    Hayward MobilehomeOwners Assn, Inc. - A History

    The Hayward Mobilehome Owners association wasfounded in 1979 by the late Vincent M. Haertel, acommunity leader and resident of Spanish Ranch IMobilehome Park. Mr. Haertel realized the need tobring Haywards nine mobile home parks togetherunder one organization in order to successfully defend,protect and preserve our unique lifestyle as we are both

    home owners as well as renters.

    HMOA, Inc. is incorporated under Californias MutualBenefit Non-Profit Corporation Law. Additionally,HMOA has also attained Federal tax exemption sta-tus and is registered with Callfbmias Department ofJustice, Registry of Charitable Trusts.

    In the early 1980s Mr. Haertel and other mobilehome park leaders worked closely with the City ofHayward to create our Citys Mobilehome Space RentStabilization Ordinance to protect park residents fromunfair rent practices. Several enhancements to thisordinance have been enacted in the past decade such asa mandatory meet and confer which was instituted to

    streamline the arbitration process should a park ownerwish to pass through additional costs beyond the allow-able rent. And meet and confer can save residents theenormous expense of legal council.

    HMOA, Inc. holds five general meetings per year andwe rotate meeting venues throughout our nine parks.We break during the Summer months. As the primarypurpose of HMOA is the sharing and exchange of infor-mation, a portion of every meeting is devoted to OpenForum. This is where park residents can communicateconcerns and sometimes a resident from another parkhas experienced a similar encounter and can be ofassistance in resolving the issue. We also have guestspeakers at our meetings who speak on a variety of

    subjects from Spectrum offerings to emergency pre-paredness concerns.

    To support this theme, we created a website atwww.hmoa.net. which gives mobile home residents agreat deal of information concerning our very uniquelifestyle. The website also features a useful referencesection which addresses general concerns and who tocontact for information on many topics. Additionally,www.hmoa.net provides updates on Municipal andState legislation as it pertains to mobilehome living.The website also features an e-mail address wheremobilehome residents can communicate and receiveanswers to questions and concerns.

    Annual dues is only $5.00 per household and anyamount donated in excess is placed in HMOAs legalfund. So, please consider joining us on Saturday,January 15, 2011 at 10:00 AM at Spanish Ranch IMobilehome Park and share your concerns. Or, justcome by to enjoy some coffee and donuts with membersof your mobilehome community.

    By working together we CAN and ARE making adifference.

    Very sincerely yours,

    THE HAYWARD MOBILEHOME OWNERSASSOCIATION, Inc. STEERING COMMITTEE

    DOGS, DOGS, dogs. It appearsthat Spanish Ranch is going to thedogs... the four legged kind thatis...and the office is literally OVER-WHELMED with complaints aboutdog droppings in yards and drive-ways. Please be thoughtful and

    be prepared to pick up after youranimals.

    As the spring comes upon usafter the winter, we are all readyto enjoy the out of doors with aBBQ with family and friends. RE-MEMBER, in order to use the BBQat the main club house, you MUSTsubmit a request to reserve theBBQ area. This is that same pro-cedure if you were reserving theclub house for an event.

    Mr. Gs Corner.

    Guillermo has been working

    very hard at keeping the soundwall at the entrance clear of thegraffiti over the past months. Itappears that a new gang taghas been added to the usual.

    Mr. G has enlisted the help ofa civic group working in conjunc-

    tion with the City of Hayward thathelps stamp out the gang tag-ging.

    With this new collation withthe City of Hayward, we nowhave a standard paint mix that isused by Guillermo and the City.

    Guillermo says that enforce-ment is the key. Please feel freeto call the Hayward Police bydialing their non emergency line(510.293.7000) and report any-one that you might see taggingthe area.

    The rear gate has been dam-aged twice in the last 45 days.Once, someone drove into thekeypad going out and anothertime it appears that someonepurposefully broke the chain.

    Guillermo has been workingon the street lights though outthe park. If you notice a streetlight that is not working properly,please take note of its locationand make the office aware.

    Comedy Corner contributed by S. Higman (no. 189)(most copyright info unknown - web-exchange)

    Kindergarten teacher

    A Kindergarten teacher was observing herclassroom of children while they were draw-ing. She would occasionally walk around to seeeach childs work. As she got to one little girlwho was working diligently, she asked what

    the drawing was. The girl replied, Im drawing God.

    The teacher paused and said, But no one knows what Godlooks like.

    Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing,the girl replied, They will in a minute.

    Noisy Parrot

    So theres this man with a parrot. And

    his parrot swears like a sailor, I meanhes a pistol. He can swear for five min-

    utes straight without repeating himself.

    The trouble is that the guy who owns the

    parrot is a quiet, conservative type, and

    this birds foul mouth is

    driving him crazy.

    One day, it gets to be too

    much, so the guy grabs

    the bird by the throat,

    shakes him really hard,

    and yells, QUIT IT! But this just makes

    the bird mad and he swears more than

    ever.

    Then the guy gets mad and says,

    Thats it. Ill get you. and locks the bird

    in a kitchen cabinet.

    This really aggravates the bird and he

    claws and scratches, and when the guy

    finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose

    with a stream of invective that would

    make a veteran sailor blush.

    At that point, the guy is so mad that he

    throws the bird into the freezer. For the

    first few seconds, there is a terrible din.

    The bird kicks and claws and thrashes.

    Then it suddenly goes very quiet.

    At first the guy just waits, but then he

    starts to think that the bird may be hurt.

    After a couple of minutes of silence, hes

    so worried that he opens up the freezer

    door.

    The bird calmly climbs onto the mansoutstretched arm and says, Awfully

    sorry about the trouble I gave you. Ill do

    my best to improve my vocabulary from

    now on.

    The man is astounded. He cant under-

    stand the transformation that has come

    over the parrot.

    Then the parrot says, By the way, what

    did the chicken do?

    Ever wonder?

    - Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our

    skin?

    - Why women cant put on mascara with their

    mouth closed?

    - Why dont you ever see the headline Psychic

    Wins Lottery?

    - Why is abbreviated such a long word?

    - Why is it that doctors call what they do practice?

    - Why is it that to stop Windows 98, you have to click onStart?

    - Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and

    dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

    - Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

    - Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush

    hour?

    - Why isnt there mouse-flavored cat food?

    - When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

    - Why didnt Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

    - Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?- You know that indestructible black box that is used on air-

    planes?

    Why dont they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

    - Why dont sheep shrink when it rains?

    - Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck

    together?

    - If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of

    progress?

    your name butwe wont use itif you dont wantus to.)

    LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

    On behalf of the AlamedaCounty Community Food Bankand the people we serve, I ex-tend a heartfelt thank you to LosRancheros Charities for your col-lection of 1433 pounds. Throughyour General Food Drive 2010, youprovided 1102 meals to deservingchildren, adults and families in Al-

    ameda County.Through a network of 275 mem-

    ber agencies in the community,including soup kitchens, food pan-tries and child-care centers the Al-ameda County Community FoodBank provides food assistance toover 49,000 people each week,43% of whom are children.

    Food drives play a major role inkeeping our shelves stocked withthe nutritious food our agenciesneed. In this difficult economy,low-income families are really

    struggling and are reaching outto the Food Bank in unprecedent-ed numbers. As layoffs and homeforeclosures continue to makeheadlines, the Food Bank is intro-duced to the new face of hunger- hundreds of clients who neversought help previously are turningto us now.

    We look forward to working withyou in the future to provide nutri-tious food to thousands of lowin-come children and adults in Al-ameda County.

    Sincerely,Nicole JohnstonFood Drive Coordinator

    P.S. Consider enrolling yourgroup in a Virtual Food Drive,where every$] donated stretchesinto $5 worth offood! Visit acc/

    LETTER TO THE EDITOR

    Yeah for Mr. CleanEraser!

    Recenty someone wrotethe gate code on the backentrance key pad and theemergency box. I immedi-

    ately drove to my house andgot my Mr. Clean Eraser. Itremoved the marker with noproblem. Mr. Clean Eraseris wonderful. If you havenot tried it, you should. Iteven takes Sharpie markeroff the kitchen floor, but thatis another story!

    Also I encourage every-one to not tell the code tothose stranded at the gate,but rather put the code in

    for them. If you ever seethe code written anywhereon the gate, please call theManagement.

    Another use for Windex

    Do you have a carpet stainthat regular carpet cleanerscannot remove? Our churchdid, for more than 5 years.Over the years, they hadtried all kinds products. Ona friends recommendation,I tried Windex on the stain.It worked! Just spray on andwipe.

    The makers of Windexwould never tell anyone tospray it on carpet, but itworks! Generic or other brandglass cleaners will not work.It must be Windex.
