Please Help Conserve Water
As well all know, California is in a serious drought.
We must all do our part to help conserve water; the city
of Clovis has let us know that we are exceeding our allotted amount of water. Please be sure to let us know if
you have leaking pipes, running toilets, broken sprinklers
or standing water on the property.
Remember: No Car Washing on Property and hoses
should not be left running for long periods of time!
We oour dogs!
We are proud to be a pet friendly
community. Don’t forget we have
doggie stations located all across the
property.

The colder
months are
upon us, so
remember
these very important tips!
• If your apartment has
a fireplace, do not keep
decorative items close
to it and always turn it
off when you leave your
home or go to sleep.
• Do not store items near
your water heater. It has
a pilot flame and needs
air circulating around it
to operate properly.
• After drying a load
of laundry, remember
to clean out your lint
screen. This will not
only reduce the chance
of fire, but your clothes
will dry faster!
Lights
The air is getting
cooler, and the days are getting shorter.
Please report any
outside lights that are not
working so maintenance can
repair them and keep our
walking areas safe and lit.
National Alzheimer's
Disease Month
Alzheimer’s disease is a brain
disorder that effects memory and
thinking abilities. Most people
with Alzheimer’s first see symptoms in their mid-60s.
Alzheimer’s is the most common
form of dementia, which is a
general term for memory loss
and other intellectual abilities
serious enough to interfere with
daily life.
• Alzheimer’s disease accounts
for 50-80% of dementia
cases.
• Alzheimer’s disease has no
known cure or prevention.
• Only a PET scan, can reveal
whether somebody has Alzheimer’s.
• Sadly, Alzheimer’s is the sixth
leading cause of death in the
U.S.
