Men of the Desert “Dudes, Dogs, and Fashion”

Animal Samaritans held its 13th annual Men of the Desert fundraiser on December 4th at the Palm Springs Air Museum. This was a Dudes, Dogs, and Designer fashions event to support the Animal Samaritans Animal Rescue Program. Cochairs were Patrick Mundt and Lori Serfling. CEO Tom Snyder spoke about the monies raised for a new facility that will house, shelter, and care for animals. They showed a photo of what the new building would look like and what programs it will adopt. Over 7 million has already been raised, with more needed.

Around 500 people came to watch local men strut a

100-foot runway with dogs of various sizes. Susan Stein produced the fashion part of the show. Men were dressed in clothing from retro to current styles. Each man walked the runway with a dog. Patrick Mundt walked with a rescue dog that had only three legs. Stein mentioned that the first bomber Jacket was made in 1917 to keep the pilots warm. Top Gun apparel was worn on the runway, shown, and sold during the luncheon.

A Video was shown about happy people who had rescued a dog or dogs and cats. So glad they did that and said it was the best decision they had made. For 44 years,

A Trio of Terrific Titles On Tap

With the holiday season in full swing, a deluxe reissue of Neil Young’s most beloved classic and a box set from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are perfect gift ideas for the favorite music lover in your life. I am also recommending one of the finest studio releases of 2017 (Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie) in honor of Christine McVie; the legendary singersongwriter of Fleetwood Mac fame passed away on Nov. 30.

Artist: Neil Young Title: Harvest — 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set (Reprise) You might like if you enjoy: Neil Young, Nils Lofgren, Band of Horses, David Crosby

Tell me more: Neil Young’s February 1972 release Harvest remains a powerful and timeless masterpiece. Indeed, Young’s third solo

album’s outstanding track listing extends from the worldwide hit single “Heart of Gold,” bona fide symphonic wonders “A Man Needs A Maid” and “There’s A World” to the country rocker “Alabama,” otherworldly “Needle & The Damage Done” and introspective masterpiece “Old Man.”

Now the album is the focus of a well-deserved reissue, Harvest — 50th Anniversary Edition Box Set. In addition to the remastered original album, the deluxe reissue — available on vinyl and audio CD — includes three outtakes from the original Harvest sessions (the countrified “Dance Dance Dance,” wistful “Journey Through The Past” and yearning “Bad Fog”), two DVDs and a hard bound book. The first DVD is “Harvest Time,” a revealing two-hour, unreleased film shot during the making of Harvest, and

includes footage at Young’s Broken Arrow ranch in Northern California, plus the recording sessions in Nashville and London. The second DVD is an unreleased BBC In Concert live performance from February 1971. The hard bound book that accompanies the box sets includes 40 photographs, many of which have never been published before, and liner notes by Joel Bernstein. The vinyl box comes with a lithograph and a poster; the audio CD format contains the poster. Information: NeilYoungArchives.com.

Artist: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Title: Live at the Fillmore, 1997 (Warner Records) You might like if you enjoy: Tom Petty

Tell me more: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers played 20 nights at the famed Fillmore in San Francisco in 1997.

Six of those concerts were professionally recorded and the newly-released Live at the Fillmore, 1997 features highlights from those shows captured 25 years ago. As the so-called “Fillmore House Band,” Petty and company were able to vary their setlist each night; as a result a mix of their beloved hits, deep album cuts and artful covers (including classics from Chuck Berry, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and more) are featured across Live at the Fillmore, 1997. The collection also features special performances with The Byrds’ front man Roger McGuinn and blues legend John Lee Hooker. The 4CD deluxe edition includes 58 tracks (35 of which are covers) totaling more than four hours of music. Also included in that edition is a 32-page booklet (with previously unseen photographs), three custom

guitar picks, a replica All Access laminate, and even an embroidered patch. Live at the Fillmore, 1997 is available as a 4CD box set, a 3LP box set and an expanded 6LP box set. Information: TomPetty.com.

Artist: Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie

Title: Buckingham McVie (Atlantic Records)

You might like if you enjoy: Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie

Tell me more: A breezy and sumptuous album that captures the magic of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, the first-ever collaboration between Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie was one of 2017’s biggest and most welcome surprises. Sadly, Buckingham McVie would also prove to be the final new studio album featuring McVie (who passed away at the age of 79 on Nov. 30, 2022). With 10 terrific songs performed with shimmering arrangements that showcase the affecting voices of Buckingham and McVie, the riches include the infectious “Feel About You,” lush “Red Sun,” power pop-mining “On With the Show” and piano-anchored ballad “Game of Pretend.”

A wonderful tribute to the artistry of both McVie and Buckingham. Information: buckinghammcvie.com.

Global Superstar Lani Misalucha to Perform at Morongo

By Desert Star Staff

Morongo Casino Resort & Spa –

Lani Misalucha, the world-renowned performer who rose to fame in the Philippines and became a Las Vegas icon, will bring her most popular renditions and hit songs to the Morongo Grand

Ballroom on Sunday, December 11. 2022.

Known for her ability to perform across multiple genres – including pop, rock, jazz, soul, and R&B. Misalucha has been referred to as “Asia’s Nightingale” for her incredible singing abilities. Show-stopping

stage presence and familiarity with America’s greatest hits that audiences love.

Misalucha rose to fame in the early 1990s following her first single, “More Than I Should,” and has since released 15 albums over the last three decades. Following

her 2004 album, “Loving You,” Misalucha moved to the U.S. with her family and became the first Asian woman to headline on the Las Vegas Strip.

Misalucha’s stint in Las Vegas flourished over the years. In 2011, she hosted the show “It’s Vegas with Lani,” which focused on the city’s abundant entertainment, dining, and tour offerings. Her success led former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman to name December 4 as Lani Misalucha Day – a rare feat for anyone to achieve.

“Lani is a delightful performer who’s also an incredible singer,” said Morongo’s Executive Director of Marketing, Simon Farmer. “Not only is she fun to watch, but she’s a master at singing the classic hits that we all know and love.”

Tickets are available from Ticketmaster for $59, $79, or $99. Tickets purchased for the previously scheduled

show on September 18 will be valid for entry on December 11. Doors open at 5 p.m. for the 6 p.m. show. The show is for all ages; minors must be accompanied by an adult.

The AAA-Four Diamond Morongo Casino Resort & Spa is located along the 10 Freeway near Palm Springs, Calif. Owned and operated by the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa offers the hottest slots and an array of table and high-limit gaming at one of the largest tribal gaming centers in the United States. The towering 27-story resort features six top-rated restaurants, a stunning swimming pool with private cabanas, a worldclass spa, legendary live entertainment, and, nearby, the 36-hole championship Morongo Golf Club at Tukwet Canyon.

The multi-genre singer and television personality will perform her most popular renditions at Morongo on December 11.

H.N. and Berger Foundation Grant Supports Shay’s Warriors

Palm Desert, Calif. – Shay’s Warriors will use a $25,000 Coachella Valley Spotlight grant to help fund its signature event, “I Am HOPE Survivors Reset Retreat.” The retreat introduces various healing techniques and a network of support for survivors to thrive in their life after cancer. The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, in partnership with News Channel 3, presented the grant.

“We know living life after cancer is tough,” said Shay Moraga, Founder, and President of Shay’s Warriors. “Our organization aims to inspire, inform, empower and help heal people and their families through health, fitness, and the mind-body connection.”

Moraga founded the

nonprofit in 2018 when she was told by her doctors that there was “no evidence of disease.” While celebrating the good news of remission, she also needed support to work through long-term mental, emotional and psychological changes where cancer had left its long-term mark. Moraga soon discovered she was not alone in facing struggles during survivorship, and she set her mind on doing something meaningful to help others carry on after cancer.

“Shay and her other ‘warriors’ are working to fill a need for people after they have won a battle with cancer,” said Catharine Reed, Vice President of Charitable Programs for the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. By partnering with

medical and wellness industry professionals, Shay’s Warriors will host its 2nd annual 4-day, a 3-night retreat for survivors June 8-11, 2023. Because of the Coachella Valley Spotlight grant and other generous support, the nonprofit plans to offer 40 scholarships to cancer survivors and thrivers to attend the retreat. Nominations for attendance are now open at https://www.shayswarriors. org/i-am-hope. Additionally, Shay’s Warriors organizes and hosts several educational and networking events – both inperson and virtually throughout the year. Blogs, podcasts, and a 24/7 online resource support group keep more than 5500 actively growing survivors and their families connected and caring for one another.

“Shay’s Warriors provides

survivors with connections, resources and tools for healing as they navigate life after cancer,” said Jerry Upham, General Manager of Gulf California Broadcast Company, which owns and operates KESQ News Channel 3 and KPSP CBS Local 2.

Through the Coachella Valley Spotlight partnership with the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation and News Channel 3, Shay’s Warriors was featured on News Channel 3 programming, in public service announcements, and on kesq.com throughout the month of November.

Relationship interactions will call you to tell the truth, to ask for what you want and need, to reflect and figure out what you’re willing to give in return. Allowing nothing to happen, not providing information, not exploring and explaining desires and aspirations in relationships keep everyone in the dark. And you are unhappy. Goodwill and right relations means clear and transparent communication. Communication creates love. Nothing else matters.

TAURUS

It’s important to plan and create agendas and schedules that structure daily life. This creates a rhythm that is aligned with the stars. It’s important that a routine be established, priorities stated, goals set and details worked out so you can achieve greater efficiency. Allow nothing and no one to get in the way of creating what to you is essential discipline in order to prepare for the future. You actually are aware of what that future will be. So you plan accordingly.

Certain situations have occurred, placing you between two different realities which you need and are attempting to balance. At times this becomes more difficult and some days you become exhausted. What’s at stake are values and you’re needing to discover your own values, asking what’s most important. Home has become a place where changes must take place. You also need sleep, quiet, rest, comfort, solitude and warming teas.

For months now there have been hints, clues, hunches, feelings, notions and inklings of a new creative process emerging.

Perhaps it’s been difficult the past months for others to understand your hopes, wishes, needs. Perhaps it’s been a bit lonely and you’ve felt misjudged and misunderstood. Perhaps you longed for clarity and thought it would never appear. It has now and it’s just begun. You will no longer have to enter into silent retreats and solitude because of difficulties in communication. Discernment was the purpose for the last several months.

Since summer a tremendous responsibility has been placed upon you and due to this a new vision of self has begun to emerge. Your response and expertise in this situation has led to a new sense of self-esteem. You realize how much you care to give to others. This creates a balance between how you feel about yourself and who you are in the world. It has been important in the last years for your aspirations to manifest. Now that you have much of what you hoped for, who else will you begin to assist? And forgive?

That nebulous feeling of not knowing anything, even the time of day, the week, month and perhaps the year, is slowly dissolving and with it comes a sense of knowing what you want and need. One item to consider is your health which needs monitoring. For so long you’ve heard yourself saying “I don’t know, I don’t know.” But now you are knowing more.

But We Can’t Afford It!

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL

Homeownership entails dealing with occasional unanticipated expenses. Recently, I didn’t plan on a main water line breaking, but it happened. Days (and much money later), the problem was resolved. I didn’t want the expense, but it happened. I couldn’t say to the water company or my neighbors, “I’m sorry, I can’t stop this flooding right now, I can’t afford it.”

HOAs are a collection of interconnected homeowners, and major common area repair expenses affect them all. One of the many benefits of HOA living is that homeowners share costs of keeping up the HOA community, with economies of scale usually reducing the individual cost. The association’s duties are really nothing more than the individual homeowner has – they’re just shared.

I hear frequently from readers that the HOA needs replacement or repair of building components, but the HOA “can’t afford it this year.” However, nothing in the Davis-Stirling Act references financial hardship as an excuse from any of its requirements. Here is a quick review of some major requirements.

Maintenance – Civil Code Section 4775 requires HOAs to maintain and repair common areas. Nothing in that statute says “if the finances are in order,” or “if the money is in the budget.” Leaky roofs or pipes or unsafe balconies need to be repaired. Just like the individual owner who has to dig up their water supply line, it has to be done. Delay almost always makes things worse.

Termite treatment and repair – Civil Code 4780. Condominiums, stock cooperatives and community apartments are required to deal with termite prevention and damage repair. The statute does

not have an exemption for times in which the HOA funds are low.

Balcony inspection –HOAs must complete inspection of “elevated vertical elements” no later than January 1, 2025, and to repair anything found which could be a safety threat. The statute, Civil Code Section 5551, does not mention ability of the HOA to pay for the inspection or repairs.

Assessments – Civil Code 5600(a) – “the association shall levy regular and special assessments sufficient to perform its obligations,” which means that HOAs are required to budget for its reasonably anticipated costs of operation – not its hope-for costs but its anticipated costs. Target-based budgeting, in which the board dictates to its manager what assessment increase to budget for, has the process backwards and violates this legal requirement.

Reserves – Associations should set aside money to offset ongoing deterioration

It’s good to assess these days who are your true friends and acquaintances. It’s important to know whom to turn to for care, companionship, warmth, trust and respect. So much is changing and in flux that we must begin to understand where real support comes from and where our support is accepted. Reach out and touch those you care about. Offer them comfort, love and appreciation. With Sun, Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius, your potency increases.

Everyone who comes in contact with you realizes you are a teacher and someone to be offered deep regard. They realize although you may have a sense of humor and be the life of the party, it’s best not to cross, take advantage of, ignore or treat you unkindly. They realize you have values and principles concerning the use of Goodwill which opens the door to Right Relations. It’s important to be aware of and list your likes and dislikes, needs and wants. Then share this information with others. Begin with family.

AQUARIUS

Many changes have occurred since summer and many uncertainties emerged. Visions you held for the future seem to have melted away due to so many unusual events, tasks

of common area components which the HOA replaces or repairs. Some HOAs skimp on those savings contributions to reduce pressure on assessments, but that means the HOA is quietly slipping into debt. The reserve fund can also be a very valuable emergency fund from which the HOA can borrow for up to one year, during which time the HOA can rearrange its finances (as would any homeowner experiencing major unexpected expense).

Emergency

and responsibilities. Soon there will be fresh air and a time to choose and eliminate and take a stand on the direction of your life. Over time, you will assess what is a dream and what is the reality. Things, people, information close by and far away are vital and significant to your health. Contact them.

Observe your life and assess what it is you do daily. Observe your thoughts, what you’re hoping for, what your focus is and if you have goals and intentions? Do you know? What is it you want and need at this time? Begin with what you don’t want and need. We often thrive under paradoxes. To be efficient and balanced you must stand in the middle, betwixt and between all realities. Focus on the small daily rhythms and details. Then the larger life events will appear on their own. Like the grass grows, all by itself.

assessments

– The law allows HOAs to deal with major surprises. Civil Code Section 5610 allows boards to pass emergency assessments to deal with major expenses which were unanticipated when the last budget was prepared. That must be accompanied

by a written board resolution explaining to the membership why the emergency assessment became necessary.

Homeownership, including shared ownership, involves occasional unavoidable expense. Those expenses are best addressed head on, since they don’t go away or diminish with time.

Neile Adams McQueen, Best-Selling Author

By Desert Star Staff

Palm Springs, CA – If you’re looking for the perfect present for holiday gift-giving. Then be sure to stop by Just Fabulous Palms Springs, 515 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92262, on Sunday, December 11, 2022, from 2:30 – 4:40 p.m. When best-selling author Neile Adams McQueen will be signing copies of her memoir.

MY HUSBAND, MY FRIEND, about her life with her first husband, the iconic actor Steve McQueen, and her latest novel, MIYAMI-SAN (A Love Story), set in Manila, The Philippine Islands, during World War II in 1930.

Neile Adams was married to Steve McQueen for fifteen and a half years. In the 20th Anniversary edition of her memoir, MY HUSBAND, MY FRIEND, published by Author House, Neile Adams McQueen tells the story of those alternating happy and turbulent years – a period during which the sixties revolution, with its sexual freedom and

drug culture, coincided with McQueen’s own mid-life crisis.

Neile reveals the intimate story behind the breakup of the McQueens’ marriage –one that had been in every sense a partnership and was long regarded as one of Hollywood’s happiest unions. She writes of the later years and the “black hole in his soul” that drove Steve into increasingly bizarre behavior.

And then there is the heartwrenching story of McQueen’s final illness when cancer claimed him at the tragic young age of 50. Neile, who rode the dazzling Hollywood roller coaster with him, reveals a Steve McQueen no one knew – his good side, his crazy side, his dark side….

MIYAMI-SAN is set in Manila, The Philippine Islands, in 1930. When the innocent and lovely Mila Alvarez takes the stage at the Olympic Stadium one fateful night as the newly named MIAMI, she has no idea of the journey before her. She transforms from a young,

sheltered schoolgirl into an intuitively inventive and bold new star and soon finds fame and adoration throughout Southeast Asia and beyond. Along the way comes handsome Lt. John Holbrook, who wreaks havoc on her young life as World War II looms ever closer. When she crosses paths with Japanese industrialist Koda Sato, her life changes its trajectory.

Neile Adams McQueen says, “The characters in MIYAMI-SAN (A Love Story) had been milling about in my mind for a long time and were, in part, influenced by people and circumstances I’ve encountered in my own life. Then when the COVID-19 pandemic began in December 2019, I concluded that it was time to write this book and commit the story to the page. And so I did. My novel, in many ways, parallels what is going on in Ukraine right now.” To learn more about Neile Adams McQueen, please visit: http:// www.neileadamsmcqueen.com/

Fight for Affordable Insulin Continues During National Diabetes Month

By Desert Star Staff

November is National Diabetes Month - and the American Diabetes Association reports that at least 3.2 million Californians have been diagnosed with the disease.

People with diabetes make up more than 10.5% of the adult population, and another 33%, or 10.3 million people, have high blood sugar levels that signify pre-diabetes.

Dr. Nicole Brady is the chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare. She said the rising cost of insulin is putting many patients in a bind.

“Many of them may even have to make decisions such as, ‘Am I gonna buy food for my family this week or am I gonna spend money on my insulin?’ So it puts them in a very precarious position,” Brady said.

A study by the Healthcare Cost Institute found that the average price of insulin has nearly doubled since 2012. And research published last month in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that one in

five adults with diabetes is rationing insulin to save money.

The Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, which passed this summer, caps the cost of insulin for people on Medicare at $ 35 per month, starting in January. It also caps their out-ofpocket costs for prescription drugs at $2,000 a year and allows Medicare to negotiate the price of medicines.

Brady said that starting January 1, UnitedHealthcare will eliminate out-of-pocket costs for certain prescription medications, including preferred brands of insulin, for people enrolled in standard fully insured group plans.

“So we’re hoping that eliminating the out-of-pocket expense for insulin helps reduce that financial burden and that people will be able to be better adherent to their medications and take them more regularly,” Brady said.

Brady also provided tips on improving your quality of life while on an insulin regimen. She advised that people reduce

sugary, processed foods, limit alcohol, avoid smoking, and exercise regularly.

“Moving and using those muscles helps burn blood sugar and keeps those levels manageable. And we know it can also help many other conditions like heart disease and high blood pressure,

and that activity just makes us all feel better,” she said.

Diabetes care was on the midterm ballot this year in California. Voters rejected Prop 29, which would have required a nurse practitioner, doctor, or physician’s assistant onsite at all dialysis clinics while patients were receiving care.

The measure was supported by unions but vigorously opposed by the dialysis industry, which argued that the increased costs would force clinics to close.

The Springs Woman

By Madeline Zuckerman

Close to 100 elegantlyattired women and a handful of handsome gents gathered at The Springs Woman’s welcome back luncheon, celebrating their 9th Season at The Springs Country Club in Rancho Mirage.

Kicking off the first of their six highly-anticipated luncheons, this first soiree featured two speakers. Dennis Mori, Communications Director of The Springs Country Club, and Rosa Lucas, Founding Board Member & Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner of Volunteers In Medicine.

Mori presented an

informative chronological history of how The Springs Country Club has evolved over the past 47 years. From when Edwin Johnson, a successful land developer, purchased the 385 acres with just a handshake to how the city of Rancho Mirage was formed on the same day The Springs submitted its development plans – – on July 11, 1973. Mori’s presentation featured a “walk down memory lane” as he shared nostalgic photos of Celebrities and VIPs who frequented and owned residences at The Springs, in addition to pictures of some of the fun, elegant.

Grand events The Springs hosted over the years.

Following lunch, Lucas provided a glimpse into Volunteers In Medicine’s Homeless Medical Outreach Program, often referred to as the Street Medicine Program, which offers medical care for the homeless and underserved without healthcare insurance.

Now with six successful years under its belt, this Street Medicine Program takes place on Tuesday evenings, encompassing teams of volunteers. Including a physician or nurse practitioner, medical resident, psychologist, social

“We are delighted that so many of our Springs Woman members joined us for this season’s opening luncheon,” said Mary Hockin, President of The Springs Woman. “Dennis Mori entertained us as he shared archival photos of The Springs over the past 47 years. And we are very proud that since its inception, The Springs Woman has been the largest outside fundraising group for Coachella Valley’s Volunteers In Medicine, which now has two clinics in Indio and Palm Springs. The Springs Woman has supported Volunteers In Medicine since 2014, raising more than $150,000 for this vital nonprofit within our community.

Proposed Coastal Conservancy Plan Would Tackle Climate Resiliency in CA

By Desert Star Staff

The state Coastal Conservancy will vote next week on a strategic plan.

To guide how hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars get spent over the next five years. The future of California’s 1,100 coastlines is at stake.

Liliana Griego, senior coastal program manager with Audubon California, said funds should go to projects that play to the strengths of indigenous people’s knowledge and connection to the land.

“We’re emphasizing equity, specifically to ensure that tribes are receiving long-term funding for comanagement of various coastal habitats, with the end goal of returning ancestral lands to tribes,” Griego said.

California Audubon, The Pew Charitable Trusts, and Coastal Policy Solutions submitted public comments on the draft plan - asking that accessibility for under-served communities be prioritizedincluding programs to improve

public transit opportunities and provide multilingual signage.

Griego said the Conservancy also should fund programs that combat the effects of climate change on the coast.

“Sea-level rise is a major

threat,” she said, “and so we want to see land acquire more inland so that as the sea levels rise, wetlands can have room to migrate inland.”

The groups are also promoting so-called “blue carbon” programs to restore

coastal habitats such as wetlands, tidal marshes, and eelgrass beds with native plants that sequester carbon as they grow, provide a buffer for sea level rise and rebuild habitat for birds migrating on the Pacific Flyway.

The foothills of the Santa Rosa Mountains in Rancho Mirage, California, are now home to Sensei, a 230-acre worldclass health retreat with a vision of wellness nestled against the stunning desert peaks and now sending “wellness waves” on a worldwide basis. This spa ‘without’ walls takes guests through this quietly guarded desert oasis focused on creating a personalized wellness journey for each guest. Private villas can accommodate up to 22 guests in luxurious quarters enhanced by world-class art, sculptures, and a melange of desert-friendly blossoms.

Sensei’s spectacular 18-hole, 75-acre golf course, was previously used by top golf professionals and now provides an opportunity for golf enthusiasts to either reform or learn new skills with the help of leading practitioners and coaches.

Daily well-being classes

include yoga, meditation techniques, guided walks, and hikes. At the same time, offproperty guests can explore the unique flora of Joshua Tree National Park or the wildflowerstrewn desert trails along the Aerial Tramway. Adding to the diversity of Sensei Porcupine Creek is the placement of worldclass sculptures revealing a melange of Japanese artists paying homage to the Sensei’s Japanese -inspired design and California roots. These artists are Yoshimoto Nara, Kokuta Suda, Mikio Watanabe, and Kazuhito Takadoi. The lush estate grounds reveal the works and sculptures of Lita Albuquerque, Robert Indiana, Nancy Korenz, and others.

Custom massage with targeted bodywork is one way Sensei uses thermographic body mapping, creating a visual body map. To be precise, “massage practitioners use Sensei-developed thermographic technology

to create a visual map of the body, revealing asymmetries, muscle tightness, and areas of pain. Then, the practitioner uses these key data points to provide a custom massage with targeted bodywork.

Sensei goes further with their customized, highly

personalized program that facilitates “the important flow of ongoing communications between their guides and wellness practitioners.” Finally, add their personal Nobu Dining Experience, a collaboration between world-renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa

and Dr. David Agus. This gastronomic experience is open exclusively to retreat guests.

Six unique well-being packages are available for guests, all sharing a common goal: improved health and wellbeing. Visit the website at Sensei.com. Source: Pam Price

they have bettered the lives of animals. They have rescued over 14,000, seen over 10,000 adoptions, and neutered 200,000 animals. Their work continues to save, heal and find homes for our beloved pets. The event started with a champagne reception where guests were able to bid on a vast silent auction. Guests were treated to vintage planes as they walked from the reception area to the large hangar for a delicious lunch. Auctioneer Freddie Silveria kept the raise you paddle bidding lively. Much money was raised to help Animal Samaritans work with animals. Reju Mehta donated a &65,000 necklace, the only live auction item.

be able to house 40 cats and dogs of all sizes. This will be a massive undertaking with many programs that will enhance the

care needed for animals and also programs for people with pet training and supervision.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the unpaid balance currently due and owing under the aforesaid Notice of Delinquent Assessment Lien and/or late fees, costs of collection (including attorneys’ fees), and interest, which said Owner is obligated to pay Creditor Association under Civil Code Section 5650, and fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the Property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of the Notice of Trustee’s Sale is $36,839.19. NOTE: THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REDEMPTION CREATED BY CIVIL CODE SECTION 5715. NOTICE

TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-387-2537 or visit: www.DelphiLLP.com/foreclosure-information for information regarding the sale of this property, using the following Trustee Sale number assigned to this case: 5021 00107-3722. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be available via telephone or reflected on the website listed above. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have the right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 844-387-2537 or visit www.DelphiLLP.com/ foreclosure-information, using the file number assigned to this case: 5021 00107-3722 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
