Did You Know?

In 1970, Elvis Presley and Priscilla spent part of their honeymoon at the Alexander Estate in Palm Springs now nicknamed “The House of Tomorrow.” The futuristic home, with its circular rooms and stone walls, became a symbol of desertmodern style and 70s glamour. Elvis leased the home from 1966 1967 at a whopping $21,000 for the year.

One of our favorite SPARC programs is the Sound the Alarm event, in partnership with the Red Cross. This time, the alarm was sounded on May 17.

We keep Sounding the Alarm in hopes that all of you will have working Smoke Detectors. SPARC & the Red Cross have installed hundreds of FREE detectors over the years, but apparently we’re not at 100% yet. I hope you took advantage this time.

SPARC also sponsored a CPR Class on May 13. That’s after the deadline for this Memo, but I hope to have a report for you next time. As always, lunch was provided.

Finally, SPARC and the Alzheimer’s Association are presenting a class called “Responding to Dementia-Related Behaviors,” something that was a resident request. Come for the information, stay for FREE Togo’s Sandwiches.

One thing I remember from the CPR class I attended: press hard on the chest for 100 beats per minute, the same beat as the Bee Gees song “Staying Alive.” Or, if you prefer, you can use the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust.” It’s the same beat.

More News

• This month’s Kudos go to Jonathan Stanyard (Sp. 74) and park employee Tony Flores. Jonathan & Tony make 2 trips each month to pick up the Brown Bag food a big job!

Without their help, we might not be able to offer this resource.

Thanks, you two, for performing this service for your neighbors.

• In her Monthly Manager Report, Nancy mentioned the weed problem several times in the Bocce Court, common areas, residents’ yards that tells me it’s a problem, and a sign that some of you have some yard work to do.

Please take advantage of the nicer weather and address Nancy’s weed concerns.

• Richard & Kelly are stepping down as Social Chairs at the end of their term and they seem to mean it this time. They’ve done such a great job reinvigorating the Committee, but they’ve earned their rest. Any volunteers?

Father’s Day Note From My Daughter

“Dear Dad…I wish I had enough money to buy the Angels for you. I wouldn’t do that, I just wish I had that much money.” Brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

Stay alert while walking your dog and Have a fun Father’s Day!

George Turk

Yesterday, I was washing the car with my son. He said, “Dad, can’t you just use a sponge?”

June Summer begins & we have Father’s Day the 2 main events for this month. Be sure to sign up for the Father’s Day BBQ scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on Saturday the 14th. Sign up for what is sure to be a wonderful BBQ lunch. Then spend the afternoon swimming! A great way to spend your day.

We have had a new incident with solicitors here at HVME who said they represented a PG&E affiliate. However, when asked by a resident to go with her to the office to speak with me, they refused to go.

Both this office and SPARC want to provide you with any legitimate service we hear about. This of course is the case with the many organizations we have presented including: American Red Cross and their “Sound the Alarm” program; PG&E free weatherization programs; and many other programs we have given you information about in the past. Further, we welcome information regarding any new service either we hear about, or you bring us information about, that we can check out. Please drop this office an email or come by and let us know about a service you may be interested in. That way, we can check it out and make it available for you. We want to bring you any legitimate service, but for everyone’s protection, we want to make sure the service or product is fully vetted.

The solicitor that I’m talking about was not cooperative and Scott had to escort 2 solicitors working in tandem from the premises, which tells me they were NOT legitimate. When soliciting, they requested and were provided with some resident’s personal information, such as social security proof of income, and other documents.

The best action when someone knocks on your door, is to tell them they need to go to the office and get approval. Then call the office and notify us there is a solicitor in the park. If you follow this, you will protect yourself and if they are legitimate you will find out about this service from the office and be able to participate in it. We never let anyone go door to door unless they have been vetted by SPARC/Millennium.

Please, protect your identity. Do not give your personal information to someone coming door to door! Both SPARC and this office do not want to keep any legitimate service from you. In fact, SPARC puts on luncheons to bring you as much information as possible and any legitimate services. They are the experts let them do their job. I regret that too many HVME residents have been victims of fraud. Don’t let it be you. Thanks everyone. Blessings so you all.

Happy summer & Father’s Day! Scott & Nancy

Good day everyone,

As always, I hope that everyone is doing great and staying healthy. Most of you know that I had my left knee replaced on April 30th, and am on the mend. I thank all of you for the well wishes and your concern. I am doing pretty good and my pain levels haven’t been to bad, not bad for it just the first week. By the time you are reading this I should be back to normal and scheduling some tee times for the golf course.

The Social Committee is still looking for residents to come forward to volunteer to take over next year’s Social Club activities. It really isn’t that hard to do and we are willing to share the things we have learned these last 3 years of us being on the committee. If you would like to take part in serving our residents, please contact us and you can shadow us as we plan some the next events. You will be pretty much setup monetarily to do the things that you would like to do. We plan on being around to assist you get things going and making sure you are comfortable if needed.

We have had lots of events that were great over the past through years and we have ones that were not very good….it happens but we learn and move forward. You can never fail because you learn what works and what doesn’t. Edison learned over 800 times what didn’t work when developing the light bulb until he found the correct filament that did work. You only fail when you don’t try.

We are proud of the things we have been able to here, but it’s time to do some things we love to do…and have the time to do them.

Take care, hope to see you all very soon.

You give but little when you give of your possessions You truly give when you give of yourself.

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.

Aubrey Drake Graham (Drake), Recording artist, songwriter

If Trivial Pursuit had been designed by economists, it would have had 100 questions and 3,000 answers.

Ronald Reagan

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."
