Millennium Memo 2025 was an interesting year—but then, aren’t they all. Here are a few highlights…

January Dates to Remember New Year’s Day

Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day

Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday

19

Did You Know?

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

•

Stacee & the folks at SPARC had their usual good year, bringing several programs to the Park: a Back-to-School event, Scam Seminar, Creativity Lab, Golf Clinic, Halloween & Holiday Parties…

•

Celeste Escamilla & Madelyn Wapner earned SPARC/ Millennium Scholarships, continuing SJME’s 13-year SPARC Scholar winning streak.

•

15 homes sold in the last 12 months, at an average price of…wait for it…$493K. That compares with $362K in 2024.

9 of the 15 sold for more than $500K. Your home remains a very valuable asset!

•

Included among the many capital improvements were more Clubhouse Doors. We’ve now spent $117K just on doors during our 19 ½ years of ownership.

•

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 San Juan Mobile Estates such a special place.

Christmas in SJME 2

Millennium Memo continued...

58 SJME residents—along with Santa AND The Grinch--attended the SPARC Holiday event. A highlight: the HOA generously adopted all registered children, providing gifts for each one.

Attendees decorated cookies & Santa Hats, got gift bags, enjoyed lunch (Panda Express!). Thanks to the HOA, and Stacee & the folks at SPARC (including surprise visitors Dave and Everett—Stacee’s husband & son.

We also are awarding Holiday Kudos to Kyra & Eder—Kyra for organizing the Holiday Bazaar, Eder for putting up all the Christmas lights. Thanks to Kyra & Eder for making SJME that much more festive.

Lastly, SPARC distributed 40 warm coats last month to the Children of SJME. They didn’t just get coats—they partook of hot cocoa, donuts & milk. Next up for SPARC: New Year, New Shoe on Jan. 24.

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 HAPPY NEW YEAR! A new year, new hopes, new dreams and a new journey!

Let’s all be thankful for the all that happened this past year: •

All Clubhouse doors have been replaced this year!

•

New Air Conditioner for the Clubhouse.

•

New benches in the patio area!

•

Completed 312 home inspections in 30 days!

•

15 homes sold and 15 new neighbors moved into SJME

•

Helping Hands provided over $5,000 of support to over 15 families

in the park with gift cards, landscaping work, painting their home or providing some food!

•

Helping Hands and the Resident Association Board provided 12 turkey dinners with all the fixings (50 lb. boxes) to 12 families in the park. We could not have provided all of that without your donations, which made up the fixings.

•

Lots of fun events by Activities committee, Resident Association Board and SPARC.

Although we did have some water and sewer concerns, you were understanding and patient as we worked through them. Additionally, having a Sycamore tree root crack through the

gym was not expected, we have tried to create a small temporary gym for those die hard gym users! The goal is to have the entire gym completed by January 31 st!

Your patience and understanding during these challenging maintenance issues helps make them bearable! So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Some announcements and rules reminders: •

Please stop at all stop signs and remember the speed limit is 15 miles per hour. This includes all modes of transportation!

•

Guest parking is for GUESTS only, not for that extra car that you can’t fit in your carport.

4

Inside Story Headline If you can’t fit it at your home, it goes on the street. This will continue to be enforced and can result in the towing of your vehicle.

•

Parking in front of your house is not permitted. They are fire lanes and need to allow accessibility in an emergency. If you need to drop something off, please put on your hazards and limit it to 15 minutes. If you have a physical therapist of vising nurse/caretaker, please direct them to guest parking in your area.

•

When parking in front of your house, you must park on the correct side of the street, do not park your car in the wrong direction, especially at night!

•

The Office will be closed December 25th and 26th as well as January 1st and 2nd!

•

Please review the information in the Chit Chat about the Christmas Tree pick-up. We will not have a dumpster for this.

•

Hint for listening to the messages sent out. Do not answer and the let the message go to voice mail. If you do answer on a land line, please say “hello” to trigger the message to be played.

Kyra, Billy, Eder and I would like to thank you for all your support this year and we would like to wish you a Happy Holiday season and we look forward to an awesome New Year!

All holiday decorations must be removed promptly after the holiday, Christmas lights must be taken down by the end of January.

Annual SJME Residents Association Dues Announcement Every year San Juan Mobile Estates holds elections for the Advisory Board, and voting is open to anyone who has paid their annual $15 dues. Everyone should have the opportunity to participate in this important part of park life, and while it might not seem like much to some people, for others $15 could mean the difference between having a meal or not. If you would like to vote for the people who represent you and are not able to afford the $15 annual dues please contact Susan or Kyra in the office and let them know. Funds are available to pay your dues. As always, all requests for help are confidential.

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
