Board of Directors’ Report
Lynne White, Director
What a difference a day makes. On May 14, I was a member of the Clubs and Community Organizations Committee. On May 15, I was elected to the Lincoln Hills Board of Directors. Right after the results were announced, I was on stage with six people I would serve with for my first year. My campaign promises were now a reality: A fiduciary duty to all residents and to stay autonomous. I am well versed in the CC&Rs, Bylaws, and Design Guidelines. However, I suddenly sensed that I should revisit all of the governing documents. Everything changed. I have become a liaison to two committees, ARC and Compliance, and have Board Meetings twice a month and have a lot to learn about ongoing Board business. I feel relieved that the campaign is over and anxious about what will be next.
I have been a Board member for two months now. When I first thought about running for the Board, the arguments I had with myself were: Do I want to make the time commitment? Can I make a difference in two years? Can I meet my personal expectations? The answer in this short time is that I am on track to have a very positive experience.
Lincoln Hills is a premier 55+ active adult community. We deserve Board members who are the “best of the best.” Our residents are very active and talented. Our life experiences lend themselves to volunteering and serving our community. In next year’s election, we will have four new or incumbent people on the Board. I anticipate that my term on the Board will be one of the decisions that will make me proud I stepped up. I feel grateful to have this opportunity to serve this wonderful place I call home.
A Note from the Executive Director
Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou.
While sitting down to discuss our youngest child’s high school graduation, we learned that Addy did not want a big party but an experience. Thus sprang the idea of a trip to Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail – 26.5 miles over four days of climbing and descending. From hiking training to various preventive immunizations, we were set for an amazing adventure.
We plan, and God laughs. Without going into too much detail, our scheduled trip was derailed by travel and possibly altitude-related health issues. So, with a hospital stay and some medications, we pivoted the sequence of our plans and still created
a valuable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. While we did not get to one of the seven wonders of the world via a trek, we still were able to enjoy this breathtaking, historical creation and the amazing natural surroundings of Machu Picchu. We also enjoyed warm hospitality, amazing history, and a connection with the Peruvian people.
While not our original schedule, we still learned much of the history of the historic mountain Inca town of Cusco, had beautiful clear views of the Milky Way, saw multiple Inca ruins, rested in the Sacred Valley, and enjoyed the hot springs of Agua Calientes. Addy even tried and enjoyed cuy (guinea pig).
“When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, you understand now why you came this way. Cause the truth you might be running from is so small, but it’s as big as the promise. The promise of a coming day.” – Crosby, Stills & Nash.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkien. Travel takes many forms. We travel for pleasure. We travel for work. We travel for fun. We travel for necessity. You either like to travel or do not. Some of us will fly halfway around the world at the drop of a hat, but others are just as happy to sit peacefully at home with a good book. Whatever your preference, travel is part of life.
Believe it or not, travel is part of the work of the ARC. We may not jet across oceans to far-off lands, but the ARC does get to travel to exotic places such as Glacier Point Court, Avian Hill Place, Lasso Lake Court, and Rustic Ranch Lane. Part of the ARC’s work is to issue compliance certificates and conduct site visits before approval of particular projects. This function of the ARC requires travel.
Properties Committee Travels About Jerry Tausend, Committee Member
Greetings to Lincoln Hills from 36,000 feet on our travel morning to Iceland.
Part of our responsibilities on the Properties Committee is to travel around our community and evaluate the condition of the buildings, grounds, and infrastructure. Another one is to inspect and report our findings to the Board of Directors, Executive Director, and the Facilities Department for consideration of needed repairs, upgrades, and/or replacements.
In our travels throughout our wonderful community, the projects sent up the chain of command for action, funded and completed, can now be put to rest for the next 25 years and addressed with a cheerful Bon Voyage, Arrivederci, Chao, and Adios. A great example is the replacement of all of the wood fencing of our green spaces with concrete railing and many more that we could not possibly list in this article.
Traveling into the future will take us to recommend further actions for: Updating the Kilaga Springs Lodge
Upon request and for a small fee, the ARC will conduct a compliance check of a residence to identify any compliance issues or violations of the Design Guidelines. These checks are most often requested during the sale of a house to ensure that the new buyer is not buying a house with outstanding compliance issues or violations.
The second type of travel performed by the ARC is a site visit to a residence prior to the approval of certain projects. The Design Guidelines require a site visit for home additions, pool and spa installation, and storage sheds.
As always, the ARC is here to assist. We are available to answer questions, assist with applications, and offer design suggestions. Please feel free to reach out to us. We love to travel and would love to visit your neighborhood.
and Meridian’s Kitchen, renovate the Orchard Creek Ballroom and repaint the exterior of the Orchard Creek Lodge.
At this point, Stardate August 2024, we would like to time travel back to the years 1999-2000 when everything in Lincoln Hills was new and pristine. We are seeking new ideas and horizons to boldly go where no one has gone before and to recreate our community for the benefit of all that call this wonderful community “HOME.”
The Properties Committee appreciates other sets of eyes. In your travels around our community, if you see anything that needs attention, please send an email to us at Properties.Committee@sclhca.com.
Please join us for our monthly meeting at P-Hall (KS) at 9:00 AM on the first Thursday of each month or watch on Zoom or video available on the Resident Website.
Clubs and Community Organizations Committee
Traveling Clubs
George Herrmann, Chair
As I am writing this article, we have just finished a hot spell that saw temperatures rise above 108° for more than ten days in a row. I am not sure about you, but I have started thinking about traveling to cooler places for a few days. We have RV, Motorcycle, and Sports Car Clubs that travel from time to time. I wonder if they take hitchhikers? Maybe clubs like birdwatching could be convinced to go to Bodega Bay with a group to birdwatch and then come home to watch Alfred Hitchcock’s movie, The Birds. The Hikers and Walkers Club can walk anywhere. Why not someplace cool? Thinking of travel, do you belong to one of those clubs that find yourselves traveling from room to room each week or month? Traveling can
be good if you are on the road to a special destination. It is no fun if your club finds itself in a different location every week or month. All recognized clubs are entitled to have rooms reserved weekly or monthly. As you might imagine, with more than 70 clubs, the need for rooms can make scheduling difficult. We are at that time when rooms are assigned for 2025. The key is ensuring your club is prompt with their yearly request. Act quickly when your club gets the notice from Elaine Allen, Room Booking and Club Coordinator, for 2025 inputs and requests. Alternatives to your first choice will make things easier. My mantra? More travel to cooler places on hot days and less traveling from room to room here in Lincoln Hills.
Volunteer Request
Would you like to meet your neighbors in the community? Volunteer to hand out the Compass in front of Orchard Creek Lodge.
We need help on the 15 and 16 of every month, from 8:00 AM to Noon. We ask for a two-hour commitment.
If this is something you would like to do,please contact Theresa.Renken@SCLHCA.com.
Finance Committee
June Report
Fred Raach, Chair
In June, the Association’s net revenue, i.e., the excess of income over expenses, increased by just over $100,000 to a total for the first six months of $337,000. The budget projected that expenses would exceed revenue at this point of the year by $18,000, so actual results are $355,000 better than planned. For the year so far, gross revenue is $189,000 over what had been forecast in the budget approved last September, and expenses are $167,000 less than had been forecast.
The budget for 2025 is being developed now. The budget process this year is the same as last year and with such a sizeable positive variance, it seems appropriate to consider if the actual results through June suggest that the process has led to projections that are too conservative.
However, much of the positive-to-budget outcome results from a number of changes occurring after the 2024 budget was approved. In the last quarter of 2023, staff found and capitalized on several significant opportunities to reduce expenses and/ or increase revenue. PG&E’s inability to implement increases in the charges for electricity and natural gas as quickly as projected and our insurance broker’s finding a lower cost insurance program than he had predicted produced expense less than budgeted. Delays in filling authorized job positions
also reduced expenses. These changes account for about $308,000 of the $355,000 and should put to rest any concerns about overly conservative budgeting.
The chart below shows how each department’s results through June compare to what was forecast in the budget. The Administration Department results reflect savings of about $184,000 from the post-budget changes offset over-budget Legal and Human Resource Services. Lower than projected Compass ad revenue explains the Communications and IT results. Modifications to the price structure to increase revenue are being explored. Lifestyle results are improving from increased class and event revenue. Revenue for the Spa at Kilaga Springs is higher than forecast particularly for massages, its most profitable line. WellFit continues its positive trend of growth in net revenue. Food and Beverage total revenue is very close to budget, but Catering has increased its share. That, plus below-budget cost of sales and personnel expenses explains the positive result. Savings in utility costs account for $45,000 of the positive result in Facilities and Landscape. Lower personnel, maintenance, and repair costs make up the balance.
At the end of the month, the reserve fund was $13.2 million, and the unallocated balance in the Community Enhancement Fund was $354,000.
Lifestyle News and Happenings
Let Us Take You on the Road
Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager
The wheels on the bus go round and round!
Now that I have undoubtedly evoked some childhood memories with a song most of us know, I would like to encourage everyone to hit the road with us to create new memories. Lifestyle bus trips are a fantastic way to do just that.
Association trips, offered by the Lifestyle Department, make traveling easy. The convenience of driving a few miles to Orchard Creek Lodge to board a beautiful charter bus that takes you directly to the destination and often just steps away from the entrance is fabulous. Traffic and parking woes are not your concern, as the motorcoach drivers handle it seamlessly. Additionally, there is space for luggage and bags, as well as accessibility equipment, in the cargo area.
Lifestyle staff is on every trip to ensure that itineraries are followed, tickets and supplies are
arranged and distributed, and safety and emergency supplies are on board. Thus, residents and their guests can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
All trips are available to view on the Resident Website. Day trips can be purchased online, but overnight trips and longer excursions must be purchased in person at the Lifestyle desks. (Overnight and excursions show as “UNAVAILABLE” online, but they are available unless/until they are sold out.) Lifestyle staff can answer questions and distribute itineraries and information regarding trip insurance.
One excursion I am personally looking forward to is the trip down to Laguna Beach for The Pageant of the Masters Art Festival, August 26 through 30. I have always wanted to attend this arts festival, so this year, I am going as a host. I would love for you to join me!
The Spa at Kilaga Springs On The Road Again with Summer Skincare
KarriLynn Keith, Spa Manager
Whenever traveling, I try to look my best. Unfortunately, travel does not always agree with my skin! Dehydration is inevitable and can leave me with a dull, dry complexion, which can truly ruin a good vacation. So here are a few travel tips to keep you glowing for any adventure.
If you are a beauty product fiend like me, it can be tough to cram all your beauty products in just one bag. I have learned to keep it small and simple. One of the most important things to know when packing your skincare products for travel is to keep your travel skincare routine similar to what you use at home to avoid any unplanned skincare disasters.
This year, we partnered with Comfort Zone to take the guesswork out of it. We found the perfect selection of soothing, revitalizing products for your face and body that will allow you to create your very own spa skincare regime on the go. Our
travel-size skincare sets are the perfect companion for any travel destination.
Body Ritual Journey – our firming aromatic body kit features our deeply hydrating and nourishing Body Strategist line that reduces crepey dehydrated skin and our relaxing Tranquility Blend Oil to promote restful nights and deep sleep for $37.50.

Stop by The Spa at Kilaga Springs today for all your travel skincare needs. Our amazing team is standing by to help.
WellFit News Guide to Exercising While Traveling
Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director
Traveling is a great way to explore and try new things, but it is also a time when we tend to overindulge. Eating is a big part of the travel experience; it can wreak all your hard work at the gym and overall health. That said, exercising on vacation is a challenge, so when planning your next trip, plan how to stay active too.
Bring small packable exercise equipment with you. One of my personal favorites is the TRX suspension trainer strap. The strap can hook onto almost any door, provide a full-body workout, and easily fit into your suitcase. Not sure what this is? We offer small group training (SGT) TRX classes that will show you many exercises and proper techniques. You may have long periods of traveling from point A to point B. Learn stretching techniques
– stretch in your seat, or you may be able to stretch in the aisle. Learn stretches that do not take up a lot of space. If you have several hours between flights, do not sit for the duration of the layover. Instead, you can take laps around the airport or from one terminal to the next. If you are on a long car trip, stop about every 2 hours and find an area where you can walk for twenty minutes and stretch. Set goals for yourself. For example, get 10,000 steps a day and plan your itinerary ahead for the day to see how you are going to achieve this.
Overcoming obstacles and excuses while traveling is challenging due to a lack of familiarity and routine. Once you discover how great it can be to integrate physical activities into your itinerary, you will start adding more outdoor exploration to your planning.
Beep-Beep: Road Runners Are Free-Wheeling Travelers
David Wright, Roving Reporter
Like the popular cartoon, Lincoln Hills has Road Runners zooming down the street. Only these fine-leathered friends do not have to dodge falling anvils or Acme rockets. Road Runners Motorcycle Club members enjoy the camaraderie of traveling the open road with their fellow easy riders. Born to be wild, the steel horse cowboys live for the wind in their faces and the thunder down under. They not only see the countryside, they experience it.
Flying their colors
It is all about the freedom and being more aware of their surroundings than traveling in a car. Motorcycle riding is described as
a “sensory adventure,” being able to feel temperature variances or smell a stream or meadow before they come into view. For Club Vice President and career professional musician Manny Perez, “It takes me back to my youth growing up in South San Francisco, riding the coast from Pacifica to Santa Cruz.”
Doug Sterne is a past president and the Club Historian. The retired sign company owner maintains the ride logs. On the second Saturday of each month between March and November, all roads lead to roam—with planned day trips through the Valley, Foothills, Sierra, or Coast. On other days, impromptu 100-mile lunch runs take four or five bikers away from their honey-do projects. Occasional overnight excursions allow spouses and off-cycle club members to carpool along.
The runs can be intensive, but safety is paramount. Journeys
usually keep to country roads— only using the freeways when necessary. Riders travel in a “stagger formation” and use hand signals to communicate hazards and needed “butt breaks.” Radio communications connect the rear “Sweep” with the lead “Road Captain.” Some members are medically trained, such as Club President Shawn Klein, a retired Emergency Room Nurse and former Paramedic.
Most of the roaring 20 have been riding since their teens and have a proven ability to handle an 800-hundred-pound behemoth. Though Harley seems to be the machine of choice, all makes and models are welcome. As the senior rider, 77-year-old Gene Glaser prefers a three-wheeled Harley “trike.” With over half a century’s experience as a Certified Public Accountant, Gene is a natural fit as the Club Treasurer.
Besides fun rides, the vroom mates participate in parades, toy runs, food drives, and club social activities. Since 2005, the Road Runners Motorcycle Club has been giving Hills angels the opportunity to check off those bucket lists as they: “Ride safe; Ride with friends.”

Oh, the places we will go
Time Travel
Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter
Get carried away with contemporary suitcases
Remember the days when air travel was an adventure, not an annoyance, practical, not problematic? Let’s journey in a time machine and return to the past for a look at air travel then versus now. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
Then
For something to do on a Sunday afternoon, drop by the airport and walk up to the sky deck. View the planes taking off
while you daydream about visiting exotic places.
Getting dropped off for your flight? Your driver observes that parking is ample. Purchasing a ticket or getting a boarding pass is easy – just meander up to an unoccupied ticket counter to complete your transaction with a friendly airline worker. You carry your luggage that looks like a large box with a handle, so I hope you packed only what you can lift.
You’re accompanied by family and friends all the way to the departure gate, where you prolong your goodbyes and hugs. As your flight prepares to take off, you’re welcomed on board by young female stewardesses and a male pilot. You notice the stewardesses are all dressed in uniforms. They’re often called “waitresses in the sky” because they serve
passengers substantial meals and beverages.
Upon arrival at your destination, you’re greeted by more family and friends as soon as you step into the terminal.
Now
Due to the events of 9/11, airport security is tightened by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Passenger drop-off and pick-up areas are marked for all vehicles (including Ubers). Only ticketed passengers can proceed to the gates. The airport interior is like a hermetically sealed environment.
Checking in? Forego the crowded counter where scores of travelers are lining up. Instead, proceed to a computer screen – impersonal but quick. You’ll never have to worry about a kiosk having a bad day.
Your suitcase is an oblong box with a pull-out handle on wheels. This invention prevents back strain, plus it’s fun to roll around.
Upon entering the airplane’s cabin, you’re welcomed by female and male flight attendants of varied ages. Your pilot is a woman. Safety is the crew’s primary concern. As far as food goes, you settle for a bag of salty snacks.
Good news! Statistics show that air travel now is actually safer than then. With rapid technological advances, who knows what travel’s future holds? We won’t need a time machine to find out.
Bushwhacking on Your Travels
Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter
According to the Oxford Dictionary, one definition of bushwhacking is an “activity of living or traveling in wild or uncultivated country.” It involves forging a path in order to move towards your destination. As we are traveling through life in the aging process, and specifically as we are physically traveling away from home, we are bound to face some challenges that will require us to do some bushwhacking.
For traveling, what do you put into your tool chest to clear the path forward more successfully? Let’s start with a few tips for trips away from home.
• Find out what vaccinations are required. Prevention is easier than cure. One source is the CDC Travelers’ Health website.
• If you take medications, clarify with your healthcare provider when you should take medications in the time zone of your destination because 8:00 AM in Sacramento is 5:00 PM in Prague.
• Carry a printed list of all your medications, including the generic and brand names, dose, and time you take them. This list should include prescription medication, over-the-counter medications, and supplements you
take. It is important to have this written list with you at all times regardless of whether you are on a fishing trip, at the mall, or in Madrid because internet service is not always available, your smartphone battery might be dead, or the health care system computers that have your information might be temporarily down in your time of need.
• Take with you an adequate amount of medications in their original labeled containers, and pack them in your carry-on luggage.
• Carry your emergency contact information with you.
• Wear support stockings to prevent blood clots in your leg veins if you will be doing prolonged sitting, and frequently move your legs or take walks.
• Travel insurance is strongly recommended for distant trips, especially to cover the costs of aero-medical transport if needed. Medicare or other health insurance may not cover you outside of territorial waters or in foreign countries.
There is a saying, “Aging is not for sissies.” We have to accept the fact that the path to the end involves aging, which runs counter to societal aspirations. We have to bushwhack away those things that take away meaning and fulfillment in our lives. Bushwhack away the stereotypes in your head about aging, and enjoy the journey.
Travel Local—National Night Out—October 1
Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch
Wheels up or wheels down, it’s travel time. Rather than buying a ticket or packing a bag, try a local spot—your own backyard. National Night Out (NNO) is the first Tuesday in October. This year NNO will be October 1. Backyards, as well as driveways, will be filled with neighbors getting to know each other better and showing would-be criminals our community solidarity.
Prepare for a fun time and take a photo of your group. Designate your Village and Mail Station and email them to NWPhotos@sclhwatch.org
Your group may appear in the November Compass. Only a few will qualify. Be sure to send an “actual size” high-resolution group photo.
If not hosting your own NNO, consider attending the Neighborhood Watch NNO at the Sports Pavilion at 4:00 PM. Meet and talk with our Lincoln Police and Fire personnel. Receive information from Placer County Health and Human Services. Have a cocktail at the No Host Bar or grab a meal from the vendor, Cowabunga BBQ. A great time and place to get together and meet our First
Responders. A local spot worth the short trip.
For event information, please email the NNO Coordinator at nnocoordinator@sclhwatch.org. Visit sclhwatch.org for the event calendar, “Who is my Captain?” assistance, printable forms, safety “Alerts,” and quick links to local services.
Neighborhood Watch continues to deliver safety information to Lincoln Hills residents. Please note that Lincoln Hills Neighborhood Watch is now a 501.c.3 non-profit tax organization, and donations are now tax deductible.

Lincoln Hills Foundation
20 Plus Years of Impact in Lincoln Hills
Denise Bowden
A resident collapsed while running on a treadmill in OC Wellfit. His life was saved by experienced staff using an AED provided by the Lincoln Hills Foundation.
Another resident was a 24/7 caregiver for her husband, who was experiencing dementia. A grant from the Lincoln Hills Foundation to Del Oro Caregiver Resource Center allowed her to have in-home respite care for him, giving her much-needed time off.
A woman with dementia wandered away from her home but was soon found safe thanks to a wristband that was able to locate her using stateof-the-art technology through the Project Lifesaver program supported by the Lincoln Hills Foundation and operated by the Lincoln Police Department. Many residents in Lincoln Hills proudly wear the pink ribbon of a breast cancer survivor. These members of Bosom Buddies, a Lincoln Hills Support Group, celebrate their survivorship and
support others newly diagnosed through a grant from the Lincoln Hills Foundation.
Since 2002, the Foundation has provided grants of $950,000 to programs that provide enhanced services to our seniors.
Our guiding principle is that 100% of all donations received go back into the community either through the yearly grant process or by building the financial legacy that will enable our commitments to continue in the event of major events or funding shortfalls. Operating funds come from the proceeds of Bingo in the Ballroom. The Foundation Board is 100% Lincoln Hills resident volunteers, working with grantees, managing marketing efforts, or staffing the monthly Bingo.
Our efforts are rewarded through the satisfaction we gain knowing that someone can have food on the table, take time away from caregiving a loved one, or receive emotional benefit from sharing with those in similar circumstances.

BINGO IN THE BALLROOM
The Lincoln Hills Foundation will be offering Bingo in the Ballroom on Wednesday, August 29. The cost is $25 for 12 games. Winners get $100 per game and $250 for the blackout. Door prizes will be awarded. Daubers and pop-ups are for sale. Bring your own water. No alcoholic beverages are allowed during the games. Doors open at 12:30, and games begin at 1:00 PM. Please email lincolnhillsfoundation@gmail.com to reserve a table for eight.
Amateur Radio
Welcome, new members Julian, KO6EPL, and Stu, WA6BTK! Julian and Stu have extensive electronics backgrounds. Field Day was amazing, with the club making 525 contacts. Five of us bore the heat for two days while four members worked from home. We greeted many visitors and shared our knowledge of ham radio and emergency communications capabilities. A radio was set up, allowing visitors to get on the air. 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. Contact: Dan Lehrer 631-487-2255, dlehrer72@gmail.com Website: www.lharg.us
Ballroom Dance
We are providing instructions for the waltz during the month of August. The word waltz originates from the German term “walzen,” which means “to revolve.” In the 1700s, the dance involved a simple rotating movement, where couples spun around the dance floor. Over time, the waltz slowed down and became more refined. The introduction of the “closed position” (partners facing each other with a closer hold) was a significant but scandalous evolution in dance during the 18th Century. Our Ballroom Saturday Night dance party with a Hot August Nights theme was held on August 10. The party included ice cream sundaes, root beer floats, a dress-up competition, and plenty of dancing. Check out our website for photos. Contact: Sal Algeri 916-408-4752, sr64danz@sbcglobal.net Website: www.sclhbdc.com
Big History
Welcome back to Big History starting September 9, where we will explore Innovations and Innovators! Ranny Eckstrom will kick off the new semester by talking about First Innovations. We meet every Monday from 10:00 to 11:30 AM. This semester, we are back in P-Hall (KS) with a hybrid format on the first and third Mondays and Zoom on the other Mondays. All sessions are recorded for later viewing. Dues are $10 for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, payable by October 31 to Ranny. We are excited for another enlightening and engaging semester with you all. See you soon.
This time of year, when the weather is so hot it might not be a bad idea to come into an air-conditioned building and enjoy a game of pool. You can beat the heat in one our billiards rooms at either KS or OC. If you are new to the game or

Bocce Ball, Mad Hatters
We play on the 12 courts at the Sports Pavilion. Our Thursday morning games are open to newcomers, and we welcome you, whether you’re experienced or brand new to the game. As new players arrive each week, we look to our more seasoned players to welcome the newbies and offer guidance when needed. Although it’s nice to win, our emphasis is on the
social game. Our balls are rolling at 8:00 AM, and we usually spend about 90 minutes on the courts. Name tags are helpful, but we can also pretend to remember your name. Busy on Thursdays? Other fun groups include the Night Owls, who play Tuesdays at 7:00 PM, and the Monday Morning Bocce Group, who play Mondays at 9:00 AM.

Let’s talk about Bollywood! As one student said, learning the Bollywood dance is like traveling to another country (India). Bollywood dancers experience stress relief, great exercise and camaraderie with a fun group of ladies and learn the rich culture of India as they practice—and they get to wear fabulous costumes! Pat Robinson, instructor, learned this dance at an early age by attending Indian cultural events and festivals filled with dance. Her students say she not only does a great job teaching the dance moves, she provides meaning to the dance, interpreting for her class the stories they are telling through their fluid movements. The Bollywood dancers perform this expressive dance at venues in
and around Lincoln, bringing joy to their audiences. Let’s join them!

Although golf is an individual sport, it’s a highly sociable one. When golfing in a foursome or with one other person, you spend three or more hours in
their company and have a great chance to catch up on their news, to discuss current affairs, or just shoot the breeze and have a laugh. Being out in the fresh air with like-minded people is great for mental well-being. MGCLH hosts monthly golf events and participates in the Central Valley Seniors. You can golf at ten neighboring country clubs. The Pro Shop offers “sweeps” on Tuesdays. You just need to get on their email list to be able to participate. Check out our website.

During the last part of our meeting a volunteer leads a discussion of last month’s selection. During our July meeting we discussed and rated Thelma 6.5 and Driveways 7.5. The discussions were at times emotional

A supporting cast of characters and ensemble singers play out (and sing out) a tale of high-stakes gambling, dice rolling, horse-race betting, and dodging the watchful eyes of New York’s finest and the admonitions of Sarah’s Save-A-Soul crusaders. What fun! Mark your calendar: November 21-24, Ballroom (OC). Tickets go on sale September 17.

Sports Cars
While we are in the middle of the “Dog Days of Summer,” we are still hitting the backroads with our cars. Several cars took part in the Lincoln Fourth of July Parade.

Swimmers and Water Walkers
With our summer heat wave continuing, we love to cool off in our pools. If in doubt about pool rules, contact the front desk at both lodges. Two important rules are: no diving into the pools and take a shower before entering the pools and spa.
Showering removes oil and various substances from your body that can contaminate the pool water. Children’s hours in the OC pool are 2:00 to 4:00 PM daily. Be aware that children are noisy and love to splash. Pool hours were set when Lin-coln Hills first opened as an amenity for grandparents. The hours were set in the afternoon to accommodate grandparents picking up children from summer and regular school. It was great seeing new faces at our August club meeting.
Are you looking for the perfect table tennis partner? One that is consistent can send a variety of shots your way, and never tells bad jokes?

During those hours, we have a Newgy Robot table tennis ball machine set up for use on a first come, first served basis. There is a sign-up sheet near the machine. If someone is waiting, please limit

Woodcarvers
Recently, we had a large window display at OC. Perhaps you’ve seen it. What great work! The members have completed a variety of projects—at different levels of skill. There were caricatures of all sorts of themes, and often with a sense of humor. Many members are doing bark carving,
often of houses or cottages, and the creativity behind each piece is quite good. An exquisite pyrography piece was also on display. This is the process of creating an image by burning the wood. We have several new members, and the camaraderie in the room while we work is always pleasant and congenial. Join us and watch the carving action. Wednesday, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM in the Sierra Room (KS).
Remember August? A time of year when the ephemeral smell of dry grass lingered on the morning air. Dogs lolled under the swamp cooler’s cool drip, drip, drip. We couldn’t
wait for that first finger scoop of hand-cranked ice cream or to steal bites of rock salt. Plutarch named ‘Sirius’ (Orion’s hound) within the ‘Canis Major’ constellation ‘hēmerai kynades’ (Dog Star). It rises with or near the sun during July and August’s hottest days. Plutarch then called the time of year “The Days of the Dog Star.” We call it “The Dog Days of Summer.” Just don’t forget to loll with the Writers’ Group on the second and fourth Mondays, 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the cool Computer Room (OC)—where you’ll be in August company.

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 drop-down menu. Contact Danielle Merrill for more information about this exciting new program.
Policy: There are no refunds, and all training expires one year after purchase. Please observe our 24-hour cancellation policy and contact the Coach directly to reschedule, or you may be charged in full for the session.
