Workers on Sun City Blvd. Use Caution!

Submitted by Dave Hahn, Director of Facilities Maintenance

imgWork has begun on this year’s landscape improvements along Sun City Boulevard. For the next few months, expect to see workers alongside Sun City Blvd. between Sundance Lane and Texas Drive. At times, the boulevard will be reduced to one lane and coned off. Please be alert and drive carefully in this area, we certainly don’t want any accidents. Thank you for your patience as we continue to make Sun City Texas beautiful.

Friendly Reminders:
Leaf Blower Don'ts

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

Falling leaves are Mother Nature’s way of saying the season is changing and that it's time to pull out our rakes and blowers and keep our yards looking great. Please know, while Mother Nature may blow these around and into the streets and other’s yards, it is not ok for residents to do this. We have received reports of residents blowing leaves into the common areas, streets, storm drains and neighbor’s yards, thus making the leaves someone else’s problem. Not OK. Furthermore, if the City catches you blowing leaves into a storm drain or your neighbor films you doing this, you may face a penalty from the City as this is a violation of City Ordinance. Furthermore, if you live adjacent to the storm drain, you do not want to do anything to clog it up and cause yourself or neighbors any flooding concerns. So, please properly dispose of your leaves and do not make them someone else’s problem.

Georgetown Code of Ordinances: Health and Hazard 8, Section 8.20.020 Specific conditions. S. Littering within the confines of the City. It shall also be unlawful to discard or dump litter, trash, products of cutting or trimming of vegetation, appliances, household goods, or any other manner of Refuse upon any premises or property within the City, except for legal disposal at the City’s Waste Collection Station.

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].
