Manager’s Corner Dear Grandview East, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is off to a strong start in 2025. January always feels like a fresh notebook, and it’s the perfect time to reset, refresh, and keep our community looking its best.

This is also a friendly reminder to keep up with space maintenance around your homes. Keeping yards, driveways, and surrounding areas clean helps everyone enjoy a safer and more beautiful community.

Heads Up: Large/Bulky Item Trash Pickup Coming in February If you have large items you need to get rid of, Burrtec offers bulky item pickup.

You’ll need to contact their customer service to arrange a pickup or confirm dates: Burrtec Customer Service: (909) 889-1969 Common Large Item Pickup Options: • Quarterly Program (example cities like Yucaipa/Montclair) – Scheduled for the 2nd week of designated months (February, May, August, November) – February Pickup Date: Wednesday, February 11th – Limit: Up to 4 pickups per year, with a maximum of 5 items per pickup • Scheduled Pickups (most areas) – Call customer service 1–2 weeks in advance to schedule – Typical scheduling window: January 26th – February 6th – Number of allowed pickups varies by city contract (often up to 4 per year) Accepted Items: Furniture, mattresses, appliances (doors and hinges must be removed), and some electronics like monitors and TVs. Prohibited Items: Hazardous waste, construction debris, tires, and most car parts

Thanks everyone for doing your part to keep our community looking great.

I really appreciate the effort you all put into your homes and spaces. If you ever have questions or need help with anything, feel free to reach out. Wishing you and your families a great start to the new year!

Annual Disaster Preparedness Issue Make a plan today. Your family may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to know which types of disasters could affect your area. Know how you’ll contact one another and reconnect if separated. Establish a family meeting place that’s familiar and easy to find.

Step 1: Put together a plan by discussing these 4 questions with your family, friends, or household to start your emergency plan.

1. How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings?

2. What is my shelter plan?

3. What is my evacuation route?

4. What is my family/household communication plan?

Step 2: Consider specific needs in your household.

As you prepare your plan, tailor your plans and supplies to your specific daily living needs and responsibilities. Discuss your needs and responsibilities and how people in the network can assist each other with communication, care of children, business, pets, or specific needs like the operation of durable medical equipment. Create your own personal network for specific areas where you need assistance. Keep in mind some of these factors when developing your plan: •

Different ages of members • within your household

Medical needs including • prescriptions & equipment

Cultural & religious considerations

•

Responsibilities for assisting others

Disabilities or access & functional needs including devices & equipment

•

Pets or service animals

•

Households with schoolaged children

•

Locations frequented

•

Dietary needs

•

•

Languages spoken

Step 3: Fill out a Family Emergency Plan Download and fill out a family emergency plan or use them as a guide to create your own.

Plans can be found at www.ready.gov and www.fema.gov.

Step 4: Practice your plan with your family / household

Quotes

The Lighter Side

There is no such thing as can't or won't.

If you're qualified, all it takes is a burning desire to accomplish, to make a change. Go forward, go backward.

Whatever it takes! You can't blame other people or society in general. It all comes from your mind. When we do the impossible, we realize we are special people.

Jan Ashford

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love. It is the prerogative of the brave.

Mohandas Gandhi

On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.

Aldous Huxley

If you pursue money and affluence to the exclusion of the values in life, you have lost, not won.

Jim Rohn

People who consider themselves victims of circumstances, will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives.

Stedman Graham.

Your three best doctors are time, faith and patience.

From a fortune cookie

This is the time when we must firmly choose the course we will follow, or the relentless drift of events will make the decision for us.

Herbert Prochnow

Here is a test to determine whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.

Richard Bach

One of the greatest discoveries people make is to find they can do what they were afraid they couldn't do.

Henry Ford

Poor speller "Hello, 911? Please come right away. My wife was just attacked by a wart hog!"

"What is your address?"

"181 Eucalyptus Street."

"Could you spell that?" " ... I'll just drag her over to Oak Street."

Terrible phenomenon In one hospital's Intensive Care Unit, patients in one bed always died at about 11 a.m. on Sunday morning. A worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate. On Sunday, they waited outside the ward to see what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some prayed or held holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.

As the clock struck 11 a.m., the part-time Sunday cleaner, entered the ward.

He unplugged the life support system so he could plug in the vacuum cleaner.

Grief and suffering A dietitian was addressing a large audience in Chicago: "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed us. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food has MSG. And vegetables can be disastrous.

"But one thing is the most dangerous of all and we all have eaten it or will eat it. What food causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"

A 75-year-old in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake."
