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 />

One item we would like to address is the installation of<br />

satellite dishes. When coming in for approval, please<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

(a) benchmarking other appropriate communities in<br />

order to make appropriate recommendations regarding<br />

the fitness needs of SCA residents, (b) improving<br />

communications to and from SCA residents regarding<br />

health and fitness issues, and (c) assessing community<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 />

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 />

things <strong>Anthem</strong> Authors experience. You don’t have be a<br />

improve your writing. Memoirs, fantasy, mystery and<br />

poetry all have been explored and there are also many<br />

organizing your thoughts and experiences to pass on to<br />

your families.<br />

Our annual membership dues are $10.00. Our website is<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 />

Tuesday nights in the Billiards Room. Please call an officer<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 />

Please direct any questions to Susan Hernandez at<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 />

our Pickleball <strong>Club</strong> website at www.anthempickleball.com.<br />

stimulating speakers, engage in<br />

the issues is the key to success.<br />

Speakers for our September 8 meeting will include:<br />

Melissa Woodbury represents<br />

Assembly District 23 and is<br />

seeking re-election for her third<br />

term. She will update us on her<br />

politics. Elected to the Nevada<br />

State Legislature in 2008, Melissa<br />

has been actively pursuing ways<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 />

the t2HtLEmB3ilevels, Nevada State Assembly in<br />

2006, representing District 22.<br />

Government Affairs,<br />

Legislative Operations and<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 />

of Nevada legal experience with a strong litigation<br />

background in personal injury, wrongful death and<br />

employment issues.<br />

We have an urgent need for volunteers to help during the<br />

upcoming election campaign. Please contact Kay Dwyer,<br />

Secretary at kaycd@cox.net or phone 733-0401 if you are<br />

interested or if you would like more information about<br />

<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />

hobby or return to one<br />

that has been set aside<br />

months. Interest groups<br />

placemats, aprons, table runners, dish towel dresses and<br />

more.<br />

We had a wonderful member appreciation luncheon<br />

catered by Sweet Tomatoes and a fashion show with<br />

clothing from The Refinery and modeled by members. A<br />

great time was had by all who attended.<br />

meeting other single members of our community. We offer<br />

T Times, usually at Buckman’s, on the first and third<br />

Fridays of the month from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Good<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 />
