Overnight delivery of assessments is no longer possible
Shareholders who have been paying monthly assessments by check or through their bank’s bill pay service have enjoyed the option of dropping off their payments at the GRF Accounting Office and having them overnighted to the payment processing center. That overnight delivery service is no longer being provided.
This doesn’t impact residents who:
• signed up for direct debit through the GRF Accounting office or make cash payments for their monthly assessments.
This impacts residents who:
• pay their monthly assessments by writing a check or using their bank’s bill-pay service.
Frequently Asked Questions
• What are assessments?
Assessments are payments due the first of every month, which include Mutual and GRF assessments, and, if applicable, Spectrum basic cable charge. For people who live in Mutuals 1-16, assessments also include monthly property tax and Orange County user fees.
• I pay my assessments in cash. Does this impact me?
No. You can still bring cash payments to the GRF Accounting office. Assessment payments are due on the first of the month and considered late after the 10th of the month.
• Can I still drop off my Edison, Spectrum, Frontier and Verizon bills at the GRF Accounting Office?
Yes. Spectrum, Frontier and Verizon payments will still be mailed, courtesy of GRF. Edison payments will continue to be processed by the GRF Accounting Office.
• Does this change when assessments payments need to be received?
No. Assessments continue to be due on the first of the month, with a 10-day grace period. This means payments must be received at the payment center by the 10th of the month.
• What about payments for service work orders and other bills received from my Mutual or GRF?
Only the monthly assessment payments are impacted. Other bills from Mutuals or the GRF can be brought to the GRF Accounting Office for processing.
• Who decided to discontinue the overnight delivery?
The overnight delivery service was provided by the Mutuals’ bank. The bank is no longer providing the service.
• Why am I being asked to mail my assessment payment?
Without the overnight service, there is no way for GRF to monitor or guarantee a payment sent from the Accounting Office will arrive at the payment servicing center. To maintain transparency regarding this, GRF is advising shareholders to mail their assessment payments directly to the payment servicing center or set up direct debit by visiting the Accounting Office.
• Where should my check be sent?
It is best to use your monthly coupon and the envelope provided with the coupons to mail checks. Make sure the address (PO Box 60017, City of Industry, CA 91716-0041) is showing in the envelope’s address window.
• What if I pay through my bank’s bill-pay service?
The bank cannot send payments electronically to Mutuals. Therefore, the bank will move the payment amount from your account to the bank’s checking account, and cut a check from their account on your behalf. They will mail the check to the address you provided, so make sure they have the correct PO box. Make your payment payable to your Mutual, and reference either (1) your full account number as on your coupons, or (2) your Mutual and unit number. Accounting recommends signing up for direct debit to ensure timely posting of payments.
• How do I sign up for direct debit?
Sign up for direct debit by visiting the GRF Accounting Office. You will need a pre-printed copy of a check from the bank account you will be using for the direct debit. If you do not have a pre-printed check, you will need a letter from your bank on the bank’s letterhead providing the correct routing number and account number.
• Can I pick the date the direct debit will come out of my bank account?
No. Direct debits are processed at one time for all shareholders. Your bank account will be debited on the fifth of the month, or the next business day if the fifth falls on a weekend or holiday.
• I mail my payment to the processing center. Why does it take so long for my check to clear the bank?
GRF has no control over the services provided by the U.S. Postal Service. GRF is not responsible for any mail delivery delays.
It strongly advises residents to set up direct deposit through the GRF Accounting Office to ensure safe and timely assessment payment processing.
LW’s favorite country band will take stage tonight
TERRY OTTE & ABILENE
7:30 p.m. | July 7
Amphitheater Stage
Admission: Free
LW favorite Terry Otte & Abilene will perform a concert of classic country and rockabilly tonight.
This is the band’s second Amphitheater appearance.
Last year, it kicked off the first season since the community’s emergence from a pandemic that canceled the 2020 show season.
Last week’s open-air concert at the 2,500-seat Leisure World Amphitheater drew a full house, and residents brought food and drink for pre-show picnicking and socializing. Many also ate grilled fare from Koffel’s, which will have a truck there tonight for pre-event dining.
Terry Otte & Abilene is Leisure World’s No. 1 country rockabilly band, going strong for almost 20 years. Terry Otte leads Abilene and is featured on vocals and guitar.
Otte shares singing duties with Tina Schaffer and members include guitarist Rod Anderson, guitar synthesizer and pianist Jim Long; bassist Doug Decker and drummer Jim Greer.
Abilene concerts feature great rockabilly and classic country songs such as “Silver Wings,” “These Boots are Made for Walking” and “Tulsa Time.”
Masks are not required at this outdoor venue but are recommended.
Non-resident guests are welcome and must be accompanied by residents.
Minibus service is available before and after shows.
GOLDEN RAIN FOUNDATION
Introducing Jessica Sedgwick, LW’s new executive director
by Ruth Osborn
managing editor
Jessica Sedgwick is a trail blazer of the best kind. She knew at 6 that she wanted to be a CEO. She’s worked hard to harvest an impressive crop of credentials and experience to give her—and Leisure World, now that she is the GRF executive director—a firm managerial foundation.
She acknowledges that overseeing nonprofit HOAs is not everyone’s dream, but it’s a career that exactly fits her strengths and talents.
She is forward thinking, people-oriented, positive and the epitome of “can-do.” A restaurant in LW? It’s possible. Technology innovations? Absolutely. More on-site resources? Yes, yes and yes. To Sedgwick, everything is attainable, and that sets her apart.
This determination to achieve results permeates how she runs her domain. She is a robust communicator, already reaching out to all factions of LW, including residents, GRF and Mutual Board members, and her staff of 170.
In her first week, she introduced herself at the Sunshine Club’s 60th Anniversary of LW dinner-dance. On June 30, she took to the Amphitheater stage to say hello to more than 2,000 LWers attending opening night concert, and she’s been to a plethora of GRF and Mutual meetings, including the annual orientation meeting June 29.
She has already begun to oversee ongoing projects and those to come, such as the fate of the Mini Farm space, and is
reviewing the nuts and bolts of financials, insurance and policies and procedures.
Sedgwick is well-prepared to handle the many tasks on her desk.
She is a certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA), the only international program designed exclusively for managers of homeowner associations. She also holds a credential as Association Management Specialist (AMA). The GRF recruited her from San Bernadino County’s Ontario Ranch, where she was the general manager. Ontario Ranch is California’s top-selling master-planned development.
Sedgwick, a second-generation UCLA graduate and Bruins’ fan, has qualified to take an examination to earn a Professional Community Association Manager (PCAM) credential. The PCAM designation is the highest professional recognition available nationwide to leaders who specialize in community association management.
In her new position, she will supervise a team of dedicated GRF employees who maintain miles of streets and infrastructure, operate the LW Library, a newspaper, Security force, a 2,500-seat Amphitheater and multiple clubhouses in this mile-square community.
She has inherited many new improvements. Since 2019, Leisure World has upgraded and enlarged its fitness facility and completely rebuilt its swimming pool. It also built a second performance venue at Veterans Plaza, an Internet-wired learning center and game room in Clubhouse 3, and renovated arts studios and the woodshop.
Leisure World Seal Beach was the first of Ross and Alona Cortese’s Leisure World senior communities and nationally promoted as offering country club living for active seniors. Sedgwick represents another first. She’s the first woman to be appointed to the top post in the community’s 60-year history.
For her, Leisure World’s biggest draw is “everything you get living here,” she said, “Professional management, maintenance, landscaping, a pharmacy, health care, amenities, and still, you have your space.”
She looks forward to serving as the executive who fosters the best of Leisure World, helping the community thrive as a coastal oasis for all its active golden agers.

On June 25, several clubs and organizations representing in the Leisure World Korean American community hosted a dinner and entertainment in Clubhouse 4 to honor all veterans who served during the Korean War. Veterans (photo above) were honored with speeches, dinner and dancing (photo below) by the Korean Folk Dance Club, which performed several songs in beautiful traditional Korean dress. The event celebrated the unity between the U.S. and Korea, and the gratitude of Korean residents for the sacrifice of American armed forces personnel, especially during the Korean War. Grace Kim (photo center) paid tribute to veterans in her remarks at the podium. Veterans also received gifts in appreciation for their service.
Election Canvassing Allowed
In this election year, concerned LW residents are reporting that representatives of both political parties are knocking on registered voters’ doors to get out the vote.
But what are the laws and rules for Leisure World as a gated community?
In 2002, the Supreme Court struck down a law that banned canvassing without a permit, even in gated communities. The ruling superseded any state or local law or the rules of any HOA community-—gated or not.
Thus, the GRF cannot legally keep citizens from entering this community and going door-to-door.
Political canvassers need to advise Security in advance of the time they will be canvassing to allow gate access.
There is a difference between soliciting and canvassing. Citizens canvassing for political reasons are not selling items or asking for donations.
It is likely that canvassers will be active through Election Day, and they are not breaking the law by knocking on your door.
Angels vs. Texas Rangers Bus Trip
The GRF Recreation Department is hosting a baseball bus trip to see the Texas Rangers vs. the Angeles at Angels Stadium in Anaheim on July 29. Game time is at 6:38 p.m. It will be Mike Trout tank top giveaway night, and the Angels will celebrate throwback uniform weekend with the team wearing retro garb.
The bus will depart Leisure World just after 4:45 p.m.
Tickets are $60 and include bus transportation to and from the game. For more information and to sign up, call (562) 431-6586, ext. 324.
GRF Aquatic Center Opened July 2
The Orange County Health Care Agency approved the final permit required before opening the new GRF Aquatic Center last week. The pool and spa opened July 2 to rave reviews and a capacity crowd.
Here’s what you need to know to get ready for a summer of poolside fun:
• The pool is open daily from 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m.
• GRF ID card is required for admittance; residents only.
• Limited seating until pool furniture arrives; people may bring their own lounge chairs.
• Showering is required. Showers are available in shower rooms and on the deck outside.
For more information, contact kathyt@lwsb.com.
NOCE Class Registration
The registration procedure for North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE) classes in LW is changing as of the upcoming fall semester.
Students will be able to register in person or online beginning Aug. 2.
An in-person registration event will be held in Clubhouse 4 starting at 9 a.m.
Students must be able to sign into myGateway (mg.nocccd.edu) with their Banner IDs and a password prior to attending the registration event to ensure they can easily register for classes.
Those who do not yet have a password or do not remember it should visit myGateway and select the “Forgot Password” option to create a new one.
Prospective students who may be interested in attending classes this fall should visit this link to apply: tinyurl.com/4e7x2uap.
Once they have completed a student application, which takes about 20 minutes, they should receive an email from NOCE within two business days containing a Banner ID.
Once the Banner ID is assigned, students should sign into myGateway to ensure they are prepared for class registration on Aug. 2.
A list of fall classes will be available later in this month. Additional registration information and instructions can be found at the Leisure World Library.
Library staff are able to troubleshoot any issues residents may encounter regarding their Banner IDs, myGateway, or any other NOCE-related matters.
Visit the library in-person Monday-Saturday from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. to receive help from staff.

North Gate Road is Closed
North Gate Road closed July 5 for approximately three months to allow crews to install a new 18-inch sewer line underneath I-405. The sewer line will connect to an existing sewer line under Old Ranch Parkway, across the freeway.
Sewer work is anticipated 7 a.m.-4 p.m. on weekdays.
In a separate job, crews will resume pile installation as early as Monday, July 11, from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. in preparation for the new soundwall. Equipment may be mobilized as early as 6 a.m., and some activities may occur from 9 p.m.-6 a.m. as needed.
This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues.
North Gate Road will be off limits to all vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. During the closure, people will be detoured to Golden Rain Road to enter and exit Leisure World.
Access to the Seal Beach Rehabilitation Center and other businesses along North Gate Road will be maintained throughout the closure.
Security Report-—RV Lot Theft
Leisure World Security reports that catalytic converters were stolen from three recreational vehicles parked in the RV Lot, one reported on June 12 and two on June 18.
The thefts, which were reported to Seal Beach police, were well planned, according to reports. A ladder was found propped on the exterior of LW’s perimeter wall. Unidentified culprits apparently climbed the ladder, removed the spikes on top of the wall and used the ladder of a parked RV to access the lot.
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, catalytic converter theft claims in 2020 skyrocketed by 325% in a single year. And as of March 2022, certain metals inside catalytic converters can bring as much as $20,000 per ounce.
Coyote Sightings
According to Security, there have only been a half dozen reported coyote sightings in the last two months here, but Leisure World residents are encouraged to stay vigilant in protecting their small pets.
Coyotes are generally reclusive but those who have adapted to urban environments are often accustomed to people and don’t feel threatened.
They hang around because of an abundance of food and have been known to carry off unleashed dogs and cats. Bold coyotes should not be tolerated or enticed but instead given the clear message that they are not welcome, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
Hazing
Hazing is a method that makes use of deterrents to move an animal out of an area or discourage an undesirable behavior or activity. Hazing can help maintain a coyote’s fear of humans and deter them from backyards and play spaces.
Methods of Hazing
• Using a variety of different hazing tools is critical so that coyotes don’t get used to redundant or single stimulus devices, sounds and actions.
• Yelling and waving your arms while approaching the coyote
• Using noisemakers including voice, whistles, air horns, bells, “shaker” cans full of marbles or pennies, pots, lid or pie pans banged together
• Using projectiles such as sticks, small rocks, cans, tennis balls or rubber balls
The simplest method of hazing a coyote involves being loud and large:
• Stand tall, wave your arms and yell at the coyote, approaching them if necessary until they run away as demonstrated in this coyote hazing video.
• If a coyote has not been hazed before, they may not immediately run away when you yell at them. If this happens, you may need to walk toward the coyote and increase the intensity of your hazing.
• The coyote may run away, but then stop after a distance and look at you. It is important to continue to go after the coyote until they completely leaves the area. People may need to use different tactics, such as noisemakers, stomping your feet or spraying the coyote with a hose to get them to leave.
Dog-Walking Tools
There are several tools that you can carry with you while walking your dog that can be used to repel coyotes. These include:
• Homemade noisemakers.
• Whistle or small air horn (there are small air horn necklaces people can purchase).
• Squirt guns.
• Sticks or other objects to throw toward (but not at) the coyote
After someone has successfully hazed a coyote, it may return. Continue to haze them; it usually takes only one or two times to haze away a coyote for good.

The GRF now has a full team of social worker advocates on site to help residents navigate challenges and changes associated with aging. Member Resource and Assistance Liaison Robann Arshat is coordinating the effort. Representatives from Orange County’s, Council on Aging; Alzheimer’s OC (photo above) and Adult Protective Services hosted a meet-and-greet event on June 22 to introduce the community to the new resource. Alzheimer’s OC is here to help with a variety of programs at no cost. With 40 years of helping the people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, its services and programs help those struggling with memory loss. It also helps the caregivers, families and friends with the daily challenges they face caring and interacting with those who suffer from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s OC offers education, information, emotional support, resources and other help to ease the journey ahead.

Letter to the Editor
Editor:
Regarding Pat Kruger’ s letter (June 30) blaming the GOP for lack of gun control, President Obama had a Democrat majority in the House and the Senate for two years and did nothing to enact serious gun control.
Just the opposite, the only gun control laws he signed actually expanded the rights of gun owners.
Actions speak louder than words. The Democrat Party loves to talk about gun control, but refuses to walk the talk.

From Service Maintenance
GRF Service Maintenance has seen an increase in blocked pipes in the community.
Residents can help prevent stoppages:
• Never flush diapers, feminine hygiene products, paper towels or cleaning wipes down the toilet. The only things that should be flushed are the three Ps: poo, pee and toilet paper.
• Never pour fats, oil or grease into kitchen sinks. Grease adheres to the inside of sewer pipes. It can build up and block the pipe, causing an overflow. Fats, lard, oil, butter, food scraps, sauce and dairy products should be disposed of in the trash.
Tips for proper disposal
• Save cooking grease in an old coffee can or cardboard milk container. Once cooled, dispose of it in the trash.
• Throw coffee grounds away in the garbage or add them to your mulch pile.
• Use a screen or drain-grate to cover the drain’s opening and minimize
To keep pipes clean, pour one cup of vinegar down the drain and let it sit for 30 minutes; then chase it down with very hot water. Vinegar is an efficient cleaner. It contains acetic acid, which acts as an excellent organic solvent in removing organic buildup of crud in pipes.
Sink strainers are available through the GRF Purchasing Dept. at the Copy and Supply Center in Building 5.
Protect Pipes with Refresh Wipes
To combat a growing incidence of blocked sewer pipes largely due to flushable wipes, a product called Refresh Liquid Wipes is now available at the Copy & Supply Center in Building 5. Wipes cost $6.81, including tax.
Most wipes labeled “flushable” are not biodegradable and cause major sewer line stoppages, but Refresh is sprayed on toilet tissue, turning it into a flushable wipe.
The toilet paper foam is eco-friendly, good for sensitive skin, and cleanses and soothes using witch hazel and aloe. It is alcohol- and paraben-free and plumbing safe.
Users have noted people may need more toilet paper to prevent deterioration during use.

Sunshine Club
GRF president, executive director were special guests at 60th event
The Sunshine Club celebrated an “An Evening in the Tropics” in Clubhouse 2 to mark LW’s 60th anniversary on June 24.
Club President Anna Derby welcomed special guests Marsha Gerber, new GRF Board president, and Jessica Sedgwick, the new GRF executive director. They were greeted with loud applause.
More than 200 people attended the event, which featured an Asian-tropical dinner served by 16 volunteers from Joyful Line Dance Club and Filipino Association of LW. Without them, the club wouldn’t have be able to host the event.
Servers donned apron, facemasks and gloves to serve over 200 plates of food within 30 minutes, giving guests plenty of time to dance to the classic rock music of The Emperors.
During breaks, deejay Ed Bolos played line dance music that drew more than 20 dancers to the floor.
This event marked the only event celebrating LW’s 60th anniversary. The GRF sponsored the Emperors, which is also celebrating its 60th anniversary.
The band has been a favorite in the Long Beach-Orange County area for many years.
Bowing to nostalgia, the club decided to charge only $25, the same price people paid at the 50th Anniversary celebration 10 years ago.
And a banner used at the 50th anniversary celebration was displayed on the back of the wall.
The Sunshine Club thanks the people who attended, food servers and everyone who checked tickets at the door.

Once again, the Israelites complain about not having the food they had in Egypt and HaShem punishes them by sending serpents that bite people. In ancient times, serpents represented both toxic death and healing. The Israelites who had been bitten were instructed to view a copper serpent mounted on a staff and they would be healed. As they continued their journey, they fought and won several battles, with HaShem’s help, until they reached Moab, the land across the Jordan from Jericho.
All Beit HaLev services use special prayerbooks, “Lev L’Lev,” which include excerpts from the Reform Siddur, “Mishkan HaT’filah.” Printed versions of the prayerbooks will be available for sale at in-person services.
Beit HaLev and Rabbi Galit-Shirah are part of the Union of Jewish Universalist Clergy and Communities. It is progressive in thought and traditional in liturgy. Everyone who seeks a path to the Divine is welcome, and Beit Halev doesn’t believe in labels.
To request a membership form, call Rabbi Galit-Shirah at (562) 715-0888 or email duets@icloud.com. Contributions to Beit HaLev are welcome and can be sent to Beit HaLev, P.O. Box 2279, Seal Beach, CA 90740.
Redeemer Lutheran
In the book of Psalms, there are lyrical poems, hymns and prayers that help believers see and praise God in all circumstances. Often the psalmists encourage people to see God’s hand throughout course of the days set by nature’s boundaries.
Beginning with the first verse of Psalm 50: “The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.”
Everyone is called to stop and listen to God daily. Faithful ancestors said daily prayers that included the psalms as the first words they recited in the morning and last words before resting their heads at night. Pausing at daybreak and closing the day with appreciation for God’s presence helps keep believers’ hearts and minds right with God.
As summer calls people outdoors for refreshment, LWers are invited to stop by to see Redeemer Lutheran’s handprinted scenes on the front of its sanctuary at 13564 St. Andrew’s Drive. There is also an outdoor chapel that is available 24/7 for prayer and contemplation.
LWers are invited to join Redeemer Lutheran at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday for worship with music and Communion.
For more information about the church’s services or outreach within the community, call (562) 598-8697.
Community Church
Susan Cottrell once said, “Before religion made it all about what we believe, Jesus was all about how we love.” This week, Community Church will look at Colossians 1:1-14 and Luke 10:25-37 during its service on Sunday, July 3 at 9:50 a.m.
Community Church is often called “the friendly church” and welcomes people of all backgrounds. It invites new people to come early for a cup of coffee before worship to get a feel for the community and stay for award-winning music and a powerful message.
Due to COVID cases rising, people who want to attend the in-person worship service must provide proof of vaccination and wear masks.
Those who are in need without another way to address it, can call (562) 431-2503.
Christian Women’s Fellowship & Bible Study

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Meetings for the Atherton Ward are held at 6500 E. Atherton St., Long Beach. Sacrament service is held every Sunday at 9 a.m. This is followed in the second hour by Sunday School on the first and third Sundays; Relief Society and Elders Quorum meetings are on the second and fourth Sundays. Primary classes for children are held every Sunday during the second hour.
Members who are unable to attend Sacrament services in person can request a link from Bishop Mike Gravley at (562) 212-8681.
The course of study is the Old Testament; personal reading should be those chapters in 2 Kings not covered in the study. The reading for the week of July 11 covers 2 Kings 17–25.
Despite the prophet Elisha’s impressive ministry, the spirituality of the Northern Kingdom of Israel kept declining. Wicked kings promoted idolatry, and war and apostasy abounded. Finally, the Assyrian Empire conquered and scattered the ten tribes of Israel.
The Southern Kingdom of Judah wasn’t doing any better. Idolatry was widespread. Scriptural accounts mention two righteous kings: Hezekiah and Josiah. What stands out with these two kings is the power of faith.”
2 Kings 18:22 says to “trust in the Lord our God.” The “Come, Follow Me,” handbook asks believers to think about how the power of faith can impact them.
LW Baptist
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble; he cares for those who trust in him” from Nahum1:7 is the focus for LW Baptist at the Sunday worship service in Clubhouse 4 at 10 a.m.

The Christian Women’s Bible study group meets on Mondays at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 6. The Wednesday Energizers group will meet in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, to read about the chief shepherd in Psalm 24. For more information, call (562) 430-8598.
First Christian Church
First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors. People are welcome to worship and explore God’s word together “that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine” (Romans 1:12).
Message From the Pastor
In 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, the apostle Paul issues a strong reminder and vivid explanation to followers of Christ in Thessalonica about the deceitful antichrist: “The coming of the lawless one is according to workings of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish.”
The revealing of the lawless one, or the antichrist, will come with power, miracles and lying wonders according to the working of Satan. But the key is it will all be in unrighteous deception among those who perish. This display of power, miracles and lying wonders is used to lead an unbelieving world away from the saving grace of the true messiah, Jesus Christ. Verse 10 says, “because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Truth leads to life, deceptive lies lead to death.
Weekend Services
Sunday services from 9:30-10:45 a.m. are traditional, with hymnal music led by Pat Kogak at the piano. This Sunday the First Christian Choir will sing “Kneel at the Cross.”

Assembly of God
Service/Gathering Times: Assembly of God meets Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. The Hymn Sing is held on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Lobby.
Sermon for the week: World events can be confusing and upsetting. The news, presented from contradicting viewpoints, add to the uncertainty and creates anxiety. What has happened to the idyllic society the “Leisure World Generation” grew up in? That is the same question the prophet Habakkuk’s contemporaries were asking. Violence, evil, misery, destruction, arguing, fighting, wickedness, lack of justice and government corruption were issues grieving Habakkuk.
Pastor Chuck Franco will continue his series on the Old Testament prophets on Sunday, July 10, from Habakkuk 1:1-4. The parallels to present day and the insight, comfort and inspiration gained from studying this book is significant to all Christians.
Bible Study: “Wild Places,” by George DeJong, is a video series filmed in the Holy Land. The locations help illuminate the teaching of navigating the wild, rough places in life. Pastor Chuck leads the guided discussion questions on Wednesdays in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 10 a.m.
Contact: More information can be found at www.lwassemblyofgod.com.
Those who would like prayer, personal contact from a pastor, or a DVD of the Sunday morning sermon can contact pastors Chuck and Sheryl Franco by calling (562) 357-4360 or emailing pastorchuck@lwassemblyofgod.com. Carolyn van Aalst is also available to receive prayer requests at (562) 343-8424.

Faith Christian Assembly
Faith Christian Assembly had a representative from the Senior Protection and Financial Abuse Specialist Team of Orange County from the Council on Aging present at the church to help educate members about the steps they can take to protect themselves against fraud and financial abuse. The key to self-protection is to be able to recognize the characteristics of a scam:
•Unsolicited contact from a stranger or seemingly trusted source.
•An offer of something that is valuable.
•A request for personal and/or financial information.
•Pressure to act quickly or else lose out on an opportunity.
A scripture from the book of Jeremiah is a reminder that the society of biblical times faced similar challenges,“For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.
“Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush,” Jeremiah 6:13, 15 (ESV).
These words speak the unchanging human nature. The tools and inventions may have changed but not the heart of man. This is why the Bible still speaks to so many today.
At Faith Christian Assembly, people will hear an inspiring and timely Bible-based message every week.
Faith Christian Assembly’s weekly Sunday service times are at 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The Wednesday morning Bible Study is at 11, and the Grief Share meets weekly on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Garden Room. The last meeting for the Grief Share is July 21.

Senior Peace Club
Videos to be shown in CH 3

In an effort to maintain optimism and energy, several videos will be shown about Juneteenth and the woman, now in her 90s, who fought the good fight for years and was present when President Joe Biden signed the bill making Juneteenth a national holiday. Her life should be an inspiration to all seniors.

People need to renew their energy and sense of optimism about the country and where it’s headed.

Democratic Club
by Mary Larson
LW contributor
July will be a month of transition for the SBLW Democratic Club. Plans are underway for the possibility of holding monthly hybrid membership meetings beginning on July 20.
The goal is to provide an opportunity for all members to participate in club meetings, those who feel comfortable meeting face-to-face indoors as well as for those who don’t. Masks and proof of vaccination will be a requirement for those who attend the meetings in person. Speakers will participate in the meetings by Zoom for the time being.
The program for the July 20 meeting will center around issues of special concern. This will include the proposed equal rights constitutional amendment as well as a number of recent controversial Supreme Court decisions. Of special interest to members will be an update on Californian’s response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. More detailed information—including where the meeting will be held and how members and supporters can login via Zoom or phone will be available the week before.
In the meantime, LW Democratic Club leaders are continuing to review the Primary Election final results coming from the Orange County Registrar of Voters. The total voter turnout in the county remains at 35.2%. The turnout in Leisure World was almost twice that amount.
Over 60% of Leisure World potential voters voted in the Primary Election. In the race for Congress, Democrat Katie Porter received 2,268 votes. Republican Scott Baugh—who Porter will run against in November—received 1,189 votes. Other Republicans running for this position received 859 votes.
These statistics mean that 2,892 eligible Leisure World voters did not vote in this Primary Election. How many of these potential voters participate in the November election—as well as how they vote—could make the difference as to who represents LWers’ interests in Washington beginning in 2023.
•••
Thanks once again to all the volunteers who participated in making the Democratic Club’s outreach to Leisure World Democrats and no preferred party voters during the Primary season so successful. There is always more to be done. To find out information about how to get involved in the General Election, email lwsbdemocraticclub@gmail.com.
Weather permitting, the SBLW Democratic Club’s Hospitality and Information Booth will be open in the parking lot outside Clubhouse 6 on from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.
For more in-depth reporting about plans for the upcoming General Election, as well as information about the club’s programs for the coming months, LW Democrats and no preferred party supporters can subscribe to the club’s newsletter. This newsletter is published twice a month. There is no charge for subscribing. Email democraticclubsblw@gmail.com or call editor Mary Larson at (562) 296-8521 to subscribe. People are asked to include their full name, address and phone number, as well as party affiliation.

Thanks to the dedication of these volunteers, 546 returns were prepared (including 120 Married Filing Joint returns), 132 questions were answered from other residents, and 626 telephone calls were fielded. All of the volunteers are commended for their hard work and dedication to the tax program.
LW Birthday
Violet (Vi) Schwabenland from Mutual 6, will celebrate her 99th birthday on July 12 with her family and neighbors.
Born in 1923, Vi was an only child growing up in Los Angeles during the Great Depression, but she always loved to dance. Vi met her husband Harold at a dance hall after the war, and it was love at first sight.
They raised their sons, Wayne and Craig, in Rossmoor and lived in Desert Hot Springs before moving to LW 20 years ago.
Vi and Harold were married nearly 70 years and shared a passion for dancing, travel, tennis, golf, bridge and camping.
Vi worked for Robert Young at Columbia Pictures and for the Los Alamitos School District before retiring. She is a voracious reader and loves to laugh and play bridge. Vi keeps herself busy and optimistic.
Vi is one in a million and a great inspiration to her neighbors. Along with her two sons she has four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Her family and friends wish her good health, lots of laughter and the best of everything.

Guys & Gals Tournament
The second Leisure World’s Guys & Gals Tournament of the month was held on June 29 at LW’s Turtle Lake Golf Course. Three flights of a one man, one woman team, participated for best net scores, eight circle holes (within a 5-foot radius), and two closest to the pin challenges. This week Young Joon scored a hole-in-one and will share the prize money with her playing partner, Joon Sup Yoon.
A total of 31 teams participated throughout the morning and into the early afternoon. At the opening 7:30 a.m. tee time the weather was a relatively cool but humid. The sun came out around 8:30, and the temperatures rose quickly.
Turtle Lake course conditions haven’t changed much this past month. The greens are still weedy, causing bumpy conditions, which makes putting erratic and caused difficulty in judging speed. The tees are showing wear with no appropriate divot repair material available. Even so, all but three teams posted a net score under par. There were also 37 birdies and 18 circle hole winners.
All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-9, B Flight handicaps are 10-12 and C Flight handicaps are 13-18.
A Flight: First place: Glenn Barry and Karen Mendon, an exceptional 13 under 41; Second: Kyoo Choi and Bong Choi, a remarkable 9 under 44; Third: Hyon Shin and Sang An, a terrific 8 under 46; Fourth: Gene Archambault and Stella Yoon, a nice 7 under 47; Fifth: tie between Mike Mayfield and Alison Kim and Steve Walker and Susie Kim, a super 6 under 48; Sixth: Dong Kim and Devora Kim, a hard-earned 5 under 49.
B Flight: First place: Dale Williamson and Mary Greig, a very well-played 7 under 47; Second: tie between Young Lee and Hae Lee and Won Song and Jane Song, a great 6 under 48; Third: Byron Schweitzer and Bert Thompson, a super 5 under 49; Fourth: tie between Dave LaCascia and Liz Meripol and Dennis Jensen and Marilyn Hewitt, a sweet 4 under 50.
C Flight: First place: James Farr and Sandy Derouin, a remarkable 9 under 45; Second: Brian Tivnan and Patty Littrell, an excellent 5 under 49; Third: Rolando Ramirez and Nina DeRosa, a terrific 4 under 50.
Closest to the pin on the par 3 seventh hole: Mike Mayfield and Mary Anne Moore. Bob Barnum and Hae Lee on the par 3 sixteenth hole.
The next Guys and Gal’s Tournament will be on July 20, then every month on the third Wednesday, plus the fifth Wednesday if there is one.
All golfers are responsible for their tee box divots and ball marks on the greens. Golfers are asked to use the divot repair bottles to fill the divots. Let the gardeners know if the bottles are empty. Turtle Lake’s greens and tees continue to look better, thanks to residents’ help, with much fewer neglected and poorly repaired ball marks. Don’t forget to rake the sand traps after your shot. Leave rakes in bunker with the head facing the green.
Those who are scheduled to play and need to drop out can contact Alan Sewell at (541) 324-8558 or Dave LaCascia at (801) 674-5975 ASAP.

Men’s June 17 and 27 Golf League Results
Eighteen golfers from the Leisure World Golf League contested the 4,000-yard par 62 David L. Baker Executive Golf Course in Fountain Valley on June 17. It was a sunny morning, but with the dampness and humidity expected for an overcast June morning. Baker is a short in length, and as an executive course uniquely has more par 3s than par 4s, and no par 5’s. Its numerous sand traps, small undulating greens and water hazards challenge everyone. With good playing conditions, 12 of the 14 scores were at or under par and the course yielded 11 birdies.
All scores are net (gross minus handicap). A Flight handicaps are 0-19, while B Flight handicaps are 20 and over.
A Flight: First place: Tim Looney, a terrific 9 under 53, plus a birdie; second: Chris Lankford, a well-played 8 under 54, plus two birdies and closest to the pin on the 110-yard par 3 fifteenth hole; third: Jim Goltra, and very good 6 under 56, plus a birdie and fewest putts; fourth: Gary Stivers, a nice 5 under 57, plus a birdie; fifth: tie between Dave LaCascia, with a birdie, and Larry Hillhouse, a hard-earned 4 under 58; sixth: Mark Mallet, 2 under 60 plus two birdies; seventh: tie between Bill McKusky, Clay Fischer and Sam Choi.
B Flight: First place: new-comer William Hillhouse, a well-played 10 under 52, plus two birdies; second: Lowell Goltra, a really nice 6 under 56; third: Bob Munn, a sweet 5 under 57, plus a birdie; fourth: Gene Vesely, a super 5 under 57, plus closest to the pin on the 110-yard par 3 third hole; fifth: Ron Jackson, at 3 under 59, plus fewest putts; sixth: tie between Fujio Norihiro, Digna Vesely and Pat Paternoster.
On June 27, 14 golfers from the Leisure World Golf League played at the 6,000-yard, par 71 Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana. The weather was delightful with sunny and warm conditions. As the morning progressed the temps got warmer until they were in the mid 80s by the end of the round. With the decent playing conditions, it was not unexpected that the course permitted eight of the 14 rounds to be at or under par, but only yielded one birdie.
A Flight: First place: Gary Stivers, a very nice 8 under 63; second: Bill McKusky, a well-played 6 under 65, plus fewest putts; third: Larry Hillhouse, a sweet 5 under 68, plus a birdie; fourth: tie between Dave LaCascia and Chris Lankford, at 1 under 70; fifth: tie between Jim Goltra, Sam Choi, and Clay Fischer. Closest to the pin on both par 3’s was Jim Goltra.
B Flight: First place: Liz Meripol, a really good 9 under 62; second: Digna Vesely, a hard-fought 4 under 67; third: Tom Ross, a sweet even par 71; fourth: Bob Munn, a fine 1 over 72; fifth: tie between, Lowell Goltra and Gene Vesely. Goltra had fewest putts
