SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />
President’s Report<br />
We have a new CAM. Robert Feldman became our<br />
Community Association Manager (CAM) at the beginning<br />
of September. He worked 25 years as a manager in the<br />
Marriott hotel chain, followed by several years in<br />
association management.<br />
The selection of our CAM is made by RMI under the terms<br />
of our Management Agreement. RMI’s President, Steven<br />
Parker, provided our directors with an opportunity to<br />
interview the three candidates he was considering for this<br />
position. Six of our directors interviewed these candidates.<br />
Each of our directors, independently concluded, Mr.<br />
Feldman is well qualified to serve as our CAM, and he was<br />
the first choice among the candidates we interviewed.<br />
Mr. Feldman was also Mr. Parker’s first choice.<br />
I want to thank Sacha Fotu for her excellent work serving<br />
our community as our CAM. It has truly been a pleasure to<br />
work with Sacha. She has impressed me with her positive<br />
attitude, dedication to her job, and responsiveness to our<br />
suggestions and comments.<br />
Our CAM is comparable to a chief operating officer in a<br />
business corporation. In addition to many other duties,<br />
our CAM supervises all of our employees.<br />
We also have a new Lifestyle Director. Maurice Talley<br />
became our Lifestyle Director at the end of August.<br />
Maurice is an Army vet and a native of Las Vegas. He has<br />
13 years of property management experience, and was<br />
most recently the Lifestyle Director at Montelago Village at<br />
Lake Las Vegas.<br />
Maurice will oversee the operations of the Activities,<br />
Communications and Fitness departments. The creation of<br />
the Lifestyle Director position is part of the reorganization<br />
of these departments. This reorganization will reduce the<br />
number of managers and maintain the size of our staff,<br />
and it complies with our Board’s budget guidelines for<br />
2012 and 2013.<br />
Restaurant progress report. Our restaurant selection task<br />
force selected <strong>Anthem</strong> Restaurant Partners as its first<br />
choice for a tenant. Our Board approved these<br />
recommendations at its August meeting. Next, our<br />
negotiating team will finalize lease terms with <strong>Anthem</strong><br />
Restaurant Partners, and our auditor will analyze their<br />
financial capabilities. If a problem arises, we will go<br />
through the same steps with Divine Events, the second<br />
choice for a tenant.<br />
The restaurant survey we conducted last December told us<br />
that 78% of our members want to have a restaurant in<br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> Center that serves lunch and dinner. Most of our<br />
members support giving the restaurant tenant exclusive<br />
catering rights in our ballroom. We also learned that few of<br />
our members believe our Association should subsidize the<br />
restaurant operation.<br />
We have used this survey information to guide us. The<br />
new tenant will be required to serve lunch and dinner and<br />
will be the only caterer for events in our ballroom. Over<br />
the course of a five-year lease, they will be required to pay<br />
all utilities plus enough rent to cover replacement of our<br />
restaurant equipment and furnishings.<br />
Important document revisions. At its August meeting,<br />
our Board adopted a revised set of our Association’s Rules<br />
and Regulations. We also adopted revisions to our<br />
Association’s Design Guidelines. You should have<br />
received a copy of these documents on a computer disc<br />
during September. If you did not receive this or you prefer<br />
a paper copy, please stop at the Membership Desk in<br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> Center. I urge you to become familiar with these<br />
documents.<br />
Director specialization. Our Board has long followed the<br />
custom of designating two directors as liaisons to<br />
committees, service groups, and other areas of<br />
responsibility. The Board establishes these assignments at<br />
the organizational meeting in early May each year. The<br />
current liaison assignments are posted on the SCA website.<br />
After logging in, click on Board/Committees, Board of<br />
Directors, Board of Directors Liaison Positions.<br />
Directors perform the traditional liaison role with their<br />
committees or other groups. This includes serving as a<br />
conduit for information from the group to the Board and<br />
the Board to the group. This specialization puts a liaison in<br />
the best position to understand the issues faced by each<br />
group. For example, the primary liaison to the Property<br />
and Grounds Committee (Wade Terry) understands the<br />
issues faced by P&G better than other directors.<br />
We receive many questions from our members through the<br />
message feature of the SCA website (click on Contact Us,<br />
Board of Directors.) Our custom is for the liaison to the<br />
relevant group to answer your question. Using the same<br />
example, Wade answers the questions within the<br />
responsibility of P&G. The other directors read your<br />
question and the liaison’s response, but usually respond<br />
only if they have something additional information to add.<br />

ARC-Committee@scacai.com<br />
“Paint My House”<br />
Our community is about 13 years old, and many of<br />
our homeowners are having their homes repainted. Repainting<br />
your home normally raises many questions and the SCA ARC<br />
would like to help. We have created a website specifically to<br />
provide homeowners with all the information they might need to<br />
make their repainting decisions. This website is accessed through<br />
the SCA website (www.sca-hoa.org.) Just look under the title<br />
“Paint My House” in Board/Committees, Architectural review.<br />
There are 12 Phase 1 and 25 Phase 2 color combinations, all<br />
of which are available to the homeowner.<br />
Once you have accessed the “Paint My House” WEB pages, you<br />
just need to follow steps 1 thru 6 and you should get an<br />
understanding of the requirements for repainting your home and<br />
access to all the information you will need.<br />
The site is organized as follows:<br />
Step 1: READ ME FIRST, which will provide a specific<br />
guide on using this site.<br />
Step 2: Paint Guidelines, which provides a check-list<br />
form and ARC requirements.<br />
Step 3: Pulte Home Database, where you can find<br />
specific paint information for your home.<br />
Step 4: Color Scheme Paint Codes, will give you the<br />
paint manufacturer’s codes for each paint color.<br />
Please use this information because all our<br />
house colors have faded significantly in the hot<br />
Nevada sun and it’s risky to determine paint<br />
colors from samples of your exterior stucco.<br />
Step 5: Exterior Color Application Specification, which<br />
shows how each paint color must be applied to<br />
your home.<br />
Step 6: Color Schemes, provides color pictures of all<br />
Color Schemes.<br />
Now while we are talking repaint, HOUSE NUMBERS, in many<br />
cases have faded and are subsequently illegible and<br />
in need of replacing or repair. This is not only a<br />
maintenance issue but a security one. If a homeowner has to<br />
make a 911 call, it is imperative that the emergency response<br />
vehicle crew be able to identify the correct house immediately on<br />
arrival in that neighborhood. House numbers are available at<br />
Statewide Lighting, 800 E. Sahara, Las Vegas; this being the<br />
contractor previously used by Del Webb/Pulte Homes.<br />

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

Every year, the Association utilizes reserve funds to purchase<br />
furniture and equipment that is deemed to need replacing. For<br />
2013, the replacements will include several pieces of fitness<br />
equipment in the <strong>Anthem</strong> Center Fitness area: cardio pieces<br />
(e.g., treadmills, ellipticals) that are broken, too expensive to<br />
repair, or well beyond their life-expectancy. Also included for<br />
replacement are many pieces of strength equipment.<br />
While working closely with the Fitness Managers on the<br />
equipment, the Health & Fitness Committee has also<br />
independently developed a list of criteria which we feel are<br />
important for SCA fitness equipment. If a current piece of<br />
equipment is failing or deficient on one or more of the priority<br />
criteria, we recommend it being replaced; recommendations of<br />
new pieces of equipment to be purchased as replacements are<br />

residents will be able to receive orientations to the<br />
new equipment.<br />

We have beautiful and bountiful amenities here in SCA: the<br />
spectacular <strong>Anthem</strong> Center, the functional Independence Center<br />
and our newest, the Liberty Center. These three buildings house<br />
our fitness centers, pools and spas, a theatre and sport courts<br />
which add so much to our lifestyle. They also provide space for<br />
our 51 clubs, some of which have dedicated rooms, courts to<br />
play on and comfortable rooms in which to pursue their<br />
interests.<br />
In a community as big as ours, we need rules and<br />
regulations to insure that residents can comfortably enjoy all<br />
these amenities. As Chair of the Lifestyle Committee, I have<br />
recently been involved in revising one of our governing documents<br />
and the entire committee has been reviewing two of our<br />
guiding documents, all of which include some rules on the use of<br />
our amenities. Most of us involved in these projects agreed<br />
12 <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Anthem</strong> • October 2012<br />
that our intent wasn’t to add more rules. We were striving for<br />
simplification, smoother text, elimination of duplication and a<br />
more user-friendly format.<br />
As we reviewed the contents of the documents, an area that came<br />
under review was SCA Non-Resident Guest Policy. We all have<br />
friends and relatives who visit. We love to show off our<br />
amenities and invite guests to join us as we enjoy them. Our rules<br />
only ask that a resident accompany a guest at all times when the<br />
guest signs in using an SCA amenity, and it also states that a guest<br />
cannot preclude a resident from participating in an activity. To<br />
our credit, we have had very few problems with abuse of guest<br />
privileges. The Lifestyle Committee has only occasionally been<br />
called upon to study such problems. Overall, the majority of our<br />
residents are very respectful and rarely abuse the policies we<br />
have in place. The SCA Board ultimately determined that our<br />
revised manuals would not contain changes to Non-Resident<br />
Guest Policy at this time.<br />
All of the SCA governing and guiding documents may be found<br />
on the SCA website: www.sca-hoa.org.<br />

The committee welcomes Jim Jaworski as our newest member.<br />
His term begins on September 1, 2012 and will end on August 31,<br />
2014. Jim comes with the following background:<br />
• Has been a resident of SCA for 7 years<br />
• He’s a current volunteer for CH99<br />
• He’s proficient in the use of all Microsoft software<br />
programs, the tools used most by this committee<br />
• He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from<br />
Western Michigan University<br />
• Served four years in the United States Navy<br />
as an Electronics Technician<br />
• Has spent his lifetime as a professional in the<br />
construction and building industry – He has project<br />
management expertise covering such areas as<br />
maintenance, construction contract negotiations,<br />
design and build, budgets, maintenance and much<br />
more.<br />
• His work experience is nationwide and even<br />
includes projects located in Las Vegas such as<br />
General Growth Properties and Turnberry Place.<br />
The committee members feel that Jim’s background and<br />
expertise will be extremely beneficial to the operation and<br />
effectiveness of Properties and Grounds Committee.<br />
The committee also wants to thank Ellen Korchek and Greg<br />
Pardee, who have agreed to extend their current volunteerism on<br />
our committee for an additional two-year term. We are extremely<br />
appreciative of their work ethic, experience and knowledge that<br />
they bring to the committee. By extending their term, they also<br />
foster continuity as we deal with our task of reviewing and<br />
analyzing information to make recommendations to the<br />
Board of Directors.<br />
As a reminder, the mission of the Properties and Grounds<br />
Committee is to support the Board of Directors and serves<br />
as a communication link with the residents in the management<br />
and development of our common amenities. We meet on the<br />
Tuesday preceding the second Thursday of every month at 10:00<br />
a.m. in the Arlington Room at <strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Residents are<br />
encouraged to attend to offer comments on our agenda items or<br />
voice other concerns regarding our common amenities.

Facilities/Landscaping<br />
October<br />
~ President Harry S. Truman made the first presidential telecast on October 5, 1947<br />
Even though we are now into<br />
the month of October, we still<br />
have days when the weather is<br />
warm; but it is actually a good<br />
time to start thinking about the<br />
coming winter months and the<br />
effect the changing weather<br />
will have on our landscaped<br />
areas. Beginning October 1, we<br />
are now able to water during<br />
any hour of the day per SNWA<br />
(Southern Nevada Water<br />
Authority) guidelines. SNWA<br />
will allow this for the rest of this year. Throughout<br />
the rest of October we may still run our irrigation on<br />
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.<br />
Because of the SNWA’s new hours and for weather<br />
reasons, all of our landscapers will be resetting our<br />
irrigation clocks to water at safer times for the fall<br />
and winter months. Water running too early in the<br />
morning creates the risk of someone slipping or<br />
falling when water forms winter frost or ice because<br />
of runoff to the sidewalk or street. No matter how<br />
carefully the direction of a sprinkler head is set, it is<br />
not unusual for a sudden windy spurt to override the<br />
setting. Keep this in mind when setting your<br />
irrigation clock, because of the late afternoon winds<br />
that are so prevalent in the <strong>Anthem</strong> area.<br />
As most of you already know, all of our landscape<br />
maintenance is contracted with three companies:<br />
US Landscape – all three Centers and Pinnacle<br />
Village; Valley Crest Landscape – all our streetscapes<br />
and open areas; and Superior Landscape – duplex<br />
homes, often referred to as Villas. These companies<br />
all provide us a schedule, in accordance with our<br />
contracts with them, for the year’s landscape<br />
maintenance program. Sometimes it is necessary for<br />
our landscapers to work on an area earlier or later<br />
than it is scheduled, due to weather conditions.<br />
Heavy rains or extreme windy spells create<br />
additional debris. When this happens, crews are<br />
unable to work and the debris caused by these<br />
storms necessitates the need for maintenance<br />
cleanup earlier than scheduled. Also, the extra water<br />
from the rain encourages a sudden growth spurt<br />
which also creates the need to trim earlier than<br />
scheduled.<br />
In addition to all the streetscape re-landscaping<br />
which was described in last month’s article, we have<br />
also been working on our duplex homes located in<br />
Model Village, <strong>Club</strong>house, Canyon Crest, High Mesa<br />
and Mountain View Villages. Each of these Villages<br />
has had plants or trees added as needed. The front,<br />
back and side yards of the duplex units are part of<br />
one large parcel for each street, which is an<br />
Association-owned common area. When the duplex<br />
homes were built, the developer established a plan<br />
for the landscape in each Village. Therefore, when<br />
re-landscaping our choice of plants or trees needs to<br />
coordinate with the original theme to maintain a<br />
coordinated look for all the duplex homes.<br />
The featured photo<br />
this month is of<br />
duplex homes in<br />
<strong>Club</strong>house Village.<br />
As you can see, they<br />
blend in so well with<br />
our single family<br />
homes that it is hard<br />
to tell they are duplex<br />
homes.<br />
With the prime goal of<br />
keeping our community beautiful, we regularly walk<br />
our grounds and interact with the crews from three<br />
landscape companies that maintain our outdoor<br />
areas. These areas include: the grounds around the<br />
Centers, SCA streetscapes; desert re-veg areas;<br />
the common areas and gate maintenance in Pinnacle<br />
Village; the landscape around the duplex homes;<br />
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 />

ANTHEM AUTHORS<br />
I love being a writer; what I can’t stand is the paperwork.<br />
Peter De Vries<br />
It’s been a busy time for our writers. Tony Sabatello has<br />
just published his book, My Kind of Town: Excerpts of a<br />
Copper’s Life. My Kind of Town chronicles the real life<br />
experiences of a Chicago cop during the early 1960s. His<br />
brief career with the Chicago Police Department was spent<br />
in the Patrol Division and in the Traffic Division, which<br />
enables him to provide different perspectives on being a<br />
“copper” in the Windy <strong>City</strong>. Meanwhile, Dick Rose<br />
received a royalty check (a small one) from Amazon for the<br />

growing up in a Hungarian family in Canada, Stories My<br />
Mother Told Me.<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 />
writer to attend; although even if you don’t think you’re a<br />
writer, you might be surprised. <strong>Anthem</strong> Authors meetings<br />
feature exercises, contests and tips designed to inspire and<br />
improve your writing. Memoirs, fantasy, mystery and<br />
poetry all have been explored and there are also many<br />
contests to be entered. Memoirs remain a great vehicle for<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 />
www.<strong>Anthem</strong>Authors.com where you can read some of<br />

BOOK<br />
Book <strong>Club</strong> Meeting – Thursday, October 18, 2:00 p.m. -<br />
3:00 p.m., in the Penn/Nelson Rooms at Independence<br />
Center.<br />
Each month, the SCA Book <strong>Club</strong> reads and discusses a<br />
book. In October, we'll be discussing Daughter of Fortune by<br />
Isabel Allende. Left in a basket at the doorstep of the<br />
Sommers family, Eliza is brought up as their adopted<br />
daughter in the heart of Valparaiso's<br />
well-to-do British colony. She falls in<br />
love with a poor poet who leaves<br />
Chile in 1848 to seek his fortune in<br />
California's Gold Rush. Determined<br />
to follow him, Eliza stows away on a<br />
ship bound for San Francisco. What<br />
begins as a search for her loved one<br />
becomes a journey of self discovery<br />
and a tale of people from a variety of<br />
backgrounds seeking their fortune<br />
in a land which seems filled with<br />
limitless opportunity.<br />
Our November book is Dreams of Joy by Lisa See; the<br />
December selection is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. We<br />
will vote on our 2013 selections at our October meeting.<br />
SCA Book <strong>Club</strong> members volunteer at the SCA library. The<br />
library is located at Independence Center and is available<br />
to all SCA residents on the honor system. The collection<br />
includes fiction and nonfiction, paperback and hardcover.<br />
Book donations are welcomed, but due to space<br />
constraints, only books published in the past eight to ten<br />
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 />

OPERA<br />
A new “Carmen” for the Met.<br />
Richard Eyre (Producer of this 2010<br />
production) has had no shortage of<br />
success directing women in largerthan-life<br />
roles, both on stage and<br />
on screen. As complete and<br />
unforgettable as such real and fictional<br />
characters as Iris Murdoch, Hedda<br />
Gabber, Miss Adelaide, Violetta<br />
Valery, and even Mary Poppins may<br />
be Bizet’s Carmen. It is something else<br />
entirely. A sexual outsider embroiled<br />
in a furious face-off with death.<br />
“Carmen would say her character is fate,” Eyre has<br />
remarked. “But how much freedom is she going to be<br />
allowed, considering she’s a woman who is going to live<br />
her life as she chooses? Because she is a gypsy, she’s<br />
continuously unacceptable – unacceptable, indeed, by<br />
definition.”<br />
The members of Opera Lovers <strong>Club</strong> invite all residents to<br />
join us to view this Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, chorus<br />
and ballet, starring Elina Garanca, Roberto Alagna,<br />
Barbara Prittoli, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Keith Miller.<br />
Guest fee is $1 per meeting. Annual membership (January<br />
through December) is $10.<br />

improve the voting process. Clark<br />
County was also the first county in<br />
the nation to use the voter-verifiable<br />
paper trail printer and for the last 15<br />
years has set the standard for the<br />
rest of the nation when it comes to implementing<br />
technology into the voting process. Along with his duties<br />

Mexico. Everyday activities included swimming in the<br />
wonderful waters of the Sea of Cortez and beach games.<br />
Card games included Mah Jongg and Texas Hold-Em.<br />
John Strassner tried his hand at kayaking in the water and<br />
was quite a sight to behold. Like all trips, the pot lucks<br />
were wonderful, especially the Steak and Shrimp Feast.<br />
The second October trip took us to Albuquerque, NM for<br />
the International Balloon Festival. Dave & Sharon Smith<br />
led this rally. The colorful balloons numbered over 30 and<br />
were a sight to behold, especially the “Night-Glow.”<br />
Future scheduled trips include Winterfest in Laughlin,<br />
Nevada, the Branson-West festivities in Mesquite, Nevada,<br />
our annual March trip to Phoenix for baseball Spring<br />
Training and our April rally to Willow Beach at Lake Mead<br />
for water activities and possible fishing for the legendary<br />
Nevada “Marlin.” Stay tuned!<br />
Our mission is to promote fellowship among <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> residents who share an interest in traveling<br />
together in their recreational vehicles from Class A to tent<br />
trailers.<br />
Our meetings are held at 4:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday of<br />
the month (except December, June and July) in the Penn<br />
Room at Independence Center. If you are interested in a<br />
great time and making new friends, please come to a<br />
meeting or contact President George Ormsby at 492-2542.<br />
<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />
The Scrabble Plus <strong>Club</strong> meets on Friday afternoons from<br />
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Emerson/Franklin Room at<br />
<strong>Anthem</strong> Center. Anyone not a member is welcome to join<br />
us as a guest for a friendly game of Scrabble. If you want to<br />
join, membership is open to all SCA residents for only $10<br />
a year.<br />
of the Day<br />
The Scrabble “Word of the Day” is COWLING. This is a<br />
removable cover of a vehicle or aircraft engine.<br />
As the times change, so do the rules in acceptable words in<br />
Scrabble. Over 3,000 new words have been added to<br />
the official dictionary, including several slang terms<br />
like “thang” and “grrl.” Turning the most heads is the<br />
inclusion of “innit,” a condensation of “isn’t it.” Two new<br />
“Q” words have been added that don’t require a “U.”<br />
“QIN” is a Chinese zither with strings stretched across a<br />
flat box while “FIQH” is an expansion of Islamic sharia<br />
law. The push is to make the game more relevant to a<br />
generation that’s more familiar with “Words with<br />
Friends.” The Scrabble Plus <strong>Club</strong> may not recognize these<br />
words yet. Until they are printed in the dictionaries used<br />
by the club, these words may still be on the outer edges.<br />
Let’s face it, it might be fun to earn 12 points by laying<br />
down “blingy,” but you certainly won’t impress the<br />
person across that table that has just dropped “Quixotry.”<br />
That’s some thang to keep in mind – innit?<br />
October 2012 •
<strong>Club</strong> <strong>Information</strong><br />
The holiday season is fast approaching, and the members<br />
of the Sewing and Quilting <strong>Club</strong> are ready as always for all<br />
the holiday fun and traditions. Members are hard at work<br />
sewing, quilting, crocheting and knitting items for<br />
upcoming craft fairs and other community functions that<br />
the season brings. Our seasonal items such as placemats<br />
and table runners for autumn and winter holidays, as well<br />
as aprons and tree skirts are on display. Come into the<br />
sewing room and be impressed by the variety and<br />
craftsmanship of our items. Some of the profits are<br />
donated to charitable organizations and some goes to an<br />
elementary school that has been chosen by the group. We<br />
have shared interest groups that support these endeavors<br />
and perhaps one or more might be of interest to you.<br />
We have opportunities for fun and friendship. Our sewing<br />
room is available to members for use any time there is a<br />
monitor. We have member appreciation activities as well<br />
as a holiday luncheon in December. We offer classes for<br />
members who want to learn new skills or improve on<br />
existing skills. Our classes range from learning to use the<br />
sewing machine, learning to sew and quilt and learning<br />
how to knit and crochet. We have classes for more<br />
experienced sewers as well. All classes are taught by<br />
members who volunteer their time and talents. If you are<br />
interested in our group, please check out our website<br />
www.scasq.org. We are looking forward to meeting you.<br />
SHANGHAI RUMMY (PUSH)<br />
Mondays 10:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Emerson/Franklin Room<br />
If you enjoy cards that allow social conversation as you<br />
play a few hours, please join us on Mondays for Push<br />
(officially titled Shanghai Rummy.) Push is a variation of<br />
gin rummy, originating in China. The play consists of<br />
seven rounds of progressive sets of sets and runs, played<br />
by 3 or 4 people using 3 decks of cards. The number of<br />
cards held becomes quite a handful, so most players use<br />
card racks, sold by the club.<br />
We welcome new members, please join us. If you are new<br />
to the game, please call President Shirley LaChance at<br />
837-9924 to arrange a quick 10-minute instruction. Dues<br />
are $5.00 a year. The monies go toward our annual Holiday<br />
Party held the first Monday of December each year. This<br />
year's Holiday Party will be held at Ventano Restaurant,<br />
but you have to be a member to attend, so come in and join<br />
now. The weather is cooler and the people are nice and<br />
yes, even couples play.<br />

SOFTBALL<br />
Are you looking to start a new exercise program? Well here<br />
is a great way to give your body a fun wake up call every<br />
Tuesday and Friday morning.<br />
During the fall months, warm ups begin at 8:30 a.m. at<br />
<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 there.<br />
At 9:00 a.m. or so we “choose up” teams’. This keeps<br />
the atmosphere more relaxed than set teams. It truly is<br />
a 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 />

WOMEN’S GOLF<br />
Don’t forget the 3rd Annual Mixed Ryder Cup, combining<br />
members of both the Women’s and Men’s Golf <strong>Club</strong>s on<br />
October 17 & 18. The series is tied at one win each for the<br />
Revere Riders (the Red Team) and Paul’s Patriots (the Blue<br />
Team.) Gary Cranford of UBS, who sponsors both the<br />
Men’s and Women’s Golf <strong>Club</strong>s, will host a<br />
pre-tournament Challenger’s Cocktail Party on October<br />
16. The tournament dates changed after the September<br />
article by one day. Hopefully, all of you are signed up for<br />
this popular and fun event.<br />
Our <strong>Club</strong> Championship is also scheduled this month on<br />
October 30 & 31. One round will be played on the<br />
Lexington and the other on the Concord. An awards<br />
luncheon will follow the second day’s round. The<br />
tournament is flighted, so all members should plan to<br />
participate.<br />
After the summer break, our regular monthly meetings<br />
resumed in September. Our monthly meetings are<br />
normally held right after golf the first Tuesday of each<br />
month. You can earn an extra point towards playing in the<br />
Troon Cup, learn of upcoming events, get golf questions<br />
answered and learn about rules of golf by attending these<br />
meetings. Each month we reveal another “UBS Player of<br />
the Month,” sponsored by Gary Cranford. In addition, it is<br />
a good way to get to know and socialize with the other<br />
ladies in our <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
Members should be receiving their Holiday Party<br />
invitation in October, along with their 2013 statement for<br />
dues, hole-in-one pot, and Concord and Lexington<br />
Ringers. All members are welcome to attend the Holiday<br />
Party whether you play in the 18-hole group, the 9iners, or<br />
haven’t played in any of the play days. The Holiday Party<br />
Committee has special plans in the works for our party in<br />
December, so be sure to get your reservation in.<br />
The 9iners have changed their weekly play day from<br />
Thursday afternoons to Tuesday afternoons. This enables<br />
the 9iners to come early for lunch to join the 18-hole<br />
players after their round. Then the 9iners will head to the<br />
Concord.<br />
SCAWGC welcomes new members for 18-hole play on<br />
Tuesday mornings and 9-hole play on Tuesday afternoons.<br />

WOODCHIPS<br />
Some of the more popular projects completed by members<br />
of SCA Woodchips woodworking club are large and small<br />
furniture items suitable for use in SCA homes. Murphy<br />
beds for bedrooms and casitas are popular for their ability<br />
to fold up and provide space for multi-purpose use of the<br />
room. Small furniture items, such as end tables, coffee<br />
tables and magazine racks are always in demand and can<br />
be found under construction on a typical work day in<br />
our shop.<br />
Larger furniture items including beds, bookcases and<br />
chester drawers can be a challenge to build but many<br />
members regularly take on that challenge with high<br />
quality results. The pictures below show veteran<br />
woodworker Phil Menser with his recently completed<br />
barrister’s book case. It is built of walnut with raised-panel<br />
construction and glass-front doors. It has a clear finish that<br />
brings out the natural beauty of the walnut.<br />
Woodchips membership is open to all SCA residents for<br />
only $25.00 a year. After mandatory safety training, you<br />
will be on your way as a woodworker. Our shop, which is<br />
located at the rear of Independence Center, is open<br />
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for member training<br />
and shop projects; and Thursday through Saturday, 9:00<br />
a.m. – 2:00 p.m. for general member use. Check the<br />
Woodchips website at: www.scawoodchips.org for<br />
information on the club and pictures of many of our<br />
members’ projects. Stop by the shop or contact Dan<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.
