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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

PREPAREDNESS GROUP<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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />

Hearts, and Bridge where Spades are not always trump. It’s played by four<br />
people, two sets of partners, using a 52 card deck plus two jokers.<br />

language of travel from the routes covered by the railroad.<br />
Complete success is called a “running a Boston” which is related<br />
to the final stop of the train.<br />
Prospective members are invited to visit and spend an<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 />

comics goddess and poster girl Betty Boop. Pam Yates received silver for<br />
her fine-feathered friend the<br />
cardinal. Winning the bronze is<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 />

The Single’s Club held their Semi Annual Meeting and Chili<br />
Cook-off in the courtyard of Independence Center. This activity<br />
replaced the annual picnic. Eighty five members participated, tasted<br />
chili, enjoyed refreshments provided by Pour for You, ate chicken provided<br />
by the Club and fabulous salads and desserts provided by the<br />
members, and listened to the song styling of Doug Roll. Eight members<br />
participated in the Chili Cook-Off and received Green Valley<br />
movie tickets for entering. Pictured is Gail Weiss, the Social Chair<br />
who planned the event and won first prize with her White Chili with<br />
Chicken. Runner up (for the second year in a row) was Theirrien<br />
Clark, Past President. First prize was a $25.00 gift certificate to<br />
Buckmans and second prize was a $15.00 gift certificate. This is an<br />
annual event and all Single’s who reside in <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> are invited<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 />

<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 />

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 />
