JANUARY MESSAGE
FROM BOARD PRESIDENT RICHARD STOLL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! 2018 is gone. It left the Tropics with lots of thing to remember.
We had many GREAT events put on by the Residents’ Club. Some new: Latin Night, Jazz
Night, Game and Pizza Night and Sports Dinner. Then the old favorites like Casino Night,
Chinese New Year, St. Patrick’s Dinner. Dinners were all yummy.
This year the Board has some new events to have fun at: Chinese New Year, this
month, should be exciting. I’m looking forward to Mardi Gras in February. Hawaii night and
Latin night are this Spring. Another new event in April is Beatles night with dancing and fish
and chips to munch on.
Miguel, Robert and Jorge are continuing to make the Tropics look so good. The new
fence looks great. The entrance is looking better all the time. They put new flooring in the
exercise rooms to go with the new equipment. Have you checked it out yet?
Pete Lowe and Ernie Odiamar are working together in improve our recycling
programs. Stay tuned. LuAnn Lavato is working on the Neighborhood Watch Program.
Come to the General Meetings to find out more.
Stay tuned next month for the Tropics’ Travelers schedule for 2019.
The Board still needs a secretary and a board member at large. If interested see any
board member. We work hard but have a warm feeling of helping The Tropics Mobile Home
Park: the place where people want to live .
Stay warm and look out for your neighbor.
MILLENNIUM MEMO It’s been more than a year since I discussed home sales in The Tropics. For those keeping score at home, back then I reported that 25 homes sold in 2017 at an average cost of $164,014. What about now, you ask? Has the Tropics home sale market gotten better or worse? The answer: a bit better. Here’s the data:
28 homes sold in 2018, compared with 25 in 2017. Sales were up, but not by much.
The average price of those 28 sales was $170,819, up 4% from 2017. As far as I could tell, only 6 sales were new dealer homes, so these are mostly “real” sales of existing homes, i.e. homes just like yours.
Only 1 home sold for less than $100K—and that was $80K. There were 2 sales of $300K+, 13 between $200-$300K, the rest evenly scattered in the $110K-$199K range.
Based on the foregoing, we can say that there are homes available at various price ranges but not many at the bottom end—or perhaps those older, lower-priced homes have mostly been replaced by newer ones by now.
Conclusion: The Tropics market is stronger than ever. You’re richer than you thought! If You’re Looking For a New Year’s Resolution… I could suggest something easy, like losing weight, exercising more, promoting world peace…but instead, I’ll offer a bigger challenge: being a responsible dog owner. Don’t gasp—you’re the Greatest Generation. You can do this. If doesn’t take that long to pick up after the little guy, you don’t need to grab all the Doggie Bags from the Waste Station…well, let’s start with those two and see how it goes. In Other News…
This month’s Kudo goes to Marlene Jacobs (371 Tropicana), for her generous work crocheting hats & scarves for cancer patients. What a great service, Marlene!
Nancy reports that we’re down to just 3 Turkeys—and that the mom hasn’t been seen lately. Of course, we just had Thanksgiving. Coincidence? I think not!
2 more Kudos: to Richard Stoll & Stacee Price (she’s with SPARC) for the excellent Tomato Bisque & Chicken Soup at the Dec. SPARC Seminar/Warm Kit Giveaway. We expected Richard to be a fine cook but who knew Stacee had so many hidden talents!
As We Approach the New Year… I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I didn’t become a better person. Maybe I’ll do better next year. In the meantime…have a great 2019! George Turk

Manager’s Corner for January 2019
Welcome 2019. The holidays are over – but will be back before
you know it. Our park was beautifully decorated by many
homeowners. Lots of new ones this year. One could see the
corner of Tropicana from Medallion. Great job Larry Anderson.
Brightened the evening hours.
Lots of residents took advantage of the extended hours through
December for the pool. It is now closed until April 1st; however,
the spa and saunas are open year-round. The Tri-City Mobile Food
Bank will be here on Friday, January 4 and Friday, January 18,
2019. Christmas trees can be cut up and thrown in the dumpster
(no flocked trees). Please remember to cut them up as well and do
not throw in large branches.
It has been reported that outside plants and yard lights are being
taken by unknown persons during the evening hours. Please be
aware and report any suspicious events to security or Union City
Police Department.
Wishing you a Healthy, Prosperous and Happy New Year.

It takes a lot of willing hands to put The Breeze into YOUR hands, every month. Thanks a lot, Joyce!
More fun and games…, and a prayer
EVERYONE has been so helpful with
THE BREEZE. But now our park’s magazine needs a new editor. You’ll
feel good informing all our residents about the many activities available, and it really
doesn’t take that much time to produce the monthly issues: perfect for a retired
person.
When you volunteer you’ll receive a really impressive wide-screen, all-in-one
computer, and all the training you’ll need on Microsoft Office Word and other
computer skills you will always find useful.
For more info, please contact the Residents’ Club Board, or call 265-4091.
And our sympathies for the recently deceased

SPEEDING
AT ONE TIME, DRIVING WAS CONSIDERED A PRIVILEGE
RESERVED FOR A SELECT FEW. NOW , FOR MOST OF US,
COMMUTING HAS BECOME A NECESSITY. WE ARE
HURRYING FROM HOME TO WORK IN THE MORNING, AND,
WORK TO HOME IN THE EVENING. WE HAVE BECOME A
SOCIETY OF "HURRY".
WHICH BRINGS UP THE POINT OF THIS ARTICLE--
SPEEDING.
WE MUST ALL BE TESTED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A
LICENSE TO DRIVE. THIS TEST COVERS THE RULES OF
DRIVING AND HOW THEY MUST BE OBEYED. ONE OF
THESE RULES IS SPEED LIMITS AND THE SIGNS THAT
IDENTIFY THEM.
THE SPEED LIMIT IN THE TROPICS IS 15 MILES PER HOUR.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS BEING IGNORED BY A GREAT
MANY PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE AND THEIR GUESTS.
A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF OUR FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBORS WALK OUR LANES, (THAT'S RIGHT, LANES.
THEY ARE NOT STREETS, THEY ARE FIRE LANES), AND
ARE IN FEAR OF BEING HIT BY THESE SPEEDERS.
PLEASE SLOW TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS.
IT MAY COST YOU AN ADDITIONAL MINUTE OR TWO, BUT
NOT SLOWING DOWN MAY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE.
IS IT WORTH IT ?
---Be Good
TROPICS’ SENIOR SEMINAR… This picture says everything you want to know about why you’ll want to pay attention to The Breeze’s many notices of Park activities. All these smiley people received free lunches, free warming items, like scarves and gloves, and helpful information on topics such as paratransit services and the uses of essential oils. Good times were had by all!
YOU, YOU, AND YOU. YES, YOU!
Yes, I’m speaking to all you registered residents of The Tropics. You are all members of The Tropics Residents’ Club. And if you want to know what is going on, to participate in our activities, and to make our club and our community stronger, then I hope to see you at our next General Meeting. Come early and get to know your fellow club members!

CARBON MONOXIDE –
Carbon monoxide is often called the invisible killer. It has no odor, but
is deadly poisonous, and will kill one who is asleep. Heaters, stoves, and
water heaters can release carbon monoxide.
It is a California state law that every home must have at least one
operating carbon monoxide detector, and they may be purchased for as
little as ten dollars. One should be placed in every bedroom.
To prevent CO poisoning:
--- Keep furnace, stove, and dryer vents clear.
---Never use your stovetop or oven to heat your home.
---Charcoal and gas grills, and generators, should never be used indoors.
