SUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION
2016 APRIL NEWSLETTER
In March, SCHOA held its winter New Residents Orientation that was attended by over 100 new Sun Citians as well
as Community services organizations. Ben Roloff, SCHOA Vice President, shared his wealth of knowledge of Sun
City complete with pictures and stories. Clint Hickman, Maricopa County Supervisor from District 4, was introduced
to new residents sharing what is going in their “new district.” Steve Oaks, a new Sun City resident, said “I found the
presentations educational and the speakers entertaining; it’s
good to more about our great community. I think this is a very
good forum to learn about Sun City from a variety of sources
in a short period of time. Thank you for putting on such a good
community welcome session; well run and professionally
conducted.” The orientations are designed to offer an
opportunity for new residents to meet one another in an
interactive environment to learn about their new Community.
The Town Hall Meeting with an interactive panel from the Sun
City Community Fund and Valley of the Sun United Way
addressing “Retire United” also took place in March. The focus
of this event was to offer attendees the many choices they now
have following retirement. After making the decision to retire,
many residents find themselves wondering “What do I do
now?” The panel consisting of retirees who have made
decisions to open businesses, volunteer, go back to work and
yes, enjoy this time of life, shared their experiences how to live
a happy and fulfilling life into the 60’s, 70’s and beyond.
Sponsored by SCHOA and Valley of the Sun Retire
United, there was a very lively and informative
conversation. It was MC’d by Jim Green. Each panel member in their own way is “giving back” by sharing
knowledge as well as resources about how to live a happy and satisfying life through their involvement with
the Valley of the Sun United Way. There was a rich question and answer session as well as bringing more
clarity about the different involvement opportunities available and numerous services offered for the
residents of Sun City. Look forward to more events of this nature to educate and to conduct service projects
and foster socializing in our community. For additional information on Retire United, contact Carla Snyder
at 602 631 4884 or visit vsuw.org/retire”. Jim Green, president of the Sun City Community Fund, led the panel
in its discussion as well as enlightening meeting attendees with the history of the SCCF and its ongoing investment,
value and opportunities it offers to Sun City. Mr. Green recognized Gene Turiano, Assistant Manager, for his
investment and continuing support of Sun City and its residents. Gene assists residents when they apply for assistance
through the Sun City Community Fund as well as other SCHOA outreach programs.
SCHOA hosted the March Legislative Forum which was attended by local representatives from District 21 (Sun City)
and District 22 (Sun City West). The monthly event is held while the legislature is in session and includes Board
members from SCHOA as well as PORA. The community is invited to attend.
The 2016 Home and Garden Show is scheduled to take place on April 6 at the Sundial Center in Sun City with exhibit
space being “sold out.” This is the sixth annual event and was previously the Open Aire Market designed as an
outdoor event; this year all exhibitors will be located in the auditorium or mall. Last year over 180 businesses and
organizations attended to market their services. Many of the exhibitors are members of SCHOA’s Business Partner
Program. Members have met the qualifications that are required. The event is an opportunity for residents to meet
Business Partners “face to face” and to learn about their respective services. Businesses other than registered
Business Partners are welcome to attend; however, there is a discount for members. Membership information is
available by contacting the SCHOA office at 623 974 4718, ext. 204.
SCHOA offers dedicated advertising opportunities to its Business Partners through the website
(www.suncityhoa.org), advertising in the monthly newsletter as well as the
annually published Community Information Guide. This publication is
distributed throughout Sun City and is kept as a resource tool. Limited
advertising space is available. It is recommended that interested businesses
contact the office by the end of May if they would like to be included. A
directory has also been added to this publication offering space to include a
business name and contact phone numbers. The Community Information
Guide is given to all new Sun City residents.
Yes, 2016 is busy for SCHOA as we look forward to a new addition,
supporting the mission of “Providing for the wellbeing of Sun City through
fair and universal compliance with the CC&Rs,” and continuing to offer
programs and events for residents and SCHOA Business Partners as well as
enriching our partnerships with service organizations for the benefit of Sun City. During March, the roof and walls
were installed as well as demolition began in the existing building to upgrade and enlarge the restrooms. At this time,
completion is anticipated in late spring. SCHOA will continue to keep the Community updated regarding the progress
of the building project.
