I forgot to mention that our last 4 holdouts have turned in their Income Certs, and Castle is now at 100%. Great job, everyone. All of you get this month’s Kudos.

Unkudos to Castle folks who let their cats roam the Park, leave their

poop in neighbors’ yards and generally act like cats. Cat poop may not be Castle residents’ biggest complaint, but it’s a solid #2. •
Castle recently had an incident that brought 3 emergency vehicles to the Park. The resident is OK, but you can imagine how crowded the street was with all those big vehicles. Do you see why we constantly remind you not to park on the street? Castle’s streets are Fire Lanes. Wouldn’t you feel bad if your car blocked access, and a neighbor suffered because of it?
Starting a New Tradition Some people over-indulge on leftovers after Thanksgiving. Not me, however. This year I’m going to quit cold turkey. Thank you for your Income Certs, thanks again for your patience…and have a great Thanksgiving!

Manager’s Corner El Nino Awareness On September 21, 2026, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a statewide state of emergency in response to the developing 2026– 2027 El Niño event and the potential for severe storms. It's been referred to as "Super" El Nino. In anticipation of this, keeping gutters clean and repairing or replacing damaged carport awning supports is essential. Keeping all accessory structures well maintained is in compliance with our park rules. Additionally, in anticipation of the weather to come, sound awning supports will prevent the safety hazard of the awning flipping and causing damage not just to your home but likely a neighbor’s home or car as well. This is not far-fetched. It happened here in Castle about 5 years ago! An awning ripped off and landed on the next-door neighbor's vehicle causing severe damage. Cats and Excrement As a reminder, pet excrement not picked up and roaming pets such as cats are both a park rule violation as well as California Code Title 25 violation. Please pick up after your pets and keep dogs leashed and do not let cats roam. If you know of any residents who do not pick up after their pets or who let their cat or dog roam, please reach out to me. You will be kept anonymous. Truly, Rebecca Mendez
