SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
President’s Report<br />
One-year extension of RMI Management Agreement.<br />
Our Association is currently managed under a three-year<br />
agreement with RMI that ends on December 31. At its July<br />
meeting, our Board approved in concept the extension of<br />
this agreement for one-year, and appointed a Board task<br />
force to negotiate suitable provisions during the one-year<br />
extension. This extension is intended to provide time to<br />
identify other management companies that could manage<br />
our Association, decide whether to put management<br />
services out to bid, and if this decision is made, to write a<br />
request for proposal (RFP), evaluate proposals, negotiate a<br />
new management agreement, and potentially transition to<br />
a new management company.<br />
OLLI classes coming to our Association. Our Board has<br />
approved free room use to hold Osher Lifelong Learning<br />
Institute (OLLI) classes in Association buildings. We<br />
expect these classes to begin in January, since the fall class<br />
schedule has already been set. OLLI is a member-led<br />
organization in which the learning process takes place in<br />
study groups. Most OLLI classes are held on the UNLV<br />
campus, and remaining classes are held at satellite<br />
locations around the valley. A person pays tuition to take<br />
OLLI classes ($75 per semester or $40 for summer session).<br />
Payment of this tuition entitles a person to take as many<br />
classes as he or she wishes at any OLLI location.<br />
<strong>Information</strong> cafeteria. You can choose from numerous<br />
options our Association offers to stay abreast of what is<br />
happening in our community.<br />
1. The monthly Spirit magazine you are holding is full<br />
of information about the activities of our Board, our<br />
committees, our clubs and many other community<br />
activities.<br />
2. You can sign up for e-mail blasts that report<br />
Association news, describe upcoming meetings, and<br />
announce temporary facility closures. I urge you give<br />
them a try if you are not already receiving them. After<br />
signing into the SCA website, look for and click on<br />
“Click here to make your selections” and check the<br />
“Alerts and Events” box on the page you see next (also<br />
check any other notices you want to receive.) You can<br />
unsubscribe at any time by un-checking the boxes of<br />
any notices you no longer want to receive.<br />
3. Starting this month, you can watch a new 30-minute<br />
roundtable discussion featuring two of our volunteers<br />
discussing an Association topic with a moderator. I<br />
will also provide a monthly report of Association<br />
activities as a segment on <strong>Anthem</strong> Alive. Watch these<br />
on channel 99 or 980 if you are Cox Cable subscriber,<br />
or at www.suncityanthem99.com on your computer<br />
or tablet.<br />
4. Our committees, task forces and staff prepare<br />
numerous reports that are assembled by our staff<br />
into a “Board Book” that our Board uses to prepare for<br />
each board meeting. You are now able to read a draft<br />
version of the Board Book on Monday afternoon of<br />
Board meeting week. After signing into the SCA<br />
website, click on Documents / Draft Documents /<br />
Draft Board Book. You can click on any blue text on<br />
the agenda to go to the report for that agenda item.<br />
Click on the blue box in the lower left of the first page<br />
of a report to return to the agenda. Because the Board<br />
Book is so big, you will need high speed internet to<br />
download it. As a reminder, free high speed internet<br />
via Wi-Fi is now available in all Association<br />
buildings.<br />
5. You can attend the two-hour agenda review<br />
workshop held by our Board at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday<br />
of Board meeting week. This workshop has evolved<br />
into a free-wheeling discussion of the agenda topics<br />
among our directors, committee and task force<br />
representatives, our members and our staff. This<br />
workshop is all discussion and no decisions<br />
(decisions can only be made at the Thursday board<br />
meeting).<br />
6. You can attend our Board’s monthly meeting on the<br />
fourth Thursday of most months (it’s on the third<br />
Thursday in November and there isn’t a December<br />
meeting). This is the business meeting at which our<br />
Board makes decisions.<br />
The e-mail blasts discussed at #2 serve an important role in<br />
helping you use the other information sources. For example,<br />
I send an e-mail blast at the beginning of each Board<br />
meeting week listing the highlights of that week’s board<br />
agenda. If you are interested in any of these issues, you can<br />
read the portion of the Board Book dealing with it and<br />
decide whether to attend the agenda review workshop and<br />
Board meeting that month.<br />

us every second and fourth Thursday of the month with<br />
two copies of the changes you plan.<br />

handsome SCA folder. The Board approved materials in<br />
the packet and it was distributed at the July 18<br />
new-resident coffee for more than 50 newcomers. (Thank<br />
you Pam Troia for another delicious, entertaining and<br />
information-packed new-resident coffee!) From now on,<br />
new residents will receive this folder when they obtain<br />
their membership cards.<br />

COVENANTS COMMITTEE<br />
The Board of Directors, as required in Article 5.2 of the By<br />
Laws, established a Deed Restriction Enforcement<br />
Committee. At <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> this committee is called<br />
the “Covenants Committee.”<br />
The Covenants Committee is the hearing tribunal of the<br />
Association and conducts hearings held pursuant to<br />
Section 3.26 of the By Laws and Article 7.4 of the<br />
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.<br />
Hearings are normally scheduled once a month and they<br />
are not open to the public or membership. A hearing is<br />
scheduled when a case cannot be resolved during the<br />
enforcement process. The Covenants Committee hearing<br />
tribunal reviews the information regarding an alleged<br />
violation and determines if a violation of the standards<br />
set forth in the Governing Documents occurred. This<br />
committee is also responsible for imposing fines and/or<br />
sanctions.<br />
Following a hearing before the Covenants Committee, the<br />
alleged violator shall have the right to appeal the decision<br />
to the Board.<br />

On Thursday, September 6, the Finance Committee will<br />
hold a joint workshop with the Board of Directors from<br />
10:00 a.m. to noon to review the proposed budget for 2013.<br />
The meeting will be in <strong>Anthem</strong> Center.<br />
The presentation of the proposed budget in September is<br />
the culmination of a detailed, seven-month process that<br />
began in February. The process utilizes many, many hours<br />
of volunteer time by persons serving on multiple<br />
committees. The contribution of the work of these<br />
volunteers is crucial. Their input insures that the<br />
proposed budget is a responsible financial plan and<br />
represents how residents expect our quarterly assessments<br />
to be used to maintain the community and quality of life<br />
at SCA.<br />
In looking at the proposed budget, my first reaction is<br />
how large it is at $9+ million. But upon reflection, I am<br />
impressed at how little it costs each of us to live at<br />
SCA—just a little under $92 per month. When I look at<br />
all of the facilities and activities to which we have<br />
access, I ask, how do we do it at such low cost One of<br />
the key answers is the level and quality of volunteer<br />
time devoted by the people who live in SCA. Clearly,<br />
replacing the services provided by our volunteers with<br />
paid service providers would significantly increase the<br />
cost of living here. Therefore, as the process begins for<br />
approving a budget for 2013, I hope all residents will<br />
take a little time to thank their neighbors whose<br />
volunteer efforts make living at SCA a superior and<br />
low-cost experience.<br />
All meetings of the Finance Committee are open tothe<br />
public. Residents are encouraged to attend our<br />
meetings to better understand the financial operations<br />
of your community. We welcome resident input at the<br />
12 <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> • September 2012<br />
meetings as a way to both gather new ideas and to<br />
maintain contact with the community.<br />
By the way, the Finance Committee needs several<br />
additional members. If you have a background in<br />
accounting and/or financial management, we would like<br />
the opportunity to discuss with you how you can help us<br />
support the Board of Directors in overseeing the financial<br />
operations of SCA. If interested, please feel free to contract<br />
me for more information.<br />

Are you a member of a busy SCA club, with lots of<br />
meetings, programs and social events Have you ever<br />
thought about who arranges for the room reservations,<br />
set-up and audio/visual equipment, speaker or program,<br />
and the refreshments The answer is your club’s officers<br />
and committee chairs who constitute your club board.<br />
They work with RMI to achieve the desired results<br />
necessary to accommodate and entertain you every<br />
month. They strive to make your club appealing and<br />
successful.<br />
Our wonderful community is dependent on generous<br />
residents who donate their time to make SCA the best<br />
place to retire. In addition to leading our 51 clubs, our<br />
volunteers serve on standing committees, in service<br />
groups and on our Board of Directors. SCA would not<br />
have the spectacular reputation it has without our many<br />
volunteers.<br />

Thanks to the wonders of modern<br />
neuromuscular dentistry, you can<br />
have dentures that restore your face<br />
to a more youthful appearance. In<br />
addition to offering optimal function<br />
and stability, as well as a more natural<br />
feel, this fully customized solution<br />
improves the muscle tone in your jaw<br />
and adequately supports your lips<br />
and cheeks, creating younger-looking<br />
facial fullness where there was once<br />
a prematurely aged, sunken-in effect.<br />
With a softer chin and fewer apparent<br />
wrinkles, many of our satisfied<br />
customers report that friends and<br />
family have been asking if they’ve<br />
had a face-lift! With this cutting-edge<br />
technology, you will enjoy complete<br />
comfort, greater confidence and a<br />
beautiful smile. Ask Dr. Hendrickson if<br />
restorative dentures are right for you<br />
and make a worthwhile investment in<br />
yourself today.
Compliance<br />
Quiet Enjoyment-What does it mean<br />
The second paragraph of CC&R 3.6 (h)<br />
Quiet Enjoyment states:<br />
No obnoxious, illegal, or offensive activity shall be carried on<br />
upon any portion of the Properties, which in the Board's<br />
reasonable determination tends to cause embarrassment,<br />
discomfort, annoyance, or nuisance to persons using the<br />
Common Area or to the Occupants and invitees<br />
of other Lots.<br />
This provision of the CC&Rs specifically applies to persons<br />
using or working in the common areas. These areas include<br />
the Community Centers at <strong>Anthem</strong>. There are hundreds of<br />
people utilizing the three centers and outdoor common area<br />
facilities. These people enjoy the sport courts, exercise at the<br />
fitness center, swim or exercise in the pool, participate in a<br />
favorite hobby, play a game of pool or cards, and visit with<br />
friends while watching television. Along with them are<br />
employees and contractors who are managing the day-to-day<br />
operations and providing services or materials to the<br />
Association.<br />
Obviously, with all of this activity, an understanding<br />
of proper behavior and respect for others, along with<br />
adherence to rules is the key to ensuring the use and<br />
management of these areas is a smooth operation.<br />
Please follow the fitness rules when utilizing the<br />
equipment, walking track, pools, and locker room areas. If<br />
you observe a violation of the fitness rules you should report<br />
it immediately to the fitness monitor or manager,<br />
especially if the violation may be a health or safety issue.<br />
If you observe someone who you believe is in violation of the<br />
Quiet Enjoyment Clause because their behavior is embarrassing,<br />
annoying or a nuisance to others, or the<br />
behavior is obnoxious or offensive, you may report this in<br />
writing. There is a form for reporting these things<br />
available at the Fitness Center desk and at the front desk at<br />
each center. Please ask for the form entitled “REQUEST FOR<br />
COMPLIANCE ACTION.” You may also submit a request for<br />
compliance action by utilizing the web site form, or sending<br />
an email to compliance @scacai.com. All requests must be in<br />
writing and we must have your name and address, which is<br />
not shared with anyone outside of the necessary management<br />
staff. We will need, at a minimum, the name of the person<br />
you are alleging to be in violation and details regarding<br />
the violation such as what, when, where, observations.<br />
These reports are submitted to the Compliance<br />
Department and may be dropped off at the Membership Desk<br />
in <strong>Anthem</strong> Center or given to a fitness monitor<br />
or front desk employee and they will deliver it to the<br />
Compliance Department.<br />
The majority of residents who use the common areas are<br />
considerate and respectful of the rights of others.<br />
However, if you observe, or are the victim of, behavior that is<br />
not appropriate, then you may expect that after submitting a<br />
written description of the situation with details, the<br />
Association will take measures to resolve the matter. If you<br />
have any questions regarding this type of issue you may<br />
contact me at Christine.wikoff@scacai.com or 614-5859.<br />

Facilities/Landscaping<br />
September<br />
~ September 11, 1875, the very first comic strip was printed in a newspaper.<br />
September 1 is a very<br />
important date. You may<br />
find our reminders repetitive<br />
but they are very important<br />
since the Association or<br />
homeowners would not be<br />
excited to get a fine or a<br />
citation from the Southern<br />
Nevada Water Authority<br />
(SNWA.) SNWAs guidelines<br />
require that on September 1,<br />
it is mandatory to cut back on<br />
watering to three days a week.<br />
For all of <strong>Anthem</strong>, the watering days are Monday,<br />
Wednesday and Friday as designated by SNWAs<br />
Water Group E.<br />
You will find that September is a good month for<br />
pruning and cleaning out dead wood on plants in<br />
all landscape areas. Since the ground is still warm<br />
enough, we can go ahead and plant new trees and<br />
shrubs where needed, as there is still adequate<br />
time to establish new root systems before our<br />
winter chill begins to surface. While doing so, it<br />
is a good idea to trim out any dead branches in<br />
trees and shrubs. Dead branches that are left will<br />
actually steal water and nutrients away from the<br />
production of new foliage, leaving the tree or plant<br />
looking stressed. It is also a good time to check for<br />
insect damage and/or fungus growth on your<br />
plants. Immediate treatment will improve the<br />
overall appearance of the landscape.<br />
If you travel Eastern Avenue, you have probably<br />
noticed all the landscape activity that had been<br />
happening. There were dead and stressed trees and<br />
plants that needed removal. In addition, there were<br />
trees that were way too large for their formerly<br />
allotted space. After their removal, new trees and<br />
plants were added. We also expanded the existing<br />
irrigation lines to accommodate the water needs of<br />
mature established trees and plants. All of this<br />
work was done on Eastern Avenue, which includes<br />
the streetscapes and medians from <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> Drive to the <strong>City</strong> of Henderson property<br />
located just below Evansville. This is all<br />
Association-owned property on which we provide<br />
the landscape maintenance.<br />
The featured photo is an Association-owned lot at<br />
Americana and Williamsport that has recently been<br />
upgraded. Del Webb’s original design was just<br />
desert revegetation with no irrigation. Due to the<br />
lot’s proximity to the existing streetscape and Model<br />
Entrance Monuments, it needed to blend in with<br />
the surrounding area. At the direction of the Board<br />
of Directors, proposals and designs were solicited<br />
for consideration. Valley Crest Landscape was<br />
selected by the Board for this project. Irrigation was<br />
added to allow<br />
planting of<br />
specimen trees<br />
and plants. The<br />
area was<br />
re-graded and<br />
large boulders<br />
were rearranged.<br />
Also, a border of<br />
granite rock<br />
mulch was addedd<br />
to match the<br />
adjacent<br />
streetscape.<br />
Included in the new theme were Chilean Mesquite<br />
trees, Texas Ebony trees, Arizona Rosewood shrubs,<br />
Trailing Indigo and Sierra Gold ground cover.<br />
With the prime goal of keeping our community<br />
beautiful, we regularly walk our grounds and<br />
interact with the crews from three landscape<br />
companies that maintain our outdoor areas.<br />
These areas include: the grounds around the<br />
Centers, SCA streetscapes; desert re-veg areas;<br />
the common areas and gate maintenance in<br />
Pinnacle Village; the landscape around the duplex<br />
homes; and rock drains within our community.<br />
We always welcome the opportunity to speak with<br />
the homeowners. If you have questions,<br />
comments or concerns regarding any of our<br />
properties, please don’t hesitate to contact me at:<br />
christine.noble@scacai.com or 614-5863.<br />
Thank you,<br />

ANTHEM AUTHORS<br />
I always write the last chapter of my novels first,<br />
then write the chapters that lead to the ending.<br />
John Irving<br />
Members were treated to a talk about memoir writing by<br />
published author and Riga, Latvia native, Oksana<br />
Marafiota. She read an excerpt from her memoir American<br />
Gypsy, about her father’s gift for exorcism.<br />
Another three-part story, written sequentially by Elaine<br />
Stubbs, Kate Hutton and Dianne Hahn, “The Corpse in<br />
Coral Lipstick,” was read. Lynn Lanier read an excerpt<br />
from his novel, “Resurrection of Romeo.” James Logsden<br />
continued his memoir of his first job in the Philippines<br />
with a chapter titled “Scuba Monday.”<br />
These are examples of the new and exciting (and yes, fun)<br />

BILLIARDS CLUB<br />
The Billiards <strong>Club</strong> is a social organization for people who<br />
enjoy the game of Billiards, along with socializing and<br />
making new friends. Whether you are an expert player,<br />
need to brush up on your skills or want to learn the game,<br />
the Billiards <strong>Club</strong> invites you to join! If you have never<br />
played pool, you’ll discover it’s a lot of fun. All <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> residents are welcome and encouraged to join.<br />
Call <strong>Club</strong> President, Ron Armstrong, 837-0251, Vice<br />
President, Chuck Boxwell, 897-3991, Secretary, Beth<br />
Weddle, 407-8342, or Treasurer, Dzintra Landers, 492-6778,<br />
for information on joining.<br />
<strong>Club</strong> Structure: Regular competitive club play consists of<br />
different member flights, handicapped by ability. You play<br />
against members with similar skill levels. New members<br />
are evaluated before competitive play. There is also a social<br />
flight for those who simply want to play to improve their<br />
game, meet new people and have fun. Lessons are<br />
available free of charge to any and all club members. We<br />
have also formed a USAPL League which plays on<br />

BOCCE<br />
League Play: As the heat of summer fades into memory,<br />
our thoughts turn to Bocce. The fall 2012 season is upon us<br />
and with it lays the challenges of old rivalries and new<br />
contenders. Your Bocce Board invites you to forget the fun<br />
of watching your utility meter spin endlessly, get outdoors<br />
and bask in the cool Bocce season. Remember, if you are a<br />
newbie or a rusty old player, you can check out Bocce balls<br />
at the Independence Center and practice until you are<br />
skilled. The season kicks off the week of September 10 and<br />
we wish everyone good luck, good fun and good natured<br />
competition.<br />
Captains’ Meeting: Mark your calendars for the Captains’<br />
meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 6, at 7:00 p.m.<br />
in the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. The meeting is mandatory for all<br />
captains or their designees. This meeting will arm you<br />
with all the information you need to be well informed this<br />
season. Avoid the confusion and perplexities that occurs<br />
when well-intentioned players are uninformed. We<br />
encourage all representatives to stay for the entire meeting<br />
and learn of the changes in rules and policies. In addition,<br />
you can meet the board and greet old friends and<br />
adversaries.<br />
Monday night pickup games are held at 7:00 p.m., contact<br />
Marge or Charlie Meves at 269-6994.<br />

BOOK<br />
<strong>Club</strong> meeting - Thursday, September 20, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00<br />
p.m. in the Penn/Nelson Rooms at Independence Center.<br />
Each month, the Book <strong>Club</strong> reads<br />
and discusses a book. The<br />
September selection is State of<br />
Wonder by Ann Patchett. Dr.<br />
Marina Singh, a brilliant research<br />
scientist at a pharmaceutical<br />
firm, is sent to Brazil to track down<br />
the field team headed by her<br />
former mentor, Annick Swenson.<br />
The team is developing a<br />
breakthrough drug, but has been<br />
virtually silent for two years. The<br />
search is made more challenging<br />
by the reported death of the first<br />
person sent to check up on the<br />
team, Anders Eckman. Marina’s<br />
journey into the jungle is full of<br />
physical challenges and moral<br />
dilemmas as she confronts her past<br />
as well as the ramifications of<br />
future decisions.<br />
Our book for October is Daughter of Fortune by Isabel<br />
Allende. The November selection is Dreams of Joy by Lisa<br />
See.<br />
All members of the Book <strong>Club</strong> are eligible to nominate<br />
books for our 2013 reading list. We will finalize the<br />
nominations in September and vote on our selections in<br />
October.<br />
SCA Book <strong>Club</strong> members volunteer at the SCA library. The<br />
library is located at Independence Center and has a<br />
collection that includes fiction and nonfiction, paperback<br />
and hardback books. Books may be borrowed by SCA<br />
residents on the honor system. Book donations are<br />
welcomed, but due to space constraints, only books<br />
published within the past eight to ten years are accepted.<br />
The Book <strong>Club</strong> usually meets on the third Thursday of<br />
each month. Guests are welcome at any meeting. For those<br />
who wish to join, dues are $5.<br />

Pet of the Month<br />
ABOUT DUDLEY<br />
Ron and Sandy Shapiro decided toọ<br />
bring a dog back into their lives.<br />
Wi t h t e c h n o l o g y, t h e y h a d researched all avenues to guide ẹ<br />
them to their new family member.<br />
Researching is fine and dandy, but<br />
when being eye to eye with a new<br />
prospective family member, the<br />
heart takes over all the research that ts<br />
the brain has acquired. That is<br />
exactly what happened to the<br />
Shapiros. They attended the<br />
Woofstock Event and there was<br />
Dudley. He was with the Las Vegas<br />
Cocker Rescue. They immediately knew they had found<br />
the right dog and he went into their hearts and into their<br />
home.<br />
There were adjustments that needed to be worked through<br />
as with any rescue dog. However, each day becomes even<br />
better than the day before and currently he is the joy of<br />
their life.<br />
To be placed on the Pet <strong>Club</strong> Email list, send an email to<br />
SCAPet<strong>Club</strong>@aol.com and you will receive email advising<br />
you of upcoming events. Guest Policy allows you to attend<br />
two events before joining.<br />

PICKLEBALL<br />
PINOCHLE<br />
A little humor from the<br />
Pebble Creek Pickleball<br />
<strong>Club</strong>, as the summer moves<br />
towards its end and the<br />
snowbirds return.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> advertised a “Pickleball Summer Boot Camp”, an<br />
intensive training course to toughen up players mentally<br />
and physically.<br />
Sessions to include:<br />
1. Psyching out your opponents.<br />
2. Secrets of illegal serving.<br />
3. With a straight face, calling questionable shots “out.”<br />
4. Creating havoc with your court attire.<br />
5. Convincing opponents they called the score<br />
incorrectly.<br />
6. Showing malice and forethought when hitting your<br />
opponent with the ball.<br />
7. How to secretly sneak in and out of the kitchen area<br />
when volleying a shot.<br />
8. The art of misquoting rules.<br />
9. Legally heckling your opponent during a match.<br />
10. What disheartening words to use after a match when<br />
you meet your opponents at the net.<br />
This author has a very clever sense of humor!<br />
Training Development will start up again in September.<br />
Free SCA resident Beginner Classes are offered the first and<br />
third Monday and Wednesday mornings. Please check out<br />

to improve education and<br />
treatment for special needs<br />
children. As an educator in Clark<br />
County for 18 years, Melissa<br />
brings a keen understanding of<br />
the challenges facing teachers in<br />
the classroom and has quickly<br />
become a strong advocate in the<br />
State Assembly for education<br />
reform. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Special<br />
Education from BYU and earned a Master’s degree in<br />
Education from Southern Utah University.<br />
Lynn Stewart was elected to<br />

Elections, and Taxation Committees.<br />
Having taught at<br />
Boulder <strong>City</strong> High School for<br />
34 years, his is committed to<br />
improving education at all<br />
levels, and to using tax dollars<br />
for new books and better<br />
technology and to attract and<br />
retain competent teachers. He would like to cut bureaucratic<br />
red tape that hinders job growth, and ensure that<br />
the government operates within a responsible budget.<br />
Also joining us will be Clark County District Court Judge<br />
Kerry Louise Earley, who is campaigning to retain her<br />
judicial office in the November election. She has 30 years<br />

SOFTBALL<br />
Are you looking to start a new exercise program Well<br />
here is a great way to give your body a fun wake-up call<br />
every Tuesday and Friday morning.<br />
During the summer months, warm ups begin at 8:00 a.m.<br />
at <strong>Anthem</strong> Hills field, behind the Del Webb School on<br />
Reunion. Toss the ball around, take a few swings, shag a<br />
few balls and get to meet some of the members. We have a<br />
nice mix of retired and semi-retired men and women who<br />
enjoy the game, along with a little “razzing” here and<br />
there. At 8:30 or so we “choose up” teams. This keeps<br />
the atmosphere more relaxed than set teams. It truly is a<br />
good time.<br />
Now you might think that you are not sure that the “old”<br />
body can still take it. Hmmmmm, we have all felt that at<br />
one time or another. No need to worry. Come join us as a<br />
guest for up to three times, you then make the choice of<br />
whether or not you would like to join. The club is open to<br />
all residents of <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong>. Yearly dues are $35.00.<br />
If you would like any more information, please contact our<br />
President, JP Molfetta at jpmvegas@yahoo.com or call<br />
361-4572.<br />
Hope to see you at the field.<br />
