Leisure Park

Lifestyle

“Our Leisure Park HOA and Housing Community 2007 is now a 501c3 nonprofit organization. We control the park's expenditures and will use rent dollars to make capital improvements. We approved Millennium Housing as an investor…and Haven Management to manage our Park.”

That’s from a Leisure Park Yelp review. It’s also inaccurate. Residents can provide input, but Leisure is owned and operated by Millennium Housing.

As part of Leisure’s conversion to non-profit ownership, Millennium entered into an Agreement with the prior HOA entity. In that Agreement, it’s clear that Millennium is the owner, controls expenditures and selects the management company.

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.

The HOA provides “input…into how their community is operated, including the establishment of rules, budget matters and capital improvement priorities. Millennium will use its best efforts to implement reasonable recommendations of the HOA Board.”

The HOA entity that was party to that Agreement no longer exists, but we’ve been following the provisions anyway, and we are happy to “implement reasonable recommendations” when we get them.

I guess you could say residents “approved” Millennium’s purchase in 2007, but did they have a choice? Leisure was in some ugly litigation that would have devastated residents, imposed a giant rent increase and potentially forced many from

their homes.

It would be more correct to say that the City approved Millennium, and residents followed the City’s lead. Residents voted themselves a rent increase in return for longterm rent protections, an end to the litigation and renewed peace in the Park.

Leisure homeowners dodged a bullet back in 2007. We’ve tried our best to deliver on the promise of the 2007 Agreement. The HOA has been dissolved, but we continue to appreciate any input Leisure leaders have for improving your Community.

However, to be clear, Millennium Housing continues to own Leisure Park. Nothing has changed in that regard.

SPARC in Leisure Park

Last month, 16 of you participated in a Painting Class sponsored by SPARC, our resident services partner and featuring Clusterfunk Art Studio (yes, that’s their name).

The Artistic 16 enjoyed music from a DJ, guided art instruction and a FREE dinner (Chipotle!). Thanks to Ally & the folks at SPARC for bringing this program to Leisure.

Touching 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?

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?”

Summer's finally here! Can you believe it? School is out and the kids are on break! That should mean less traffic in the mornings, which is a win for those of us heading to work. But let’s not forget some of us are still dropping off little ones at daycare, so let’s keep that in mind. We all want to get where we're going safely!

The pool's been open for a month now how's it been going for everyone? Feels like it’s been good, right? Let’s keep the momentum going! Just remember to stick to the rules: keep the furniture where it is, no diving, no food or drinks, and make sure to keep an eye on your kids and guests. When we all pitch in, it helps keep the pool in great shape for everyone to enjoy without any need to close it down.

I wanted to remind everyone that yard inspections will take place from June 10th to 12th. I previously shared this information in a notice on May 5th. My goal is to see some positive improvements, and I understand that inspections can sometimes be a bit stressful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help and would be happy to sit down with you to create a plan for success together!

Father’s Day is approaching! We take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate all the incredible fathers, father figures, and mentors who play a vital role in our lives and communities. Whether through guidance, support, or love, fathers help shape who we are and inspire us to be our best selves. We encourage everyone to take a moment to show appreciation for fathers and role models in their lives. I’m lucky to have a supportive and remarkable dad. He’s honestly the best. He knows exactly what to say, even if it’s not what I want to hear, and he doesn’t say a whole lot. Out of all my tattoos, the one that means the most to me is his signature, “love dad.” It’s his handwriting, his name… “dad” – it just carries so much weight for me. I was super lucky to have my grandpa Phil, who raised me. I called him Branpa, and he taught me 40 years’ worth of life lessons. Our thing is I’d say I love you and he would say I love you most, and I would say I love you mostest, he’d say no, you don’t, I love you mostest, and we’d laugh. It's such a great memory I have. He passed away in November 2021, but I'm thankful I got to spend most of my life with him. We made many great memories together. With that being said, I wish all the dads and fathers, father figures, role models, a joyful, restful, and memorable Father’s Day.

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."
