CHARTERED CLUBS
Continued from the previous page
– Classes are held at the Cowan Creek
Amenity Center.
– The techniques taught are tailored to
accommodate the physical limitations
of each individual.
– Training is non-combative with no sig-
nificant physical contact.
– A portion of each class is devoted to
practice with a partner to perfect your
self-protection techniques.
– The Self Defense Club membership
dues are $5 for the balance of the year.
– Special training is offered to residents
who are required to use a cane; a cane
can be legally taken anywhere and can
be a very effective defensive weapon.
Classes are available “at no charge” to Sun
City residents who face the challenges of
Parkinson’s Disease.
Classes begin Wednesday, September 14
from 10 a.m. to noon at the Cowan Creek
Amenity Center. Training fees are $15 for
singles and $25 for couples for the six week
(once per week) training classes. You must
be a paid member of the Self Defense Club
to attend classes.
Come and bring a friend as a practice
partner.

The waiting is over! The Sun City Sing-
ers have been on a short hiatus during the
lazy days of summer, but they return to
rehearsal mode beginning September 6 in
the ballroom. The Singers are fresh off a
successful first-concert season with Director beautiful Del Webb Field to watch or play
Georgia Parmelee. The spring and sum-
mer concerts were well received by sellout
audiences; however, we are not ones to rest
on our achievements and we are ready to
begin work on our Christmas concert. Re-
hearsals are each Tuesday, most often in
the ballroom. In the event of a calendar
conflict, we rehearse at the Cowan Creek
Amenity Center. We are always looking
for fresh talent. If you enjoy choral sing-
ing and want to meet new, potential life-
long friends, please join us. Perhaps our
most anticipated shows of the year are our
Christmas concerts. Please note that we

as possible. Membership dues are $10 and
payable online at www.sctexas.org.
