Next HOA Meeting October 16th

Board members are a phone call away!

Anyone interested in serving on the Board thru December 2026, let one of us know!

DK homeowners found out after the fact that another DK amenity that we all pay for with our exorbitant rents was unexpectedly closed!

No advance notification of the Dog Park closure...the office certainly could have used its One-Call/email system for such vital notice!

The only explanation was a vague comment about “renovations”, more accurately should have been “ruination” ~ they’ve cut down the shade trees and now it’s neat/clean (sterile) but not pretty or comfortable or inviting 

When homeowners aren’t able to use and/or enjoy the amenities (happens often lately) it tends to cause frustration and justified anger.

Why all the secrecy? Lots of happenings in our community are “behind-our-backs”…

The Board questioned a “new policy” in a One-call/email that fireworks are “strictly prohibited” in Diamond K and closed…no an article in unexpectedly the billing envelope that “fireworks are illegal in Roseville”.

There is no policy in our Regulations and Guidelines that prohibits legal fireworks (could be restricted to paved areas) and Roseville’s Municipal Code allows the sale/use of Safe and Sane as well as its public display; the CA Fire Code on the billing insert is for enforcement of all “illegal” fireworks!

When asked, management admitted there was no policy but not allowing fireworks in DK is due to the recent brush fire by the dog park and fireseason risk…then why not say just that?! Why make up false reasons?!

Yet another mystery!

Legislature’s summer break,,,updates in September’s Kronicle on 2025 Mobilehome Bills GSMOL is sponsoring/supporting: ▪ AB 925 – Emergency Preparedness Plan – HCD to standardize by 2027 ▪ AB 635 – 5-yr ‘test’…CA Atty General can review up to 25/year Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP) complaints alleging violations of CA Civil Code ▪ AB 456 – MH Sales (required repairs) ▪ AB 806 – Cooling systems (window units/swamp-type)

President’s Message—August 2025 The June social was a big success. The food was was a hit and the band “Crystal Image” was great. We look forward to having them perform at our August social.

We were very fortunate with the weather for our 4th of July festivities. We had 13 golf carts in the parade and a good turnout for the potluck. The big tent was great for keeping everyone out of the sun. Who knew that Gina Martinez was a whiz at Corn Hole? The horseshoe pit also saw action. Special thanks to Nancy Buck, Jorje Luna, Alan Saroberry and the DKRC Board for setting up and taking down all the tables and chairs.

We have need of a chairperson for the Tuesday/Friday/First Saturday Texas Hold’em group. Please contact me if you are interested. Big thanks goes out to Bruce Howse for doing a great job as chairperson.

We are close to offering Tai Chi to our community. There has been a good response from interested individuals. We will be contacting those who have expressed interest as soon as we solidify an instructor and the time and place. Not sure we will have all the answers before the Kronicle goes to press.

Have a safe and playful summer.

Respectfully, Karen Chaney, DKRC President

The Lighter Side

Careful

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband.

Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter!

Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter.

Oh my gosh! They're going to STICK! Careful. I said CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt!"

You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Mahatma Gandhi The start is what stops most people.

Don Shula I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.

Harrison Ford Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong, these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.

Winston Churchill The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph."

Author Unknown The pessimist worries about the wind; the optimist thinks it will change; the realist adjusts the sails.

William Arthur Ward Progress equals happiness.

Tony Robbins

The wife stared at him. "What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?"

The husband calmly replied, "I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving!"

GI Insurance Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center to sell recruits GI insurance benefits.

Captain Smith noticed that Jones had a 100% record for insurance sales. It had never happened before.

The Captain then sat in the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch. Jones explained the basics of the insurance.

"If you have GI Insurance and get killed in battle, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and get killed in battle, the government only has to pay $6,000. Now, who do you think they send into battle first?"
