Rancho Feliz August 2025
The Budget is final now, and includes most of the things I bragged about last month.
We’re going to spend more than $800K this year $670K just on Streets & Driveways. Other items include removing the old Electric Pedestals ($50K), Pool Furniture ($15K!), the Entrance Sign ($15), Clubhouse Tables & Chairs (6K), a new Fire Hydrant ($8K)
All this would not be possible without the funds generated by your Income Certs. As I’m typing this (on July 7), all but 20 of you have returned your Certs, for which we thank you. If you’re among the Tardy Twenty, please drop your Cert off at the Office now.
• Recent resident complaint: pets being left unattended. You know that’s not fair to your pets, don’t you, especially during this warm weather? Please keep your dogs inside or on a leash and keep tabs on your tabby.
Did You Know?
Eight U.S. Presidents are confirmed to have been lefthanded, including recent leaders like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush. Interestingly, from 1981 to 2009, five out of six Presidents were left-handed! .
• One more nag, this one regarding residents who prop open the back RV Gate, allowing outsiders to enter the Park. Please don’t do that!
• The July SPARC Back-to-School Event took place after the deadline for this Memo, but I’ll have a report for you next month. We’re also hoping that a couple more Rancho Feliz students earned 2025 SPARC/Millennium College Scholarships.
Rancho Feliz had 4 SPARC Scholars last year. It will be hard to duplicate that success, but Stay Tuned!
Have You Met Jose Yet?
Jose Rodriguez took over as Maintenance Manager on April 8. I’ve been remiss in not introducing him sooner.
Jose is a Sonoma County local, married with a 4-year-old daughter, and has extensive general construction and maintenance experience. He “enjoys giving back to the community by hosting events all around Sonoma County.”
Welcome to the Millennium Family, Jose!
Speaking of Street Work…
A man walked into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm. “I’ll have a beer,” he said, “and one for the road.”
Enjoy the new streets, and thanks again for returning your Income Certs.

Summer is winding down, and we hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful weather!
Lot Inspections- Lot inspections have been concluded, and we ask all residents to complete all of their required tasks. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Let’s all work together to have a beautiful community, and that starts with keeping up with your own spaces.
Pool- Our pool is a great amenity to our residents, please ensure all rules are followed. All guests attending the pool must be accompanied by a resident. There is absolutely no food, drinks and ALCOHOL allowed.
Speeding- When driving around in our community, please ensure that you are driving the speed limit and stopping at our STOP signs. We have a very busy community with cars and foot traffic constantly moving around. Let’s ensure we are cautious and vigilant to our surroundings and our people.
Commercial Vehicles- Commercial vehicles are not allowed to be parked on the street, please ensure you are only parking commercial vehicles in your driveway. As everyone knows, we have an excessive number of vehicles for the capacity of this community. Bringing in utility vehicles along with your own personal vehicles takes away from others being able to park within our community.
Lot Improvements- Management has observed residents commencing renovations around their home without notifying the office. This is a friendly reminder that any renovation needs prior management approval and possibly a permit through Housing Community Development. A popular renovation is painting the exterior of your home. Any repainting of your home has to be requested through the office and management needs to approve the color of your paint.
Streets- The time has come to have our streets redone. The paving company will be onsite from August 18th -24th. We ask all residents for complete cooperation. During this time, there will be several utility vehicles onsite maneuvering around the community. We hope everyone enjoys the new transformation.
Thank you!

1. Broad-Spectrum
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that will protect your skin from ultraviolet A (UVA) rays, which cause premature aging of the skin, and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which cause sunburn and skin cancer.
2. Ingredients
There are two types of sunscreens mineral and chemical. Each filters UV rays differently. Mineral sunscreens, made of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, sit on top of the skin and create a barrier of protection by deflecting the sun’s UV rays. Since they don’t absorb into the skin, they can look and feel a little filmy. Chemical sunscreens contain active ingredients that penetrate the skin and use various FDA-approved sun-filtering compounds that absorb UV rays, preventing them from penetrating the surface of the skin.
3. Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
Look for a product with an SPF of 30 or higher. The numeric rating refers to how well a sunscreen protects you from sunburn. Anything over 50 isn’t necessary.
4. Water Resistance
The FDA has banned manufacturers from claiming a sunscreen is waterproof, but make sure your choice is water-resistant. Products that are water-resistant from sweat and swimming will remain effective for up to 80 minutes. This means you need to reapply every two hours if you’re sweating, swimming, or have prolonged sun exposure.
5. Types
Sunscreens come in many forms: lotions, sticks, gels, and sprays. In general, lathering on a lotion provides the most thorough and trustworthy coverage. Aerosols blow into the air when applying them, which can leave spotty coverage. Sticks and gels can get messy and even melt in extreme heat.
A Cooling Center provides a place for you and your family to go to cool down during hot summer days.
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.
1. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip cream until stiff peaks occur, be careful not to over whip. The cream will be done when you pull the beaters out and the cream stands at attention.
2. In another large bowl, whisk the vanilla and salt into the sweetened condensed milk. Gently fold in the whipped cream with a spatula, slowly incorporating the two mixtures together so it stays light and aerated.
3. If making individual flavors, scoop the cream mixture into smaller bowls and gently fold in your desired mix-ins, or if making just one flavor, mix the ingredients directly into the full batch of cream mixture.
4. Transfer the mixture to an insulated tub, paper containers or a loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap or a lid.
5. Freeze 4– 6 hours.

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.

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

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!"
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!"
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?"
