The world-renowned Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee has a rich heritage dating back to the 1800’s. In the early Gold Mining Days, the Mother Lode Country was very prosperous. It attracted many industrious individuals looking for adventure. One such individual was Samuel Clemens who regularly made the trip from San Francisco to a small mountain cabin near Angels Camp.
It was during one of Mr. Clemens’ trips that he heard a tale that inspired his first published work, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”. The story records the antics of a character named Jim Smiley and his frog Dan’l Webster. Mr. Clemens first published this story in 1865 and used his pen name, “Mark Twain”, and so the legend began.
Tadventureadventure continues, we still jump frogs as part of the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee, which is held annually the 3rd weekend in May. This “Old-Fashion County Fair” features exhibits, entertainment, rodeo, horse events, livestock exhibits and the best little carnival in the west. Everyone is your neighbor and you are hosted by the friendliest people on earth.

Join us Saturday, May 14, to prepare the pool and common area for summer action and fun! Why volunteer?
This annual event helps to keep our annual dues low because it saves our association approximately $1,000 that we would have to spend otherwise. Plus, it’s a great way to get to know others in Lilac Park!
This year instead of giving volunteers a $10.00 credit, a free LUNCH will be served to all who come and help!
Here’s a list of things we need to do:
Bring rakes, trimmers, loppers, wheelbarrows, pick-up trucks and trailers (if you have them) to haul debris from the back lot to the front for burning. The weather should be settled by then, but you never know so be sure to dress in layers and wear some sturdy clothing for protection.
We need your help. Please use the Contact Us page or send us an email to let us know that you’re coming, and what you can help with. Let us know as early as possible so we get an accurate head count for lunch.
We hope to see you there!
Hi all,Recent estimates figure that one message in seven traveling through cyberspace is a legitimate email. Most of us have seen the ads for pharmacy this, weight loss that, and the other less, tasteful messages. Thankfully most Internet Service Providers (ISP) have tools on their mail servers to filter out the unwanted stuff with surprising accuracy. Without spam filters, we’d be swimming in junk messages.
Many of the tools ISPs employ consider the sender’s address, the mail server’s IP address, message content, frequency, and more. Much of the filtering is based on probabilities that are pretty good at weeding out the flotsam, but occasionally the spam software will catch legitimate messages and flag them as junk. Thus, the reason for the note.
It has come to our attention that some of you may not be receiving the broadcast messages from the ALPHA Board of Directors, like this one. If you received this, it’s because you either are NOT having a problem, or you had to remove this message from your spam queue and are now reading it. The content here is aimed at the latter.
We’ve changed the mail address that the web site software sends from to hoa@…, however we can’t necessarily remove the info@… that it was sending from before because there are a number of people that use this e-mail address to contact us. If your spam server still thinks that mail coming from ALPHA is spam after this change, the easiest way to solve the problem is to either 1.) add an exception to your spam filter for anything coming from the arnoldlilacparkhoa.org domain or 2.) contact your ISP and have them do it.
Mail providers such as Google, AT&T, and other larger companies have user tools in the administrative sections of their mail interfaces that allow you to add whatever exceptions you want. Smaller ISPs and even many regional providers don’t offer such tools requiring their support departments to enter them manually.
With as competitive as Internet Service and Mail provisioning is these days, most smaller to mid-sized companies are pretty responsive to their customer’s needs, so if you continue to have problems receiving e-mail from us because of spam filtering, please add a filter exception for “arnoldlilacparkhoa.org,” (no comma) or call your ISP and have them do it for you.
I hope all is well.

March 28 – roads were clear and snow was piled high – One of your residents needed help getting into her home. The call went out, and Lilac Park responded. You truly reflect what being a neighbor is all about. Thank you Lilac Park. Thank you.
Posted on the Bulletin Board by ALPHA’s Secretary / Treasurer:
A hardy thank you to GE for coming to the rescue on Sunday, March 27, with his 13 horsepower snow blower to create a path thru the 5 ft berm for a Lilac Park resident. G, in 30 minutes you did what would have taken 7 of us 3 hours. Thank you. …
Lilac Park isn’t the biggest community in Arnold, but we think it’s the best.
