Millennium Memo
“The next time you get the urge to procrastinate, just put it off.” Anonymous.
How many of life’s unpleasant tasks only take a few moments to accomplish? Brushing your teeth, perhaps, or, if you have a well-kept yard, pulling weeds? I’ll add one more to that list: completing and returning your Annual Income Certification.
As I never tire of reminding you, your Certs pay for upgrades to your Park. Projects we’re considering for the new Fiscal Year include a Clubhouse Generator, lining the Sewers, Clubhouse HVAC, rebuild the Pool Gate, lot line markers about $400K in all.
That’s worth a few moments of your time, isn’t it? Please return your Cert as soon as you can.
SPARC in SJME
From what I’m told, the Golf Clinic was a fun change of pace. The 6 kids that attended learned things I haven’t been able to master: how to hold a club, putt, chip…thanks to Chloe Carraway for donating her time and expertise.
I’m writing this on June 5, so I can’t report on the June 14 STEAM Program. More on that next month. Also, a reminder: there’s still time to apply for a SPARC/Millennium College Scholarship, but the deadline is August 1. Don’t procrastinate!
In Other News
Millennium Memo Continued...
• This month’s Kudos go to Dick Dittmar & Orly Burrola, for putting flags around the Clubhouse and Entrance to commemorate Memorial Day. Very generous of you two!
• Congratulations to Eder on the arrival of his beautiful baby daughter Emeri Bloom. Welcome to the Millennium Family, Emeri!
• You aren’t one of those who’s been speeding, blowing through Stop Signs and scaring other residents, are you? I didn’t think so, but some of your neighbors aren’t quite as courteous. I know 15 MPH seems slow, but please drive safely.
• Last month I complained about kids on E-Bikes. Apparently, some adults are a concern as well?
On a Lighter Note
A dog goes into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender said: “You don’t see a dog in here drinking a martini very often.” The dog said: “At these prices, I’m not surprised.”
Don’t forget to turn in your Income Cert…and have a fun 4th of July!

Stop Signs There has been a significant increase in speeding and not stopping at stop signs. I have received a number of near miss accidents over the past 2 months. Please slow down and please STOP at all stop signs. School is out and there is more activity in the park.
Pool and Jacuzzi rules:
• Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult

Car Wash - Cars may not be washed in your carport if using a cleaning material. Note that all water drains to the ocean. You must use the carwash which has a special drain if cleaning with soap.
Exterior House cleaning can only be done with a hose or power washed with water only. No soap or cleaning material can be used. All water drains to the ocean.
Guest parking continues to be a concern. Please note that overnight guest parking is for guests visiting your home only. There must be either a temporary parking permit or a SJME hang tag in the window for them to park in guest parking. Your vehicle must be parked either in your carport or onAlipaz street, it should not be parked in guest parking overnight or it will be towed.
Safe Lists - We are researching the possible implementation of Safe Lists for all guests using overnight guest parking which you would need to register. We will keep you updated when we implement this.
Landscaping – thank you for making your home gorgeous for the inspections! Since we had some recent rain, there continues to be a significant amount of weeds in gutters. Please look up to see if you have some mini-trees in those gutters to remove.
Inspection follow-up - Please note that we are following up on all inspections that were of concern through the month of July.
Standing Water – Please check around your home for any standing water and remove it. This will prevent those pesky mosquitos which are common in the summer months.

The Lighter Side
Then and now
A tour guide was showing a tourist around Washington, D. C. The guide pointed out the place where George Washington supposedly threw a dollar across the Potomac River. "That's impossible," said the tourist. "No one could throw a coin that far!"
"You have to remember," answered the guide. "A dollar went a lot farther in those days."
Water Formula

Little Johnny replies, "Yesterday you said it was H to O!"
Fast Drinker
A man goes into a bar and seats himself on a stool. The bartender looks at him and says, "What'll it be buddy?"
The man says, "Set me up with seven whiskey shots and make them doubles." The bartender does this and watches the man slug one down, then the next, then the next, and so on until all seven are gone almost as quickly as they were served. Staring in disbelief, the bartender asks why he's doing all this drinking.
"You'd drink them this fast too if you had what I have."
The bartender hastily asks, "What do you have, pal?"
The man quickly replies, "I have a dollar."
