A Message From The <strong>Community</strong> Manager<br />

Terry DaSilva<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Manager<br />

Last month our <strong>Community</strong> elected a<br />

new Board. I have always wondered why<br />

people volunteered to serve on their<br />

Boards. What I have discovered is that the<br />

board volunteers all have some combination<br />

of an agenda, ego, available time and<br />

certain personality traits. However, most<br />

importantly I have concluded that in<br />

almost all cases, Board members have a<br />

sense of duty to their <strong>Community</strong>. This I<br />

believe is what drives them to serve.<br />

Besides the traits mentioned above, the single item they all have<br />

in common is their personal and professional diversity. Board<br />

members have an endless combination of many reasons as to<br />

why they serve. Our Board is from all walks of life with diverse<br />

personal and professional backgrounds. They come to us with<br />

or without association experience. This incredible mixture is<br />

dynamic and will affect how they develop as a functioning<br />

Board; and, this is a good thing. This time of development for<br />

a new Board is vital to our <strong>Community</strong> and we must understand<br />

and give them the time needed and allow them to evolve<br />

as a functioning and cohesive body.<br />

When any group of individuals is thrust together with a set<br />

of tasks and responsibilities to perform, they develop a system<br />

with special tasks assigned to each. Who takes what position on<br />

the Board can be very important in determining how well the<br />

Board functions overall. This structural process can have a profound<br />

effect on whether or not the Board is able to work<br />

together, deliberate, make decisions, take action and most<br />

importantly, move forward. There is a learning curve for brand<br />

new Board members, which automatically comes with challenges.<br />

This learning curve may be steep or shallow, fast or slow,<br />

but ultimately it all depends on their ability to work together as<br />

a unified group for the betterment of the <strong>Community</strong> for<br />

which they were elected to serve.<br />

Once elected, most new board members truly do not have a<br />

real concept of the scope of work facing them. Most are surprised<br />

to find that much of the work in running the<br />

<strong>Community</strong> is making decisions on behalf of the residents, in<br />

addition to the normal functions of setting policies, choosing<br />

contractors, etc. They soon find out that there is a lot more<br />

going on than meets the eye and this is a real “eye opener.”<br />

Our new Board of Directors has not had the time to develop<br />

a sense of trust with the <strong>Community</strong> or even with each other.<br />

This is the hardest part for them because they must develop trust<br />

to work together, but they must work together to begin to develop<br />

trust. This confusing period can be very frustrating to the<br />

Board members because they do not realize or understand the<br />

source of that frustration. I know our new Board members will<br />

be very appreciative of your patience and support and remember,<br />

they have a big job ahead of them, so let us give them a chance<br />

and the time to get up to speed, as I plan to do myself. ✸<br />

A Message From Your Board President...<br />

Mike Dixon<br />

Board President<br />

May 24 marked a new beginning for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. The seating of the<br />

current Executive Board completed our transition from an Association controlled<br />

by the Developer to 100% homeowner control. For the first time, our<br />

future as a community is entirely up to us, the homeowners of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>Anthem</strong>.<br />

You often hear that Transition occurred in May 2005 because that election<br />

marked the first time that a majority of our Directors were homeowners rather<br />

than DelWebb executives. In reality though, while we assumed responsibility<br />

for governance two years ago, since that time we have continued to use the<br />

policies and procedures put in place by Del Webb. In fact, some of the policies and procedures that<br />

we use today were put in place before the first lot was sold, and, as testament to their durability,<br />

most still serve us well and will continue to in the future.<br />

What won’t serve us well in the future is their vision for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. Their decade-long<br />

effort to create an age-qualified community in the hills of Henderson, changing the image of the<br />

city and “elevating the already prestigious <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> brand ” (LVRJ, Saturday, March 3, 2007, Nick<br />

Parks, VP of Marketing for Pulte Homes) is in its final phase. DelWebb is celebrating the Grand<br />

Finale and completing its final sales by summer’s end. Groundbreaking and the start of construction<br />

of Recreation Center III will occur by this fall with a completion date in mid-2008. And last<br />

month in Spirit, <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> homeowners were invited to attend the grand opening celebration<br />

of Del Webb’s newest community, <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite, and offered loyalty awards towards the<br />

purchase of a new home there.<br />

It appears that in our eagerness to see the end of Del Webb control, we neglected to replace their<br />

vision for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> with one of our own. We neglected to create a long-range vision that<br />

would take our community beyond Transition, beyond build-out, through 2007 and beyond. As<br />

the first President of an SCA Executive Board made up entirely of homeowners, I believe that leading<br />

the development of a new vision for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> is my highest priority. Just as Del<br />

Webb’s vision for us was long in the making, developing our own vision for the future of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> will take several months, and our success depends on the involvement and ideas of all of<br />

us. What do we want our community to be like in the future? Where do we want to go next? What<br />

do we need and need to do to make our vision a reality? These are the questions that Del Webb<br />

answered for us a decade ago, and that we must now answer for ourselves, for our community, for<br />

our future.<br />

I believe that our greatest challenge in developing a new vision for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> is to first<br />

make sure we all know where we are, as Del Webb’s vision comes to an end over the coming<br />

months. To address this challenge, we are undertaking three key initiatives:<br />

Implement a Document Management System to improve access to Association documents and<br />

records; Develop a 5-year Business Plan and Operational Processes to ensure that we remain financially<br />

strong, well-run, and well-managed; Establish an integrated Communication Plan that<br />

enables us to use the wealth of media available to share information and keep the community<br />

informed on association matters.<br />

The Board members leading these initiatives will be looking for willing and eager volunteers to<br />

lend your collective skills to these efforts. I invite and encourage each of you to lend your wealth<br />

of experience and expertise to bring these initiatives to fruition. With these intiatives underway, we<br />

will all gain a common understanding of where we are, and can begin, as a community, to develop<br />

our own vision for the future of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. ✸<br />

— MIKE DIXON, Board President<br />

6 <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> • July 2007


A Successful <strong>Community</strong> Association<br />

Bob Frank<br />

Board Vice President<br />

During the recent Board of Directors election<br />

campaign, one of the most frequently addressed<br />

issues was the need for more open and respectful<br />

communications. Both the Board candidates<br />

and the residents of our community felt that<br />

more listening by the Board, more sharing of<br />

information by all community groups, and<br />

greater voice given to our shared concerns<br />

would make us a much stronger community.<br />

Residents wanted the Association and its managers to be more<br />

responsive to their concerns, provide them with greater voice regarding<br />

important issues that affect them, and protect their interests. The<br />

residents wanted the new Board to encourage connection, collaboration,<br />

and exchange.<br />

As Mike Dixon states in his comments as President, the new<br />

Board is committed to a fresh beginning and an updated communications<br />

plan will be a central element to developing this stronger<br />

sense of community. An effective community communications strategy<br />

could supply the “glue” that binds us all more closely together.<br />

<strong>Community</strong> Associations like ours are voluntary, geographically distributed<br />

organizations, and a “sense of community” is critical to their<br />

long-term viability. <strong>Community</strong> Associations link members to one<br />

another, and to the larger world. They inform people, they serve as a<br />

unified voice for residents, and they need to provide residents with a<br />

sense that their interests are being managed efficiently and effectively.<br />

An effective communications strategy is one tool for accomplishing<br />

this goal. As a community, we need more timely access to all<br />

kinds of information; and the Board has to provide this information<br />

BOARD MEETING<br />

Thursday, July 26, 1:30 p.m., Freedom Hall<br />

with budget responsibility and appropriate quality control. That is<br />

why we need a new, comprehensive plan for open and respectful communications.<br />

There was a residential effort to get a communication plan going<br />

in 2005, but the plan was never completed. The mission for that earlier<br />

plan said:<br />

“A Communications Committee is to develop and guide a complete<br />

<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> communications program to keep residents fully<br />

informed about community news and activities. Utilizing our broadcast,<br />

Internet and print media, the committee’s goals are to: enhance residents’<br />

knowledge of and activity in all aspects of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> life; provide<br />

opportunities for, and encourage participation in volunteer activities;<br />

improve the two-way flow of information between residents and the management/leadership<br />

of the community; and to foster a sense of belonging<br />

to an extended family with common interests.”<br />

In the weeks ahead, the Board, the <strong>Community</strong> Manager, and<br />

community volunteers will revisit this earlier plan with a fresh<br />

understanding of its importance. We will strengthen the original<br />

concept and together we will craft a communications strategy that<br />

will deliver what we promised. We will be giving all of you a voice<br />

in our common future and provide you with the timely and useful<br />

information that you need.<br />

In the final analysis, a strong sense of community is really about<br />

creating an environment where people can communicate, work<br />

together and achieve the lifestyles we sought when we came to <strong>Sun</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. Your 2007 Board is looking forward to working with<br />

you in pursuit of these goals! ✸<br />

— BOB FRANK, Board Vice President<br />

Recently, several locations have been reported for<br />

having oleanders. Please be reminded that they are<br />

prohibited and must be removed. Prohibited plants<br />

for <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> include olive (all types), oleander,<br />

mulberry and Bermuda Grass. Also, for your<br />

information, the ARC can no longer approve grass in<br />

the front yard (<strong>City</strong> Restriction). However, you may<br />

have up to fifty percent of your rear yard in grass if<br />

you so desire.<br />

Please submit all exterior changes to your property<br />

to the ARC prior to having the work done. This<br />

prevents costly mistakes that would be required to be<br />

corrected. The ARC meets each Thursday morning<br />

at 9:00 a.m. to review plans. The meeting is held in<br />

the Emerson-Franklin room at <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. ✸<br />

including the homeowner’s assessment, to SCACAI BOD.<br />

Phyllis Washburn/Chairperson<br />

Email: phylliskay@washburn.net<br />

For the last two months the Lifestyle Committee has<br />

been discussing the rental of our facilities to the non residents.<br />

At the May and June meetings, the committee<br />

voted to recommend to the SCA Board that only resident<br />

rentals and rentals of community interest be allowed in<br />

our community buildings.<br />

Our workshops are held on the first Thursday of each<br />

month. This gives residents the opportunity to come and<br />

tell us that their concerns are and they may also discuss our<br />

agenda items. We encourage all club presidents to attend<br />

all of our meetings so that we may learn of their activities<br />

and can give our quick approval. No decisions are made at<br />

our workshops. However, at our meetings the committee<br />

members discuss our agenda items and we do vote and<br />

take action. All residents are welcome at both workshops<br />

and meetings.<br />

The time and dates for our July Workshop and Meeting<br />

are July Workshop will be on July 5 at 1:30 p.m. and July<br />

potentially expensive projects being considered.<br />

Updated News From Your Volunteer<br />

<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> Security Patrol<br />

Since January 2007, our Security Patrol articles have identified and explained the various<br />

job tasks or assignments we address on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We have highlighted<br />

individual volunteers and explained their specific duties. Now, in this article we will<br />

highlight the duties of Security Patrol Management: Chief; Assistant Chief for<br />

Administration; Assistant Chief for Operations; and Watch Commanders.<br />

We have seven Watch Commander (WC) positions (one per each 24 hour shift, per seven<br />

day week). The WC’s oversee the work efforts of the Dispatchers, and the Drivers. Their daily<br />

job tasks include inspecting our vehicles at the beginning of each shift to determine if there<br />

are any safety items that need to be addressed, and to determine if each vehicle contains the<br />

required equipment, and if they are clean and ready to drive. In addition, the WC’s review<br />

the previous day’s Driver Logs and Dispatcher Logs to determine if there are any specific matters<br />

of interest that need to be brought to the attention of either of the Assistant Chiefs or the<br />

Chief. The WC may drive a route during his or her shift, or ride with any driver or drivers<br />

if he or she wishes, or they may elect to remain in the office to provide a warm body for the<br />

Dispatcher to look at.<br />

We have two Assistant Chiefs, one for Administration and one for Operations. Their duties vary from overseeing the work of<br />

the Watch Commanders, Dispatchers, and Drivers to reviewing the various daily logs and reports to determine if there are any<br />

issues that need to be addressed immediately, or that need to be brought to the attention of the Chief. In the absence of the Chief,<br />

the Assistant Chief for Administration has decision-making authority, and in his absence the Assistant Chief for Operations has<br />

equal decision-making authority. The Assistant Chief may wish to drive a route that day or ride with another driver, or he or she<br />

may wish to provide office support to the Dispatcher and Watch Commander.<br />

We have one Chief, and his duties are varied. The Chief is responsible to the SCA<br />

Association Manager, and ultimately to the SCA Board of Directors. He reviews all Driver<br />

Logs, Dispatcher Logs, Incident Reports, and Statistical Reports for purposes of assessing the<br />

overall security needs of the community. From the information provided in the various<br />

reports, the Chief determines what villages, or specific areas of our community, need additional<br />

security patrol coverage. Through the efforts of the Dispatcher responsible for scheduling<br />

shifts and the Dispatcher responsible for gathering statistical information, the Chief<br />

analyzes the data and produces a monthly report for review and use by SCA Association<br />

Management. The Chief analyzes all incident reports on a weekly basis for purposes of generating<br />

a monthly report that highlights all suspicious activity, property thefts, home breakins,<br />

vehicle break-ins, and acts of vandalism by the time of day (when available), by week or<br />

month, by village, and by the specific nature of the crime or troublesome activity.<br />

In my opinion, the Chief’s ultimate responsibility is to oversee the health and safety of the<br />

total SCA community, and equally to provide a stress free, happy, and enjoyable work environment<br />

for the Security Patrol volunteers. We always need more volunteers. ✸<br />

EMERGENCY<br />

PREPAREDNESS GROUP<br />

Meets July 9, 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.<br />

Phil Barad, Chairman<br />

263-6378 retiredone@cox.net<br />

The <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> Emergency Preparedness Group (EPG) has<br />

responded to the prime directive from National Homeland Security to be<br />

able to survive, in the event of an emergency, for up to five days without<br />

outside help of any kind. Through training and education, the EPG is<br />

building a group of volunteers that will be knowledgeable of resident emergency<br />

procedures geared to a neighbor-helping-neighbor program.<br />

The first contact from the EPG to each resident is through the Block<br />

Captain. Block Captains check on approximately 20 homes in an emergency,<br />

and alert their District Command Post/First Aid Center to get help<br />

for residents during the emergency. They are the communications link to<br />

the command posts and First Aid Centers. (Block Captain training is held<br />

periodically at the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Once you volunteer, you will be<br />

informed of your training date).<br />

Once trained, the time you spend with EPG will only include updates<br />

and refreshers. The EPG will keep you informed as to what is new, via<br />

monthly meetings, emails, periodic telephone calls, and the www.scahoa.com<br />

Emergency Preparedness Group web page.<br />

Block Captains are assigned neighborhood areas, and visit residents to<br />

distribute the resident information packets. This packet contains a checklist<br />

covering all the necessary topics. The Block Captain also explains how the<br />

emergency program works and the completed checklist identifies residents<br />

with any special needs.<br />

In a ‘DECLARED EMERGENCY,’ the Emergency Operations Center<br />

(EOC) will activate. All residents will be contacted by telephone (land<br />

phones only; no cell phones) notifying them of the emergency.<br />

During the declared emergency, the resident information checklist will<br />

serve as a reminder of which homes in the Block Captain’s area have special<br />

needs and/or medical problems. Block Captains will report to their designated<br />

First Aid Center, where they will communicate whether help is needed<br />

at any of the homes for which they are responsible.<br />

Would you like to volunteer to be a Block Captain in your neighborhood?<br />

For information on becoming a Block Captain, or serving in any<br />

other role in the Emergency Preparedness Group, contact Phil Barad at<br />

Get a Bird’s Eye View<br />

of the July 4th Fireworks!<br />

The SCA Fitness Center pool area will be open for SCA residents<br />

and their guests, including children, after 8:00 pm on July 4th for<br />

viewing of the fireworks – no guest pass needed. To ensure a safe<br />

and fun time for all, please remember to follow a few<br />

safety policies:<br />

The Fitness Center, including the pool<br />

area will close at 10:00 p.m.<br />

Normal Children’s Hours remain<br />

effective for pool use: 10:00 a.m. -<br />

12:00 p.m. outdoor pool, 12:00 p.m.<br />

- 2:00 p.m. indoor pool.<br />

Please do not bring chairs, glass containers,<br />

unnecessary items<br />

or alcoholic beverages<br />

into the Fitness Center.<br />

With pool season upon us its important to remind ourselves<br />

of our friend/enemy in the sky. You're never too young or too<br />

old to be harmed by the sun. It is responsible for more than 90<br />

percent of all skin cancers, which are now occurring at the epidemic<br />

rate of more than a million new cases each year in the<br />

United States.<br />

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that, in addition<br />

to an annual professional skin examination, you do a head-totoe<br />

self-examination at least once every three months. Call a<br />

doctor immediately if you see any of these warning signs:<br />

• A skin growth that increases in size and appears pearly,<br />

translucent, tan, brown, black, or multicolored.<br />

• A mole that changes in color or in texture, becomes irregular<br />

in outline, increases in size or thickness, or is greater than 1 /4”<br />

in diameter.<br />

• A spot or growth that continues to itch, hurt, scab, erode, or<br />

bleed.<br />

• An open sore that persists for more than four weeks or that<br />

heals and then reopens.<br />

Fun In The <strong>Sun</strong>!<br />

Each year more than half of all new skin cancer cases occur in<br />

individuals over the age of 65. Blame a lifetime of sun exposure.<br />

Any older person who requires medication may be at increased<br />

risk of developing photosensitivity, an intense skin reaction to the<br />

sun, which can be triggered by a number of prescription drugs.<br />

When your doctor prescribes a medication, be sure to ask if it can<br />

produce such a response. The more carefully you practice sun<br />

safety, the healthier and more attractive your skin will stay. Please<br />

stop by the Wellness Center for more information on sun safety.<br />

Mesquite Grand Opening Was A Huge Success!<br />

Thousands of visitors from Nevada, Arizona, California and Utah<br />

arrived in Mesquite on June 16 and 17 for the grand opening of Del<br />

Webb’s newest age-qualified community, <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite.<br />

<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite, located about 90 miles northeast of Las Vegas near<br />

the Nevada-Arizona border, debuted 12 all-new model homes at the grand<br />

opening. Also open for the first time to the public was the sales center<br />

that features historic artifacts from both Del Webb’s history and the earliest<br />

settlers of the Mesquite area.<br />

Entertainment and refreshments were a part of the festivities throughout<br />

the weekend and there were also information booths on local services,<br />

and demonstrations on the energy efficiency of the homes and other<br />

aspects of the community.<br />

<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite will be among the premier <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> communities<br />

in the nation with one of the most favorable locations imaginable. In addition<br />

to the Nevada address sought after by many retirement-age home<br />

buyers, Mesquite provides a leisurely, small-town lifestyle; medical, retail<br />

and entertainment facilities; and great access to both the excitement of<br />

Las Vegas and the quiet beauty of some of the most beloved national<br />

parks.<br />

Interest in <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite kicked into high gear over the past few<br />

months as Del Webb rolled out an information campaign. About 14,000<br />

registrants enrolled on the Pioneer VIP interest list, including people from<br />

every state in the nation. More than 4,000 prospective buyers attended the<br />

five informational seminars held recently in Las Vegas, Salt Lake <strong>City</strong> and<br />

Mesquite.<br />

Many seminar attendees took advantage of the opportunity to<br />

reserve one of the first 100 homes released for sale in the community.<br />

The first residents are expected to take move into their homes in late<br />

July or early August.<br />

<strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite is the flagship community of the 2,014-acre<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Mesquite community. It will feature a host of amenities designed<br />

for recreation and social interaction, including a recreation center with fitness<br />

facilities, rooms for club activities, a computer lab, a swimming pool<br />

area and various sports courts, including pickle ball, bocce and tennis.<br />

The homes are all single story designs, ranging from approximately 1,200<br />

to 3,100 square feet with two- or three-car garages. Prices start in the low<br />

$200’s.<br />

Central to <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite is an 18-hole golf course designed by the<br />

award-winning firm of Gary Panks & Associates of Scottsdale, Ariz. Upon<br />

completion, the community will comprise approximately 3,400 homes.<br />

Many of the community amenities in <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> Mesquite are expected<br />

to be complete by the time the first residents move into their homes in July<br />

and the recreation center will be complete by November. A series of walking<br />

trails will link outdoor amenities and open space areas to the homes.<br />

Mesquite, including photos and a timeline.<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> Authors<br />

Tuesdays, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m, Bristol Room, Recreation Center<br />

We invite you to join us and celebrate your writing.<br />

We provide a forum for information, support, and sharing<br />

our memoirs, poems, short stories, essays, or novels with fellow<br />

writers.<br />

Our club has published a second anthology titled, “The Write<br />

Stuff,” that includes a collection of the above-mentioned subjects.<br />

Margaret Wang, a member wrote the following on the back<br />

of our anthology: “Between the covers of this book is a collection<br />

of literary words written by the members of<br />

the <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> Authors Club. Each<br />

piece is composed in a style that is unique<br />

to that one writer alone. Our writing styles<br />

may be different, or perhaps influenced by<br />

the diverse background of our membership,<br />

but we share the same desire to write. We welcome diversity, for<br />

it adds interest and color to our work, as evidenced in the contents<br />

of our anthology.”<br />

Through diligent efforts, a number of our authors have sharpened<br />

their creative skill to a point that they have the ability to<br />

move the readers to tears or induce hearty laughter.<br />

For club information call President, Beth Williams at (702)<br />

617-4553, or e-mail: edwms@aol.com. You may also call the<br />

Complete success is called a “running a Boston” which is related<br />

to the final stop of the train.<br />

evening with us. On-site assistance is available to help newcomers<br />

the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. A different book, selected by a vote the<br />

members, is discussed each month. Completion of the<br />

month’s selection prior to the meeting is not a prerequisite for<br />

participation, Each meeting ends with member recommendations<br />

of movies currently playing or on videotape.<br />

The Book Club Selection for July will be Family Tree by<br />

Barbara Delinsky. Dana Clarke has<br />

always longed for the stability of<br />

home and family-her own childhood<br />

was not an easy one. Now she has<br />

married a man she adores who is<br />

from a prominent New England<br />

family, and she is about to give<br />

birth to their first child. But what<br />

should be the happiest day of her<br />

life becomes the day her world<br />

falls apart. Her daughter is born beautiful and<br />

healthy, but no one can help noticing the African American<br />

traits in her appearance. Dana’s husband, to her great shock<br />

and dismay, begins to worry that people will think Dana has<br />

had an affair.<br />

Dana’s determination to discover the truth becomes a<br />

poignant journey back through her past and her husband’s heritage<br />

that unearths secrets rooted in prejudice and fear.<br />

Barbara Delinsky’s Family Tree is an utterly unforgettable<br />

novel that asks penetrating questions about race, family, and<br />

the choices people make in times of crisis-choices that have<br />

profound consequences that can last for generations.<br />

As a service project, Book Club members maintain the SCA<br />

lending library collection. Guidelines for use of the collection<br />

by all residents are posted in the library. Annual Book Club<br />

dues are $2. For more information, please contact Rebekah<br />

music from Trinity College, Dublin. This will be Davida’s third<br />

Pet Club<br />

Pet Club will not have a regular meeting<br />

during the months of July and August.<br />

Bird Chatter – Birds are extremely sensitive<br />

to strong cleaning solutions, disinfectants,<br />

and cleansers. Move your bird to<br />

another enclosed room if using these<br />

items. Keep your bird safe from harmful<br />

bacteria by washing the cage and toys in<br />

hot soapy water. Discard any perch or toy<br />

that does not come clean, is frayed, or broken.<br />

Rinse and dry the items thoroughly<br />

before returning them to the bird’s cage.<br />

Important Information concerning pets<br />

in summer heat! Temperatures on sidewalks<br />

and asphalt can be roasting under the afternoon sun – hot enough<br />

to burn your pets’ paws. It’s best to walk the dog or cat early in the<br />

morning or late at night, when the temperature is not as high and the<br />

concrete has had a chance to cool down. On a hot day, restrict exercise<br />

and don’t take your dog jogging with you. Too much exercise when the<br />

weather is very hot can be dangerous for your pet. If you have a pool,<br />

train your pet to know how to get out if they should accidentally fall in.<br />

Reminder: Everyone is urged to have their pets micro-chipped; and<br />

make sure pets are wearing collars and tags. It is also important to register<br />

your pet with SCA Security, as this will help reunite lost pets with<br />

frantic owners. For more information, please contact Nancy Galbraith<br />

at 897-0695.<br />

Softball<br />

Did you know that Mr. Del Webb was an avid baseball<br />

player and part owner of the New York Yankees. We all know<br />

he was an icon in the construction business but did you know<br />

he was responsible in the construction of several sport stadiums.<br />

He is not responsible directly in the construction of our<br />

beautiful softball fields (<strong>Anthem</strong> Hills Park) but the <strong>City</strong> of<br />

Henderson built them for the residents of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>.<br />

Join us for year around softball every Tuesday and Friday<br />

morning (summer schedule 7:30 a.m.) and a yearly fee of<br />

$20.00. Additional information can be obtain by calling<br />

President Don Littman (270-4949), Vice President Henry<br />

Johnson (896-2909) or Secretary/Treasure Ron Jones (616-<br />

4727). Congratulations to the Giants for winning the latest<br />

Table Tennis Club<br />

Monday & Fridays, 6:00 p.m. – 9:00p.m., Tuesday &<br />

Thursdays, 8:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m., Wednesdays, 7:00 p.m.<br />

Hall Aerobics Room<br />

<strong>Anthem</strong> residents of all abilities are welcome to join the<br />

Table Tennis Club. Club members have access to a table tennis<br />

ball machine (robot) that can help players improve their skills<br />

and work on a multitude of different strokes at different<br />

speeds. Free clinics are held every first and third Monday<br />

evening. Also, instructional DVDs are available to Club members<br />

in good standing. Yearly dues are only $5.<br />

Table Tennis began in England during the 1880s. Today<br />

throughout the world, people play table tennis for exercise,<br />

recreation and social interaction. As a non-contact sport, using<br />

a ball that weighs only a few grams, table tennis is practically a<br />

risk-free sport. Players can realize a number of physical benefits<br />

from table tennis including improved hand-eye coordination<br />

and reactions. Over time studies have shown that both gross<br />

and fine muscle movements can be improved. Over the course<br />

of play, a fair, yet not extreme, amount of aerobic activity<br />

occurs. Players can set their own level of involvement.<br />

A recent book entitled, “Making a Good Brain Great” by<br />

Dr. Daniel Amen names table tennis the number one sport for<br />

improving your brain.<br />

Nineteen million Americans participate in table tennis each<br />

year. Table Tennis is the most popular racket sport in the world<br />

and became an Olympic sport in 1988.<br />

Women’s Golf<br />

August is a great time to come out and enjoy the low, low<br />

rates and wide open fairways.. Play early and often, but be sure<br />

to take plenty of water. Revere provides bottled water for all<br />

golfers; pick some up before you hit the first tee. Try freezing<br />

a wet cloth in a plastic bag the night before you play. It provides<br />

cool relief for the face and neck as the day goes on.<br />

August Ladies Days start with a 7:30 a.m. shotgun. Please<br />

note: We play on Monday on August 6th then Tuesday, on<br />

8/14 and 8/21. Tuesday, August 28 is the first Revere<br />

Invitational open to all players. The cost is $75 per person and<br />

the format will be 1-2-3 Jokers Wild. It is a fun day with a<br />

great lunch at Buckman’s and lots of raffle prizes. Pick up an<br />

application in the Club House!<br />

“Constipation Is Not A Dirty Word”<br />

“My Aunt Claire made and used Black Magic for more<br />

than 70 years. She lived a long and healthy life living to<br />

the age of 99 years. I have been using Black Magic as<br />

needed for over 50 years and am a strong and healthy 82<br />

year old man. Many friends<br />

and relatives have asked me<br />

to provide them with Black<br />

Magic and they have been<br />

astounded with the successful<br />

results and the wonderful<br />

changes that consistent regularity<br />

has brought their lives.<br />

Simply put, this amazing<br />

product works and it works<br />

every time.”<br />
