Saddleback’s signature event is back. Our annual 4th of July Celebration is right around the corner!! To make it even better, this year the 4th falls on a Friday. Hello 3 day weekend!
Nothing is better than being an American on the fourth: sunshine, food off the grill, and the company of good friends and family while celebrating the birth of our country. We hope you and your family enjoy this special holiday here at Saddleback!
July 4th kicks off with a Parade around the Park. To participate in the parade please come to the clubhouse at 11:15 AM.
Any mode of transportation is encouraged. You can ride in a golf cart or bike or just walk and enjoy the fresh air. The fun part of the parade is to dress up and/or decorate your bike. If you cannot participate in the parade, grab a spot along the parade route and cheer on your friends! The more the merrier as it energizes the parade and sets the mood for a great day.
Once all the parade participants have arrived, there will be a short opening ceremony where we will have an introduction about the parade, share some thoughts about the 4th, recite the pledge of allegiance and then finish off with a prayer. The music on our golf cart will start and the parade will begin.
The parade route is the outer rim Park streets: La Ronda, Estrella, Buena Vista and Rancho. We will do one slow lap. After the lap, the clubhouse will be open for lunch, which will begin at 11:45 AM.
We are going have the awesome Lenny Holiday the DJ mixing your favorite tunes poolside for all to enjoy. We encourage everyone to bring their bathing suit and take a swim after lunch. Last year our family went to Tustin High School to watch the fireworks and we were really impressed! We had a fantastic time. To watch the fireworks show bring a blanket and chairs and find a nice spot of grass near the Tustin High School track and football field off San Juan Street. You can do your own picnic or there are food vendor trucks offering things to eat. We recommend getting their early because parking in the surrounding streets fills up as you get
closer to the show start time. We are looking forward to a great 4th of July celebration as it is one of the best days of the year.
Great news!! We had a brand new pool deck installed! The previous pool deck was looking weathered and getting old. We first met with a few different contractors to see what kinds of options were available and we were pleasantly surprised with what could be done. We wanted something that looked modern, but that was also strong and durable.
We settled on a unique process where the contractor uses the existing cracks in the cement to make an artistic pattern along the deck. Once the design is in place, all uneven spots are smoothed out and the deck is sealed with a thick high-quality resin. This gives it a nice texture for walking on and keeps the moisture out. Lastly, there is a pigmented sealer color coat that is applied. This is a sweet option because we were able to choose the color of the deck.
The final product is a beautifully designed deck that is extremely durable and slip resistant. Come on out and enjoy the new pool deck this summer!
As we are coming into the summertime hotter months, this is a friendly reminder to check your sprinkler timer to see if the number of watering days needs to be increased or the time per section should be increased to account for the hotter weather. Going into summer we recommend 3-4 days a week of watering with 20 minutes a section. Not all yards are the same, so perhaps your yard may need less or more watering, this is just a general recommendation that will work for most yards.
Sprinkler systems also need regular maintenance. Some items to check for on your system include: broken sprinkler heads, heads that are clogged or pointed the wrong direction and spots in your yard that are not getting any water.

On Monday, May 12, Matthew Sarmiento from Saddleback Chapel shared with us about pre-planning funerals or cremations. He explained that although this is not a topic we like to speak about, it is a kind thing to do for our family members. The three problems that come up when someone passes are who to call, what to do, and how to pay for it. We can have peace of mind that the process will be much easier for our family if we have made arrangements in advance.
Many of us had questions, and he did a great job addressing them. One question was about what if you moved out of the area, and your advance planning was with Saddleback Chapel. He explained that the plan is transferable and will follow you wherever you go. Each individual can choose whatever level of coverage they would like, and he will offer guidance in the process. If we really think about it, we all need to ease the stress on our loved ones for the inevitable. If you would like to talk to Matthew about your situation, you can reach him at Saddleback Chapel, 714-544-1450.

David visiting China in April 2025
Submitted by Ann Bennett
David is one of our new neighbors in Saddleback, moving into this community in October of 2024. He moved here from a 5,000 square foot home with 50 palm trees in Cowan Heights and purchased a new home here in Saddleback (Sp. #139). His daughter will be moving into his old home in July. His motivation to make the move was to downsize and make life a little simpler. David was born in Taiwan and moved by himself to the United States when he was 25 years old. He studied environmental engineering and got his master’s and PhD degrees at the University of Cincinnati. He started working for a company and transferred to Orange County in 1990. In 2000 he founded his own engineering company. In 2019 he sold the company and retired when he was 59 years old. He then went back to school, studied 4 years of Chinese medicine, and got his license to practice it in California. David has been practicing Taichi Quan (a traditional Chinese Kung Fu) for over forty years. Over the years he gained a lot of knowledge of the human body in terms of Qi circulation, fascial movement, and efficient breathing. On June 4 David will begin teaching a free class at our clubhouse for Saddleback residents on Taichi Qigong. The time will be from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. His promotional material says, “Age with strength, grace, and pride.”
David enjoys Chinese calligraphy and Taichi Quan in his spare time as well as hiking and camping. He will be going to the San Miguel Island (one of the Channel Islands near Ventura) in July with friends to hike, camp and “see lots of dolphins.” This island is only open in the Fall and David feels fortunate that he was able to get in this year. David loves to travel. He just got back from a 20-day trip to China with friends. He said the place he visited has lots of beautiful flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables. He loves hiking and camping in New Zealand and has been there four times (for two to four weeks at a time). He said you can see a glacier and the rain forest on the same day. David has one daughter and one son. His daughter has two children who enjoy playing here in the park. His son lives in Huntington Beach and is going to get married next year.

June is a summer month in the northern half of the world, and a winter month in the southern half. It is named after Juno, the goddess of youth.
June is the sixth month in the Gregorian calendar and has 30 days. It is the first month of astronomical summer in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
June is named after Juno, the Roman goddess of youth and protection. Her name (Latin Iūnō) comes from the root word for “young” (Iuuen) and goes back to the idea of vital energy and fertility.
Another etymology for the origin of June explains the month’s name with the Latin word for youth: June was dedicated to Iuventas, the young, while May was for the Maiores, the elders. Both explanations work equally well, as Juno is the goddess of youth.
The June solstice or Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the first day of astronomical summer. The date varies between June 20, 21, and 22.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the June solstice is the first day of astronomical winter since it is the shortest day of the year there. The word solstice means “sunstopping” (from the Latin solstitium) because the Sun seems to be standing still in the sky.
Midsummer means the middle of summer. It is celebrated either on the summer solstice (June 20, 21, or 22) or St John’s Day on June 24. Midsummer is mainly celebrated in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland (the Nordic countries), and Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (the Baltic countries).
A Full Moon Solstice Celebration?
In Scandinavia, Midsummer is also called Midsommar or Sankt Hans after the Christian martyr Saint John the Baptist. The Christian Church celebrates his day on June 24, exactly six months before Christmas. St John is said to “prepare the way
for Christ,” as the sunlight decreases after Midsummer and increases after Christmas.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States on June 19. The name comes from the date: June nineteenth became June-teenth. On June 19, 1865, all remaining slaves in Texas were freed by Union soldiers. The day is also known as Emancipation Day and celebrates freedom and equal rights.
Father’s Day is celebrated around the world on different dates. In Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, it falls on the third Sunday of June. In Thailand, for example, it is celebrated on December 5 the birthday of the late King Bhumibol of Thailand.
In the old Roman calendar, June was called mens iunius and had 29 days. The Roman year started in March, and Iunius was the fourth month. In the year 154 BCE, a rebellion forced the Roman senate to change the beginning of the civil year from March to January 1. With this reform, June officially became the sixth month in the year 153 BCE.
In the year 46 BCE, Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar system the Julian calendar. He added ten days to the year and introduced the leap day. In the new Julian calendar, June was expanded to 30 days. taken from https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/months/june.html

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.

Ronald Reagan
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."
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!"
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."
