SGMOA President's Message
Teresa Franklin
“Many hands make light work” - John Heywood
Did you know the Sequoia Gardens Mobilehome Owners Association ( SGMOA), otherwise known as the HOA, is a bona fide nonprofit registered in the state of California and has a constitution and bylaws ? The SGMOA constitution’s stated purpose is as follows:
a) To support the affordability of Sequoia Gardens Mobilehome Park spaces for all residents.
b) To promote and ensure safe and pleasant living conditions and to protect our vested property interest.
c) To promote understanding and communication between management/ownership and the residents, to mediate disputes, and to ensure courteous, equitable and respectful treatment [by management/ownership]
My time on the SGMOA board has given me the opportunity to learn Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) then advocate on behalf of our community when decisions from management/ownership affect our lifestyle quality and living conditions. I’ve joined with our board volunteers in hosting social and learning events. Together we’ve challenged actions that adversely impact the living conditions and common needs of our community. We’ve laughed, had serious discussions, agreed and disagreed, strategized, held monthly meetings and open forums to receive additional input. But, perhaps the most gratifying of all is getting to know my fellow board members while in service to our park’s residents. I’ve developed a bond of friendship through our shared work together. Collaboration makes the heart grow fonder.
The SGMOA is comprised of neighbors who volunteer to serve, get elected, commit to a two year term and agree to practice fidelity to our bylaws while in service to the community.
Another bonus to serving on the board is becoming acquainted with Sequoia Gardens neighbors. It never ceases to amaze me how interesting and talented our residents are. We have a treasure trove of knowledge and experience residing in our park. So many of you are ideal candidates to serve on the board! Please consider joining the board this fall when our elections will occur.
The time commitment is generally less than 10 hours a month. Accounting, administrative, secretarial, technology, leadership, coordination, communication, planning, confidentiality, advocating, organizing, listening and sharing ideas are helpful skill sets . However, a willingness to serve and contribute your time and labor are the only essential requirements. Watch the Quail Call for updates in September.
“ Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth” - Muhammad Ali

Neighbor News By Jackie McCuan
Meet Our Neighbor, Sally Cates
Sally moved into Space 91 a year ago, relocating from Yuba City, Ca. She grew up in San Diego, blocks from San Diego Bay, where she played on the beach and sailed the family’s 12’ sailboat within the yacht harbor. She grew up with 2 sisters and a brother. Her father, a physicist, created a business wherein he developed underwater detection cabling systems used by the Navy. This business is now run by her brother.
Sally graduated from the University of California, Davis, majoring in agriculture and business. She put her skills into action during her marriages and parenting of her daughter Shari. Sally purchased a gift shop (ask her about her connection to Santa Rosa’s ReilyStreet Art Supply), and made and sold jewelry at the San Francisco Embarcadero. She went on to work in the area of creating outdoor access for the disabled, developing fund raising activities and work party programs. Her work culminated in the development of a 5-mile outdoor trail for the disabled along Highway 49.
Sally’s reason for moving to Sequoia Gardens was to be near her disabled daughter, Shari, who, before she recently passed away, lived within a few blocks. Sally accomplished her visits to see Shari using her battery-powered wheelchair, which she still uses for trips to the market.
While vertigo restricts some activities, Sally has managed to develop a beautiful garden on her property, utilizing pots and planting boxes. She welcomes her Sequoia Garden friends and neighbors to stop on the path and enjoy the colors and beauty of her flowers and produce.
Sally: Welcome to the neighborhood!

QUOTES
A salary is the drug they give you to forget your dreams.
Kevin O'Leary
I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich."
Jim Carrey
When we forget to use visualization and imagination, it is like not using our minds.
Jose Silva
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."

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!"
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?"
