Thomas Jefferson invented a swiveling chair, and used it to draft the Declaration of Independence. He adapting a Windsor chair and incorporating an iron spindle and rollers from window sash pulley to allow it to rotate. Talk about spinning into history!
“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 Sewer Repairs, Flooring in the Main Hall, new Clubhouse Lighting, Pool Fencing, the Ceramics Kiln, Pool Furniture…
That’s worth a few moments of your time, isn’t it?
We were very sorry to hear of John Davis’ passing last month after a short illness. John, of course, was the founder of Haven Management, which manages 11 of our 20 Parks.
John was a great supporter of Millennium and one of my best friends in the Industry. He understood our desire for a residentfriendly management style and attended countless resident meetings without complaining well, maybe just a little.
In fact, I’d say John was a big part of Millennium’s success. He operated with compassion, gave sound advice, kept calm in the face of resident demands…he was everything you could wish for in a Manager.
Please keep John’s wife Joan and his two children Katie & Michael in your thoughts, and give Katie your full support as she carries on the Haven legacy.
26 of you attended the May 15 CPR class. These lucky 26 got hands-on experience, took home handouts and Red Cross swag and enjoyed a FREE lunch from Togos.
A couple weeks later, 51 Smoke Detectors were installed in 42 homes in the latest Sound the Alarm event. Our thanks to the 30 Red Cross volunteers, who made the Park that much safer, and to Ally & the folks at SPARC for sponsoring.
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.”
Turn in your Income Cert…and have a safe & sane 4th of July! George Turk
Happy 4th Everyone! Many of you had the opportunity to attend our May quarterly meeting where Katie Davis, Haven Management’s property supervisor for Hacienda Valley, came to meet with and speak to us about our budget, the wish list and other items of interest. She went over our community financials thus far in this fiscal year, and answered several questions. One of the items she discussed was the upcoming “Wish List”. She mentioned items that are on their way to final approval one item of which is a kiln for a ceramics club.
I am so excited to get a Ceramics Club on the way to being a great activity here at Hacienda Valley. Katie mentioned at the quarterly meeting that another Millennium community that has a ceramics group has 3 or 4 key people who they made sure were well trained on kiln usage the “Experts”. And, these “experts” made sure the subsequent kiln users had training to enable them to properly and safely use the kiln as well. Katie would like it if we followed this tried and successful model. As I’m sure you have heard here and from others we have over 600 molds, cleaned and cataloged and all ready to start making beautiful ceramic items for household use and for home décor. We have molds for cups, mugs, platters, bowls of all sizes, holiday décor, cream and sugar containers, honey pots you name it, we have it.
If you would be interested in becoming one of the initial group of “Kiln Experts”, please let me, Scott or Kelly know. I’m very excited to see this project started as it is a wonderful craft that can be enjoyed by both men and women alike. And speaking of crafts...
Kelly and I are cleaning out every cupboard and drawer in the craft room. We have such an amazing selection of crafts supplies for everything from sewing to card making, scrapbooking, to knitting. Are you someone with a talent in an art or craft? I speak from experience when I say how fun it is to teach others things you have always enjoyed doing. You might want to consider starting a class to teach others here in Hacienda Valley that craft, especially since we have such a huge variety of craft materials available to you to begin that class. If you are interested in starting a craft class, come see Kelly and myself and we’ll be happy to give you a tour of all the supplies and equipment available for your use. Or, maybe you don’t need supplies but would love to start a book club, or a painting club, or, or, or the possibilities are endless & fun.
We hope you have a happy & fun 4th of July, remembering the sacrifices others before us have made for our liberty . Blessings to you all! Nancy & Scott

Good day. As always, I hope that everyone is doing great and staying healthy. Summer is here so I know you have all been working hard exercising so you can be swimsuit ready for the pool and you can show off those bodies!
The pool is a great and comfortable way to get some sun and tan that skin and help us stay in shape. Please come out and join us at the pool, most of us swimmers here at Hacienda tend to come out when it’s hotter in the afternoon and all the younger visitors are out of the pool by 1pm.
(Remember that 10am-1pm) your younger guests are allowed to use the pool (just as long as you are with them, of course).
I want to give a big shoutout to Millennium, Haven Management and SPARC for everything that they do to support our wonderful community in so many ways. Occasionally, I will hear a negative comment towards them, but I have found them to be a blessing to all of us. With their support, we have been able to do so many things for most of our residents (those that choose to participate). Monthly contributions from Millennium helps with events that we put on for residents. Haven Management and our wish list and so much more, SPARC with their informative health agenda, programs that we as Seniors need to know. I am very happy that Kelly and I found this wonderful place to call home. The current Social Committee has a little less than half a year left. I have been asking if anyone is willing to carry the torch of running the Social Club next year….sadly no one has shown interest….so our search continues.
If there is one reason why happiness should be a part of your life, It’s because you deserve it.
You have shown true strength by Continuing to battle through each day without giving up. Stay strong, because those days of you being happy again Are coming soon.
