For the first Quarter of 2026, our Home Maintenance program visited 291 homes to assist residents with minor requests. The Foundation was established over 26 years ago for this exact purpose and we are excited to continue providing this service to our homeowners

As a 501c3 non-profit, we are able to continue this benefit by the residents’ donations and fundraisers such as, Bingo, Derby Days & Golf. But a more important benefit is the socialization that it creates. Studies have shown socialization is vital for the elderly, directly impacting cognitive function, physical health, and emotional well-being by combating isolation. Regular social interaction boosts memory, reduces depression, lowers risk of dementia, and fosters a sense of purpose. It also encourages physical activity and strengthens immune systems.

With this in mind please join us May 21st Timber Creek Ballroom, 5:00 pm for the 2nd Annual Derby Days, $75.00/pp and non-residents invited, drop your checks off at 608 Blackstone Ct. Be sure and Save the Date July 12, 2026 Timber Creek Ballroom Bingo

On March 31, we had a Table at the Home and Health Fair. Judy Webster and Elizabeth Jarrett from our Community Care/Wellness Sub-Committee hosted the Table. In addition, we had Community Partners and Friends visit our table. Among those were Senior’s 1st which provides numerous resources for seniors. ACASA, who provides in-home caregiving and is a V.A. Contractor. Public Health handed out materials on Fall Prevention, and our resident volunteer Dwight Rose provided information on St Vincent and their numerous available food programs in Roseville. Thanks to everyone at our table.

We also participated in Mix and Mingle on April 29. Our focus was to encourage people to learn more about the Foundation and how it supports residents. A current need is for volunteers to join our Home Maintenance program. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Roy Meyers at (805) 558-1927.

Finally, please join us in welcoming our newest Board Member and Treasurer, Jack Porter. Jack and his wife, Mary, have lived in SCR for four years. Jack brings 45 years of experience in healthcare finance and accounting to the role and is also a Home Maintenance volunteer. A fan of restoring old cars, Jack can often be seen driving his light blue 1966 truck around the neighborhood—be sure to wave!
