18 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2021 | From the Recreation Director By Elise Campbell It was so great seeing everyone's smiling faces at our Comedy Show and Fourth of July Parade last month. Congratulations to all the winners. Now that we have been able to reopen for events and entertainment, the Recreation Department has lined up some great events leading into late summer and early fall, including Activities Day and the Halloween Dog Parade. Stay tuned for more fun and exciting events coming from the Recreation Department! On another note, by the time you are reading this, you may have heard my last day was July 23. It was a pleasure working for FirstService Residential and for Sun Lakes. I thoroughly enjoyed working with all the wonderful committees, clubs, groups and the Master Board. I am truly blessed to have worked here and learned a great deal. I am confident that the future of the Recreation Department is in good hands. Keep smiling and dancing, Sun Lakers!
