ASSOCIATION NEWS Board of Directors’ Report David Mateer, Director The association consistently works to maintain our community. Some of this is with the dayto-day maintenance of our landscape and facilities. For the larger efforts, projects are created to perform major repairs and replacements. This covers a wide variety of items, from exterior painting to refurbishing the indoor pools and the interiors of our lodges. Some wonder how we determine when to perform refurbishing. The association tracks all our facilities and maintains a reserve report which lists the estimated life and expected replacement cost for these items. This allows the association to manage both its facilities and finances. The association maintains a “Reserve Fund” to cover these expenses. A portion of your dues goes into this fund to ensure we have the resources, when necessary, to maintain well-kept facilities for the use and enjoyment of our members. This is very similar to what each of you goes

through to determine when to paint your homes, and when to replace major items such as the water heater or air conditioner. Evaluating the replacement of items before they fail and maintaining your home’s aesthetics. The efforts of several staff members work together to estimate when repairs and replacements are needed. Our Accounting Policy also specifies the necessary reserve funding, both in dollar amount and percentage of funds needed to replace items as scheduled. Due in part to the higher inflation years during COVID, our current percent funded is at or below the percentage specified in our Accounting Policy. The association must therefore balance these expenses and increase the reserve funds. Of course, all of this, while considering the lifestyle offered by Sun City Lincoln Hills and striving to provide value to our members and keep the best interests of the whole community in mind.

A Note from the Executive Director Jessica Sedgwick, Executive Director Development of the Association’s 2027 budget remains underway. Staff, the Finance Committee, and the Board of Directors continue to review projected revenues, operating expenses, reserve funding, contractual obligations, staffing needs, and anticipated cost increases. The budget will be refined over the coming weeks, with final approval by the Board scheduled for October. As part of this process, we are closely monitoring the Association’s current financial performance. July’s financial results were unfavorable to budget by $66,754 for the month and $85,655 year to date. Monthly variances may occur because of the timing of revenues and expenses; however, year-to-date performance remains an important consideration when developing realistic assumptions for 2027. The budget process requires balancing current operating needs with our long-term responsibility to maintain the community’s facilities, amenities, and infrastructure. As of July 31, the Association’s Reserve Fund had an unallocated balance of

approximately $14.5 million. These funds are separate from the operating budget and are designated for the repair and replacement of major Association components. Several recently approved projects illustrate this responsibility. The Board approved replacement of the Orchard Creek Lodge Indoor Pool dehumidification system, with installation anticipated to begin in January 2027. The Board also approved a comprehensive Facility Condition Assessment that will evaluate the condition and remaining useful life of the Association’s facilities and equipment. The resulting long-term capital needs schedule will help us prioritize future projects, strengthen preventive maintenance planning, and make more informed funding decisions. The 2027 budget must reflect the cost of operating a large and complex community while planning responsibly for its future. We appreciate the careful consideration being given to this process and will provide additional information as the budget moves toward final approval in October. 5

ASSOCIATION NEWS Elections Committee Meet Your Elections Committee Ever wonder who makes sure Sun City Lincoln Hills (SCLH) elections run smoothly, fairly, and by the book? That’s the job of the Elections Committee — a minimum nine-member standing committee appointed by the Board of Directors (BOD) to oversee every Association election, from electing or removing directors to amending governing documents, approving assessment increases, and granting exclusive use of common areas. The BOD appoints an Inspector of Elections (IOE) who runs the election with the assistance of the committee. Members are volunteer residents in good standing who serve one election cycle at a time. Why It Matters: The Committee’s mission is to run elections that are fair, transparent, and unbiased — while staying compliant with SCLH’s governing documents and California’s Davis-Stirling Act (Civil Code §5100-5145). It works closely with the IOE to protect the integrity of every vote cast.

What They Actually Do: Behind the scenes, the Committee recruits Board candidates, prepares the slate of nominees, reviews election materials, hosts a Candidate Information Session and a Candidate Briefing session, as well as a Candidate Town Hall and a Candidate Forum. They run “Get Out the Vote” campaigns, recruit and train volunteers for ballot processing. They then report back to the Board in writing and in person at open meetings. On election day, they coordinate operations per the Association’s rules and state law under the direction of the IOE. Get Involved: The Committee meets monthly on the first Friday at 10:00 AM in the OC Meeting Room B (Multimedia Room). All SCLH members are welcome to attend. 2026-2027 Committee Members: Pat Hammer (Chair), Janet Becker, Linda Bringle, Carole Edwards, Denise Hexom, Susan Ishimaru, Helen MacLaren, Judy Martin, Linda Minor, and Lynne White.

Compliance Committee A Friendly Reminder from the Compliance Committee Brenda Cathey, Committee Member As we welcome new neighbors to Sun City Lincoln Hills, we want to share a quick reminder about keeping our neighborhood beautiful. We have noticed a growing assumption that if a landscaping design exists in a neighbor’s yard, it is automatically approved for use elsewhere. However, to preserve our community’s aesthetic harmony, all landscaping changes must receive formal approval from the Architectural Review Committee prior to installation. To help avoid the frustration and expense of removing unapproved modifications, please keep these standard guidelines in mind: Rock Yards: Rock ground cover is limited to 25% of the total yard area, must be an approved color, and cannot utilize lava rock. Bark and Plants: Bark cover must adhere to

specific size regulations, and all plants must come from the authorized community list. Lawn Decor: Decorative items like wind chimes, lawn figurines (such as frogs or mermaids), artificial flowers, and loose pots are restricted to backyard areas only. Our Design Guidelines are periodically updated to keep our community looking its best. Before starting your next project, please submit a quick application to ensure everything is compliant. Thank you for your cooperation! On another note, our committee is looking for individuals who have the same desire to ensure that our neighborhoods continue to look beautiful. We are one of the premier retirement communities in California, and we want to keep it that way. If you are interested in joining us, attend a meeting and we can answer any questions. Happy Planting!

ASSOCIATION NEWS Finance Committee July Financial Report Fred Raach, Chair Net operating expenses in July, the amount to be covered by dues, were $1,196,402, $67,000 more than budgeted, which raised net operating expenses for the year-to-date to $86,000 more than budgeted. Gross operating revenue in July was $7,000 less than planned, producing a revenue deficit of $99,000 for the first seven months. Gross operating expenses in July were $59,000 more than budgeted, decreasing the year-to-date amount to $14,000 less than budgeted. Significant expense changes in July were personnel expenses which were $23,000 more than budgeted and administrative expenses $33,000, which were also more than budgeted. The chart below shows where each department stands compared to its budget for the first seven months of this year. The comments below highlight the changes from June 30 to July 31. Compa s s revenue i n t he Ad m i n i st rat ion Department was $5,000 over budget but offset by unplanned recruiting expense of $22,000 more than budgeted. Lifestyle’s July revenue was $3,600 less than budgeted, due to lower income from events and trips and higher revenue from classes and room rentals. Total expenses were $2,000 less than budgeted with savings from cancelled trips more than offsetting small overages in administrative, personnel and repair expenses.

The Spa at Kilaga Springs had $1,400 less than budgeted gross revenue. Increased costs of sales were partially offset by savings in personnel but produced $2,800 of negative revenue for the month. WellFit’s revenue was $7,600 over budget with personnel expenses over budget by almost the same amount, producing a small, positive net revenue. Food and Beverage July revenue, less cost of sales, was $15,000 smaller than budgeted and personnel costs were $30,000 more than budgeted. Other expenses were $4,500 over budget. Facilities and Landscaping expenses in July were $5,000 less than budgeted, principally due to $13,000 savings in personnel expense from turnover, and a net of $8,000 over budget for all other expenses. At the end of July, the reserve fund balance was $14.7 million, an increase of $1,260,000 since year end 2025. Additions to the fund from contributions and investments were $2.114 million reduced by $854,000 year-to-date expenditures. Thirty-seven reserve projects have been approved in the first seven months for a total amount of $1,040,000. The Community Enhancement Fund, available for new projects, was $411,000 at the end of July. Of this amount, $92,267 is shown as committed to the Pickleball shade structure, but will be significantly reduced when the Club’s donation is booked.

ASSOCIATION NEWS Properties Committee A Closer Look at the Sports Complex Michael Mazikowski, Chair The Sports Complex continues to be one of the most popular places for residents to gather. In August, Committee member Russ Palchak led our annual inspection to make sure everything is meeting the standards our community expects. The good news: the grounds and buildings look great overall, with only a few small repairs and general housekeeping needed. The Bocce Ball courts are in excellent shape, though a few rubber bumpers need reattaching. Facilities also added support brackets to the benches—an improvement you can really feel. The lawn game area behind the Bocce ball courts is well maintained and greatly improved over last year. The tot lot is in good condition but could use more shade. The Pavilion and newly refurbished restrooms look terrific. Overall, the area shows real progress compared to last year. Pickleball, Tennis, and Shuffleboard courts

conditions remain solid. Pickleball courts 1–15 and Tennis courts 1–4 are scheduled for resurfacing this year, including crack repair and updated striping. In addition, the Pickleball Club is in the process of securing permits for a partially self funded shade structure—a much needed improvement that will greatly enhance comfort for players. The Ball Field restrooms have been nicely refurbished, though the exterior paint needs attention. The Baseball Field is in great shape, but we did spot a safety concern with an electrical box that sticks into the playing area. Facilities will look into relocating it. Being on the Committee offers a meaningful, behind the scenes look at the work that keeps our twenty five year old community looking at its finest. It’s hands on, collaborative, and deeply rewarding. If contributing to this kind of community stewardship appeals to you, we encourage you to apply for this volunteer role.

ASSOCIATION NEWS WellFit News Healthy Aging and Successful Living Deborah McIlvain, WellFit and Spa Director Healthy aging is about more than simply adding years to our lives; it is about making those years as active, independent, and fulfilling as possible. While aging naturally brings changes to our bodies and lifestyles, the choices we make each day can have a meaningful impact on how we feel, move, and engage with the world around us. Regular physical activity is one of the most important parts of healthy aging. Strength training helps maintain muscle and supports everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, and getting up from a chair. Cardiovascular exercise supports heart health and endurance, while flexibility and balance exercises help maintain mobility and reduce the risk of falls. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s finding activities you enjoy and can continue consistently. Successful living also means caring for both the body and mind. Good nutrition, staying socially connected, learning new things, and challenging

the brain all contribute to our overall wellbeing. WellFit offers resources to help residents in these areas, including nutrition coaching and classes, memory and cognitive focused programs, and a variety of fitness opportunities designed to support an active lifestyle at every level. Finding activities you enjoy can make healthy habits easier to maintain. Even recreational activities can provide benefits beyond physical exercise. Be sure to see our ad below about how playing tennis can support healthy aging and potentially contribute to living longer. Nutrition, hydration, quality sleep, stress management, and social connections are also important pieces of the healthy aging puzzle. Small, consistent choices can add up to meaningful benefits over time. Healthy aging looks different for everyone. It isn’t about doing what you did 20 years ago; it’s about discovering what your body and mind can do today and continuing to invest in yourself.

In conversation with author Lisa See

Author Lisa See Delights a Packed Audience Linda Lucchetti, Roving Reporter The heat of a late July evening could not stop some 400 followers of bestselling author, Lisa See, from waiting in a long line to the OC Ballroom to hear her discuss her latest book, “Daughters of the Sun and Moon.” The free event was funded by the Friends of the Lincoln Public Library and organized by the Lincoln Public Library and the Kilaga Springs Library.

It was standing room only!

Acclaimed historical fiction novelist, Lisa See, has based her now 14 widely popular books,

including, “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women,” and “The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane,” on her Chinese heritage and Chinese American history. “Daughters of the Sun and Moon” tells the story of three Chinese women who come to Los Angeles in the 1870s. Kathryn Hunt, Director of the Lincoln Public Library, conducted the evening’s conversation with the author. “I have ancestral ties to this area because my great-grandparents met in Sacramento,” Lisa greeted the crowded audience. What followed sounded and looked like an informal talk in a living room with friends. Lisa is low-key, humorous, and comfortable facing a crowd, yet a meticulous researcher and writer who understands in depth every character she plants on a page. Lisa said that she often conducts her research by investigating

a library’s archived newspapers and photos. In many cases, characters in her books are based on real people and events, much like those in the “Daughters of the Sun and Moon.” She described the three women, Dove, Petal, and Moon, the protagonists, as “very different,” and each facing unique challenges. Why did she choose the era (1870s) and the locale (Los Angeles) to write about? She was captivated by the many essential stories of that time that had been buried and forgotten. For one thing, the occurrences of Chinese discrimination have all but “disappeared from history,” she said. During a Q&A session, Lisa was asked what advice she had for aspiring authors. “Write 1,000 words a day,” she recommended. That advice has worked for Dorothe Kress, a Lincoln Hills resident and author, who was hoping to thank Lisa after the talk.

Dorothe Kress meets Lisa See—again!

“More than 20 years ago, living in Mission Viejo, I attended a similar talk by Lisa See,” Dorothe shared. “During that book signing, I told her I wanted to write; she gave me some advice: “Write 1,000 words a day.” Since then, Dorothe has published multiple books in both German and English. Life comes full circle! 13

Things are starting to shape up

Puzzling Behavior: Seniors Not Acting Their Age David Wright, Roving Reporter

Seeing the big picture

“Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is not.” What better place to not act your age than in Sun City Lincoln Hills. Like living in a Charlie Brown world, we are all just kids here. Whether it be on our playgrounds or in our playrooms, senior activities keep our bodies and minds feeling younger. One of the latest crazes for reincarnating our childhood is to do jigsaw puzzles. Puzzles are good for our cognitive health. They delay dementia,

keep our minds sharp, exercise our short-term memory banks, improve hand-eye coordination and tune up our motor skills. Perhaps the cure for insomnia is to turn off our electronic devices and find a little “piece” and quiet right before bedtime. Working on a jigsaw puzzle helps clear out the brain gunk that interferes with a good night’s sleep. Phyllis Ghilardi first became aware of the therapeutic benefits of puzzling when she was recuperating in a rehab facility. “It’s a challenge to figure out what goes where. It stimulates my mind,” she says. The calming themes of jigsaw puzzles are stress relievers. “It’s fun to see the pictures come to life. It’s relaxing and gives me a sense of accomplishment,” says Laura Wright. To help organize their projects,

puzzlers can use sorting trays and magnifying scoops. Separating the pieces by colors and edges help interlockers make the right connections. Like the puzzles, puzzlers come in all shapes and sizes. Some work on their puzzle at random, adding a piece or two as they go about their daily tasks. Some do their puzzle in shifts—an hour here, an hour there. Others bond with their puzzle non-stop until finished. There are people who immediately start a new puzzle after completing one, while others like to bask over their finished masterpieces before breaking them down. Most residents seem to prefer the 300 and 500-count puzzles. Though some diehards, like Ellen Zimowske, enjoy the challenge of the thousand-piecers. “They are complex and take longer. I like how they fill my dining room table with colorful pictures,” Ellen says as she searches through the stacks in our community Puzzle Library. With puzzles arranged by their piece counts, the free Puzzle Library in the Orchard Creek Lodge Living Room makes it a snap to try your skill. If you are tired of acting your age, pick up a jigsaw puzzle and cut out the growing pains… piece by piece.

Rehearsal Fine Arts Room

The Players Club: A Peek Behind the Curtain

Did I forget something? Oh yeah, my lines! Most people’s biggest fear is talking in front of a group and yet, we have folks who not only talk, they shout, they fall down, they cry and when they miss a line, no one in the audience knows it. The cast is a team that has rehearsed together for weeks nailing down their lines so if one person forgets a line, the other person on stage improvises to get the person back on track, seamlessly. It is fun to become a different person and the character becomes larger than life as the audience loves boldness. During rehearsals, the Director guides an actor to shape the character differently and in time, the character who started out in audition blossoms to life. When a performer puts on a

Tom Quallick, Roving Reporter Before the curtain goes up, the Play Review Committee decides if the musical, play and short play is age appropriate for our community and that includes the age of the cast members. A play in the summer, a musical in November and the short plays festival in between has enough drama for anyone. A recent survey shows that 40% of Players Club members have never been involved in theatre production until moving to Lincoln Hills.

Once a script is approved, the Players Club must sign a contract with the publisher for the script, script rental, royalties and music which costs the Club from $1,000 to $5,000. Next is selecting a cast based upon how t hat person handled the audition, guidelines and embodiment of the character they chose to audition for. Meanwhile, behind the scenes requires people to design a stage set, build it and set it up which takes several weeks. The production must include a tech crew comprised of sound engineers, lighting, video and sound effects crucial to all performances. That knock on the door comes from a laptop. The curtain does not open on its own, the props used on stage do not simply appear on their own. The behind-the-scenes crew is a critical component of each production.

Wise Aging Presentation Series Library News Denise Bowden Aging brings change, but planning ahead can make all the difference. The Wise Aging series presented by the Lincoln Hills Foundation helps residents understand the physical, cognitive, financial, and practical aspects of aging so they can make informed decisions before a crisis occurs. Having a plan provides a clearer path forward, more choices, and greater peace of mind for individuals and their families. Programs are offered monthly and will continue as long as there is resident interest and important topics to explore. Each session features a one-hour presentation followed by a 15-minute quest ion-and-answer period. Presentations are recorded and

made available exclusively to Sun City Lincoln Hills (SCLH) residents. Attend one session or the entire series—each presentation stands on its own and offers practical, actionable information. Previous topic s i nc luded “ Hig h R i s k Medications,” “How to Navigate the Maze that is Medicare” and “Key Considerations for Aging and End of Life Planning.” The next pr e s e nt at ion on September 25 at 10:00 AM in KS Presentation Hall will be on “Cognitive Aging.” Future presentations will cover “Living Longer and Living Well,” “Fiduciaries, Care Managers and Help When Life Gets Complicated,” along with many other timely subjects.

The Wise Aging series is presented as part of the Foundation’s mission to strengthen the support, services, and quality of life for residents of SCLH. As our community grows older, the Foundation is committed to helping residents navigate the realities of aging through trusted information, practical resources, and grants that support healthier, more independent living. Plan Ahead, Stay Informed, Age Wisely.

Compassion in Action: The Heart of Neighbors InDeed Cindy Kenna, I&R Co-Coordinator Every day, Neighbors InDeed volunteers bring more than tools and skills into our community. We bring compassion. Whether answering a phone request, delivering a wheelchair, or changing a furnace filter, we show what it means to care for one another. Our work often begins with a simple phone request: a walker that needs to be delivered, a cane to be picked up, or a smoke alarm that needs attention. Yet what adds to our service is the connection we create with each interaction. Many of our neighbors are facing difficult times; caring for a partner with an illness, adjusting

to life after loss or just unable to do the tasks that came easily in the past. In those moments, our volunteers don’t just complete a task; we offer presence, kindness, and a listening ear. We see it every day: a conversation that lingers after a wheelchair is delivered, a shared laug h w it h a Ha ndy Helper that brightens an afternoon, a story exchanged during a phone request that reminds someone they are not alone. These small acts of friendship show how compassion is woven into the fabric of Neighbors InDeed. Our community thrives be-

cause our volunteers understand that service is more than the job at hand, it’s the human connection that comes with it. By taking time to chat, to listen, and to share stories, we affirm the dignity of our neighbors and strengthen the bonds that make our community special. Neighbors InDeed not just a program; we are a community of volunteers offering a helping hand with our time, skills, and heart. If you need assistance give us a call at 916-223-2763. We will return your call Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. 19

See Something – Say Something Judie Panneton, Neighborhood Watch When Shirley Guzman recently answered her front door at 8:30 AM, she found her neighbor’s cleaning lady, who had been loudly pounding on it. She was informed that smoke from bark between the two houses was rising several feet high. Shirley grabbed a hose and watered down the smoldering pile. She called the fire department to make sure no flames erupted. Firefighters could not determine the cause of the combustion and said sometimes fire erupts in garbage cans, too, when discarded bark and heat mix. “It’s a blessing

that the cleaning lady alerted me,” Shirley, who is a Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, said. She decided to inform her village of what transpired so that they can also be on the lookout. One of Shirley’s neighbors posted the incident on social media to help others be safer so that they, too, can be aware of the potential fire hazard. Learn more about safety ideas when Lincoln Police Sergeant Jesse McCauley makes a presentation at KS Presentation Hall on September 23 at 1:00 PM. Questions are encouraged. On

Oc tober 6, f i rst responders, including the police, fire departments, and county emergency services and health experts will be present at a community-wide, Neighborhood Watch National Night Out event at the Sports Pavillion beginning at 4:00 PM. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers. Join your neighbors, meet new ones, enjoy food, refreshments, and fun. You can also learn more about safe, lithium-ion batteries disposal and the latest on e-bike and trespassing challenges.

In retirement, he enjoyed his semi-weekly golf matches, watching football, barbequing, traveling, and competing with his neighbor to see who could bring the most bins off the street after trash pickup. With an infectious smile and hardy laugh, he was given the nickname, “Pinky” by his golf buddies. Dick is survived by Ginny, his loving wife of 42 years. He leaves three sons, a brother, and numerous nieces and nephews.

CLUB NEWS Amateur Radio Art, KI6GYY and Dan, KN6DRN were on hand to greet folks after their New Resident Orientation meeting. It is always a pleasure discussing our hobby with new residents. Our members participated in two contests, the NA QSO Party one using RTTY and the next one using CW. Contacts were made during the California State Fair and a handsome QSL card was received from that contact. We attended the annual CCOC meeting and learned a few Club tips. Meetings are held at the South Tower every Monday night 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.

BULLETIN BOARD A Course In Miracles

Bingo in the Ballroom

This is an ongoing book study group for t he book called A Course in Miracles. It is a mind training course which teaches the student to think in a more positive way from the perspective of love and forgiveness instead of fear and judgment. This results in experiencing the world differently and having the experiences of the world, produce more joy and happiness and peace of mind. It is typically at least a year long as there are 365 lessons in addition to a length text which sets forth the theoretical belief system. It was divinely inspired and has a spiritual basis but was produced by a clinical psychology team. There are study groups worldwide, and the book has been translated into at least 25 languages. We meet usually twice a month, on Sunday afternoons, but more frequently when requested. Call 916-409-5253 for more information.

Instructor: Nina Baldi Understanding Urine Leakage in Adults Wednesday, September 16 11:00 AM–12:00 PM, OC Meeting Room A (Computer Room) $20 — WLS934 Urine leakage or urinary incontinence — the unintentional loss of bladder control and leakage of urine— is common among seniors, affecting millions of older adults. It is not a normal part of aging, and in most cases can be treated or managed. There are three primary types: stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and overflow incontinence: each with different causes and triggers. We will discuss these different types, how they differ, and what you can do to prevent or stop it from happening further. Instructor: Karla Trotta, PT, DPT, PRPC, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist 93
