Newly retired or new to Sun City?
Looking for a fun hobby that you never
had time to pursue? Welcome to the RC
Modelers. We build them and we run configuration. Our members organize
them: airplanes, sailboats, helicopters,
quads, powerboats, cars, and off-roaders.
Come and learn how to do it with a group
just like you. Lots of members, men and
women, new to the hobby along with some
seasoned hobbyists will show you how. We
even have a computer-controlled flight
simulator if you don’t want to do the “live
stuff.” We “fly it” at the weekly meetings.
Monthly we fly rotor craft, small airplanes
and run cars/off-road vehicles in the Social Self-Defense
Center Ballroom and do other “fun stuff”
at Berry Creek Pond.
January schedule:
Sunday, January 3, SCB:
10 a.m. Rotor Craft
noon Cars/Trucks
2 p.m. Fixed Winged Aircraft
Sunday, January 31:
1 p.m. Boating, Berry Creek Pond
Tuesdays and Saturdays:
10 a.m. Sailing, Berry Creek Pond
We fly small electric airplanes on the
golf driving range that is closed on
Mondays. We fly every evening at the
White Wing driving range 30 minutes
after the golf shop is closed. We need
light wind conditions to fly, so our flying
usually takes place in the early mornings
or evenings. If you see us out flying or
sailing, stop by and say hello. For a
Membership Application, log on to www.

The RV club brings together those
residents of our active lifestyle
community who also enjoy the
RV lifestyle. The result is a great
combination for friendships, travel and
adventure. We currently number nearly
100 rigs of virtually every style and
group RV trips to a wide variety of
destinations throughout the year; they
are listed on our website. We meet once
a month except June, July and August
when many of our members are away
traveling. Interested residents can find
membership and other information on
the club website or from our contact
listed above.

regarding Club membership and
classes.
The Self Defense Club’s primary goal is to
help our members develop awareness of
possible dangerous situations and learn
how to avoid them and how to escape or
defend themselves if attacked. You will
be taught easy-to-learn self-protection
techniques that are very effective with a
little training and practice. No fighting or
martial arts are involved.
• Club instructors are Sun City residents
with martial arts and self-defense train-

practicing with a partner to improve
your self-protection techniques.
• Membership is $10 for 2016. Member-
