President’s Corner
by Patrick Mahoney
Ah, summer – said to be the warmest of the four seasons, but this summer has been downright HOT! But even in the heat of the day, it’s been wonderful to spend time with family, cooling off with dips in the pool and enjoying the long days. And with the days growing longer, you’ll likely want to embrace the endless summer sun both inside and outside your home. Lucky for you, we have the best surroundings to enjoy it all in our Peralta Hills area. From the rural feel of our streets to the plush and unique estates that line them, we have it all right here. According to the latest trends, our real estate values are rising. It’s a great time to live in Anaheim. Jolynn and I would like to welcome our longtime friends, Bill and Cathy Manos, to the neighborhood. We have known the Manos family for years and are delighted they found a little piece of heaven on Peralta Hills Drive to settle into. On Independence Day, we were so honored to represent our Peralta Hills neighborhood in the 4th of July Parade. The fireworks were truly spectacular! Speaking of spectacular – mark your calendar for the next PHEIA Gala - September 14th! I can’t wait to see the lovely home of James and Jael Tanti transformed into a Saturday Night Fever dance hall with a disco theme! I challenge every one of you to a shimmy off with the “Ace” Band. The evening starts at 6pm with lots of fun, food, and some pretty fancy getups! We are certain to have some wonderful auction items again this year as well. Jolynn and I will be offering up a trip with us to New York – we hope you will consider putting something together to donate as well. I look forward to seeing you all around the neighborhood! All the best, Patrick
