Updates and Re-Openings   As Sun City Texas begins to re-open facilities on a transitional basis, remember that it is an individual choice to participate in any CA activity or to enter a venue. Anyone who chooses to participate is doing so at their own risk. Please take your personal safety and the safety of others seriously during this particularly difficult time.   The following clubs and organizations have submitted transitional guidelines to use CA facilities. Please click the below link to view their board approved transitional guidelines:    Transitional Guidelines for CA Indoor Amenities UPDATE click here>> Georgettes UPDATE click here>> Softball UPDATE click here>> All outdoor restrooms are now open   For Facilities updates, click here>> Mask Up Residents are asked to wear masks when visiting our Farmers Market and WOW! Book Mobile in our parking lots. We have made it mandatory that both Farmers Market and WOW! Book Mobile vendors wear masks to be in Sun City. This is to protect you. Please show the same respect and protect yourself, your neighbors and vendors!  Golf Cart Crossing  Pedestrian Crosswalk Golf Cart Crossing vs. Pedestrian Crosswalks   Now that golf is back in full 'swing,' we are seeing more golf carts on the streets and maneuvering the courses. Did you know there are street crossings specifically for golf carts? The golf cart crossing has a striped pattern and a traffic sign showing a golf cart. Golf carts must stop at the stop sign on the path before safely crossing. This crossing is for golf carts or golfers who are walking the course and carrying their clubs. Pedestrians need to use the pedestrian crosswalk.   The pedestrian crosswalks have two parallel white lines (no stripes) and a pedestrian traffic sign. As we have recently reported, we have many new pedestrian crosswalks with the flashing lights as an added alert for drivers to stop, but remember you must press the button for the light to flash. Drivers, remember that pedestrians have the right of way - make sure to check the crosswalks as you drive.  Tell us About Your Trip of a Lifetime Travel can be many things: a break from the everyday, a window into another world or even an experience which changes you forever. For our August issue, Sun Rays wants to hear about the trip you’ll never forget.   Please send your “Trip of a Lifetime” story to [email protected] by Friday, June 5 for possible inclusion. We respectfully ask that submissions be limited to 250 words or less.
