BOARD MEMBER REPORT
By Robert Ash, Board Member
This is my first “Board Member
Report” and I plan to have a report for you
each month. I would like to welcome all
of our new Residents – you have bought
into a wonderful community here at Solera
Diamond Valley. Please be sure to read all
of our CC&R’s and policies/rules that
were given to you at the close of your escrow.
Thank you to all of the Residents that attended the Board
Meeting on March 25, 2014. I would encourage all our new
Residents to attend your Board Meetings to keep updated on what
is happening at SDV.
I would also like to thank our Committee Members for their
time and talent they volunteer on behalf of all of us. Our
Committees include:
Communication Advisory Committee – Charlene Bowman,
Chairperson; Design Review Committee – Robert Stowell,
Chairperson; Finance Advisory Committee – Karl Edwards,
Chairperson; Recreation Advisory Committee – Caroline
Edwards, Chairperson and Emergency Preparedness Advisory
Committee – Edith Reed, Chairperson.
As your Board Member, I have done some research as to what
my responsibilities entail.
• Enforce the Association’s documents
• Establish sound fiscal policies and maintain accurate records
• Develop a workable budget
• Establish reserve funds
• Act on budget items and determine assessment rates
• Ensure assessments are collected
• Establish, publicize and enforce rules
• Authorize legal action against owners who do not comply with
the rules
• Appoint committees
• Select an attorney, an auditor, an insurance agent and other
professionals
• Provide adequate insurance coverage
• Ensure that I am informed about business items that require my
vote
• Inform Residents of important Board decisions and transactions
• Attend and participate at meetings.
This list is not meant to be all inclusive or precisely correct.

do the greatest good for the greatest number of Residents for each
dollar spent.

GENERAL MANAGER’S MES
In the next couple of weeks, community
inspections will take place to ensure that Solera
Diamond Valley properties are in compliance
with our governing documents. Please make
sure to submit a Home Improvement
Application (HIA) for all improvements and
any additions to your property that have not yet
received approval. Otherwise, you will receive
a “courtesy notice” requesting that you submit
a HIA for review by the Design Review

GENERAL MANAGER’S MES
I am looking forward to the
opportunity to support the residents of
Solera Diamond Valley as the new
General Manager. Over the next few
weeks I will be continuing my efforts
to familiarize myself with your beautiful community. I have
been welcomed by many of you already and I am excited about
meeting everyone so please stop by and say hello.
I come to Solera Diamond Valley from Sun City Shadow
Hills, a large scale community located in the Coachella Valley,
comprised of over 3,200 homes. I have been employed with
Professional Community Management for 6½ years and most
recently held the position of Assistant General Manager at Sun
City Shadow Hills.
On a personal note, I live in La
Quinta with my husband Keith and
our son, Grant, who is currently a
freshman at Willamette University
in Salem, Oregon. We have lived in
La Quinta for the past 15 years and
before that Moreno Valley, Newport Beach and Huntington
Beach. Our family also includes a Labradoodle named April
and a Mini Goldendoodle named Kona and they are our 4
legged “kids”, especially while Grant is away at college. As a
family, we love to go on
cruises
and
beach
vacations.
In closing, I would
like to wish Tami
Morgan
continued
success in her endeavors
at Sun Lakes Country
Club and thank her for all
the support in my
transition to Solera Diamond Valley.

FROM DEL WEBB
Who Owns the Facilities
By Leeanne Brock, President, Solera Diamond Valley Community Association
Who owns the facilities here at Solera
Diamond Valley? This is a question that
the Board and Management get sometimes
from residents. The answer is very
important to understand.
The facilities – meaning the Lodge,
but also all the common area including the
Paseo, etc. – are owned by the Association.
They are maintained, and their use is managed, by the staff
under the direction of the Board of Directors.
So what is the Association? The Association (sometimes
called “the HOA”) is a mutual benefit corporation set up in
accordance with California law to
protect the interests of its members.
Who are its members?
All
homeowners as well as Pulte/Del
Webb (known as the Declarant in the
Association’s governing documents).
Residents sometimes tell me that
because they are homeowners here
and pay assessments they own the
facilities.
This is incorrect.
Pulte/Del
Webb
also
pays
assessments, yet the company does
not own the facilities.
At a
community like ours, the facilities
are owned in common, by the
Association, not by its individual
members.
Residents
(if
they
are
homeowners) are members of the
Association, but they do not directly
own the facilities. It’s somewhat
analogous to being a shareholder of
a corporation. You may own stock in
Ford Motor Company, but you can’t
walk into a Ford dealership and help
yourself to a new F-150 truck
whenever you want. Or you may
own stock in Apple, but if you go to
the local Apple store they will not
give you a free iPad just because
you’re a shareholder.
Association members (both
homeowners and Pulte/Del Webb)
pay assessments to maintain the
facilities, but that does not give any
4
The View | May 2014
of us ownership of the facilities.
And since the facilities are owned in common by the
Association, the Association employs staff to maintain the
facilities and manage their use. Staff is charged with having
and enforcing policies and practices that ensure the use of the
facilities is in accordance with Association rules, which are
intended to be fair and equitable to all Association members.
This system can seem complicated to those unaccustomed
to living in a community with an Association, but the system is
set up this way in order to comply with legal requirements, and
because it works.
Thanks for reading and let’s all enjoy our facilities!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
By Charlene Bowman, Resident
At the young age of 81, Gil Perlroth wrote the stage production of “Ain’t
Retirement Grand!” He lives in a retirement community in Florida. His
musical play is a funny and delightful look at our retirement years. On
Saturday, 4/12/14, the Performing Arts Group of SDV merrily performed this
comedy for everyone’s enjoyment. Both the afternoon and evening
performances were sold out.
The play was done in the ‘reader’s theatre’ style, with no props or costumes.
The players had the script in hand for easy reference. With the house lights on,
the troop filed onto the stage all dressed in black. Thus, leaving only their
singing talent, gestures, and voice inflections to entertain the audience. The
hilarity of the play’s content was very relatable by most of the spectators. For
the younger set, it was an indication of what lies ahead in life.
Part of the proceeds from ticket sales was donated to the Emergency
Preparedness Committee. At the evening’s performance, a $400.00 check was
presented to them.
If the smiles, giggles, loud laughter and
standing
ovation
were
any
indication….everyone had a great time!

MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS
Michael and Julie Grant

LIFESTYLE UPDATES
AGE
GENERAL MANAGER’S MESS
Fudge. Favorite TV show? The Voice. Favorite movie?
The Climb. Favorite candy? Snickers. Favorite holiday?
Easter. Favorite color? Red. What’s scary? The night –
doesn’t like to be alone at night. Believe in luck and
miracles? Miracles. One word description of self? Caring.
Favorite quote? God is
Good. Favorite song? The
Rose by Bette Midler. If
the whole world were
listening, what would
you say? “Thanks God
for everything I have,
kids, grandkids and
my
marriage.”
Words of wisdom?
Keep the door to
communication
open
(very
important
to
success in life).
The funny
stuff --- Michael
is a great helper
bee. But, don’t let him touch tools…..he might
break something. Michael’s response to the
question, “What makes you laugh?”
was…..questions like that. He doesn’t always
show his humor….but, he is a very happy guy.
Julie has a terrible sense of direction. When
asked a compass heading, she always responses
with ‘north’. After all, isn’t it true that you are
always facing north, no matter which way you’re
looking?
When asked, “What is the one thing you
would like us to know about you?” Michael and
Julie concur they are very caring, love to help
people, they’re Christians, go to church, enjoy bible
study and love to laugh and drink a glass of wine with
friends. They love sharing their home with their furkid, Sydney. He is a sweet golden retriever, which is
Julie’s certified comfort dog. He goes everywhere with
them. You have to watch him at Walmart, his favorite
store. Sydney tends to steal things, since he loves stuffed
animals and toys.
In closing, Michael and Julie would love to thank Ricki
and Melinda Terrian for bringing them to Solera Del Webb.
They love it here!

Soul mates, true love and together since the age of 12. That’s true
of Michael and Julie Grant. This year will mark 44 years of marriage
for them. Their childhood years were spent in South Gate, California.
They married and had children young.
Michael is a bit unique, especially by today’s standards. He
worked for only one employer
for 40 years and was blessed to
retire at young age of 55. Julie
spent most of her career years as
a ‘domestic goddess’ or stay-athome mom. However, she did
work for Safeway for 15 years as
the Service Deli Manager.
The last 10 years, they
enjoyed R.V. living in Aguanga,
California. The great outdoors is
a big part of their lives, which
accounts for the big beautiful
waterfall in their backyard. The
Grant’s dear friends of 25 years,
Ricki and Melinda Terrian,
brought them to SDV. The big
move took place on January 22,
2014. They love the people in the community and the numerous
activities.
Upon completion of his To Do List, Michael plays pickle ball,
golf, rides bike, hikes and fishes. Whereas, Julie enjoys tinkering in
the garden, hiking, walking the dog and sewing occasionally. Both
the Grants would love to visit Alaska one day, for a couple months of
exploring and adventure. Michael and Julie are very proud of their
three children and four grandchildren. Family is an important part of
their lives.
Interesting trivia about Michael --- Strongest talent? Putting stuff
together by ‘reading directions’ (very impressive). Favorite food?
Everything, ‘Mikey likes it’! Favorite ice cream? Rocky Road.
Favorite TV show? Good Morning America. Favorite movie? Old
Yeller. Favorite candy? Tootsie Pops. Favorite holiday? Christmas.
Favorite color? Blue. What’s scary? Something could happen to the
kids. Believe in luck and miracles? Believe in blessings. One word
description of self? Dependable. Favorite quote? When you ask how
he is – “I’m wonderful, terrific, marvelous and outstanding.” Favorite
song? Old Rugged Cross. If the whole world were listening, what
would you say? “Some of heaven is on earth, enjoy it!” Words of
wisdom? Keep God first, family second and then work (lives this
wisdom and it serves him well).
Fascinating trivia about Julie --- Strongest talent? Singing in
choir (loves it) and decorating (a passion). Favorite food? Lobster
(from her early Boston years). Favorite ice cream? Jamoca Almond

Julio Arostegui and Irving Waldo just returned from a trip to
Australia and New Zealand. They flew to Sydney, Australia and
stayed for 2 nights, enjoying a tour of the Blue Mountains. They
then boarded Royal Caribbean's "Voyage of the Seas" for an 18
day cruise around New Zealand which returned to Perth,
Australia. They spent two nights in Perth, then flew to Brisbane
where they stayed for one night before boarding their flight home.
CARLSBAD FLOWERS ABOUND
By Sherrie Chaparro, Resident
In April, the Garden/Bonsai Group enjoyed a field trip to
the Carlsbad Flower Fields (and neighboring outlet mall).
The fields as they are known today were started by Luther
Gage in the early 1920’s, and developed by Edwin Frazee,
who, in 1950, became the first commercial nurseryman to
grow a double ranunculus. Today, the fields are primarily a
tourist attraction and people come to take tractor rides through
row upon row of colorful ranunculus which stretch across
fields overlooking
the Pacific Ocean.
The
Carlsbad
Flower Fields are
open to the public
seven days a week
from
March
through mid-May.

DIAMOND VALLEY DINER
Karl Strauss Brewing Company
By Barbara Garcia and Barbara Rosenberg, Resident
If you would like to try a new
restaurant offering craft brewed beers and
many unique food choices, we have a
place for you!
Located nearby in
Temecula’s Promenade restaurant row, the
Karl Strauss Brewery was our recent lunch
destination. The menu featured one full
page of handcrafted beers, many made on
site. We had a friendly waitress who was happy to describe the many unique beers.
One way to sample four varieties, is by choosing the monthly featured flight, at
a cost of $6.00. This month’s offering included: Red Trolley Ale, Fullsuit Belgian
Brown Ale, Pintail Pale Ale, and Tower 10 IPA. One of our brave dining companions
volunteered to be the beer taster. Her favorite of the four beers was the Belgian
Brown Ale, and she said she would definitely order it again.
The flip side of the menu had an interesting assortment of appetizers, salads,
burgers, sandwiches and heartier main dishes. The Fish and Chips at $14.95 was a
three piece order of lightly battered cod, with a stack of perfectly seasoned French
fries, and a broccoli slaw salad.
Our dedicated beer sampler, put down her glass long enough to tuck into a
Cubano sandwich. This hand shaped turkey patty was topped with a slice of Black
Forest ham, fried Swiss, pickled zucchini and
onions, lettuce and jerk sauce, also served
with the seasoned French fries.
Our third diner selected the Mesquite
Chicken sandwich which included a grilled
chicken breast, avocado, bacon, white
cheddar tomato, lettuce, tomato, and a spicy
chili aioli, with house-made chips on the
side.
The Karl Strauss location was formerly a Mexican restaurant, but has been
completely remodeled in an industrial chic motif. A glass-walled room holds the
massive stainless steel brewing tanks, a large screened in patio offers ample outdoor
seating, and the roomy interior offers a multitude of large screen televisions where
sporting events can be viewed.
Each month special promotions pairing beer and appetizers are featured.
Thursdays nights are called Cask Night Thursdays, where small batches and special
brews are sold at $4.00 for a cask. Friday nights a large bottle called a “growler”
may be filled with a beer of your
choice for $5.00. The waitress said
these weekly events bring large crowds
of eager tasters. Sounds like fun!
The Temecula Wine Country has
some stiff competition, and local beer
afficianados have a new place to
discover.

Oldies But Goodies
The History of Mother’s Day
The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in
1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton,
West Virginia. She then began a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a
recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful
in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by
the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other countries and it is now
celebrated all over the world. In this tradition, each person offers a
gift, card, or remembrance toward their mothers, grandmothers, and/
or maternal figure on Mother's Day.
Various observances honoring mothers existed in America
during the 1870s and the 1880s, but these never had resonance
beyond the local level. Jarvis never mentioned Julia Ward Howe's
attempts in the 1870s to establish a "Mother's Day for Peace", nor any
connection to the Protestant school celebrations that included
"Children's Day" amongst others. Neither did she mention the
traditional festival of Mothering Sunday.Jarvis always said that the
creation was hers alone.
