Did You Know?

In 1971 Congress declared August 26th Women’s Equality Day to commemorate the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution on August 26, 1920. The 19th Amendment granted women the right to vote.

Millennium Memo As I’m typing this (on July 13), less than half of you have returned your Income Certs, not a very good start.

As I never tire of mentioning, your Income Certs generate the funds to make all the improvements I bragged about last month happen. You do want to have nicer streets, don’t you?

Your Certs also allow Rancho Feliz to keep its non-profit status, as we have to prove to the County every year that Rancho Feliz remains an affordable housing Community. You really don’t want to lose those protections.

You know the routine, you’ll have to do this eventually…if you haven’t returned your Income Cert yet, re-read my note about Rancho Feliz remaining a non-profit-owned community and turn in your Cert now.

More News •

The SPARC Back-to-School event, featuring Museum on the Go, happened on July 17, after the deadline for this Memo. I’ll have a report for you next month. We also hope to announce the 2026 SPARC Scholarship winners. Stay tuned!

•

This month’s Kudo goes to Luis Gonzales, for volunteering to distribute the Magazines. That’s a big job, so we appreciate your help, Luis.

That’s also a great way to get your steps in.

•

It’s a small thing, but we ask that you bring in your trash bins on Monday no later than 6 PM, to make it easier for your neighbors to drive 2

Millennium Memo continued...

Rancho Feliz’s busy streets. You can do that, can’t you?

OK, that’s the end of my trash talking.

•

Recent resident complaint: “vehicle noise from residents coming, going and parking with radios blasting.” Apparently, not everyone shares your taste in music. Maybe you could turn down your radio until you’re outside the Park?

•

On a positive note…we want to thank you for the good job so many of you are doing to keep your yards clean this Summer. Doesn’t it look better without all the clutter?

Please return your Income Cert and help keep Rancho Feliz a non-profit Park…and enjoy the rest of your Summer.

Manager’s Corner Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August, With that being said here are a couple reminders from our team:

Common areas - To all residents we would like to remind you that common areas are used by all residents of the park. This being said please pick up after yourselves, it is unfair to our residents and our staff to be seeing trash in our community.

Dogs barking- We understand that a dog's way of communicating is through barking. We would like to remind residents that dogs should not be barking excessively. If this becomes a problem the park will have no choice but to terminate the right to keep a pet in the Park.

Parking - Please make sure that you are using your carport to the fullest extent. We have more than 400 cars in this park. It is unfortunate when residents take parking spots while leaving their carport empty.

Newsletters – There is a lot of useful information in the monthly newsletters. This is where we post any upcoming projects, events, warnings etc.

Recology Bins – Recology bins should not be placed in the front of your home. Bins should be towards the rear of the home. Bins should be put away the same day it's been picked up, no later than 6pm.

I missed the deadline. Do I still need to complete the form? YES!!!

COMPLETION OF THE INCOME FORM ANNUALLY IS MANDATORY FOR ALL RESIDENTS .

I Can’t Find My Income Form!!

Don’t worry—if you have misplaced or lost you income form a replacement form is easy to get.

1. The Park Office has extra forms.

Your community was financed with tax-exempt bonds and other governmental assistance. In return for this assistance, Millennium Housing agreed to restrictions on rent increases, use of the park’s income and other matters. We are required to recertify the income of all households each year to insure we are still meeting our bond requirements.

Summaries and analysis of income certifications are compiled and used to qualify for property tax exemptions each year, and improvements to your community are made possible by the savings we receive in property taxes.

2. Use the form on the following page.

Please do your part and return this important document today!!

3. Replacement Forms can be printed from Millennium Housing’s website. www.millenniumhousing.net

Income Forms can be brought to the Park Office or mailed to Millennium Housing directly.

STAY COOL

Visit a Cooling Center To Beat The Heat A Cooling Center provides a place for you and your family to go to cool down during hot summer days.

Visit a Cooling Center If you need to cool off, most cities offer cooling centers where you can beat the heat. These cooling centers are in City facilities where you can enjoy recreation programming or a good book while you cool off. Cooling centers are open and available during regular hours of operation unless otherwise

noted. You can call 2-1-1 from your phone or go online at www.211.org to find a list of cooling center locations and hours of operation in your area.

Summer months bring fun, sun, and heat! Sometimes, the heat can become dangerous, especially for children, pets, people who work outside, and people with certain health conditions. Staying safe in high heat is important. Follow these simple tips to stay cool: •

Drink plenty of cool water! Stay hydrated.

•

Wear loose, light-colored clothing that will keep you cool. Wear sunscreen and a hat for protection.

•

Check on neighbors who might be vulnerable to the heat, especially those without air conditioning.

•

Never leave children or pets in a car - not even for one minute. Temperatures inside a car can quickly skyrocket to deadly levels.

•

If you work or play outside, take frequent breaks to hydrate and cool off in the shade.

Symptoms of heat-related illness include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, and increased thirst. If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention.

Ingredients: 4 cups sliced peaches 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup cold butter

Did you know these fun facts about peaches?  Peaches Continue Ripening After Picking Unlike some fruits, peaches keep ripening after they're harvested.

Leaving them on the counter for a few days can make them sweeter and juicier.

 Not All Peaches Are Fuzzy

Nectarines are actually peaches!

The only real difference is a natural genetic mutation that gives nectarines smooth skin instead of fuzzy skin.

 California Is America's Peach

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup rolled oats

Directions: 1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 350°F 2. Arrange sliced peaches evenly in an 8x8-inch baking dish.

3. Mix flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and salt I a bowl using a pastry cutter until crumbly.

4. Fold oats into flour mixture.

Leader While Georgia is famous as the "Peach State," California produces more peaches than any other U.S. state, growing the majority of the nation's fresh peaches.

5. Sprinkle mixture evenly over peaches, pressing down lightly.

 A Peach Tree Can Be Productive

7. Top with ice cream or whipped topping and ENJOY!!

6. Bake in preheated oven until crispy and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

for Years A healthy peach tree can produce fruit for 10 to 15 years, with some trees yielding hundreds of peaches in a single season.

 Peaches Float in Water

Because they contain a lot of air pockets and water, many peaches will float when placed in a bowl of water.
