| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | FEBRUARY 2026 | 29 The Holiday Parade with the pre-parade line up was held on Dec. 13; the parade is always a big hit with the community. We had a super turnout, the best in a long time! Some of the cart decorations and driver costumes were amazing. Lots of people showed up for a preview and a closer look at the golf cart decorations and driver costumes. The enthusiasm of residents as the parade went by their homes was impressive. Flag Angels: The Flag Angels started off the new year with Flags for MLK Day. In October, I related that the Board had approved the purchase of new f lags for the entire community (1,600 f lags). The new f lags made their debut for Veterans' Day. The Angels celebrated turning in the old f lags and receiving the new f lags. About two years ago, I started to highlight each of the "Flag Angels" in the Herald. I also pointed out a common characteristic that all Angels seem to share: an elevated level of involvement in the community. The Flag Angels are a perfect illustration of this phenomenon. They put up about 1,500 f lags, 11 times a year, and yet they are, or have also been, on the Board of Directors, on the Social Committee, on the Access Committee, on the Public Facilities Committee, President and multiple elected officers of the Golf Club. Well, you get the idea: I would have to list almost all our committees and clubs. This month's highlighted Angels are Brice and Denise Sunderland. They are the newest f lag angels and they started just a few months ago, placing f lags in front of nearly 120 homes. The next time you see Brice and Denise give them a well-deserved "thank you." The Flag Angels ranks are constantly changing. We have lost several angels due to assorted reasons. I have used up the substitutes and need some volunteers to take a route.
