Wildfire Community Preparedness Day

Saturday, May 2
9 .m. • CCAC

Submitted by the Firewise Group

Tomorrow will be a beautiful morning to get out and clear some small junipers (cedar). Temperatures are predicted to be in the upper 60's to upper 70's with clear skies during the morning. Start with some refreshments before attacking the junipers. Then come back for lunch!

Meet at Cowan Creek Amenity Center (CCAC) before 9 a.m. for coffee and donuts. We will have a short safety briefing before fanning out and doing clearing near the Center. We will work until about 11:30 a.m. then return for a lunch of brats, hotdogs, chips and beverages as a reward for your service.

What to wear and bring: Closed toe shoes are required and long pants, gloves, and shirts with long sleeves are highly recommended. Bring your hand-held pruners and limb loppers marked with your name.

SPECIAL: The Georgetown Fire Department Wildfire Crew and their brush truck plan to be with us all morning unless they get a call!

There is still time to RSVP. For any questions please contact [email protected] or [email protected].

Cowan Creek Amenity Center to Receive a USPS Drop Box

Submitted by Jim Romine, Executive Director, [email protected]

The United States Postal Service has agreed to install a blue drop box like we have in the Social Center parking lot for our residents' mail and convenience. It will be located in the parking lot of the Cowan Creek Amenity Center and accessible by car or golf cart. With all of the red curbs in this lot, we did not have many choices that the USPS would agree to, but they did agree to this location. We have installed the concrete pad for it to sit on and hopefully it will be installed the week of May 4th!

Remembering those
who shaped our lives

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day provide occasions for us to celebrate and honor special people who’ve lifted us, guided us and helped shape our lives. Sun Rays magazine invites residents to contribute for possible publication to a feature article planned for its June issue called “Lessons Learned.”

Your submission should be about someone you’d like to honor who taught you some of life’s important lessons, and what you learned from that person. It might be a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, special friend or someone else. Please limit your submission to 250 words or less and turn it in by May 5 to Peggie Evans in the Communications Department or email her at [email protected].

Document Shredding

Submitted by Krystal Wilson, Director of Communications

During the Annual Shred Day Event on Tuesday, Sun City residents were able to take spring cleaning one step further and shred more than 20,000 lbs of paper! Big thanks to our COPs and loading volunteers who made sure lines moved according to plan and residents stayed safely in their cars. While the event hours were advertised to last until Noon OR until the truck filled, participation was so high this year that for the first time we filled BOTH shred trucks at 11 a.m. We understand the community is growing, and based on this year’s surge in participation we are exploring options to increase the capacity of the shred event for next year. Please click below for other shredding resources.
