Sun Rays Needs Photogs and Writers

Help tell the stories and capture the moments that make our community great! Sun Rays magazine is looking for motivated volunteer writers and photographers to contribute to our monthly magazine.

imgPHOTOGRAPHERS: As a Sun Rays photographer, you’ll shoot community activities, collaborate with writers on feature photography and capture Sun City’s largest events. Because each photographer is unique, we encourage photo volunteers to stay true to their creative vision. Photographers receive full credit and retain all rights to their work.

WRITERS: Our writers work with Sun Rays editors to plan and produce mid- to feature-length articles based on a monthly schedule. Writers are encouraged to pitch ideas and keep an ear out for any interesting topics. Though volunteers are welcome to write in their own style, they should have a solid command of the English language. All writers receive credit and recognition for their contributions.

ALL volunteers should be able to work independently and adhere to deadlines.

If you enjoy meeting interesting people, peeking behind the scenes and seeing your work in print, contact us today!

As Sun City’s most relied-upon communications resource, Sun Rays offers community information, event details and features on travel, local history and life experiences. If interested, contact [email protected].

March Watering

Submitted by Carlton Mathis, Common Area & Irrigation Superintendent, [email protected]

Rainfall has been abundant enough that I am going to leave irrigation off through the rest of this month. We will see what April brings.

The City allows residents to water only on certain days of the week based on their address. Even addresses are allowed to water on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Odd addresses are allowed to water Tuesday Thursday, and Saturday. There is no watering allowed on Monday.

If you choose to irrigate, my recommendation for watering would be for no more than two days per week, and no more than a 25% water budget/seasonal adjust. However, weather forecasters are suggesting the possible return of rain next week, so be ready to turn those controllers off.

The Water Matters Team is available to help familiarize you with your irrigation system, set up your controller or provide a complete and thorough evaluation of your irrigation system. Email [email protected] to request assistance.
