Here we already into Fall and the beau ful colors of nature are out. The Holidays will soon be here and another year has past.
Residents some me ask “Why have an HOA?” The HOA plans ac vi es for our residents almost monthly. The HOA is now providing the Holiday dinners that the owners no longer sponsor. These ac vi es are here in the Clubhouse which is close to all of us.
The HOA, in the past, has worked with our mangers to install the sound proofing material in the Clubhouse and purchased a table used for our ac vi es.
Part of the HOA is a legal fund for residents to use on ma ers affec ng the whole Park. The HOA tries to contact new residents and welcome them. This has become more difficult due to privacy issues, however, if you have a new neighbor, let someone on the Board Know. The Welcome Coordinator will be no fied and make contact, if appropriate.
Remember to check your to-go-bag and that you have alert turn on. Enjoy all the colors in nature.
Barbara
Richards, HOA President
Hello Fellow Residents,
I want to thank all of you for your donations to our Annual August Fundraising Month. At "Press Time," your generous contributions totaled exactly $2,000. So, once again, you have made it possible for the HOA to continue providing more of the wonderful Social Events we all enjoy.
Thanks so much and hope to see you soon!!
Gwen Adkins Fundraising Chair
This month marks the beginning of my final year as editor of The Friendly Connection. Microsoft is discontinuing MS Publisher in October 2026. This is the software I’ve used to combine Word docs and graphics to create the newsletter. I will have produced 75 monthly issues from July 2020 to October 2026.
It has been a great creative outlet for me, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed writing and borrowing free clip art from Bing Images. My goal has been to keep the residents of Rincon Valley Manufactured Estates informed and entertained. I hope someone else will take over next October.
Here are a few key points about publishing The Friendly Connection. Once I finish designing all the pages with MS Publisher, I save the document as a PDF. Then, by the 15th of the month, I send the PDF file as an email attachment to MHB Group, which has been publishing community magazines since 1974. They do not charge us for printing. That’s right—it is FREE, though we make a single annual donation between $100-$250. They print in color, fold, staple, and ship us 250 copies (for our 230 homes) each month.
The publisher designs the front and back covers and includes the games, puzzles, and advertising at the back. If I don’t take up all 20 allowable pages, they sometimes include interesting articles at the back. Only the numbered pages are my work.
Once UPS delivers the box of newsletters to me, which weighs approximately thirty-five pounds, I prepare them for distribution. The park is divided into eight routes, each with about 30 homes. I count the exact number of copies needed for each route and put them in sturdy white bags with handles (from Amazon). I email the distribution team in advance to let them know what day I’ll drop off the bags. These wonderful, reliable volunteers walk the park so that each home receives their copy by the last day of the month (unless occasionally when the publisher is late). There are about 20 copies left over that I leave in the clubhouse each month for park visitors to learn about RVME.
Anyone who enjoys writing, editing, and informing can produce The Friendly Connection with any software that can be saved as a PDF. There are many kinds of newsletter software. It doesn’t have to look like it has in the past. Let’s give our newsletter an updated look with a new editor. I hope someone will step up so that RVME will continue to receive The Friendly Connection after October 2026.
If you are even slightly interested and would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
From the profundity file:
Never be a prisoner of your past. It was just a lesson, not a life sentence.

SOCIAL EVENTS REPORT
By Gail Lake
The Hot August Nights Fundraising and Silent Auc on event, held on August 14th, was a success. Our auc on items added $1,065.00 to our HOA bank account. We also received generous dona ons of $485.00 in the dona on box. That's a total of $1,550.00 for this one-night event!!!
A great big thank you to all the many people who donated items to bid on, and a bigger thank you to people who opened their wallets wide to bid.
A lot went into making this day a success. We started the day moving furniture and se ng up tables. Then, all the auc on items needed to be moved from my house to the clubhouse. Each item required a bid sheet with a descrip on and a reasonable minimum bid. Then the event. Despite a major Safeway screw up, we put together a deligh ul table full of many tasty items. The “check out" process to collect the money bid on the items was quick and smooth. And then there was clean-up.
With all this work to do, I put out an email call for help from our residents and was not disappointed. It's just another example of what a great community we live in. I wish I could name every person who helped, but the number of folks who helped, newsle er space, and my memory won't allow it (I was sure I would remember everyone – HA!). So please accept my sincerest:
THANK YOU!!!
I need to specifically acknowledge members of the Social Commi ee who were there from the beginning to the end. Thank you Barbara Page, Dona Mitchell, Gale Grubb, Marie Borell, Martha McDonald, and Millie Plagge. Jacqua Miller and Sherri Loyd couldn't help because they were cruising in Alaska (a terrible excuse). S ll, I'm sure they were there in spirit.
Don't forget our Halloween Party and Costume Contest on October 23rd and the Pie Palooza event on November 13th. All the info can be found on the flyers in this newsle er.
Thank you for your help and support, Gail Lake

Happy October! As the leaves change and crispness se les in the air, I wanted to wish a very happy birthday to all our October babies. It's a fascina ng month, brimming with history, tradi on, and vibrant symbolism.
Did you know October is sta s cally the most common birth month in the United States? This month's rich tapestry weaves together historical events like Columbus Day (October 13th) and Indigenous Peoples' Day, offering a moment for reflec on on different perspec ves of this significant period in American history. Of course, no di scussion of October would be complete without men oning Halloween!
The origins of Halloween are deeply rooted in ancient Cel c tradi ons, a me of year marking the transi on between seasons. Today, we celebrate with the familiar American tradi ons: carving pumpkins, the joyous cries of "Trick-or-treat," and the exci ng an cipa on of a bag full of candy! This year, our clubhouse will be hos ng a Halloween party, and I'm already looking forward to seeing everyone's crea ve costumes in the contest. Have you chosen yours yet?
Beyond the fes vi es, October’s astrological influences are equally intriguing. Libras, born between September 23rd and October 22nd, are known for their balance and harmony, while Scorpios born between October 23rd and November 21st, bring a fiery passion and transforma ve energy to the month. October’s gemstone, the opal, with its mesmerizing play of colors, symbolizes hope, magic, and transforma ve energy; while the Marigold, October’s flower, embodies good fortune and warmth.
October's legacy extends to remarkable individuals who have shaped our world, including the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, and Pablo Picasso – a testament to the month's diverse influences. The month's associa on with the supernatural, o en expressed through haunted a rac ons and ghost tours, adds another cap va ng layer to its mys que.
So, let's embrace the magic, the history, and the fun that October offers! May it be a month filled with possibili es, overcoming challenges, and achieving resounding success.
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

The Lighter Side
Leather
When a woman wears leather clothing, a man's heart beats faster. His throat gets dry. He gets weak in the knees and begins to think irrationally.
Ever wonder why?
She smells like a new truck!
Old man
He was eating lunch at a truck stop when three bikers walked in. The first pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, then took a seat at the counter.
The second spit in the old man's milk, then took a seat at the counter. The third turned his plate over and then took a seat at the counter.
The old man left without a word. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man is he?"
The waitress replied: "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."
What to do
An elderly couple just bought cellphones and learned how to text. She was the romantic type and one afternoon sent him this message.
"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.
If you are laughing, send me your smile.
If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you."
The husband texted back to her: "I'm in the bathroom. Please advise."
