8 FEBRUARY PML NEWSADMINISTRATIONGENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGEJOE POWELL – PCAM, CCAM-LS, CMCA, AMS GENERAL MANAGERPML NEWS TRANSITION TO ONLINE DIGITAL NEWS MAGAZINE Some members have asked why the Association decided to move from a print and mail PML Newspaper format to an online digital PML News Magazine version.Last year, as we worked on developing the 2025 budget, the first budget draft rollup showed a potential increase of more than 15%. e hard work by the Board, management and the Budget and Finance Committee ultimately brought the annual assessment increase down to just 7.95%. To get there, the Board of Directors had to make several tough decisions at the October budget meeting in consideration of controlling the assessment increase for 2025. By deciding to transition from a printed and mailed monthly newspaper to a monthly digital magazine, they were able to reduce the 2025 budget by over $60K for this one budget item alone. While we understand that a few members may be disappointed that they won’t be receiving a printed newspaper every month, controlling costs while maintaining member service is a balancing act and the Board takes everything into consideration when making these tough choices. Members can receive an email PDF copy of the new PML News monthly magazine by going to the official PML Website at www.pinemountainlake.com and filling out the short online form and providing their email address. Every month you will receive the digital copy in your email inbox. Members can also continue to access a digital copy by just going to the PML website and downloading it if they wish. is option has already been available for many years.We are evaluating some companies that oer a print and mail service where we would upload a PDF version of the PML News Magazine and members and advertisers could simply order it from this outside vendor. Obviously, there would be a cost to do so and the member would have to pay to get a printed copy. We are trying to nd one that is suitable and oers a reasonable price for this service.Our IT Manager, Yuris also created an HTML version that provides the individual monthly articles on the Ocial PML website that are easier to access and read on smaller smartphones and tablets. Rather than trying to read the PML News on cellphones, members also have the option to print it out or utilize their computer desktops, laptops, iPads and other tablets. Personally, I use my iPad and it is very easy to read. CREDIT CARD SURCHARGE STATUS For years the Association has incurred credit card processing fees to the tune of approximately $220K annually. Back in 2023, the Board of Directors made the decision to implement a surcharge of 3% on all credit card purchases at Association departments in an eort to reduces costs. It took about 12 months to navigate all of the third-party processing requirements and we were able to implement the surcharge at the end of 2024. We have worked hard to communicate to the membership, before, during and after the implementation of the surcharge as well as setting up an ACH payment option and taking debit card purchases as alternatives to paying the surcharge. We will continue to monitor and improve our processes as we move forward.HOA ELECTRONIC VOTING WILL BE ALLOWED IN 2025 – WE NEED YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS Just a reminder that the Governor signed Assembly Bill 2159 in September 2024, making electronic voting legal for California HOAs starting January 1, 2025. We are currently working with Association General Counsel on updating our election rules to reect this change and to bring them up-to-date with current law. Members will still have the option of voting by mail if they wish. It is important that members provide their email address to the Association if they wish to vote online. We are asking all members to update their contact information with their email addresses so that we can prepare for this new process. Members can update their contact information online at the Ocial PML Website at www.pinemountainlake.com. PML IT DEPARTMENT UPDATEOur IT Manager, Yuris has been very busy this month. Data validation for the Gate Upgrade project has been completed and the new PMLGrill.com website is now online and available to the general public. A redundant two-vendor internet connection is now live at the Maintenance Yard and is being tested as well, for use during outages and emergencies. Analytics for the pinemountainlake.com and pmlgrill.com websites has been enabled so that we can track views and usage. An email server at an external site, allowing for mass mailings to members and mailing list subscribers has also been secured so that we can communicate more eectively with the membership. PML ACCESS GATE UPGRADE PROJECT e PML access gate upgrade project is in progress. Our sta has gleaned through our current gate access system to ensure compatibility with the new system. Trenching and pedestal installation at the Main Gate and Gate #8 is in progress. Secure sample les of owner, resident and contractor data has been sent to the gate access vendor for review. e contractor began the installation work at Gate #8 on January 20th. It is important for members to pay attention to outgoing notices during this project as they may be one-lane trac control and delays during trenching and other installations.COMMUNITY STANDARDS DEPARTMENT 2024 STATSThe PML Community Standards Department handles multiple responsibilities for our Association including architectural and member property improvement approvals in coordination with the PML Environmental Control Committee, CC&R compliance and short- and long-term rental compliance. In 2024, the ECC reviewed 538-member project submittals. ECC approved 9 new single-family dwelling submittals bringing the total of new single-family dwellings currently under construction to 18. Additionally, four (4) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) were completed and permitted within PMLA.As for our Rental Compliance stats ending 2024, at the end of the year, there were 395 (See GM Message on next page)

FEBRUARY PML NEWS 9ADMINISTRATIONPRESIDENT'SMESSAGEMIKE GUSTAFSON – PMLA BOARD PRESIDENTWelcome to the second edition of the Pine Mountain Lake Magazine! I noticed in viewing the January magazine on my iPad I was able to zip through the pages very quickly and the photos and ads had excellent layout and color. All to the good. If your friends are complaining that they didn’t receive their hard copy of the “Newspaper” please urge them to provide their sign up online at the Official PML Website at www.pinemountainlake.com so we can add them to the distribution list.Before we get too far away from the holidays, I want to thank the PML employees and volunteers who made the celebrations so special. The cruise around the golf course, the Christmas tree displays at the Stables, the home decorations contest, the Grill festivities, and the decorations in town, etc. These activities do not happen by accident, it takes a lot of effort; so a big Thank You to everyone who made it happen.As promised, the board is planning a series of Town Hall meetings for all members this year. The first one is at 10am on March 8th at Lake Lodge. It’s your chance to ask questions and express your thoughts, ideas and opinions in a casual setting. Hope to see you there.As you may know, each year your Board of Director’s accepts recommendations from the community of the “Volunteer of the Year” award. is year we are pleased to honor Audrey Prouse for that unique distinction. It was a good day when Audrey retired from her position as elementary school principal in Cupertino and became a full-time PML resident. She took that energy, intelligence, drive and dedication to helping others and focused it on the communities of PML and Groveland. She volunteers in with ROOFBBs, Camp Tuolumne Trails, Friends of the Groveland Library, and Brainy Groveland, among others. Audrey developed the idea of “SummerFest,” to help local businesses and entertain residents, while raising money for local charities. I am exhausted for her, how does she do it?Finally, please take the PML pool survey. Many members continue to ask the association to build a new indoor pool and activity center. e rst step in the process is a survey asking for opinions. is survey describes a couple of construction scenarios, all centered on a large enclosed pool. As you know, the current pool is very small and cannot operate during the winter months. e survey will run until the end of March. en the Long Range Planning Committee will report results back to the Board of Directors at a general meeting. e link to the survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PMLRecSrvyEnjoy your new PMLA Magazine.short-term rentals, 99 long-term rentals, for a total of 494 registered rentals. In our CC&R Compliance section, stats ending 2024, we have sent out 525 Courtesy Notices, 144 Notices-of-non-compliance, and 48 Final Notices with 14 resulting in a Covenants Committee hearing. There were three member enforcement appeals to the Board of Directors. None of the Covenants Committee decisions were overturned on appeal and 92 PML members received a ne for violations of the CC&Rs. Our Compliance department closed 421 resolved member case files. YTD Total member services: 10,086 calls and emails. Top violations: Garbage issues 211, Improvement without approval 104, Unregistered Renters 103, Gate misuse 98. PML GOLF COURSE RATED ONE OF THE TOP IN THE NATIONThe Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course was rated #4 out of the Top 25 Public Golf Courses in the U.S. - Golfers’ Choice 2025. ese 25 nation-wide public courses are ones that impressed golfers the most. We’re #4 in the Country!Congratulations to our Golf Course Superintendent Rob Abbott and Head Golf Professional Mike Cook and their teams for this impressive achievement!JUST A REMINDERJust a reminder that it is important to use official 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 Official PML Website at www.pinemountainlake.com and in the monthly PML News Magazine. Posting questions to unofficial 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 Official PML social media pages display the Official PML logo for easy identification. Until next month, wishing everyone a Happy Valentines Day!(GM Message continued from previous page)

FEBRUARY PML NEWS 11DO 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? Online Bill Pay is available on www.PineMountainLake.com. Pay via your credit card, it is quick and easy!

12 FEBRUARY PML NEWSADMINISTRATIONMONEY MATTERSDAN SZATHMARY, CAFM – ASSOCIATION CONTROLLERPMLA HAD A GREAT YEAR IN 2024. (Note: Please don’t get your information from social media, that is the equivalent of being in the Truman Show and thinking it is actually real. The truth is in the audited financials that are posted monthly.) As of the writing of this article, we have just closed out 2024 and will have a full year-end nancial report at the February 15th monthly board meeting. Some highlights on a great year for PMLA: Operations performed about $160k better than budget. Overall, the management team did a great job keeping our amenities up and running through the year with less money than they were given to spend. e team strives to do more with less every year and denitely accomplished that mission for the year. Interest earned on cash well exceeded our goal of a 20% increase over the prior year. We earned over $183k just doing a bit of math and moving money around wisely. ere are more opportunities for equal security, minimal liquidity risk, and higher yields in 2025, so we expect this number to only get better into the future. Our Reserve Fund has reached its second highest level at end of year in PMLA history. We have almost $3.6 Million in reserves at the close of 2024. is is the second highest balance in PMLA history, beaten by rst place by a little under $800k two years ago. To put that in perspective, we spend about $1 Million a year replacing and repairing assets, about $2 Million on years we do road work. at means we can pay for everything we need for two years and then some based on the amount of cash in that fund right now. In spite of +30% increases in utilities, mind-boggling increases in insurance rates throughout the entire California market, minimum wage and market wages increasing substantially, and a whole host of other double digit cost ination pressures; we were able to do some budgetary gymnastics and reduce the assessment increase for the second year and a row from 10% to 7.95%. All this while maintaining a healthy reserve fund, and without making any reductions to the level or quality of services throughout the association. e list goes on. More to follow with the annual report. I would like to give thanks to the Finance and Accounting team, and the rest of the sta at PMLA for working hard and achieving some fantastic nancial results for 2024. Looking forward to great 2025, and beyond. Questions or comments? Feel free to contact me anytime at Controller@PineMountainLake.Com or 1-209-962-8606. ADMINISTRATIONINSPECTIONS 101ASHLEY HENDERSON – ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL SPECIALIST So, you gured out what you wanted to do, drew up your plans, submitted your project, and got your approval letter…now what? Inspection time! Depending on what your exact project is, you will have anywhere from one to four inspections. First inspections are incredibly important, as they verify that your project matches the approved plans. We ask that you, or your contactor, string the property lines, and mark the exact location of the project—this ensures that the approved project is going exactly where it was approved, and allows us a chance to catch any potential issues prior to the work actually beginning. Remember the old adage: Measure twice, cut once—It is far easier (not to mention cheaper) to re-mark a project before the work begins, versus removing/moving, etc. something after it has already been built/installed. Final inspections verify that everything matches the approved plans as well, but this inspection will also ensure that the property is cleaned up, that your unit and lot and address are posted, and that any advertisement signs have been removed. It is important that all building materials, etc. are either removed, or stored within fully enclosed, approved storage areas. Building materials may not be stored in the open—this includes paint cans, extra lumber, pavers, etc. Failure to properly store any extra building materials will result in a failed nal inspection. Single-family dwellings and remodel projects will have additional inspections including foundation and framing inspections. For those of you who have their contractors set as their agents, please remind them to call for all applicable inspections. Your approval letter will let you know when, and how to call for inspections. You can schedule an inspection online at: https://www.pinemountainlake.com/pmla-forms/ But, as always, when in doubt give me a call! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. 1-209-962-8605 or ecc@pinemountainlake.com

First of all, saving $60,000 is peanuts in consideration of the overall PMLA budget. is is pennywise and pound foolish. Secondly, what we will lose in readership and leadership communication with Association members is not worth this relatively minimal cost. Many older people have diculty reading online newspapers, or even may not have access to the Internet. Charging them the rumored $20 for a paper edition, if true in my opinion, is outrageous. I hope those in power will reconsider these questionable decisions. Incidentally, Food and service at “e Grill” have greatly improved. I thank those responsible for this change.

24 FEBRUARY PML NEWSFire insurance issues? Sadly, fire insurance costs are climbing at an astronomical and unaffordable rate. California is in the midst of a homeowners insurance crisis, with many insurers pulling back coverage in wildfire-prone areas or exiting the state entirely. Californians all over the state are paying outrageous amounts just for fire insurance. The recent tragic and deadly wildfires in LA could drastically drive-up insurance premiums even more and test new market rules recently passed. With little answers in sight, below you will find some information regarding the Firewise program. This is something that may help lower your premiums. First, I recommend checking out this link to Tuolumne County OES at https://www.tuolumnecounty.ca.gov/1207/Fire-Insurance-Information you will nd some good tips and information about re insurance in our area. Among this information is also a link to the California insurance commissioner’s oce where you can le consumer related complaints in regards to insurance. Second, start a Firewise USA group in your neighborhood. Pine Mountain Lake is in the Wildland Urban interface; therefore, it is critical that we work together to plan and take actions to safely coexist with wildland re. PMLA encourages you to join with your neighbors and become a Firewise community. e Firewise USA program is free. It is a grass roots eort of neighbors working together to reduce the risk of wildre damage to their homes and neighborhoods. Together, we can make a dierence! ere are several benets to becoming a Firewise community: • Reducing the risk to life and property from wildre • Getting a framework for action • Access to resources and funding • Sharing Resources and helping neighbors • Community building and citizen pride • Discounts on fire insurance (can apply to Recognized Firewise Community) is program only works if you join together with your neighbors. We need you to participate. For more information on how to become a Firewise USA community go to TuolumneFiresafe.org or email tcrewise@gmail.com. inking about burning? Good news. Pine Mountain Lake burn permits are now available on-line at Pinemountainlake.com. Before burning, please contact Pine Mountain Lake Safety Department at 1-209-962-8615 to conrm it is a burn day and provide your burn permit number and Unit/Lot number. Only burn dry, dead vegetation. Some examples include limbs, small trees, and dead brush. e following Requirements are for debris pile burning: • Maximum pile size 4 foot in diameter. • Clear all ammable material and vegetation within 10 feet of the outer edge of pile. • Keep a water supply close to the burning site. • An adult should be in attendance with a shovel until the re is out. • No burning shall be undertaken unless weather conditions (particularly wind) are such that burning can be considered safe. 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 or PMLA burn permits, you can contact Amanda Birmingham at 1-209-990-5263 or email her at inspector@pinemountainlake.com.

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 Continued on next page

FEBRUARY PML NEWS 31the 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 – This 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. Then use you putter to tap down the repaired turf. If a ball mark is repaired 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 effect on turf conditions over time. PLEASE use the 90-degree rule posted in each golf cart in order to minimize the cart traffic on the fairways.

Last month I mentioned these programs and have had a few questions about one in particular, greens verticutting and sand topdressing. Both of these are done in conjunction with one another beginning with the verticutting.Vertical mowing, also known as verticutting, is an important maintenance practice for bent grass thathelps remove thatch, improve the quality of the surface, and promote upright growth. Thatch is a layer of dead grass stems and roots that can build up and prevent the grass from getting enough water, oxygen, and nutrients. Verticutting cuts through the thatch and brings it to the surface, allowing the grass to absorb nutrients and fertilizer better.Applying light rates of topdressing sand to putting greens on a regular basis helps maintain a balance between air and water penetration by diluting organic matter. Consistent light applications are critical to produce the desired results of a successful topdressing program. e goal of topdressing is to create resilient turf and consistent playing surfaces that are less susceptible to ball marks, scalping, and wear. Selecting a high-quality sand and applying it at the proper rates and times can minimize the short-term negative impact that topdressing occasionally has on playability while maximizing the long-term eects on playing conditions and turf health. Topdressing should be applied to putting greens by weekly at a rate that matches turf growth. Spin top dressers such as ours are an ecient way to apply topdressing sand. A light rate can be applied to the putting greens ahead of the rst group of golfers with minimal disruption to play. I upgraded the quality of our sand several years ago to a uniform 2mm size to minimize impact to players. Visually inspecting the soil prole is a quick and easy way to determine if a topdressing program is effective. The presence of alternating light and dark layers indicates that there are inconsistencies in the top- dressing program, while a uniform distribution of sand indicates that the proper amount of topdressing is being applied. We have seen a steady improvement to our greens over the last few years with the implementation of these programs. Greens are smoother, faster, more visually appealing and more resilient to ball marks and wear. We will continue to improve our practices and evolve in a continuous eort to make the course enjoyable for all.

38 FEBRUARY PML NEWSAs another year rolls around, we at STCHS (Southern Tuolumne County Historical Society) have accomplished a great deal. We recruited and trained 3 new docents, had the Cobden House (the little yellow house in Big Oak Flat) repainted, built an arbor at that property, had some damaged material safely removed from the stone Gamble Building, installed lighting in the stone building, added two new exhibits to the museum, doubled the size of the Hetch Hetchy Railroad exhibit, hosted a thank you lunch for docents and volunteers, we resumed our public speaker programs and we held two very successful fundraising events. The list of volunteers who make all this possible is long. We thank them all! I specially want to thank the STCHS Board members who help steer this ship: Catherine Santa Maria, Treasurer, Dave Roberts, Kathy Brown, Scott Belser, Vice President and Patricia Gibson, Secretary. On the not-so-positive side, our stone building in Big Oak Flat (known as the Wells Fargo Building) was damaged by a car in October. The driver claimed she swerved to avoid a deer, but she damaged the iron door hinges and the bricks and the stone sidewalk. We are working with her insurance company to make repairs.It is the time of year when we ask our STCHS members to renew their membership. e dues we collect are key to continuing our mission of education, preservation and maintaining our museum. Stop by the museum to pick up your membership form. Some new displays are in the works for 2025. The speaker program will resume in the spring. Details will be posted on our website (grovelandmuseum.org) and our Facebook page. The Wine Tasting Cruise will take place on May 17. The Labor Day Barbecue takes place on August 31 this year. And our need for volunteer help never ends. e museum continues to be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 until 2. We can arrange special hours at your request.

It PML ORGANIZED CLUBSPML LADY NINERSTAMMY TALOVICHPML ORGANIZED CLUBSPML MEN’S GOLF CLUBDAVE FERNANDEZis important that players sign up for the correct tees. Any player can play from the Gold tees, regardless of their age or index, if they so choose. But only players that qualify may play from the Purple/Green tees. To qualify a player must be 70, or older, or have an index of 18.7, or higher. It is very difficult for the Golf Shop to make tee changes at the last minute. Any player that plays from incorrect tees risks disqualification. Typically, one team member will sign up a 4-man or 2-man team, so it is imperative that that team member sign up their team from the correct tees.WEBSITE TOURNAMENT SIGN UPPlease continue to use the website, pmlmgc.com, to sign up and pay for tournaments.

FEBRUARY PML NEWS 43OBITUARYKAREN ANN HANDLEYDECEMBER 31, 1940 – JANUARY 3, 2025Sadly, our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister and friend, Karen Ann Handley, died on January 3, 2025 at the age of 84. She was a genuinely kind and loving lady, who carried herself, always, with grace and dignity. Born on December 31, 1940, in Salinas, California, Karen was the rstborn of Alice and Larry Struve. Karen excelled in school and graduated from Salinas High School in 1958 and from Hartnell College in 1960. It was while attending Hartnell that she met her love, Wayne Handley. e two were married in April of 1961 and moved to Coronado where Wayne was stationed in the Navy. In 1965, Wayne and Karen moved to Greeneld, California where they raised their three children. Karen embraced motherhood with love and selessness. When she wasn’t managing the oce of their business, Crop Flight, Karen dedicated herself to her children and their many activities. Karen was passionate about family traditions and created holiday gatherings no one wanted to miss. She loved family ski trips in the winter and enjoyed time at their cabin in Arroyo Seco in the summers. Karen was active in Rainbow Girls, Girl Scouts,e Junior League and e Steinbeck House. She also enjoyed gardening, was a brilliant bridge player and an avid reader. In 1984 Wayne and Karen began traveling the country for Wayne’s career in the airshow business and met many treasured friends along the way. ese years were full of festivities and adventure, which Karen always embraced with her signature warmth and charm.In 2005, Wayne and Karen retired to Pine Mountain Lake in Groveland, California where they developed a fantastic community of friends. While there, Karen volunteered with the Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum as a docent, the Groveland Library and Helping Hands rift Store and was a team leader for the Brainy Groveland reading tutors at the elementary school. She was also actively involved in many events held at the PML Airport. Wayne and Karen thoroughly enjoyed their time in Groveland, until September of 2023, when they moved to the Monterey Peninsula to be closer to family. One of the most beautiful legacies that Karen has left behind for her family is a genuine love for one another. Her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family truly enjoy time spent together and that is due to the love, kindness, strength and beauty of our Mimi. Karen was cherished deeply by her husband Wayne Handely, daughters Jayne Lord (Mark), Kim Feldhaus (Dan), Grandchildren Alison O’Halloran (Tim), Hayden Lord (Kory), Austin Lord, Brennen Handley, Josh Feldhaus, Nate Feldhaus, and great grandchildren, Sawyer O’Halloran, and Hadley O’Halloran as well as her sister, Jean Metz and many nieces and nephews. Karen is preceded in death by her parents Larry and Alice Struve, her brother Jon Struve and her son Ryan Handley. A private burial was held in Greeneld, Ca on January 17th and a Memorial Service was held on January 18th at Struve and Laporte Funeral Home in Salinas, CA with a reception following at the Corral de Tierra Country Club.If you would like, donations can be made in Karen’s name to: Friends of Groveland Library (FOGL)Po Box 43Groveland, Ca 95321Karen Ann Handley

Our passion to become the most accommodating camp on the planet is constant. However, achieving this daunting goal might not be possible anywhere else than in our own special community, where a limitless number of people have unique skills and backgrounds that help others in myriad ways. Likewise, CTT is also committed to being an integral part of this community and giving back. And what a community it is! Groveland goes above and beyond when it comes to community service. at is only possible as a result of some serious collaboration between the local non prots and service organizations. From its inception, we have considered CTT to be a community asset.CTT has been the venue for men’s retreats, annual club meetings, holiday gatherings, celebrations of life, retreats for veterans with PTSD, and many more. We have opened our doors and shared equipment to neighbors who nd themselves in need of mobility assistance. CTT’s big walk-in freezer has been utilized to stage food for fundraising events by many local organizations. For the 4th consecutive year, Tioga High held its senior prom in the Great Hall in January. Although these events are not ‘money-makers’ for CTT, it’s part of our calling and our way to show appreciation and to give back to the community that supports CTT.Last summer, we signed an MOU with the Red Cross, designating CTT as an emergency OUR COMMUNITYCAMP TUOLUMNE TRAILSDORI JONESevacuation center. At the time of this writing, Jacqui Montero, our operations manager, is in Los Angeles for the Red Cross and lending her expertise to our SoCal neighbors suering from the devastating fires. We also hosted a meeting in January between the Firewise USA Council, community leaders and California State Senator Alvarado Gil. As in any community, there are a handful of volunteers that form the heart and soul of Groveland. We are proud to be part of the fabric that makes Groveland such a unique place. Please consider joining the eort—either by volunteering at CTT or any of the other ne organizations in our special town.

FEBRUARY PML NEWS 59Basic Directions for Crockpot Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Potatoes:INGREDIENTS5-6 garlic cloves, crushed1 medium onion, quartered1 quart of water4 lbs. corned beef brisket1 (1 lb.) bag of baby carrots1 lb. small red potatoes, quartered1 head of green cabbage, cut into wedgesDIRECTIONSRinse your corned beef in water to remove brine. Set up a crockpot on low heat and add garlic and onions in pot, then place beef on top. Add enough water to cover the corned beef by an inch or more and the contents of the seasoning packet (pickling spices that almost always come with corned beef). Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 4 hours, and then add carrots and potatoes. At 6.5 hours, add the cabbage wedges. The corned beef is done when it is fork tender, but we check with a thermometer and are looking for 195-200 F internal temperature. Total cooking time should be 7 to 8 hours. If it is ready to soon, you can turn off the crockpot and leave everything inside for up to a couple hours. Serve corned beef slices and veggies with some of the broth in bowls.OPTIONS: Don’t have a crockpot? You could alternatively use a large covered pot heated on low (or simmer). First place onion wedges and garlic at the bottom of your crockpot.You don’t have to use the traditional veggies; we also love cauliflower and/or brussels sprouts cooked in the corned beef broth.INSTANT POT DIRECTIONSRemove the corned beef from the packaging, and rinse. Rub spice pack contents all over the corned beef. Add 3 cups of water or other cooking liquid to the Instant Pot, place the rack back inside. Add corned beef (fat-side up) and top with sliced onions and garlic cloves. Cook the roast for 90 minutes on high pressure, then do a natural release for an additional 10 minutes, followed by a quick release.If cooking veggies as well, remove the brisket and cover with foil. Strain cooking liquid and add 2 cups worth back into your Instant Pot. Add quartered potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. Cook on high pressure for an additional four minutes.OUR COMMUNITYST.

60 FEBRUARY PML NEWSOUR COMMUNITYLOVE & FAITHPASTOR BOB KANDELSGREETINGSAs February unfolds, we nd ourselves longing for the lengthening days and the warmth of sunshine in the Sierra Mountains, particularly in the breathtaking region of Yosemite National Park. is time of year also marks the season of Firefall, when God’s artistry is on full display as Yosemite Falls glows with a spectacular orange light. It’s truly awe-inspiring to see people from across the globe drawn to witness this remarkable phenomenon—a vivid reminder of God’s intimate presence and creative touch in our world.February is also the month we celebrate Valentine’s Day, a tradition deeply rooted in the faith and courage of a Christian believer. Saint Valentine deed the Roman Emperor Claudius II by performing secret marriages in the name of the Lord, standing firm in his devotion to God over allegiance to earthly power. His steadfast faith ultimately led to his martyrdom, raising profound questions: Why would God allow a righteous servant to suer? Yet, through Christ’s sacrice on the cross, we see the ultimate expression of love triumphing over death. Jesus not only forgave our sins but also gifted us eternal life, as beautifully expressed in John 15:9-13 (New International Version)9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” ( John 15:9-13/ NI V )Valentine’s Day serves as a reminder of love that never fails—a love that persists through life’s joys and challenges. God’s love for us remains constant, even in moments of doubt, anger, or disbelief. As we approach both the season of Firefall and Saint Valentine’s Day, let us reect on the boundless, unchanging love of God.If you want to know more about this amazing love, we warmly invite you to join us for worship at any of the local Christian churches. At Gateway Community Church, we gather every Sunday at 10:00 am, and we would be honored to have you worship with us.In Christ Service

BEFORE YOU BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON YOUR LOTThe Declaration of Restrictions (CC&Rs) states that no construction of any type (new construction, driveways, grading, lot development, etc.) can be performed without prior approval from the Environmental Control Committee (ECC).Failure to obtain approval could result in the stoppage of work or even ﬁnes, and nobody wants that to happen. Inspectioin are made every Tuesday and reviewed by the Committee every other Thursday, so we can accommodate our members.Please contact ECC before you begin any type of construction at 1-209-962-8605.
