First, I would like to thank all of you who did participate in
the recent Sun City Texas Board of Directors election, with a
special thanks to those who voted for my re-election. We have
a very important two years ahead of us and I look forward to
being a part of that.
While not all of us can or wish to get involved in the Board or
in the many committees that make up our governance system
in our community, we can all participate by voting. I recently
learned a few interesting statistics on the recent voter turnout
that I’d like to share.
Let me start by commending and giving kudos to the top three
neighborhoods: N27 led the pack with an outstanding 92.6
percent of its houses voting, followed by N20 at 77.3 percent
and, I am proud to say, my own N31 with 70.8 percent. Our
low was 21.3 percent and the average was 39.7 percent―still
better than many elections.
Gary Preston, a newly elected Board Member, lives in N27
and, as already noted, I live in N31. Although I can’t speak
about N27, I can tell you that N31 is a very active group and
has several participants on committees and sub-committees,
so maybe the active atmosphere does rub off on others.
I am also happy to report that in the recent application and ap-
pointment process for new committeemembers, there was an ex-
cellent turnout, both in the number and quality of the applicants.
These are, in my judgment, important qualities that contribute
to the continuation and betterment of the great lifestyle in this
community that we call home. These volunteers work hard
and spend many hours of their retirement time at their new
“jobs,” but they find it rewarding and satisfying when they see
the results.
Thus, I encourage all of you to give serious consideration to get-
ting involved. Go to a few committee meetings―the times and
places are all listed on page 8 in the
Sun Rays
―and see if there
is something there of special interest to you. Or if you prefer not
to make the commitment to a full committee, maybe there is a
sub-committee to which you could contribute with less time com-
mitments. Thosewhomay be interested in serving on the BOD, or
learningmore about what we do, should attend someWorkshops,
Town Halls and meetings. We need more candidates for this
important position. Besides the contributions you are making
to the community as a whole, it is a great way to meet and get
to know more of your fellow residents. Try it―you might like it!
