4 | LIFE IN SOLERA | APRIL 2023 | CINDY BICE Hello my fellow members. I'm Cindy Bice and I have lived in Solera for 9 ½ years. Those years have flown by living the good life here. Prior to moving to Solera, my working career started in Illinois and ended in California. In the mid-west, I worked for banking/investments firms and the cable industry in the administrative departments. Here in California, I worked for a tech company in Orange County before moving to this area in 2002, then finished my working career in retail working with the public. I finally retired! My participation in our HOA includes: • Attending Board meetings and Town Hall meetings regularly. • Have attended a seminar for How the Reserve Monies Work. • I am a member of our Design Review Committee for 2 years. • Formed the lady's billiards group, MISS Q's. Play billiards twice a week. • Member of the Tuesday Night Poker Group. • Member of the Solera Tennis Group. Formerly was on the HOA Board in Yucaipa at the Reserves at Crafton Hills, prior to moving to Solera. I feel I will bring a balanced point of view to your Board. Setting my compass on keeping our community attractive and our finances strong and secure. Giving the current homeowners and all the future homeowners a HOA with beautiful grounds, a clubhouse that is impressive with a contemporary design and a full range of amenities to provide activities with health benefits and fun for all that call Solera home. I am a firm believer that volunteering is an excellent avenue to support our community and I would appreciate your vote this coming May. WILLIE HILL For almost 16 years I have been a proud Solera homeowner and active member of the community. Currently serving on the Design Review Committee (DRC), Cable Ad Hoc Committee that negotiated the cable contract, regularly attend Board meetings, and a member of the Billiards group. My personal experience includes owning and operating Hill Offset Company for more than 18 years selling and servicing commercial printing equipment as well as graphics and bindery equipment. My customer base included training and servicing businesses, city, county, state, Government, and military entities. Other interests include serving as past Board President of the Calimesa Community Garden (CCG) in which I currently serve on the Board as an advisor. I have also worked with the City of Calimesa to obtain temporary use permits for the garden center's overhead, work with the Board of Directors to develop the gardens budget and assist in maintaining the day-to-day operations for the 72-plot garden. If I am elected to serve on the HOA Board, I will work to keep the HOA dues as low as possible while preserving the amenities we already enjoy and always putting the interest of the HOA above any personal agenda. Respectfully, Willie Hill SOLERA OAK VALLEY BOARD OF DIRECTORS CANDIDATE STATEMENTS The Annual Meeting & Election of Directors will be held at 10 am on Wed., May 17 at 1615 Fairway Drive, Beaumont, CA 92223.
