SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORSPresident’s ReportBoard’s Organizational Meeting. The newly constitutedBoard resulting from this year’s election will hold itsorganizational meeting starting at 10:00 a.m. on May 10th.At this meeting our Board will elect officers and establishcommittee liaison assignments.Tax Audit Update. Our special tax counsel and membersof our Tax Task Force met with the IRS on March 21. TheIRS has granted us time to submit additional informationsubstantiating our position. The IRS will not issue a noticeof deficiency while our discussions with them continue.We anticipate that our discussions will take at least sixmore months before a resolution is possible.2013 Association Budget. Our Finance Committee andstaff have been working on next year’s budget since earlyFebruary. Our Board will hold a budget workshop todiscuss the guidelines for the 2013 budget on May 15starting at 10:00 a.m. A pre-meeting at 9:00 a.m. willprovide an overall review of our budgeting process.Management Contract Preparations. Our Association hasbeen managed under contract by RMI Management, LLCsince 2006. To read this contract, search for “ManagementAgreement” using the site search feature of the SCAwebsite. The current contract expires at the end of thisyear, at which time the contract will continue on amonth-to-month basis. Our Board has appointed twogroups to provide information on the future managementof our Association.A task force composed of three directors andrepresentatives from the Finance, Community Lifestyleand Property and Grounds committees have beenholding public workshops to develop our community’sexpectations for the management of our Association. Asecond task force composed of member volunteers willassess the availability of management companies capableof managing an association as large and complex as ours.The Board will use the information developed by thesetwo groups in making decisions about the futuremanagement of our Association.Government Affairs. Nevada lawmakers have written alengthy and complex set of laws regulating homeownerassociations. These laws apply to everything from smallneighborhood associations that just manage entrancegates to associations like ours, with community buildingsserving thousands of residents. Our Board’s legislativetask force has been meeting with representatives of severalother large associations to identify and address legislativeand regulatory issues shared by large associations. Thegoal of this process is to provide lawmakers with proposedlegislative and regulatory changes from the perspectiveof the volunteers governing large associations. Ourlegislative task force will recommend proposed changes toour Board for adoption as Association goals.Anthem Center Traffic Circle. The traffic circle at the mainAnthem Center entrance continues to create confusion andpanic stops to avoid accidents. Most problems can beavoided by remembering that traffic always flows in acounter-clockwise direction around the traffic circle, and avehicle within the traffic circle has the right of way over avehicle entering the traffic circle.Traffic Enforcement. The Henderson Police Department isresponsible for enforcing the traffic laws throughout ourcommunity. Police cruisers regularly patrol both our mainstreets and the streets within villages. The police also rely onour residents to learn about specific problem areas. You canprovide this information by calling the traffic hotline at(702) 267-5099 or by using the “Contact Us” tab atwww.cityofhenderson.com Provide information about thespecific day and time of the complaint and the type ofproblem (speeding, running a stop sign, etc.)Policy Governance. Our Board spends most of its time andeffort reviewing and acting on recommendations made byour standing committees, special task forces, andmanagement staff. In essence, we are reactive rather thanproactive. Indeed, this is the normal approach followed byAmerican governing boards, whether they oversee abusiness, a non-profit organization, or a government entity.This approach is so common that many assume it is the onlyoption.We recently learned there is an alternative approach gainingacceptance, which is referred to as the Policy GovernanceModel. Under this approach, our Board would establish theend results that are the goals of our Association, establishthe limits placed on the attainment of these end results, anddevelop the methods to monitor accomplishment of theseend results. Our Board is currently studying the potentialbenefits and likely difficulties of applying this approach toour Association. A detailed article discussing the PolicyGovernance Model can be found atwww.carvergovernance.com/pg-np.htmShredder Truck. Your next opportunity to have sensitiverecords shredded will be on Saturday, May 5, from 8:00 a.m.to noon. You will need to show your SCA activities card tohave your documents shredded.Jim Long,Board President6 Sun City Anthem • May 2012

MAKING A DIFFERENCEPickleballThe Fun Sport with the Funny NameWhen a clue on the TV game-show “Jeopardy” stumps allthree contestants, you are looking at a response that isesoteric, to say the least. And so it is not surprising thatwhen the correct answer was given — a cross betweentennis and ping pong, this sport was named for a dog, nota gherkin — it elicited silence instead of a correspondingquestion.But in March 2011, when emcee Alex Trebek announcedthe answer, pickleball, certain viewers in Sun City Anthemhad already gotten it right. That's because more than 90very active members of the SCA Pickleball Club here playon the sport's eight courts at Liberty Center.Pickleball is an organized activity with national andinternational governing bodies. Although it resemblestennis, key differences make pickleball more accessible toa wider range of players, including seniors. The speed ofthe pickleball ball — which is a three-inch diameterwaffle-like plastic ball with air holes — is one-third of theaverage speed of a tennis ball. The size of the court is alsoone-third of the area of a tennis court. To visualize thephysical dimensions of the game, imagine two tenniscourts at Liberty Center transformed into eight pickleballcourts.The smaller court area combined with the slower-movingball makes the pace of pickleball easier to play thantennis. The game is also not as strenuous on the body, asless running is required to cover the court.Players hit the polymer wiffle ball with a hard paddle overa net approximately six inches lower than that used intennis. The ball is served underhand and the return ofservice must be allowed to bounce by the server. Once youget the hang of it, the game is terrific fun and a vigorouscardio-vascular workout.The game has a history as colorful and quirky as itsname. Back in the day, before Nintendo Wii and othertechnologically-driven entertainment, people actuallyimprovised games to amuse themselves. So it happenedthat in 1965, a congressman from Washington state, JoelPritchard, and two friends created a game to entertaintheir kids. Using whatever gear was on hand — a badmintonnet, wiffle ball and some plywood — they cut paddlesfrom the plywood, hung the net and voila! — pickleballwas born. Right in Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard's backyard.Given the elapsed time since its origins, how the gameacquired its name is steeped in folklore. A popular versionis that the game was named after the family dog, Pickles.The wiffle ball was the dog's toy, and whenever there wasan errant shot, he would retrieve it and hide the ball.Ergo, it was Pickles' ball. That story persists, despitewritten accounts that Joan Pritchard told the press thatPickles didn't join the family until 1967.A shorter rendering of the story is that Joan Pritchardsaid the game reminded her of a rowing competition inwhich the slowest oarsmen were assigned to the “pickle–By Sherryl Dalyboat.” The USA Pickleball Association — which publishesthe Official Pickleball Handbook, sponsors tournamentsand ranks top players — cites the “Pickles the dog” versionon its website, USAPA.org.The game can be rigorous when played one-on-one but,according to Pickleball Club president Doug Kimball, “Weare currently only playing doubles, two on two, as singlesis rather difficult and demanding. Also, games arerelatively short because 11 points wins.”Drop-in play occurs during normal club hours, whichare Monday-Wednesday-Friday and weekend mornings7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and Tuesday-Thursday-Sundayevenings 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. During those times,players can simply show up to play. The winners of agame remain on the court, but split up to play with twonewcomers, thereby creating rotation of players. Thiscontinues throughout drop-in play time and gives everybodywho shows up, with or without a partner, theopportunity to participate and to pair up with manydifferent players.Even if you haven't handled a racket in decades andconsider yourself a couch potato, Doug says you'rewelcome to join the club. Free classes for residents arescheduled in response to demand. Express your interestby sending an email to Jack Silas,scapickleballclasses@earthlink.net. For those new to thegame, balls and paddles are available.Although the SCA Pickleball Club does hold annualtournaments, for the most part, Doug Kimball says, “SCApicklers just wanna have fun.” Club members get togetherevery third Thursday evening at the courts for a potluckof finger foods and have coffee at the courts the firstSaturday of every month, which is also during open play.Kimball urges you to come, bring a friend or neighbor,and join in the fun.Please check the SCA Pickleball Club's website,anthempickleball.com, for more information or emailDoug Kimball at dkimball16619@msn.com.May 2012 • Sun City Anthem 9

teeth Eat. Smile. Kiss.a conversation with Gregg C. Hendrickson DDSabout dental implants and implant supported denturesDid you know that one in four seniorcitizens are missing at least one tooth?(Some are missing upwards of ten.)Add in how many seniors aredissatisfied with their dentures and I'llbet that number increases to one inthree!Many seniors have turned to DentalImplants and Implant SupportedDentures to solve their smile anddenture issues. I asked local dentist,Gregg Hendrickson about implants.Why Dental Implants?Dental Implants can restore smiles toa beautiful state. I can restore a singletooth or your entire mouth. It justdepends on what a client wants toachieve. Most clients want to have agood looking smile, be able to eathealthy and nutritious food and don'twant a denture flopping around intheir mouth. Implants can fix all ofthose issues.Tell me about Implant Supported Dentures.My clients love these! Implantsupported dentures are essentiallydentures that snap or screw intoimplants. If you choose the snap inimplant supported denture you cantake them in or out of your mouth. Ifyou choose the screw in Implantsupported denture they arepermanently attached to yourimplants and only your dentist canremove them. Both options arefantastic. The snap in option will costyou less than the screw in option.What Is the benefit of an Implant?A single tooth implant is straightforward. I am replacing a missingtooth that might show when a personsmiles. They get their complete smileback. No more covering their smilewith their hand when they talk or eat.What is the benefit of ImplantSupported Dentures?A glamorous smile that you can eatand talk with! Many times, clients areeither dissatisfied with their denture orare missing enough teeth to want adenture. We'll talk about giving thema beautiful smile. We'll talk abouthaving teeth securely in their mouthso their denture doesn't slosh around.Through the process of restoring theirteeth we really are restoring theirconfidence and their zest for life. Theycan eat again, smile again, they caneven kiss again! For some people it's areturn to romance in their life.What about these places offeringteeth in a day?In my opinion, I wouldn't send myfriends or family there. When you putan implant into bone, your bone needstime to heal. Bone healing takesanywhere from three to six months. Itis that simple. Your natural teethweren't made in a day and it is myopinion that you shouldn't be havingsurgery and replacement teeth all in aday. It didn't take a day to lose yourteeth and I personally not comfortablewith any process that says you canhave them all back in a day.advertisementWe are loving life!What advice would you give topeople looking for implants?Do your homework. Find out whodoes implants in your area, andschedule a consultation. Don't feelpressured. Make sure you meet withthe dentist. How can treatment bediscussed if the dentist hasn'tbothered to look in your mouth!Tell us why people should chooseyour office.Well, I'm pretty sure I am the bestdentist in Henderson! Honestly, mydental team is just fabulous. We stillbelieve in customer service and do afantastic job at delivering that to ourclients. We are not a dental mill, weoffer implants from start to finish atour office, we offer sedation so clientswon't feel a thing, our prices are veryreasonable, and we offer complimentaryconsultations to discuss options andanswer any questions.How can people reach you?My office is located on the northeastcorner of Horizon Ridge and CoronadoCenter. Call me at 702-735-3284.Gregg C. Hendrickson DDS2790 W. Horizon Ridge PkwyHenderson, N V 89052702-735-3284

What is our area of focus? The otherstanding committees all deal with very specific subjects,and then there’s us – “lifestyle,” kind of vague.The majority of our time is devoted to all our wonderfulclubs. We just approved club number 51, The FilipinianaClub. A lot of time was spent reviewing their charter andbylaws, and helping them get off to a good start. The clubscome to us when they want to revise their bylaws or holda special event, something open to the SCA community,not only club members. The clubs really keep us on ourtoes, and as a result, we have begun another round ofrevisions to the Chartered Club Guidelines & Rules.This year, for the first time, the standing committee chairsare meeting together, informally, to strengthen ourcommunication with each other and discuss topics thatoverlap. Committee members are attending othercommittee meetings as needed. We are striving to make iteasier for clubs and residents to navigate through thesystem.With the current lack of a restaurant on campus, the clubshave been inconvenienced by not having a caterer with aliquor license easily accessible for parties and events. Wedid some research and learned about the NV approvedAlcohol Awareness Course which certifies “pourers” toserve liquor. We then wrote a new Chartered ClubsActivities and Alcohol Policy, which was disseminated tothe clubs and will become an appendix to the CharteredClub Guidelines.Our two monthly meetings are open to the community.The second one in May will be Friday, May 11, at 9:00 a.m.PROPERTIES & GROUNDSNext Meeting: May 8, 2012, 10:00 a.m.Location: Arlington Room, Anthem CenterChairperson: Stan LenciContact Info: 702/953-5796 or sjlenci@att.netThe members of the Properties and GroundsCommittee (P&G) would like to welcome RoyMontambeau as our newest member.

Sun City AnthemCommunity PatrolEMERGENCY –911Non-Emergency -311SCACP - 614-6751Consider Volunteeringfor your Community Patrol!This article discusses the multiple layers of security within Sun City Anthem.Layer 1: Neighborhood Watch Program.This is a nationwide program started in 1972 by theNational Sheriffs’ Association. Since that time,Neighborhood Watch Programs have become one of themost effective means of fighting crime in communities.This is because neighborhood residents are the most likelyto know what is going on and the most likely to see a crimeand call for help. The Neighborhood Watch Program issimple in approach in that it only requires residents toform a concerned group of neighbors and to meet therequirements of the local law enforcement agency. Fromthat point on, it is just being observant of theneighborhood surroundings, looking out for each otherand reporting suspicious activity. For our community, callthe Henderson Police Department at 311, or 267-5000.Additional information on the SCA Community NeighborhoodWatch Program (CNWP) can be found on theSCA HOA website, by calling 638-5770, or by contactingyour SCA Community Patrol office at 614-6751. The nextCNWP meeting is May 3.Layer 2: Community Patrol Walking/Biking Volunteers.Patrol members at layer 2 consist of a two-hour patrol oftheir village and adjoining villages wearing the appropriateuniform once a week. This method provides a “slowpatrol” by our members who are very familiar with theirvillages and neighborhood streets. It also provides a moreeffective way of communicating with local residents. Thisalso works well with the CNWP. I often see residentswalking and biking around our community and think ofhow effective it would be to have them all in Patroluniform, a very visible deterrent to criminal activity. Inaddition to showing you care about your community, it isa great way to “GIVE SOMETHING BACK” byvolunteering and performing a great service to yourcommunity.Layer 3: Community Patrol Driving Volunteers.The Community Patrol has three vehicles, clearly markedSun City Anthem Community Patrol, and equipped with2-way radios, cell phones, scanners and emergency lights.Layer 3 volunteers drive these vehicles and have contactwith dispatchers in the office (when staffed) andaround-the-clock contact with the Watch Commander andthe Patrol Chiefs. We do our best to have at least onevehicle out at all times on our streets, watching for anysuspicious activities or things that look out of place in ourcommunity. During the hours of darkness, our volunteersalso look for open garage doors and blinking “911” lights,indicators that something may be wrong at thoseparticular homes.Layer 4: Henderson Police Department.Henderson Police patrols are very active in ourcommunity. They often patrol our village streets in the latenight and early morning hours while most of us are allpeacefully sleeping. They are very responsive to calls fromour residents. Layer 4 provides a tremendous deterrent tocrime in our community.AttendThurs., May 10at 5PMPrestige Travel695 N.

Facilities/LandscapingMay~ Mother’s Day is May 13Mother’s Day was first observed in 1908, designated by Presidential proclamation,and recognized officially by Congress and the President in 1914.Southern Nevada Water Authority’s official start of summer as related to our watergroup “E” in Sun City Anthem is the first of May. This means you may now waterlandscape any day of the week. Please note, however, that even though watering dailyis allowed, you may not run sprinklers between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.on any day. This restriction was put into effect due to the evaporation that occurs fromthe hotter days and the usual almost daily afternoon winds. Watering with a handheldhose or testing irrigation with supervision is allowed. If you do not follow these SNWAmandates, it could result in a water-waste fee or citation to the property owner.May is one of the most beautiful months of the year. The cold weather is gone andwe usually have a couple months before the hotter temperatures arrive here inAnthem. Wild flowers are beginning to bloom in the desert areas and deciduoustrees are sprouting their new spring growth, all of which attract all the birds andanother new population of rabbits.Now that almost every species of tree or plant is showing off their new spring growth, we are still very busy inour quest to identify and plant all of the areas where landscape has been damaged due to the freezingtemperatures this past winter. For those who have inquired about plants missing in different locations, we doappreciate your comments and patience while we complete this project.There are many of the native Cacti that have beautiful flowers. Thefeatured photograph is an Echinocereus Cacti, often referred to asthe “Comb Hedge Hog.” This particular species of cactus is muchloved by cactus growers worldwide. There are severalcharacteristics that collectively account for their popularity. AllEchinocereus are small plants. In the wild, some species may formlarge mounds of many hundreds of stems, but this takes manyyears and these same species are still quite manageable incultivation. They have some of the most brilliant flowers of thecactus family and range in color from electric-pink to deep scarlet.In the wild, Echinocereus range from as far north as South Dakotaand south through most of Mexico, from low elevation deserts tomountainsides of 8,000 feet or more.With the prime goal of keeping our community beautiful, weregularly walk our grounds and interact with the crews from threelandscape companies that maintain our outdoor areas. Theseareas include: the grounds around the Centers; SCA streetscapes;desert re-veg areas; the common areas and gate maintenance in Pinnacle Village; thelandscape around the duplex homes; and rock drains within our community. We always welcome theopportunity to speak with the homeowners.

Foundation Assisting SeniorsBy Favil WestFor more than 30 years, the Del Webb Corporationsuccessfully marketed “active lifestyle” as the foundationof the Sun City concept. It sold me, it sold my friends, andit sold you. It is a great concept, but one not withoutshortcomings. What is left unsaid, is how long this “activelifestyle” and “living on” can be maintained and whathappens when, for whatever reason, one cannot maintainthe lifestyle they bought into.By visiting older established age-qualified communitieswe learned that as the community ages many are lefthomebound or with limited abilities to get out and enjoyretirement. They suffer falls, strokes, joint & mobilityproblems, macular degeneration, diabetes and many otherage-related illnesses.In spite of age-related problems, we’ve learned that mostof our resident seniors want to stay in their communitiesand remain active as long as possible. Nearly all havestarted a whole new life with new friends and newactivities and no longer fit in to the former life. Since early2002 the Foundation has been addressing the special needsof seniors in the age-qualified communities. TheFoundation has, over the 10-plus years it has been inoperation, become the cornerstone of the seniorcommunity. Here at Sun City Anthem, it was the solenegotiator for the design and construction of theCommunity Service Building, which it later arranged tohave donated to the Association. It obtained and donatedthe van used by the Community Service Group, It has beeninstrumental in the funding of much of the equipment forCh. 99, and the service clubs, and retains funds for theeventual funding of the hospice.This issue of the Spirit is dedicated to the FoundationAssisting Seniors, its trustees, and its companion, theCommunity Service Club. More than ten years ago, FavilWest and Chuck Davis teamed up to form the Foundationand shortly thereafter Favil West teamed up with JerryGardberg to form the Community Service Club. In theensuing years, this partnership has grown to become avital part of the lifestyle we enjoy at Sun City Anthem.The Foundation Assisting Seniors is a 501 (c) (3)non-profit charitable corporation dedicated to improvingthe quality of life in the senior community. The Board ofTrustees of the Foundation are: Bob Berman, Liz Trosper,Charley Kilkuskie, William Fitzpatrick, Bob Sansing,Harriet Schreider, Denny Lesterson, Emile Girard,Marianne Blaha, Frank Blaha, Brian Wittman, EvonneAlpern, John Waterhouse. The officers are: Favil West,President and Chuck Davis, Vice President, Jack Silas,Treasurer, and Phyllis Washburn, Secretary, The officersand trustees are unpaid volunteers committed to assistseniors during the difficult times of illness, recovery,confinement in home, loss of spouse, disease and otherchallenges associated with aging. In conjunction with ourpartners, the Community Service Clubs, we haveresponded to more than 35,000 calls requesting service;more than 7,000 of those calls came in 2011.The Foundation plans to initiate two new programs byearly summer, redesign our website, and present a newand updated logoOne of the new programs the Foundation plans is a drugreminder service which will begin tests this month. Theother program which we plan to initiate by May willprovide singles and others with a service that will ensurethat those who are enrolled will be found if they fall, getvery sick, or pass away. This service is in response to thefact that 13 of our residents passed away without anybodyknowing. Testing of this program should begin by May.The Woman’s Club has been kind enough to donatemoney to facilitate this program, but more is needed.The long-term goals of the Foundation are to help fundconstruction of a hospice in Henderson as well as fund theoperation of a mini-bus to provide transportation toresidents who, for one reason or another can no longerdrive. The mini-bus will provide transportation from theresident’s home to the Center, the grocery store, pharmacyand/or doctor and will be free.To date, nearly 70% of all money raised by the Foundationcomes from supporters outside the community. Wereceive donations from individuals, corporations andthrough various fund-raising activities. Major donorsinclude Brian A.Wittman & Associates, InvestmentCounsel, Del Webb/Pulte, Troon Golf Management, SouthPoint Resort and Casino, Golden Gaming/PT Pubs, RobOsur’s Financial Wellness Center, Valley CrestLandscaping, Special Operation Associates, Anthem HillsBarber Salon, Ron Tiburti/Putters, Findlay Toyota, andmany others. In addition, the following clubs and/orindividuals have donated larger amounts of money: TheSewing and Quilting Club of Sun City Anthem, TheInternational Culture Club, The Women’s Club of Sun CityAnthem, Joe & Mary Lay, Dave & Sharon Smith, Favil &Pat West, Bob Sansing, Chuck & Vickie Davis, and PhyllisWashburn and Rose Huffman, the Coffee Klatch andothers.The Foundation’s major fund raising events includequarterly bingo, golf cart raffle, and most importantly theNinth Annual Foundation Assisting Seniors Charity GolfTournament, sponsored by Brian A. Wittman & AssociatesInvestment Counsel. The tournament will be heldMonday, May 28, 2012 at the Revere Golf Course.

ANTHEM AUTHORSWhat is written without effort is in general read withoutpleasureSamuel JohnsonWe have begun some new creative events. Joan Nagayawon the topic of the month contest—an obituary—with atouching memory of a dog. The three-part serial story,“Snowbound” was read. This is a project where onemember writes the first third of the story, then passes it onto the next person to complete the second part and it isthen passed on for finishing.We also circulated a paper around the table, with eachperson writing one sentence before passing it on.

I s i tr e a l l y p o s s i b l e thatt h e r e ’ s a m a t u r em a s t e r p i e c e by the world’s most cherished operacomposer that is hardly known by the public? Accordingto the conductor director, and stars of this production of LaRondine, it’s not only possible, it’s beyond question. LaRondine is first rate Puccini and, though little known,deserves a place in the repertory alongside his other greatsuccesses. It is Puccini, but there is no great tragic ending,no death. How can this be a Puccini opera? Magda,the opera’s heroine, is dreaming of love, of beingloved for herself.“Ms Gheorghiu, as Magda, sings withgleaming sound and wonderfully dusky colorings” (NewYork Times.) The story starts in Paris, in Magda’s salon.Act Two takes place in the ballroom, at Bullier’s while ActThree is stagedat a villa on the Riviera.A synopsis will be sent to club members prior to themeeting.Plan on seeing this 2009 production from the Met.Members and their guests are welcome and all residentsare invited to join us.PADDLE TENNISLiberty Center Courts- Revised spring playschedule…Tuesday, Thursday and Sundaym o r n i n g s , M o n d a y a n d We d n e s d a yevenings.

Please join us for interestingspeakers (recently Bob Massi and Governor Robert List)and lively discussion. The scheduled speaker for our nextmeeting on April 14 is Barbara Cegavske, U. S.Congressional District 4 candidate.The purpose of the RCSCA is to promote the principlesand core values of the Republican Party through educationprograms, publicity and forums for discussion and debate.We encourage such civic duties as voter registrationdrives, candidate forums, and constituent servicesworkshops and to help identify, promote and supportRepublican candidates for office. The core Republicanprinciples are constitutionally limited government, fiscaldiscipline, individual freedom and responsibility, freemarkets and economic freedom, and preserving ournational military and moral strength.Republicans and Democrats agree that the November 6,2012 election will be the most important in at least ageneration. The Republican position favors limitedgovernment, fiscal responsibility, and personalresponsibility. It appears that the Democrat position offersmore and larger government, increased spending andtaxes, and government infringement on personal freedom.The RCSCA hopes to convince our community that theformer approach is best not only for us but, moreimportantly, also for our children and grandchildren.In this and future Spirit issues we will conclude with a“Thought for the Day”, to provide food for thoughtwhen considering the November 2012 election choices.Thought for the day: The federal government spends over$3.5 trillion dollars per year. We must borrow about 40cents of every dollar to support this spending, much of itfrom China. Are the federal government programs worthborrowing money from China?Don Manning, Communication Committee MemberYou may contact Kay Dwyer, Secretary at kayc@cox.net orphone: 733-0401 for further information about the RCSCA46 Sun City Anthem • May 2012
