Board of Directors’ Report

Marie Barnes, President

Share - Have a portion of (something) with another or others. Your Board of Directors often must think of this word when making decisions for the community. Lately, this has been a word associated with the use of our common areas. The Association has very little undeveloped property. Some residents see the vast areas of open space and believe the Association can develop those areas; we can not. The Association is tasked with maintaining that acreage, but it is extremely restricted by the Army Corp of Engineers and the Wildlife Heritage Foundation. This open space must be kept as such; no development is allowed.

The maintenance of that acreage is also restricted. We bring in sheep and goats to control weeds, but the timing of that is restricted. If wildlife is nesting on the ground, sheep are not allowed to graze until that cycle is completed. It may look like tall,

unkempt weeds, but it’s an ecosystem for our birds and wildlife. We must all walk that fine line of respecting wildlife while minimizing fire loads. You may not be aware, but the Association works with the fire marshal and Wildlife Heritage to maintain that balance.

It may look like the Association is being neglectful, but that is actually far from true. Many eyes are constantly judging when and where to address the maintenance in our open spaces. The Association’s landscape maintenance crew is allowed to do fire breaks between housing and open space, so you will notice this being done. Other areas that are often of concern belong to the golf course. Although we can share those concerns, we cannot force the golf course to maintain its property.

So, whether it’s sharing rooms with other clubs, sharing space at the Sports Plaza or sharing our open spaces, it’s critical that we SHARE.

A Note from the Executive Director Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director

Lincoln Hills has reached the quarter-century mark, and from its inception in 1999 to today, it has been the combined efforts of many, including, but not limited to, the Del Webb corporation, residents, volunteers, staff, and partnership with local government. It was through all of these entities working together to create this gem in the Lincoln Hills, and it will be through continued cooperation for success over the next 25 years.

Strategic fit among many activities is fundamental not only to competitive advantage but also to the sustainability of that advantage. The infrastructure that was created here could only be matched today at an exorbitant entry cost. It is harder for a new development to match an array of interlocked activities than it is merely to imitate a particular set of amenities, match the offering of services, or create a natural setting.

While Lincoln Hills is extremely well positioned, maintaining the incredible lifestyle offered for the next 25 years requires planning and strategy. We are excited about the joint effort that will be taking place to establish the Lincoln Hills Vision, Mission, and Master Plan. Based on the unique nature of our setting, we really do not have competition from outsiders, and we cannot rest on our laurels.

Seeing strategy in terms of activity systems only makes it more evident why organizational structure, systems, and processes need to be strategy-specific. Continuity fosters improvements in individual activities and the fit across activities while also reinforcing Lincoln Hills’ identity.

This effort begins now and will include the cooperation of many to achieve success. The Board of Directors understands the importance of executing a strong Strategic Plan to ensure Lincoln Hills is Northern California’s premier active adult community.

Architectural Review Committee

Working Together

Greg Kevin, Chair

Definition: A team is a group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal.

What makes Lincoln Hills special is the people. It’s not the lovely houses or tree-lined streets. It’s not the manicured golf courses or the wildlife-rich open spaces. It’s the people. Your friends, neighbors, and those relationships make Lincoln Hills unique. Lincoln Hills was founded on a collective sense of community, unlike other communities. From the 6,783 homes to the 569 Mailbox Stations to the 53 individual villages, these neighborhoods make up a community working together for the common good. The rich fuel that is the heartbeat of Lincoln Hills are these neighbors and the countless hours of volunteer time they spend serving our community. Without these volunteers, Lincoln Hills would not be the exceptional place that it is.

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is

Compliance Committee

All Together

Roz

Odell, Chair

When this month’s theme was announced, I immediately thought of how this described compliance. The Compliance Committee is a group of nine dedicated residents. These members are unable to cover the entirety of Lincoln Hills in a timely manner and rely on residents to aid in the process. When you see an area that concerns you, please let us know. It is easy to file a complaint, and if you wish, you can be completely anonymous.

So, you file a complaint form. What happens then? The paperwork goes to the Community Standards Department and becomes completely confidential. You will not be informed what is going on with the case. I know it is frustrating not to know how things are proceeding. Remember, after being submitted, all cases must be kept confidential. Please do not insist that Community

made up of ten of your neighbors. The ARC consists of individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and opinions. The one thing they share in common is their love for Lincoln Hills. It is through this shared love that this all-volunteer team’s work is accomplished.

The Design Guidelines are often thought to be ridged and inflexible, but it is important to point out that section 1.1 of the Design Guidelines states, “These Guidelines and standards are not intended to be all-inclusive or exclusive, but rather serve as a guide to identify improvements permissible in the community.”

It is up to those guidelines and the committee to come together, work as a team, interpret these guidelines, and work collectively for what is in the best interest of the community.

It is through this teamwork that we are Lincoln Hills!

Standards staff tell you what is going on; remember, they are just doing their job. I know the timing can seem long, usually 15 to 90 days or so, but we must be fair to everyone. With the residents’ help, we can continue to be proud of our community, and our homes will hold and increase their value.

I know I am a nerd, but I see serving on the Compliance Committee as giving a little hug to our community. I love that our committee works as a team that serves and includes every resident. Yes, we all signed a contract when we moved in to follow all of the governing documents, but I bet most of you are like me. You do it because you love this community. Doesn’t it make you feel good when you have guests that ooh and aah when they visit? The credit for this is yours because of your part on this wonderful team.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee Initiatives

George Herrmann, Chair

Following the revision, updating, and posting of the Club handbook earlier this year, the Clubs and Community Organizations Committee (CCOC) has several new initiatives for 2024. The recreational rules and regulations, which have not been updated since 2019, are in need of revision. These recreational rules and regulations cover a lot of the common areas, both outdoors and indoors.

In a second initiative, we are going to develop a procedure to handle amenities requests from clubs, support groups, and community organizations. Instead of each request having to be looked at by the CCOC and the BOD individually, we want to have a procedure that indicates approval or disapproval prior to board review.

Finally, a third initiative is to give these three groups more of a connection within the Association

Properties Committee It Takes an Orchestrated Effort

Russ Palchak, Vice-Chair

It has been said that democracies are complicated and messy. My experience on the Properties Committee has proven that much can be accomplished smoothly if we calmly work together and follow the democratic processes that are provided in our governing documents. Much of the work that the Properties Committee addresses is physical assets to maintain our buildings and surroundings, which are owned by the homeowners’ association. The objective is to provide the membership with a near-resort-like experience in a well-maintained, active adult community. But we do not work alone. The executive director, maintenance managers, and staff are diligent about fulfilling the membership’s desires. Additionally, The Properties Committee also works closely with others, including the Finance Committee, Board of Directors, and other volunteers. Residents are encouraged to bring their concerns, ideas, and recommendations forward.

through the CCOC. A program to regularly touch base with every one of these groups is in the works. As you can imagine, the CCOC cannot possibly tackle these tasks without help from the community. We are currently shorthanded as we try to get the committee up to its full complement of seven members. Even with a full complement, we will still need the help of residents. To quote this month’s Compass theme, “In Concert - working together - it takes many villages.” If any of these topics hit home, we would like to hear from you. We need residents on task forces that will be working on these issues. Even if you do not have the time to be on a committee for a two-year commitment, you can serve on a task force. You know our goals. You know our needs. You know that we cannot do it alone. Please take the time to let your voice be heard.

Looking to the future, we expect the strategic plan initiative to enhance our processes, leading to improved outcomes. Volunteering, working together, and using successful processes has and continues to improve our residents’ experience at Lincoln Hills.

Throughout the year, Properties conducts inspections of all of Lincon Hills buildings, grounds, and physical assets to determine if they are safe and properly cared for and to ensure our community maintains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. After each inspection, a written report with the results of the inspections is presented to the Board, Executive Director, and Facilities. This past month, we inspected the Orchard Creek Lodge exterior, including the amphitheater. Along with numerous smaller repair items, we also reported that the stucco exterior of the lodge is in essential need of repainting in order to maintain its structural integrity. All of this takes an orchestrated effort.

Finance Committee

An Outstanding Month

Fred Raach, Chair

In May, the operating departments generated $37,000 more gross revenue than expected, increasing the yearto-date amount to $120,000 over planned. Also, this month’s expenditures were $42,000 less than budgeted, raising the savings for the year to $135,000. The combined effect, then, is net revenue of $255,000, better than what was forecast in the budget.

Major contributors to the increased gross revenue were the Administration, Spa at Kilaga Springs, and the WellFit Department. Escrow transfer fees from more than expected home sales and higher interest earnings on invested funds raised the Administration’s revenue. The Spa at Kilaga Springs had the highest monthly revenue in its history, 119% higher than this month last year. WellFit continues to attract more residents to its class offerings and shows consistent revenue growth.

The expense savings were largely driven by the Administration Department, which benefits from lower than budgeted costs for the security contract and the storage space rental and budgeted election expenses that had been paid in a prior month. The Facilities and Landscaping Department also contributed with lower than budgeted utilities costs and a favorable month in maintenance, supplies, and repair expenses.

The chart below shows how each department’s actual net revenue relates to its budget through the first five months of this year.

The Association’s bottom line continues to benefit from the high short-term interest rates currently available. The Community Enhancement Fund, the Reserve Fund, and operations are earning attractive rates on their cash balances while having rapid access if funds are needed.

Reserve spending in May was $54,000, bringing the total so far this year to $515,000, a 4% increase over the total through May of 2023. The data for the reserve study update have been developed by the department heads and the Executive Director and reviewed by the Properties Committee before being submitted to the Browning Organization to ensure the most accurate picture of what will need replacement in the next few years.

Spending of Community Enhancement funds also continues to be closely monitored. Through May, $54,000 has been spent, and the fund has earned $8,200 in interest. An incorrect FMA payment was refunded, reducing the unallocated balance of the fund to $376,000 at the end of May.

Detailed financial information is available as part of the agenda each month in the eNews announcement of the Finance Committee meeting and from the Resident Website.

Lifestyle News and Happenings

Super Directors

Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager

This month’s theme, “Working in Concert,” sent me down a rabbit hole. The topic kept leading me back to memories of the high school band. The band was consistently one of the best high school bands in the country. It was cool to be in our band, and it was an honor to take part in such a reputable, outstanding program. Our director, Walt Lovell, gets all the credit.

Mr. Lovell was nurturing, patient, and supportive, but also demanding as he expected us always to strive for greatness. He kept a wonderful sense of humor and was always the calm, steady rock we needed. He taught his drum majors and section leaders to creatively collaborate and confidently lead, working with different personalities through all the challenges that arose.

An example of a gargantuan challenge happened in my senior year. The band was invited to play in the Holiday Bowl parade and half-time show in San

Diego, as well as two performances at Disneyland on the way down. Three charter buses, loaded with 252 students, as well as an unwelcome stowaway – a 24-hour flu, departed Elko at midnight. About 30 students were hit with this awful stomach bug. Hotel rooms had to change so sick kids could be quarantined, and extra chaperones had to fly down to care for them. Music assignments and half-time formations changed. The shows still went on! It was an amazing feat, especially given there was no Internet or cell phones in 1987.

Kyle Bodyfelt is like Mr. Lovell in all the best ways. Leading a team of around 240, Kyle values every one of us, as he recognizes we each play our part. Kyle is knowledgeable, experienced, and strategic. He is open, supportive, and steady. He solicits creative ideas and solutions and is always working for the greater good of the Association. He expects his team to do the same, and we whole-heartedly do so, in concert.

Simply put, Lincoln Hills residents who give their time and service to the community save the Association hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

In the Lifestyle Department, more than $50,000 is saved -- $25,000 for the Summer Amphitheater Concert Series alone. We literally could not provide the concerts we do without our wonderful volunteers!

We appreciate every past, present and future volunteer for being a huge part of the Lifestyle team. Y You complete us!

“Bathing” in

a Pool of Sound

Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director

Summer amphitheater concerts are not the only outdoor summer concerts going on. How about experiencing a Sound Bath while floating in the water or sitting outside under the stars with a full moon? You may be hesitant about the whole idea of a sound bath. You may have never meditated before, and may sound a bit out there. But once you get comfortable and the session begins, something happens. Your thoughts from the day start to disappear, your breathing slows down, and you start to let go while you immerse yourself in beautiful sounds and vibrations created by musical instruments and voice that can facilitate balance and well-being in your body. Combining sound and positive intention is a relaxing, meditative experience. The sounds can have a physiological effect on your body as well as your emotions, mind, and

spirit. Every single level is being affected by the sound waves. This can lead to healing and selfdiscovery. Did you know that sound baths are not a new thing? They can be traced back to ancient Egypt. There has been a recent rise in popularity, as people want to tap into consciousness, and there is a growing interest in alternative health remedies. “If you want to find the secrets to the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration” -Nikola Tesla.

We are having our first ever Sound Bath in and around the Fun Pool. See our ad below for more information.

Come check out our new logo line! The logo is super fun; “having a ball since 1999” incorporates softball, pickleball, golf, and tennis. Stop by Orchard Creek WellFit and check out the line of shirts and sweatshirts.

Volunteers – Behind and on the Scenes

Linda

Lucchetti,

Volunteerism is a cornerstone of our community. Volunteers regularly donate their time in countless ways to enhance the lives of others. This summer, we salute those volunteers who are not only behind the scenes but on the scenes during the annual Summer Amphitheater Concert Series (SACS).

Residents and guests look forward to summertime when they can plop their lawn chairs at

Roving Reporter

the amphitheater, grab a refreshment, and sit back for an evening of live outdoor music. To help streamline the process of successfully executing the season’s 10 concerts, Judy Tyberg is the staff person behind the scenes leading a group of some 100 SACS volunteers.

You might know Judy from her stint at the OC Lifestyle Desk. You also may be captivated by her British accent, which is still pleasingly evident after residing in the U.S. for decades. Judy is a whirl of friendly energy perfect for leading and assisting others. Ironically, she stepped into the SACS role after serving as a volunteer herself for several years. “I had great mentors,” she says.

The SACS volunteers are recognizable at concerts, all sporting blue and white T-shirts while stationed at outdoor or indoor locations around OC.

Volunteers work during either

of two shifts, some manning entrance areas to greet and guide attendees, check wristbands, offer directions, or answer questions. Others are assigned to outdoor spots to which Judy urges, “Keep hydrated” during high temperatures. Prior to the concerts, Judy meets with each shift to review job assignments and safety protocols. She knows her team well, speaking highly of them as capable, personable, and kind. She carefully plans their assignments for each concert, maintaining information on spreadsheets.

Bob Johnson has been volunteering with SACS for 13 years and looks forward to his Friday night assignments. You’ll see him cheerfully checking wristbands at his busy station by the Fitness Center. “I get to meet lots of people,” he says, so much so that by now, patrons know him by name. Of all the concerts he’s witnessed over the years, he divulged, “Only two were not exactly to my liking.” Those are pretty good odds!

In addition to working the SACS events, volunteers may also assist throughout the year at shows in the Ballroom (OC), organized by Entertainment Coordinator Cody Meikle.

Thank you, SACS volunteers –YOU are the welcoming faces of Lincoln Hills, working together “in concert” and on the scenes to help audiences enjoy the show!

Working in Concert— Safety First

Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch

Summer is upon us and we are all excited about getting out and about. With each outing, however, comes some risk. Neighborhood Watch Executive Director Linda

Minor and Association Executive Director Kyle Bodyfelt work in concert with their volunteers and staff to help reduce the risks that may arise. Residents attending the New Resident’s Orientations, the annual Community Safety Event, and the National Night Out event, just to name a few, benefit greatly from the safety information presented by both Linda and Kyle.

Linda’s Event Coordinators will be presenting the “Kickoff” for National Night Out, August 17, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, in the Multipurpose/Kitchen Rooms (KS). This Neighborhood Watch potluck event kicks off the preparations for the upcoming October 1 National Night Out, where residents meet and talk directly with

Lincoln Police, Fire, and Placer County personnel. Sign up early for the August 17 event. This has always been an enjoyable evening. Visit sclhwatch.org for more information, including a detailed event flyer. Please bring potluck dishes to share based on the first initial of your last name: A-H salad or side, I-R main or entree, S-Z dessert or appetizer; coffee and lemon water will be provided. Enjoy the no-host bar, music, and more. Email RSVP to nnocoordinator@sclhwatch.org or call Suzanne at 775-790-0835. Cost is $5 per person. Please make your check payable to SCLH Neighborhood Watch and mail it to SCLH Neighborhood Watch, P. O. Box 282, Lincoln, CA 95648-0282. Thank you!

E.M.T. tent set up for all Concerts

Kyle Bodyfelt, working literally in concert with staff and volunteers, has implemented updated safety measures during the Summer Amphitheater Concert Series. The May 21 eNews announced that a special EMT red tent, with two on-site EMTs, would be available to help residents should a need arise. “Safety is an essential part of a great evening,” per Kyle, which is also the philosophy of Neighborhood Watch. Working in concert, both Linda Minor and Kyle Bodyfelt help keep our community Safety First!

Kyle Bodyfelt, making sure all is good!

SACS Gets Its Acts Together

David Wright, Roving Reporter

Checking out the soundcheck

Before we can hear that train a coming, change our evil ways, or check into the Hotel California, it takes dedicated maestros working in concert behind the scenes to make our Summer Amphitheater Concert Series (SACS) sing. Lincoln Hills’ biggest event of the year bands together all departments, vendors, volunteers and even the golf course. Lifestyle Manager Allison Sertic and Entertainment

Coordinator Cody Meikle are instrumental in bringing quality performances to our community.

Of course, they could not orchestrate those Longfellow serenades without the right connection. Producer Steven Shore is the right connection. Beginning as a singer/songwriter, the two-time Emmy winner spent his entire life zig-zagging and u-turning through every element of the entertainment industry before forming his own Bay Area production company. He is responsible for the contacts and contracts—booking the acts for both our amphitheater series and indoor venues.

Steven is always on the lookout for new talent and new ideas. He has brought a few original stars here, but they can cause the costs

to skyrocket. So, he primarily suggests tribute musicians to keep tickets affordable. He explains, “I know that I need to keep within the budget, gear the acts to the audience, negotiate their fees, and schedule their availability.”

“We know that anyone Steven recommends will be good,” Allison remarks. “He has that kind of reputation.”

With a “show-must-go-on” determination, the production team starts setting the stage a year in advance. Each fall, they mark the dates, review promotional demos, and pick from a “serious list” of artists. Though all three work in harmony, Allison and Steven credit Cody for bringing a fresh perspective. He has a “youthful exuberance and good intuition” about how to give the lineup SACS appeal.

Allison attributes her own success to her diverse interests. From helping run her mom’s catering business to directing a nonprofit arts council to organizing events at another HOA, she went wherever her heart led her. When she had a chance to join the Lincoln Hills staff, she felt “all her worlds collide.”

Now managing her third concert season, Allison welcomes the challenge of making another “puzzle” fit together. “I attend every show because I want to see my product,” she admits.

In the “Biz,” the performing artists are called “the talent.” But Allison, Cody, Steven, and the dozens of others working in concert to bring us our concerts are the talent behind the talent.

Library News

The summer season is a perfect time to acquaint yourselves with what the Kilaga Springs Library offers. One of our popular sections is the Biography section. Unlike the Fiction section where books are listed by author, you will find this section listed by the featured person’s name. If you are interested in celebrities, we have books from Julie Andrews to Dick Van Dyke. You will also find books about athletes, newscasters, inventors, politicians, war heroes, scientists, and special people from ordinary lives making extraordinary differences in our world. Check out those shelves and get inspired, entertained, and educated.

The Kilaga Springs Library volunteers thank all who attended our Adopt-a-Book Faire in May. Another one is scheduled for October 15. In the meantime, while you are going through your old jigsaw puzzles or CDs, please consider donating them, as they are as popular as the books we receive. The Meet the Author Lecture Series is taking a break over the summer. We will be offering our next presentation on September 23 with more information to follow.

Amateur Radio

On or around May 12, ARRL was the victim of a network attack by a malicious international cyber group. We discussed the impact this had on us, particularly the inability to use LoTW for logging QSO’s. ARRL has stated that the data was not lost, but it will take time to bring all systems up. In the meantime, our members will use a variety of other logging programs. Meetings are held at the South Tower every Monday at 6:30 PM. Our club conducts a weekly radio network at 7:00 PM every Monday on the W6LHR Repeater at 147.030 MHz, 167.9 PL. If you are looking for a way to engage in the community and have an interest in amateur radio, please check out the LHARG.

Ballroom Dance

We will provide instruction for the Nightclub Two Step in July. This dance is often referred to as the “twostep.” Actually, the “two-step” is known by many names and can be a completely different dance to different dancers. My research has found that there is a Country Two Step, a Mexican Two Step,

a Texas Two Step, and Hip Hop refers to a two-step. In the ballroom, we dance the Nightclub Two Step. The Nightclub Two Step gives credit to a teenager named Buddy Schwimmer, who invented the dance in the mid-1960s. He developed the dance while practicing with his sister as he reached for a way to popularize slow ballad music.

Bird

Our club is putting expeditions on hold until September as the temperatures get hotter, and the smart birds have headed north to Canada and Alaska to eat lots of mosquitos. Wherever you happen to be, take a moment to look around and check out what is flying around the trees, skies, and grasses. One of the neat things about birding is that you can do it pretty much wherever you are. We normally

also welcome to play with the Monday Morning Bocce Group who play at 9:00 AM.

Ceramic Arts

The Lincoln Hills Fine Arts Show was held in the Ballroom (OC) in June. Five of our ceramic artists participated and displayed their fantastic pieces of 3D art to complement the beautiful 2D art displayed that filled the ballroom. Congratulations to the ribbon winners, and a special thank you to Janie Chlubna, Margo Flanagan, Michael Moyer, Eve Lee, and Jim Carnathan for representing the fine artists of the Ceramic Arts Group. The show was well attended, and many pieces of art found a new home. Thank you to those who purchased some fine pieces, and we hope you appreciate the time and love for the arts that is put into creating these wonderful works. Please support the arts and come play in the clay.

Chorus

Summer’s here, but soon enough it’ll be time to send out greeting cards and

join the frenzy of the holidays. It can take months of planning to smoothly navigate this busy time of year. Chorus leaders are hard at work today putting plans in place to bring you our December holiday concert series. There’s lots to do right now, including selecting the songs we’ll sing, creating promotional materials, choosing costumes, and more. Should you encounter your neighbor humming holiday carols in the blazing heat of summer, don’t be alarmed. They’re probably just a Chorus leader who’s already caught the holiday spirit! Rehearsals begin in early September, and if you enjoy performing for live audiences, consider joining us! Contact Membership Chair Mari Long for more details.

Cultural Dance

This month we’re going to learn about the Hula

class, whose teacher, Pam Akina, presents authentic hula from the Hawaiian Islands. Pam is recognized as a Hula Master by Hawaiian hula practitioners and invites all to learn with her. She says in addition to the steps and motions of the dance, hula is “first and foremost a cultural practice that connects us to the language, history, values, and land.” Her students have this (and a lot more) to say: “Hula is life… it releases outside stresses… we learn beautiful Hawaiian songs and the culture of Hawaii… it expresses all five senses and is the language of the heart… we are part of a big family with constant learning and growth.” So, let’s join them!

Thanks so much to John Kirkwood and Jim Kiley for planning this ride, to Lisa Leto for communications, and to Gary Hobgood

In late June, our third quarter meeting was held in the Kitchen and California Rooms (KS) to accommodate our growing club. In addition to an update on club business, the meeting theme was “An Ice Cream Social,” including a presentation on making homemade ice cream and a sampling homemade pies and ice cream to celebrate the Fourth of July. In July, 50 members attended a wine/food pairing with food trivia at a nearby wine bar. Our largest event, a paella dinner/dance is scheduled for the evening of October 23 at nearby

Genealogy

Think of the sounds we hear in our neighborhood…birds singing, coyotes howling, gas-powered landscaper’s tools, Friday night concerts, a motorcycle going by, air conditioners cycling on and off, a distant train horn, small planes flying overhead, sirens and an occasional flyover from Beale. For the most part, we live in a fairly quiet community. What we never hear is an Ice Cream Truck! Yes, it’s time for the Genealogy Club’s annual Ice Cream Social! For members only, we will meet on July 19 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM in the Placer Room (KS). Come and enjoy a cold and sweet treat with some friendly folks who like to talk about Families!

Spring has been an excellent time for walking, hiking, and club events. Our weekly walking groups have adjusted their start times to take advantage of the cooler morning air. While our hiking program is primarily focused on the mountains this time of year, a fish hatchery visit and a summer solstice outing provided a change of pace in the late spring.

No matter where the road takes us, we always discover something new and thoroughly enjoy swapping stories around the evening campfire with our RV comrades. See our website to learn more and

join us on the second Thursday of each month at 4:30 PM in the Placer Room (KS).

Woodcarvers

Woodcarving can vary in difficulty depending on the complexity of the

project, type of wood used, and carver’s experience. For beginners, simple projects like whittling novelty items or simple projects can be relatively easy.

Wellness Life Coaching

Why A Wellness Coach?

A Lincoln Hills Wellness Life Coach is a professional who assists people in making progress toward attaining greater fulfillment in relationships, careers, day-to-day life, or extracurricular activities. Schedule with one of our Coaches to better navigate your path, clarify your goals, identify obstacles holding you back, and learn new strategies to move forward. Our coaches will provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.

What Can I Expect?

Discerning “the why” is paramount to the coaching - because the subsequent checkpoints and milestones are built upon the why of what the client wishes to work toward - and developing a reasonable plan to achieve it. Each 60-minute session includes a personally tailored, written, 30-day goal summary to include measurable, time-bound

behaviors and tasks to be completed by the client. This helps each client maintain progress, overcome challenges, and achieve their desired outcomes.

What Does It Cost?

Each one-on-one session runs sixty minutes $84.00. Your Wellness Life Coach will recommend the frequency of sessions as you go.

Invest in Yourself.

We have four dynamic Wellness Coaches ready to book appointments at Orchard Creek WellFit Fitness Center. Their bios can be found at the fitness centers or on the Resident Website under the WellFit dropdown menu. Contact Danielle Merrill for more information about this exciting new program.
