8 APRIL PML NEWSADMINISTRATIONGENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGEJOE POWELL – PCAM, CCAM-LS, CMCA, AMS GENERAL MANAGERPG&E POWER LINE UNDERGROUNDING PROJECT UPDATEPG&E staff and their contractors continue to work in our community to plan and prepare for the power line undergrounding project. We are in active communication and coordination with the PG&E team to ensure that the project has the least amount of impact possible on our community members. Our management team met onsite with the PG&E team last month and performed a project walk-through to coordinate our efforts. The first phase of this multi-year project is to underground power lines on Pine Mountain Drive from the Main Gate to just past Casseretto Court by the Marina. They are also performing the same type of work on Elder Lane. PG&E will be actively communicating and coordinating with individual members who will be impacted along the project route. Additionally, we will be putting out messaging from the Association on vehicle travel impacts and other information to the membership. PG&E plans to complete the project by July 1st to ensure that we do not run into any issues with our Independence Day holiday weekend events. We have invited the PG&E reps to attend the April 26th Board meeting to provide more information to the Board and membership and address any questions and concerns at that time.ASSOCIATION INSURANCE PRESENTATION IN APRILMany of us in PML have had our homeowner’s insurance get canceled, non-renewed and/or our premium increase exponentially over the last few years. With the recent, catastrophic losses of more than $250 billion with the LA-area wildfires, insurance rates are expected to increase even further. The minimum projected increase in California homeowners’ insurance is expected to be at least 25%. Given these factors, we have been working with our insurance broker to determine what we can do to mitigate these increases for the Association. As PML nears our insurance renewal time, we have invited our insurance broker to attend the April 26th board meeting to provide the board and membership with an overview of where we were, where we are currently and where we expect to be with our insurance coverages and premium costs for the coming Association renewal period. He will be covering Association fire insurance premium impacts as well as all of our other coverage renewals. All members are welcome to attend to hear this important topic. Please keep in mind that the topic will be related to the insurance coverage that the Association acquires to protect our community assets. It is not a presentation for homes and property owned by individual members. Members should seek advice and coverage from their own brokers and agents.LRPC MEMBER SURVEY REGARDING NEW RECREATION CENTER AND POOL By the time you read this article, the deadline for the PML Long Range Planning Committee Recreation/Pool center survey will have ended. The LRPC is now analyzing the information and the committee will be presenting their findings at a future board or town hall meeting. So why in the world did the Board task the LRPC with conducting this survey? Are they just trying to find new ways to spend our members money? With the projected high cost of fire insurance and other costs, why in the world is the board putting out this survey? Is the board just trying to raise my assessment again? These are some of the questions that a few of our members have asked recently. The purpose of the survey is to gauge if the membership is interested in pursuing a new recreation center that includes a new pool that would be available year-round. Our current swimming pool was constructed in 1971 and is now over-utilized and inadequate for the needs of the membership. Every summer, we see members and guests waiting in line to get in to use our pool. Every year, members complain that the pool is too small and cannot be used year-round for exercise and recreation.e survey is simply a way to determine if the board should move forward with further investigation and planning. ey want to know what members want. A survey is an open and transparent way to gather this feedback. It is not an eort by the board to create a new amenity just so they can raise the annual assessment. It is an information gathering tool to be used in the decision-making process. Members have a say and this is the way we get input. Inevitably, NO new amenity will ever be constructed without the decision being put to a vote of the membership. So please participate in the process. When the topic comes up on a board meeting agenda or town hall meeting, show up and voice your opinion. The board wants to hear from you!GET YOUR PML FACTS FROM THE RIGHT SOURCEJust a reminder that it is important to use ocial methods of communication with the Association if you are looking for factual information or if you have a concern or issue that you wish to convey to the Board or the management team. Our contact information is readily available on the Ocial PML Website at www.pinemountainlake.com and in the monthly PML News Magazine. Posting questions to unocial social media sites may get you a lot of responses from other members and non-members, but you are not reaching the Association team where we can actually assist you. All Ocial PML social media pages display the Ocial PML logo for easy identication. Until next month, wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

APRIL PML NEWS 9ADMINISTRATIONPRESIDENT'SMESSAGEMIKE GUSTAFSON – PMLA BOARD PRESIDENTOn March 8th your Board of Directors hosted a Town Hall meeting at the Lake Lodge. About 35 folks arrived in person and another 12 attended via Zoom.Joe Milani, Fire Safety Coordinator, provided a comprehensive report on all the things that he does to mitigate re danger: defensible space inspections, tree removal permits, real estate inspections that are now required in California, and reports to the ECC department for follow-up.Maintenance Manager Rick Laranchi explained what his employees and contractors do from October to May to create even more defensible space around PML. Rick also provided information on how his department uses herbicides, the cost eectiveness, and safety of use. e 106 miles of road edges get sprayed to reduce vegetation and help keep any road/car re away from homes. After these two presentations the oor was open to any questions relating to the operation of the association. Some of the questions were about use of drones in and around PML, status of PG&E power line undergrounding, how PML is dealing with the Golden Mussel, and the devastating cost of re insurance. Regarding re insurance, the biggest factor is getting and keeping your home with ample defensible space. Unfortunately, trees and bushes are no longer our friends as far as an insurance company is concerned. Many companies simply won’t write policies in our zip code. e Board plans to host a Town Hall meeting every quarter. It’s your opportunity to come with questions and suggestions for your board. e new pool survey closed at the end of March with around 800 responses. Unlike previous pool surveys, there appears to be strong support to proceed to a vote of the membership. A paper ballot vote is expensive but necessary. We will need a quorum of homeowners to respond one way or the other and give direction to the BOD.e cost to build the pool and activity center is not the only expense to consider. We must also know costs to run this new amenity year round. Preliminary numbers for an amenity manager and sta, maintenance costs, utilities, pool supplies, etc. comes in at about $13.00 per homeowner per month. It will be a signicant factor when we vote on the total package. We plan a Town Hall meeting in the near future to present the nal survey numbers, options to pay for the construction and a break-out of costs.As we move closer to spring and good weather the invasive Golden Mussel is an important consideration in the launching of all boats. Michelle Cathey, our Assistant General Manager, attended California Fish and Game classes on this topic and has created a launching process: launching will require a solid reservation, ad hoc launching will not be allowed. Each boat will be inspected carefully by trained staff and if there is any question or concerns you will be asked to power wash your boat and let it dry for two weeks before being allowed onto the lake. We need to protect our lake.Spring has sprung, let’s have some fun in the coming nice days!GOVERNING DOCUMENT ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS FEBRUARY 2025Courtesy Notices 33Notice of Non-Compliance 9Final Notice of violation 3Fines Assessed 8 Member Service 592GUEST & RENTERS HANDBOOK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE!You can now view or print the Guest and Renters Handbook from the PML Website.

10 APRIL PML NEWSOur team will begin ramping up our routine residential re safety inspections. If you would like a re safety inspection of your home or property, please contact us to set up an appointment. Although beautiful this time of year it is imperative to stay vigilant and remember that we live in the Wildland Urban Interface and with it the responsibility to maintain your defensible space and prepare for the re season ahead of us. Owning a home in Pine Mountain Lake provides the satisfaction of living in a great community. e local rules and restrictions, which you became acquainted with when you purchased a home, are important in maintaining ownership here. I would like to highlight one rule that is occasionally overlooked or forgotten. “April is a reminder that life is a beautiful ever-renewing cycle” E.E. Cummings Wow, April is here and the busy season is rapidly approaching. Responsibilities have shifted dramatically for both teams. While March was a month with Major projects that included a 36” culvert replacement on Wells Fargo. is culvert was 90’ long and stretched from one side of the road to the other with utilities incumbering the pipe in the middle of the road and an abandon communication pole on the far end. e belly of this culvert was rotted out the entire length of the pipe in addition when PG&E was setting a new pole the mistakenly punched an 18” hole in the end of the culvert. Interestingly enough we were alerted to the deciencies to the culvert by a home owner who lives nearby. The second signicant project was the move and • ARTICLE VIII, SECTION 1, Use of Lots (k). – No existing trees with a diameter greater than ve inches shall be destroyed, uprooted, cut down or removed from any lot without rst obtaining a tree-cutting permit from the Association. is rule can be found in Pine Mountain Lakes Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and Declaration of Restrictions handbook “flash drive” you received with your new owner information packet. For any tree over ve inches in diameter please ll out a Tree Removal Request form found on our website at https://www.pinemountainlake.com/tree-removal-request-2-2/. If this rule is not followed and trees are removed prior to PMLA approval monetary nes and penalties may result. Pine Mountain Lake has experienced updating of the audio video room at the Lake Lodge which includes the complete rewiring of the audio feed, the addition of automatic TV mounts and the moving of the storage closet closer to the board area. is was all in an eort to improve overall quality of the Board meeting experience for our members.Moving forward the tasks to be undertaken for the month of April, the Facilities crew will be busy prepping the beaches, moving sand and bringing the area up to recreational standards. e team in addition will be addressing the swim areas replacing cables and ropes, repairing swim docks and updating signage. In the second half of the month the team will be fully engaged striping parking lots painting stops and bars and repainting handicap emblems in designated parking areas.The Buildings team will be equally engaged, as the weather improves touch up painting of all the amenities will begin with initial focus being on the seasonal recreational ADMINISTRATIONFIRE SAFETYJOE MILANI – FIRE SAFETY COORDINATORADMINISTRATIONMAINTENANCE MATTERSRICK LAFFRANCHI – MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS MANAGERmajor tree mortality due to drought and bark beetle; because of that, preserving live trees is of the utmost importance. Please remember to test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors once a month and replace any faulty alarms or low batteries immediately.Lastly, re safety inspections will continue in Pine Mountain Lake. Remember a re safe community begins with you! If you would like an inspection of your property, or you are looking to educate yourself more, our re safety team would love to help. If you have questions or concerns regarding re safety, you can contact Amanda Birmingham at 1-209-990-5263 or email her at Inspector@pinemountainlake.com. I can be reached at 1-209-990-5260 or Email fsc@pinemountainlake.com.facilities primarily the Marina Café, Marina store and Marina restrooms in addition that amenity will be aerated to help bring proper absorption back to the lawn the irrigation will be brought back on line, tuning of the 100-gpm variable speed pump will take place and adjustment will take place to the nearly 75 high volume sprinkler heads will be performed. Landscaping throughout the association will be brought back to life with irrigation work and replanting taking place at Pre-entry, Administration and the Country Club. Finally, the Swim Center will start its resurrection, with repairs to our deck overlay, painting touch up, chemical balancing and tuning of the variable speed pumps (2) and lter refreshing (2). We employ a redundant pump and lter system to ensure that even with a single failure the amenity can remain open for member enjoyment. Well, that’s all for this month and as always “Slow for the cone zone”.

APRIL PML NEWS 11As of the writing of this article, we are wrapping up the rst quarter of the new year. The annual audit is almost complete and we are moving on to a few projects before peak season is upon us. We are assisting the Grill Team with improvements to their operational tools to help them manage labor and material costs more eciently. Grill management is focused on providing excellent service to our members while working to improve the bottom line. ese are challenging goals. ere is an updated reserve study on its way that will not only help us dial in funding reserves with more precision, it will help us complete the true-up of our assets we began last year. is is a monumental task that is performed every few years to ensure we are also measuring what we manage with the highest level of accuracy and condence as possible.ough most of our insurance renewals are happening in July, now is the time we begin working with our brokers and carriers on increasingly creative ways to stay ahead of price ination in that area, that has hit historically high levels. Not only is pricing a concern in today’s markets, we have to tackle these skyrocketing costs while still maintaining the highest level and quality of coverage possible.e other area of major cost ination we are tackling is, of course, Gas and Electricity. Utilities have also seen record high ination, and as such is a major area of focus of your money-management team. Though we saved a substantial amount of money with a successful solar project, we still experienced cost increases of over 20% in 2024; and expect the upward pressure on utility prices to only get worse in 2025 and beyond. Given that, we are continuing to go to work on tackling that problem by reviewing rate plans, looking at ways to reduce the amount of power we need to pull o the grid, and other creative ways to make that hit from PG&E sting as little as possible.We continue to see reductions in printing and publishing costs as our “going paper-LESS” initiative continues. Rather than provide ample amounts of expensive kindling and birdcage-liners to the membership, we are now fully digital with the PML News. As this project evolves, we will see potential reductions in costs for billing, elections, and other routine PML business; as we continue to leverage technology to help get an increasingly higher return on those assessment dollars one year to the next.And, since a penny earned is at least as good as a penny saved, we are also hard at work looking at ways to increase sales at various amenities, specically focusing on bringing in more dollars from outside the association. We want those that visit and enjoy our community to not only have a great time while they are here, we want them to leave behind as many dollars as possible to help fund our association. e more visitors that leave here with happy faces and lighter wallets, the better it is for everyone in so many ways. Also, as our cash reserves continue to increase, there is more opportunity to earn returns on those membership dollars. Higher cash balances means more can be put to work without risking needed liquidity. Using more money, just sitting in the bank, to make even more money for our members, is one of the easiest and most eective ways to put those precious assessment dollars to work for us.So, as we continue through Q2 of 2025, we will continue to sharpen our pencils and go to work on ways to use our money more eectively and eciently, month over month, year over year. More to come.Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me anytime at Controller@PineMountainLake.com or 1-209-962-8606.ADMINISTRATIONPMLA MONEY MATTERSDAN SZATHMARY – ASSOCIATION CONTROLLER

APRIL PML NEWS 13DO YOUHAVE YOUR PIN?Since PML is a private gated community, we want to oer our property owners a secure way to call in guests. When you become a member of PML you are assigned a Personal Identiﬁcation Number (PIN) to utilize either when calling in a guest pass or using the Gate Access Internet program. This PIN identiﬁes you to sta without you having to be present. This is a conﬁdential number and should not be shared. When you call the Main Gate to authorize a guest or vendor access into PML, you will be asked for your PIN. The sta will look up the number in the computer and use it to conﬁrm your identity before entering the guest information. You must have this number to utilize the Gate Access Internet program as well. If you do not know your PIN or have any questions, please contact the Administration Oce at: 1-209-962-8600Monday – Friday from 8 am – 4:30 pm and we will gladly supply this information to you.PML AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PROGRAMTaking the time to write a check for your monthly assessment payment can be time consuming and costly. You can avoid this burden and eliminate the potential for late payment charges by enrolling in PMLA’s Auto Payment Program. By completing the form, which can be found at www.PineMountainLake.com under the Resources/Forms, and returning it to the Administration Office, you can have your monthly assessment automatically deducted from your checking account or charged to your credit card. This means you never have to remember to write a check and mail it each month. The peace of mind that comes with knowing your payment will always be made on time is easy to attain. We can also arrange to have any other regular payment you make to the Association (such as golf membership, horse boarding fees, etc.) paid in the same way.For more information on this simple, effective and time saving plan please contact us at 1 (209) 962-8600PAY YOUR PML PAYMENTS ONLINEDid you know you can make your payments online?

14 APRIL PML NEWSGarbage that is being improperly stored is leading to scattered litter in our scenic community. Never leave bags of garbage or overowing cans that are accessible to wildlife. Please keep your garbage in a secured fully enclosed facility such as a bear box. Garbage that is not properly bagged will not be picked up by the contracted garbage service. Garbage cans shall not be stored by the roadside. e Rule or Regulation that applies is as follows:PMLA CC&R, ARTICLE VIII, Section 9. Garbage. No rubbish, trash, or garbage shall be allowed to accumulate on Lots. Any trash that is accumulated by an Owner outside the interior walls of a Residence shall be stored entirely within appropriate covered disposal containers and facilities which shall be screened from view from any street, neighboring Lot or the Common Area. Many times, when the property is in violation of the PML CC&R, article VIII, Section 9, it is due to improper disposal receptacles and placement. ese receptacles April showers may very well bring May flowers, but unfortunately, they can also bring clogged culverts, heavy erosion, and flooding. While we may not be able to completely control Mother Nature and her mercurial California whims, there are steps we can take to help mitigate any potential damage. All are required to have a solid bottom, made of sturdy material with a latch for closure. We recommend a wildlife proof bear box to store your garbage. If you need guidance on properly storing your garbage between garbage service pick-ups contact our Community Standards Department who can assist you to bring your receptacle into compliance. All receptacles must be approved by ECC prior to construction or placement. Don’t let your dilapidated open garbage receptacle add to the garbage concerns.If you are planning a storage container to store your garbage between pick-ups, please note that ALL exterior improvements including storage containers must be approved by the Environmental Control Committee and meet our minimum construction standards. PML CC&Rs, article VI, Section 5, Setback Requirements, applies to all permanent structures. Storage containers may not be placed in your setbacks. Setting your full garbage cans out before your scheduled pick-up date may seem like the most convenient option but it creates a temptation for our furry friends. As you drainage courses, ditches and swales on your property are your responsibility to keep clear (PML CC&R’s Article VII, Section 3 B & C). Routinely clearing out debris from drainage areas will keep the water flowing in its natural course, and will greatly help our Maintenance department when it comes to keeping our streets and culverts clear. know bears, racoons, even the ravens are very good at nding treasure in your trash. Our garbage also poses a threat to their health and wellbeing. Let us work together as a community to maintain our neighborhoods and keep our critters safe. Contact Moore Bros Scavenger Co. at 1-209-962-7224 to schedule pick up service and to ask for your scheduled pick-up day.Be sure to check out the Community Standards page at https://www.pinemountainlake.com/resources/ where you will click on the Community Standards page. ere you will nd other resources such as FAQs, rental registration or the link to submit an exterior project such as a new bear box.For the love of our community let us take the steps to protect and preserve the natural beauty and character of Pine Mountain Lake and all it has to oer. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at 1 (209) 962-1241 or communitystandards@pinemountainlake.com. I will be happy to guide and provide you with the information you need to navigate our governing documents to maintain our beautiful community.It is also incredibly important that all projects that will disturb the earth, and potentially affect the natural drainage have approved drainage plans.

When an intact divot is replaced, it will begin to root right away but a mulch lled divot will take weeks to ll in. If the divot hole is not totally lled in by the divot that you replaced then ll the rest of the hole with mulch and press down the divot rmly with your foot. If the divot is not intact, then ll the divot hole with mulch and smooth the mulch with your foot so it is level with the ground.Repairing Ball Marks – is is one of the major negatives in our great game; players either do not know how to repair ball marks correctly or don’t even attempt to repair them. Here is the correct way to repair a ball mark: Insert the divot tool just outside the edge of the ball mark, use the divot tool to mend in the outside portion if the ball mark towards the middle. en use you putter to tap down the repaired turf. If a ball mark is repaired (Continued from previous page) properly, you will not even be able to tell that there was a ball mark. NEVER PULL UP THE MIDDLE OF THE BALL MARK.Raking Bunkers – We are back to normal procedures concerning bunkers; PLEASE make sure that you rake the bunker after you have hit your shot.Golf Carts – Driving golf carts on the fairways has a negative eect on turf conditions over time. PLEASE use the 90-degree rule posted in each golf cart in order to minimize the cart trac on the fairways. PINE MOUNTAIN LAKE NEW GOLF APPPine Mountain Lake Golf & CC will be transitioning to a NEW APP in 2025, you will be able to download the FREE from the app store soon. Look for more information to follow, hopefully in mid-April. e NEW APP will feature many of the existing features on the current app, such as:• Golf course GPS • Players can measure their shots• Golf course hole by hole yover• Interactive scorecard• Score posting• Player prole and automatic stats tracker• Food & beverage menus and ordering• And more …Golf Maintenance is in spring mode with lots of spring bloom mowing and turf horticultural needs that are being done throughout the course. Greens aerification is now complete. The greens will be a little sandy, slow, and bumpy this is the process and the conditions we must deal with to have healthy greens the rest of the year. We are also in process of tee aeration, rough aeration and fairway spiking. Green and Tee fungicide and fertilizer programs are also in full swing along with a fairway fertilizer program as well this year. In the midst of all these tasks we are keeping up with all the other daily course maintenance needs. Aerification achieves three important objectives. It relives soil compaction from staff, patrons, carts, and weather. It provides a method to improve soil mixtures at the highest point of a greens root structure and it reduces and prevents excess thatch buildup. The Aerification and slicing process is a mechanical one and time consuming for all of our greens, tees, fairways and rough. We touched nearly 70 acres of turf upon completion. The process of opening up the turf creates air space and an avenue to deliver water to a deeper root zone within the soil structure creating a healthier stronger plant. We achieve these holes by either solid tine aeration or a hollow tine aeration or a vertical slicer. The space created on the greens and tees by this process is then filled with sand. This helps the soil retain the fresh air space and makes for deeper root structure. The advantage to deeper root zones during the summer months is that the surface of the greens can be left to dry out causing firmer faster greens and the turf can survive off of the moisture down deep. So, keep in mind you will see a lot of work going into making our course amazing for the upcoming season. Give staff the room they need and understand there will be some additional noise. Come on out and enjoy the spring play.

Before arriving for the inspection, members must ensure that their watercraft is registered for 2025. Additionally, all vessels must be CLEAN, DRAINED, and DRIED, with the drain plug unplugged prior to arrival.BOAT INSPECTION SEALS: ENSURING A SAFE AND CLEAN LAKEA key component of PML’s AIS program is the boat inspection seal system, designed to prevent the introduction of invasive species. Boats that pass inspection receive a green seal, which allows for a faster re-entry process. However, all vessels, regardless of their seal status, must go through a verication process before launching.Boats that do not pass inspection will receive a red seal, indicating that they are high-risk and must undergo a mandatory 15-day quarantine period. During this time, the boat must remain clean, drained, and dry and cannot enter any other body of water.Inspection seals are provided free of charge at the time of inspection when a boat exits the lake. If a boat has been inspected and sealed at another lake, PML can verify the information using a shared database of seal and inspection records, expediting the launch process for boaters.To ensure an ecient and eective inspection process, PML has implemented specic launch appointment protocols:BOATS WITH A GREEN SEALOwners must present their inspection receipt.Inspectors will verify and remove the seal before allowing the boat to launch.BOATS WITHOUT A SEALA full internal and external inspection will be conducted.e boat must be clean, drained, and dry.If the boat fails inspection, a red seal will be issued, requiring a 15-day quarantine.Non-Motorized Vessels (Kayaks, Paddleboards, Canoes, etc.)No appointment is necessary.A Marina Attendant, stationed at the Marina, Lake Lodge, and Dunn Court beaches, will inspect the vessel.Owners must present a current PML vessel registration.If the vessel fails inspection, the owner will be required to clean, drain, and dry it before launch.PML encourages all boaters to follow the Clean, Drain, Dry protocol to help prevent the spread of invasive species.

But when Bruce began needing ongoing medical treatments in Sonora, Modesto and Stockton last June, they faced an overwhelming challenge—how to get him the care he needed without moving away from the home they loved.K a y , w h o struggles with ongoing back pain, found it nearly impossible to drive Bruce to and from his appointments each month. In addition to the drive, Bruce spends four hours in treatment – more sitting than Kay’s back can tolerate. “I tried it the rst time, and I could barely get home,” Kay recalled. “I knew I couldn’t do this every four weeks.”That’s when she learned about Southside Community Connections’ (SCC) Wheels program. Wheels provides volunteer drivers who take Bruce to his appointments while Kay remains at home —exactly what they need.e impact was immediate. “I thought we might have to move, and that made me so sad,” Kay admitted. “My life is here, in this community. But getting to Bruce’s appointments just wasn’t possible.” With Wheels, everything changed. “Everything is doable now,” she said.Kay and Bruce also greatly enjoy their Wheels drivers. “We’ve met kind, wonderful, fun people,” she said. “It’s a good feeling to see that people care.” So far, she hasn’t heard of another community with a similar program – especially one as aordable. “One year of Wheels membership ($120) is less than a one-way cab ride to Sonora,” she said. Kay and Bruce are deeply grateful for Wheels. “It’s made us realize we can conquer just about anything. ank you to the sta and drivers for making this program work!”To nd out more about Wheels, call us at (209) 962-6952, or, drop by e Little House in Groveland (11699 Merrell Road) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.

46 APRIL PML NEWSOUR COMMUNITYHELPING HANDS HAPPENINGS PATTI BEAULIEUAPRIL IS VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION MONTHAs this is being written, I’m watching the snow gently fall, as we’re in the midst of a beautiful snowy day. As I looked back at some old photos, it snowed last year at this time. We had very little in the dead of winter but we usually have some nice spring snow. This now coincides with the time change that we did in early March. Living in the mountains, we need to be prepared for a change in weather by the day, or even the hour. but I’m sure none of us would trade it for anywhere else. Our stores will always be closed if it snows because the safety of our volunteers is paramount.This month we celebrate Easter and our Thrift Store is awash with Easter items. Come in a pick up some little thing you might need to complete your holiday. We also look forward to the week of April 20-26 as we celebrate National Volunteer Appreciation week. Our organization, as well as almost every other club and organization up here, from our 2 Stores to STCHS, the local historical society, are run by volunteers. Even our local annual 49’r Festival is, and always has been, completely run by volunteers. Please take the time to thank a volunteer, and YOUR volunteers, since they are what keep our town prosperous and an active, thriving, wonderful place to live.Last month, we welcomed new volunteer Nathan Allen, who works at the Furniture Barn. Stop in and say hi to him, if you get a chance. We also have Rocky Sweet, a long-time Groveland resident volunteering at the Furniture Barn. They’re both wonderful men and an asset to our organization.We look forward to welcoming many travelers and shoppers this coming season and hopefully some might be able to do some spring skiing. We still have ski-wear and many coats and jackets in stock, however this month we’ll transition to our spring/summer inventory. Come in and take advantage of all the clearance sales we’ll have on winter clothes, shoes and accessories.In keeping with our commitment to assist our community, we’re also happy to now sponsor the Groveland Christmas Decorating Committee as we do the annual Groveland Thanksgiving Dinner. These two events are also totally volunteer and donation dependent.Thank you all for your volunteerism, your donations and your patronage to our little, local Stores, the Thrift Store and the Furniture Barn, that make it possible for us to give back to our community.OUR COMMUNITYREMEMBERING NORMAN EDWARD VOLPONI BORN OCTOBER 7, 1932, PASSED AWAY ON FEBRUARY 2, 2025Celebration of life, to take place on June 14, 2025, from 1-4 pm, at the Grill at Pine Mountain Lake, 12765 Mueller Dr. Groveland, Ca. 95321”

APRIL PML NEWS 53OUR COMMUNITYCREAMY BOURSIN CHICKEN RECIPERECIPE BY TOM KNOTH AND PAULA MARTELLOUR COMMUNITYTENAYA STUDENTOF THE MONTHBoursin is a wonderful cheese spread that can be found in the deli section of most markets. Its great to serve as an appetizer with crackers, but is also the highlight of this rich and tasty chicken dish that is pretty easy and quick to put together. Give it a try:INGREDIENTS4 boneless, skinless chicken breastsSalt and pepper, to taste2 tablespoons olive oil1 small onion, nely chopped8 oz mushrooms, cremini or button, sliced2 cloves garlic, minced1/2 cup chicken broth1 package (5.2 oz) Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs avor)1/2 cup heavy creamFresh basil and/or chives, for garnishDIRECTIONSThe chicken breasts may be cooked whole or cut into smaller servings; season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (158 F). You can cover the pan to speed up cooking if the chicken is browning faster than it is heating up. When finished to temp, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the Boursin cheese, stirring until melted and combined. Stir in the heavy cream, mixing until the sauce is smooth and creamy.Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer for a few minutes to absorb the flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve hot.February Student of the Month for Tenaya is Wyatt Weeks from Mr. Elliot’s 5th grade class.
