Electric Generator Safety

Many homeowners are opting to install a portable or permanent whole house generator to keep the lights on during the heaviest winter storms that often blow through our area.

If you are considering the installation of a generator to your home, please do your homework to ensure that your installation is correct. Improper installation can be life threatening to both you and to PG & E linemen working on downed power lines during a storm. It’s best to have your new generator installed by a licensed electrical contractor familiar with generator installation.

Even though these web sites are from areas far away from here, people that live in these areas use generators frequently because of very harsh weather.

Wine Tasting / Kids Night Swim a Great Success!

With the dog-days of summer upon us, we couldn’t pass on the opportunity to beat the heat with an Association get-together at the pool. Even though temps hovered in the low  90’s, the turn out for the August Wine Tasting Social / Kid’s Night Swim was spectacular.

With Big Tree Market providing delicious, hand-prepared finger foods and ALPHA residents providing a very eclectic mix of local wines, more than 40 people turned out for an evening of fun and camaraderie under the stars.

New ALPHA homeowners and others who’ve been here for years had a chance to talk, share stories, and get to know one another in the relaxed, informal setting of the ALPHA pool. Kids were able to swim in the 79 degree water and the adults were able to sample various wines from as many as a dozen local vintners. It was a great time had by all.

This is an event we hope to continue next year. The only thing that would have made it better is if you were there!

ALPHA Social Event – Wine Tasting / Kid’s Night Swim

WHAT : Hot August Nights Social / Kid’s Night Swim
WHO : This is a private event for Lilac Park residents, their families, and invited guests.
WHEN : Saturday, August 11, 2012 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
WHERE : Lilac Park Swimming Pool

WHAT : The ALPHA Board of Directors wanted to have a social event for both adults and kids. While the kids swim under the watchful eye of Meghan Jones, ALPHA’s Pool Attendant, the adults can socialize while sampling selections from local vintners.

We ask that attendees being a bottle of a local varietal, costing no more than $10 – $12. Many of the local wineries have “special deals” on their wines if you visit them in person and there are also a number of inexpensive, but very good selections at Big Trees Market.

If you are unable to purchase a bottle or you aren’t a wine drinker, come anyway!! A limited selection of beer and soft-drinks will be available also. The focus of this event is to socialize with and get to know other Lilac Park residents.

Please RSVP HERE or by telephone to 209.795.3807 by Wednesday, August 8 so we can get an accurate head count for food.
