Board of Directors’ Report

Robert Copp, Treasurer

A draft budget for 2025 has been developed by staff and reviewed by the Finance Committee and the Board. Community workshops were held earlier this month, and recordings were posted on the website. The Finance Committee will recommend a budget on September 19, and the Board is expected to approve it at their September 26 meeting.

The budget contains various revenues and costs. Along with assessments, revenue comes from classes, trips, events, spa, advertising, and food and beverage. Staff are working to set achievable revenue targets. Amenities such as WellFit, Lifestyle, Spa, and Food and Beverage operations are budgeted to provide services expected by members. While a few prices for these amenities may go up, most are expected to stay stable, thus ensuring members can enjoy all the benefits we offer. Expenses against revenue include the cost of sales, insurance,

maintenance, and personnel costs. A new line item for capital project funding is being proposed along with regular operations. On top of the operations’ budget, a reserve contribution is made to ensure we can fully rehabilitate our buildings and grounds.

While some costs remain stable, others are increasing. We expect only minor additional increases in utility costs next year since we experienced significant increases this year. Insurance costs are likely to go up but are expected to be only slightly ahead of this year’s budget. Overall personnel costs will increase as we retain quality staff and compete with others for top candidates. Higher personnel costs have been built into the budget to implement an increase in the minimum wage to $18 per hour if an initiative on the November ballot passes.

This budget represents the best efforts of staff, the Finance Committee and the Board to balance controlling dues with providing services the members want and deserve.

A Note from the Executive Director Kyle Bodyfelt, Executive Director

“You have to know where you’re going. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll never know if you’ve arrived.” – Denis McLaughlin, The Leadership GPS.

Lincoln Hills is celebrating 25 years of fun, adventure, growth, and community. Much has happened in the past 25 years that has had an impact on where Lincoln Hills is today. Trying to determine what will happen in the next 25 years is a daunting task and necessary for this community’s continued success.

Luckily, your Board of Directors has approved the development of a Strategic Plan to look toward the future, at least for the next 5-10 years. Let us look at where your community is today: an amenity-rich community that includes more than 130 Fitness/Wellness classes per week: strength, balance, Pilates, water aerobics, Yoga, wellness education, personal and small group training. There are also more than 50 arts and dance classes

offered per week, such as ceramics, painting, and music, to name just a few. This along with more than 70 clubs, hundreds of entertainment events, concerts, comedy and performing arts shows, day trips, and extended travel to wonderful destinations. All of that plus a full-service restaurant and sports bar, 10 tennis courts, 15 pickleball courts, eight bocce ball courts, a softball complex, 2,000 person amphitheater, a ballroom, a theater, café, full-service day spa, two fitness centers, four swimming pools and two spas. Lincoln Hills does not stop there, 26 miles of recreational trails and 491 acres of open space is also provided.

So, where do you want to be in five years? The development of a Vision updated Mission, and creation of Values will be integral to defining what Lincoln Hills will continue to be. The development and execution of a sound Strategic Plan will not only benefit those living here today but will also ensure Lincoln Hills maintains a destination 55+ active adult community for years to come.

Architectural Review Committee

Celebration

Greg Kevin, Chair

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.” – Mark Twain.

The wisdom of Mark Twain is undeniable, but as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary, let’s be mindful of the rules. After all, we are an HOA and there are a few rules to consider as we celebrate. First, remember that house guests are only allowed to stay for 60 days in a 12-month period. So, when that house guest comes over to help you celebrate and overstays their welcome, feel free to invoke this rule and show them the door. Second, the Association limits the type of animals that are allowed in the community, so remember that live goats, pigs, and chickens are not allowed and should not be part of your celebration. Third, bright lights are prohibited if they disturb your

neighbors. If you plan to use large Hollywood searchlights as part of your celebration, consider your neighbors before lighting up the sky. Please remember that the use of fireworks and explosives as part of your celebration is strictly prohibited. Loud noise is another consideration as we celebrate. If you are considering booking a large rock band for your celebration, noise could be an issue. Our HOA rules prohibit loud noise emanating from your property, so think twice before booking the Rolling Stones. Finally, remember swimsuits are required in all the Association pools. Claiming that you forgot your suit at home is not an excuse. Please wear a suit for your safety and to avoid people laughing and pointing.

I hope these celebration reminders are helpful and will enhance your enjoyment as we celebrate our silver jubilee.

Compliance

Committee

Unique Roz Odell, Chair

When I first started thinking about the theme for this month, I was stumped. Then it dawned on me. I celebrate this community every day. Being on the Compliance Committee I drive around quite a bit and am constantly running into a unique pocket park or a relaxing fishpond. Having only been here for two years, I am still discovering the different areas of our community, and I find myself falling in love with each one. What is not to celebrate? Just look around! We live in a wonderful community. My love for Lincoln Hills explains why I volunteered for the Compliance Committee. I would like to see the community stay celebration-worthy for many more years.

We completed the last cycle of the Community

Review Program. The next cycle, Landscape, has already started.

We have received several complaints about residents installing cameras, flag mounts, and solar panels on their architectural features. Please know that these are not compliant and need to be removed. Design Guidelines 1.8.4 Architectural Features states Developer-installed architecture enhancements on front of homes including, but not limited to, recessed and pop-out stucco, louvered rectangular features, faux glass with stucco or wood trim, clay inserts, corbels, and gingerbread.

Let’s all continue to comply with the Design Guidelines and keep our community vibrant for the next 25 years.

Clubs and Community Organizations Committee

Change

George Herrmann, Chair

When we moved here three years ago, the first person we met was our next-door neighbor. He welcomed us to the community and told us there was so much to do here that everyone could find something that speaks to them. As I turned around and looked at a garage filled with boxes, I thought I had plenty to do and may never have time to find my path in the community. Three years later, he was so right. This is a community with literally something for everyone. At 25 years old, Lincoln Hills has evolved and changed, while still retaining its luster. Many of our clubs and community organizations find roots hundreds of years ago with little change. The world around us though has changed dramatically in just a few short years. Here at the CCOC, we recently revised the club policies and are currently working

on revising the recreational rules and regulations. I often hear people ask why anything should be changed. It was not like this twenty-five years ago. While clubs, games, and organizations may slowly evolve, other things have changed very quickly over the past 25 years. Facebook was introduced in 2004, the Smartphone was introduced in 2007, Instagram was introduced in 2010, Nextdoor was introduced in 2011, and TikTok was introduced in 2016. These inventions and creations have impacted our lives in ways that could not be anticipated 25 years ago. Adjustments in everyday living are required, and for the CCOC it requires some changes in the way the Association interfaces with clubs and community organizations. In looking forward to the next 25 years and keeping Lincoln Hills a vibrant community, we need to embrace change to keep moving forward.

Properties Committee

Quarter Century Milestone, Pride, and Challenges

Michael Mazikowski, Chair

As our homes age, they need major repairs and increased maintenance. Sprinklers and drip systems stop irrigating, landscape drainage systems quit draining, major household appliances need replacement, air conditioning systems break down, indoor plumbing spring leaks, and water heaters stop heating. Oh, the joys of homeownership.

Imagine if your home is 108,000 square feet with four swimming pools, a ballroom, a lecture hall, several hobby and game rooms, a commercial kitchen, a dining room, two bars, a café, and twenty restrooms. The same maintenance and repairs that we face also apply to our lodges, however, on a much grander scale. Some of the challenges that our Association faces now and in the next few years will be upgrading and replacing most of our lodge’s major equipment and building components. Most critical operational systems, such as air conditioning systems, are at

the end of their useful life, thus leading to higher maintenance costs and potential failures. As we do in our homes when we replace major equipment such as an air conditioner, our Association is also looking into energy efficiency, including automating lighting, air conditioning, and irrigation controls, resulting in lower energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Our lodges are also faced with aesthetic and functional obsolescence. Their decor has also aged and might not appeal to some potential homebuyers looking for a more contemporary ambiance, thus making Lincoln Hills less attractive and potentially affecting our home values.

In preparation for the next quarter century, our Association is being proactive by developing the 2024 Strategic Plan. A critical segment of the Plan is to implement condition assessments of major infrastructure and essential equipment so our Association will be better prepared for the future.

Finance Committee

July Report

Fred Raach, Chair

In July, the Association’s net revenue, i.e., the excess of income over expenses, decreased by $81,000 to a total for the first seven months of $256,000. The budget projected that at this point in the year, expenses would exceed revenue by $41,000 so actual results are $297,000 better than expected in the budget. For the year so far, gross revenue is $144,000 over what had been forecast in the budget and expenses are $152,000 less than had been forecast.

Gross revenue in June was $189,000 higher than budgeted. At the end of July, it declined to $145,000 better than budget, primarily due to catering’s revenue in July being $38,000 less than budgeted. However, for the year-to-date, Catering revenue is $64,000 over budget and the most recent forecast projects it to recover and be slightly higher than budgeted for the rest of the year.

The chart below shows how each operating department’s results through July compare to what was planned in the budget.

The Administration Department’s income was $122,000 more than budgeted, and expenses $68,000 less than budgeted, despite much over-budget expenses for Legal and Human Resource Services. Lower than projected advertising revenue was the primary driver of the Communications and IT

results. The reduced revenue is expected to continue for the rest of the year.

Less than budgeted revenue from events and more than budgeted trip expenses caused the Lifestyle loss for the year, relative to budget, to double in July. Revenue for the Spa at Kilaga Springs continued higher than budgeted, increasing its better than budget results this month. WellFit also continued its positive trend of net revenue growth compared to budget.

Food and Beverage total revenue plummeted in July from the lower catering sales. Expenses were better than budgeted, but the net revenue for the month was a loss of $35,000 larger than budgeted, reducing the year-to-date positive variance. Higher than budgeted expenditures for Maintenance, Supplies and Repairs, and Utilities costing more than budgeted in July reduced Facilities and Landscape’s positive variance at the end of June by $59,000 this month.

At the end of the month, the reserve fund increased to $13.6 million, and the unallocated balance in the Community Enhancement Fund was $341,000.

On September 19, the 2025 budget will be submitted to the Finance Committee and, if approved, to the Board on September 26. Robert Copp’s article in this issue of Compass summarizes the significant features of what is being proposed.

Lifestyle News and Happenings

Quadranscentennial = Big Word and Big Deal!

Allison Sertic, Lifestyle Manager

Lincoln Hills is 25 years strong. The community – the neighborhood, amenities, and the people – are aging very well! It takes a lot of dedicated facilities team members actively working hard every day to keep the buildings and grounds looking young. Moreover, the active lifestyle that so many residents live daily keeps the Association buzzing with youthful energy.

A party to commemorate this quandranscentennial is in order, what better place to honor the 25th Anniversary of this outstanding Del Webb community than on Del Webb Field? (Delbert Eugene “Del” Webb would have agreed.) “Celebrating the Community” will occur on October 8, on the diamond, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. This party is for Lincoln Hills residents – those who make this fantastic community.

The first half of the celebration, from 4:00 to

6:00 PM, will begin with social activities. Beverages and libations, and a scrumptious BBQ dinner, available from the Lincoln Hills Food and Beverage Department, as well as lawn games and opportunities to memorialize your place in this community with “I Am Lincoln Hills” activities and keepsakes.

The second half brings music! The Main Street Band, comprised of professional musicians who now reside in Lincoln Hills, will take the stage at 6:00 PM. They will play rock & roll music from the 50s, 60s, and 70s – tunes that will undoubtedly have many singing along. A dance floor will be set up in front of the stage for the many dancers in the community. Of course, lawn dancing is allowed, too.

Admission is free, but we ask that you register to attend. Go to “Lifestyle” on the Resident Website, or in person to the Lifestyle desks for more information and to register. I hope to see you all at the celebration on October 8.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs

Skincare, You’ve Come A Long Way Baby!

KarriLynn Keith, Spa Manager

Skincare has a rich and fascinating history, dating back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. Skincare practices have evolved from the earliest beauty rituals to today’s cutting-edge technology to address different cultural preferences and individual needs. Ancient civilizations placed a high value on personal grooming and skincare, with the desire for a youthful appearance.

The Egyptians were pioneers in skincare formulations, and Greek beauty practices laid the groundwork for the development of holistic skincare approaches that still resonate today. Romans were known for their elaborate bathing rituals, which contributed to the evolution of modern spa and skincare practices.

In Chinese culture, the principles of balance and harmony influence contemporary skincare philosophies and practices. The beautiful Ayurveda influences skincare by incorporating Yoga as a

part of a holistic lifestyle and contributing to overall skin health.

The 20th century truly marked significant advancements in skincare with SPF, and specialized treatments for various skin concerns and cosmetic surgery emerged as a popular option for achieving a more youthful appearance with Botox injections and dermal fillers.

Today, we are so excited to share our amazing technologies, such as our exceptional Hydrafacial services, our fabulous LED Light Therapy, our relaxing Compression Therapy, and our advanced skincare treatments and massage services to help you achieve relaxation and rejuvenation from head to toe.

WellFit News

25 Years of Fitness Trends

Deborah McIlvain, Lifestyle, WellFit and Spa Director

The 1990s was the decade marked by late-night infomercials. The one I think of the most was Billy Blank’s Tae Bo, a combination of high-intensity cardio with martial arts and hip-hop moves. During this time, spinning also launched a cycle revolution that continues today. The 2000s were dominated by the Latin dance moves of Zumba and the high-intensity competition and community of CrossFit. The mid-2000s to now continue to focus on the same foundational ideas, providing an experience that builds a sense of community and camaraderie. Along with making workouts, both cardio and strength training, as time-efficient and convenient as possible at home or the gym. Like Peloton, the exercise bike, The Mirror, which has workouts led by instructors on a large screen, and Apple Fitness. Wearable devices are also very popular, like the Apple Watch and Fitbit, that count steps, monitor

heart rate, count calories, measure sleep, and let you connect with others to form social support networks as you pursue your goals. Social media will likely play an ever-expanding role in every aspect of our lives, including health and fitness. From online challenges that bring people together to pursue a common objective to fitness “influencers,” social media is here to stay. On the surface, the fitness industry is built on trends. Still, its foundation is the quest for fun, experience, effective, and efficient workouts that improve your mobility, overall health, and fitness performance. That will always be the trend.

WellFit is always looking for new programs that provide the community an experience most of us are looking for. Check out Coffee, Tea and Tennis, which is a great way to learn a new sport and get involved in the community while staying active.

Celebrating the Community and the Way It Was

Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter

In 1999, George W. Bush announced his presidential campaign, NASA launched the Mars Polar Lander, and the term blog was coined. That same year, Lincoln Hills opened its doors to potential homeowners.

Harry and Pat Woolery may be newcomers to Lincoln Hills

but not to rural Lincoln, where they owned a ranch since the early 1960s. When Lincoln was mostly agricultural, they operated the Roseville Livestock Auction. Harry was the auctioneer who sold cattle and livestock from many of the surrounding ranches. Harry and Pat also built a livestock auction yard in Fallon, Nevada, which is still operating today.

Harry and Pat had front-row seats to the growth of Lincoln and the birth of Lincoln Hills. So, it seems only fitting that last year, when the couple hung up their cowboy hats to retire, they’d move to Lincoln Hills. They’ve come full circle as they share fond memories of the way it was.

“Lincoln was known as a cattle town back then,” Pat recounts. “But after early developers saw

Ferrari Ranch and its potential, deals were made that put Lincoln on the map.”

It was a time when the Roseville 55+ community had already been established by then contractor and founder Del Webb. “Mr. Webb could see that with its rolling hills and a tranquil environment, what was to become Lincoln Hills checked all the boxes,” Pat said. “He had a vision that Bay Area retirees would flock here.”

Here are some facts that helped shape our community:

• In 2006, Lincoln was named the fastest-growing city in the nation and was awarded the prestigious All-American Cities Award.

• For years, Lincoln struggled to build a new Catholic Church. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Ferrari generously donated the land, and with the help of donations from Lincoln Hills’ residents, the Saint Joseph Church came to fruition in 2007.

• Today, Lincoln Hills welcomes the public to a golf course, restaurant, and a spa, while the City of Lincoln offers an “old town” atmosphere with some businesses accessible by golf carts.

“Lincoln and Lincoln Hills together have strived to embrace the new while keeping the legacy of what it means to be a community,” Pat added.

There’s a saying that two things in life are essential – roots and wings. Let’s celebrate our community, which provides both: a place we come from and return to, and the wings to help us soar.

Celebrating 25 Years of Sports

David Wright, Roving Reporter

In October 1999, Lincoln Hills’ pioneers got to witness the birth of their highly anticipated “active-adult” lifestyle. The bones of that lifestyle are the senior sports programs intended to keep residents from prematurely joining the rocking chair crowd. Throughout the community’s 25-year history, our athletic facilities have been developed, expanded, and refined to adapt to the dynamic interests of the membership.

In its infancy, Lincoln Hills grew quickly. Envisioned to be a residential resort, houses were built around a 36-hole golf club. As a marketing enticement, the first 18 holes were completed before home sales began. The second 18 followed over the course of the next four years. The builder mapped out 27 miles of trails surrounding 500 acres of wildlife preserves to appeal to walkers and joggers. Meanwhile, Anglers Cove catch-and-release pond reeled in buyers fishing for

a way to cast their shadows in the community.

Orchard Creek Fitness Center (originally named “The Wave”) opened five months after the first residents received their keys to the kingdom. Two years later, a 3,000-square-foot wing was added to accommodate the growing demand of exercise enthusiasts. The newly enlarged facility, with its three swimming pools, aerobics rooms, indoor track, state-of-theart equipment, and locker rooms, became a year-round centerpiece for water workouts and cardio/ strength conditioning.

In November 2000, the initial phase of the Sports Plaza greeted antsy athletes with dedicated areas for tennis, bocce, volleyball, badminton, basketball, and even horseshoes. In 2001, the ribbon was cut on our softball showpiece, Del Webb Field—aptly named for the former New York Yankees owner who founded the corporation that built our development.

Still in childhood during 2004, our utopia christened a second fitness center, Kilaga Springs. The new facility handled the overflow from Orchard Creek—providing an additional venue for gym workouts, WellFit classes, and lap swimming. In 2006, its pool became the home for Water Volleyball.

Working through growing pains, the Sports Plaza accommodated requests for more modern sports. The latest craze, Pickleball, was becoming a big dill, and in 2007, the first courts were laid. As our community matured past the teenage years, the plaza added a croquet lawn, more pickleball courts, and shuffleboards.

Now, in adulthood and celebrating its Silver Anniversary, Lincoln Hills will be welcoming new generations and bringing new activities with them. Our wide world of sports will continue to give seniors the thrill of victory over the aging process.

Celebrating

Community: It is the People

Shirley Schultz, Roving Reporter

Del Webb’s quote is printed above the back doors of the ballroom hallway at Orchard Creek Lodge: “Concrete, steel, and lumber make the buildings, but people make the community.” His vision was not just about building quality homes but also building communities for people who love to stay active and socially connected. We celebrate the community framework he has passed on to us.

As we celebrate 25 years of community building in Lincoln Hills, let us reflect on how we got here. We got here on the

shoulders of countless residents who have volunteered their time and talents, on the shoulders of dedicated staff, and on the shoulders of every resident who has participated in our active adult lifestyle. This short article will highlight only a few whose imprint is embedded in our community.

Residents began moving into beautiful new homes at Lincoln Hills in late 1999. Del Webb Corporation provided the fundamental framework and many resources for community building early on, but in 2005, the first resident-run Board of Directors took over with Jackie Lamb as the first Board President. Twelve more residents have volunteered countless hours to this job until now when Marie Barnes heads the Board of Directors. There are seven Association-approved

committees made up of volunteers who give essential input to the Board. Thank them.

The first clubs met in a portable trailer or outside of Lincoln Hills because a lodge had not yet been built. Thanks to residents who volunteer as club leaders and facilitators, we have seventy to eighty clubs operational at any time. Do you know who started your club and when? Contact the Clubs and Community Organizations Committee for guidance on starting a new club.

One of the invaluable resident-run service organizations that evolved outside of the Community Association charter was Neighbors InDeed. This started in 2000 as a small group of residents called the Sunshine Committee who were simply looking for ways to help their neighbors. By 2004, it had morphed into Neighbors InDeed, a non-profit corporation run by Lincoln Hills volunteers who serve Lincoln Hills residents. Handy Helpers is one of their most popular programs. Neighborhood Watch and Lincoln Hills Foundation are two other dynamic organizations dependent solely on Lincoln Hills volunteers.

At the quarter-century mark, we celebrate the people who make up this community.

Celebrating 25 Years!

Teresa Tanin, Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch began with a small group of nine residents in 1999 and by mid-year 2000, had grown to 123 teams of volunteers. Neighborhood Watch now serves 6,783 homes through Directors, Village Coordinators, and Mailbox Captains. The ongoing goal is to deliver safety and security information to help keep residents safe and to recruit enough Mailbox Captains to cover every cluster mailbox station. Neighborhood Watch will be holding its annual meeting on Saturday, November 9, from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. All residents and

volunteers are welcome. Following a breakfast potluck in the Multipurpose-Kitchen (KS), Village Coordinators will participate in the vote for new and renewing Directors. A quorum is required. More information to follow. Questions? Email executivedirector@sclhwatch.org.

Be sure to attend the Special National Night Out event on October 1 at the Sports Pavilion, beginning at 4:00 PM with a Q&A at 5:30 PM. Residents can attend this special event following their own neighborhood events. Meet and talk with the Lincoln Police

and Fire personnel, as well as several representatives from Placer County Services. While hosting your own neighborhood event, take a group photo and email by October 10 “Actual Size” to NWPhotos@sclhwatch.org. Designate your Village and Mail Station. Your photo may appear in the special November Compass layout. Thank you to the Lincoln Hills Foundation for their help in funding Neighborhood Watch and thank you to our many residents for contributing to the success of our (their) organization. Let’s go for another twenty-five years!

Neighbors InDeed

Let’s Talk About Smoke Alarms

Dave Short

We have a love/hate relationship with smoke alarms. We love it when they save our lives and hate them when they wake us up at 3:00 AM for no reason.

That brings us to that darned chirping at 3:00 AM. The chirp will sound about once per minute until the battery is dead. Why does this happen in the middle of the night? Temperature affects the battery’s ability to produce electricity. At night, our homes cool down. When the battery becomes too weak, the chirps begin.

The lifespan of a smoke alarm is 10 years. A 10-year-old smoke alarm may not detect a fire. Your smoke alarms could be 20 years old. We can check the manufacture date.

Neighbors InDeed does not recommend 10-year batteries for smoke alarms. There have been many early battery failures with these batteries. You spend a lot of money to buy alarms with 10-year

presents:

BINGO IN THE BALLROOM

The Lincoln Hills Foundation will be offering Bingo in the Ballroom on Wednesday, September 25. 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.

batteries, and they may fail in two years. That is not cost-effective.

BRK/First Alert has discontinued the 9120b model and has replaced it with the First Alert SMI 100-AC model. The new model offers better sensing technology with fewer false alarms. Lowes has it in stock. Six-packs are available.

You might be considering stand-alone (not wired together) smoke alarms. In California, all residential smoke alarms must be hard-wired. Having smoke alarms wired together ensures that you will be awakened no matter where in the house the fire is.

Do you need new smoke alarms? Do you need batteries changed? Give us a call here at Neighbors InDeed at 916-223-2763 Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please leave a message. One of our volunteers will return your call as soon as possible.

Amateur Radio

Several members drove to Roseville to view the world’s-largest steam engine known as “Big Boy.” Big Boy weighs 1.5 million pounds and has 24 wheels! John, NQ6Q brought his VHF/UHF portable antenna which impressed all with its small size yet great performance. Dan, KN6DRN shared propagation information. Research shows that the “summer doldrums” degrade HF signals as the ionosphere is heated and expands, making it less reflective. 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

Our club held a Ballroom Saturday Night ice cream social on August 10. The activity included ice cream sundaes and root beer floats, games, and dancing. Individuals competed for best theme costumes. Best dressed in the women’s event was Dtim Tatum. Best dressed in the men’s event was John Kirkwood. Best dressed in the coordinated couples event were David and Stacey Reynolds. There were two games played, a “twist” contest and a “freeze” contest. The “twist” contest was won by Ria Worden. The “freeze” contest, danced in “swing” style, required couples to dance until the music stopped. The “freeze” contest was won by Jerry Cress and Sandra Speight as they successfully survived each time the music stopped.

Book

A wonderfully popular book that has been adapted for TV, Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmu, provides engaging ingredients for discussion: an intelligent and strong female main character, adversity, and the unexpectedness of life’s happenings. Does the Apple TV miniseries do the book justice? Together, at our October book club, we will mix these ingredients into meaningful and fun discussions. We’d love for you to join us. Meetings are in the Multipurpose Room (OC) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM on the

Ceramic Arts

Jim Phillips from our club loves building large structural public art and

has recently finished his latest art installation in front of the Art League of Lincoln on 6th Street near F Street in downtown Lincoln. The structure is called “Tres Artistas.” It is built using three wide flange steel beams with glazed ceramic elements on the webs of the beams. This is Jim’s third public art installation in Lincoln, and all three are substantial and interesting works that should be viewed and enjoyed by all. His other Lincoln installations include “Clay” which can be seen in front of the Lincoln Area Archive Museum in Beermann Plaza, and “The Stacks,” which is installed at the Lincoln Public Library on Twelve Bridges.

upcoming Winter Concert series. Scheduled for December 13, 14, and 15 in the Ballroom (OC), the performances will feature holiday songs ranging from classics such as “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Little Drummer Boy” to contemporary tunes including “All I Want for Christmas is You,” and “Mary Did You Know.” We’ll celebrate the season with songs of Hanukkah and will perform tunes sung in Spanish and African languages.

Melanie Greenwood, the instructor, has been a professional dancer since age 18, has taught dance since her early 20s, and says she’ll continue to teach as long as she can bring joy to her students. And she definitely brings joy. Her students say, “She does a wonderful job explaining how to properly execute the moves… her choreography is fun, complex without being complicated, and I love the upbeat music she plays… I love her style of teaching, clear and firm, with compassion and care.” And, “I just love this dance class.” Time to jazz up your life?

This month, we are celebrating our roots. In September 2009, a group of LGBTQ residents took the courageous first steps and applied to become an officially recognized club here. They weren’t sure they would be welcomed, and at first, club leaders didn’t want to post their names publicly for fear of backlash. It seems like it worked out well, though. Lavender Friends has grown from that first small group to around 100 members who feel welcome everywhere. We are planning to honor our roots with a dinner on September 28 (our 16 remaining original members will be our guests). Watch the Weekly to see how to RSVP. You won’t want to

RV

Let’s admit it! July heat was brutal here in Lincoln Hills. To escape it, members of our Club were able to enjoy the cool breeze of the Pacific Ocean in Bodega Bay. We took a private tour of Korbel Champagne Cellars, played golf in the redwoods, learned new card games, and simply enjoyed reading as we relaxed on the ocean bluffs listening to the waves. In August, many of us ventured out on our own. 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). Contact: Jake Baker 916-838-5253, jbaker525311@gmail.com Website: www.lhrvg.com

We are into the last days of the summer driving season and our club is still taking to the road. On August 12, 14 cars took the scenic route from Lincoln to Jakes-on-theLake in Tahoe City.

to help tappers prepare for the stage. Mary, however, was quick to reassure everyone that participation in the performance class did not mean a commitment to perform in the show. The existing technique classes will continue as usual. Mary reminded everyone that enrollment in a technique class was required for those who wish to join the performance class, ensuring that everyone has a strong foundation in tap.

Woodcarvers

One of the side benefits of wood carving is awareness. Maybe not so much in

the beginning, but over time things like shapes, proportions, details, and colors all become more evident. Now maybe the shape of a branch or piece of driftwood has the potential to turn into something unique. Something visual may inspire the next carving. And for inspiration, the internet can overwhelm you with ideas. If you would like to see woodcarvers in action, please come by. Club members have a large library of carving books, magazines and DVDs for plans and ideas. We have carving tools that you can try before you buy. We meet every Wednesday from 1:00-4:00 PM in the Sierra Room at (KS).

Writers

Paris, France – The City of Lights where 2,900 Olympians spent two weeks searching for gold. Paris reminded me of my French heritage and Père, my French paternal

Great-Grandfather. He brought the Constantin family to Oklahoma via New Orleans where he was a Riverboat Captain. Soon after Père, aka Captain Constantin, settled in Tulsa, he found Black Gold - lots of it. His oil refinery burned twice and flooded twice when the Arkansas River crested its banks. Just like I’ll find time to write about Père, you must have someone in your family who needs their story told. Bring 12 copies of your less-than 1,300-word stories/poems to the Writers’ club meetings, second and fourth Mondays from 5:00 to 7:00 PM in the Computer Room (OC).

Come join Steve Hubbard and Cathleen Hedges discuss the Hemphill Film. Barely a half mile from Lincoln Hills is Auburn Ravine Creek, where every fall chinook salmon swim up to spawn.

The effort succeeded, and the fish passage was finally built in place of the dam.

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.
