6 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | OCTOBER 2022 | What is a District Delegate? We have been asked this question many times. There are a number of answers. The simple answer is: the District Delegate and the Alternate Delegate are elected officials who represent the residents of their District. The more complete answer is that the District Delegate is a leader who governs a District in all aspects of its existence. The scope of the elected position comes from the By-Laws and CC&Rs of Sun Lakes Country Club founding documents. That is the legal path of the District Delegate and Alternate Delegate. The practical operation of a District is made up of many chores. The Delegate must be an organizer, a leader of their residents, a party planner, a treasurer, a good note taker, an answering machine of all questions and probably much more. The Delegate is a volunteer who is elected to keep their residents in touch with the community at large. When people move to Sun Lakes, they move into a community of rules and regulations. The District Delegate is the conduit where questions, answers, information go both ways. If the Delegate is not aware of the information or answer, they know where to find it. All Districts have an Alternate Delegate, Zone Captains, and others to help and advise them. They organize events such as dinners, potlucks, brunches, golf tournaments, breakfasts, meetings and so on. It is wonderful to have a staff meeting of the District and have everyone contribute to the organizing of an event. Most Districts have a Social Committee. Together with the Zone Captains, they plan the schedule of events for the year. There was a time when each District had five or six events each year and the attendance was great. Now we have two or three Districts combining to stage an event, and it is difficult to get a decent attendance. The District Delegate Assembly is the "official" recommendation group to the Board of Directors. In the past, the Assembly has recommended various Advisory Committees, traffic improvements, lifestyle changes, and rules and regulations. They have made surveys, distributed questionnaires, assisted Advisory Committees, and assisted the Board of Directors in a variety of requests. The District Delegate is truly a representative of his or her District. We sincerely hope that when your Delegates complete their commitment, that you are interested enough to follow in their footsteps. We always have a need for leadership, whether it is the Board of Directors or the District Delegate positions. Over the years, Sun Lakes has thrived on the number of volunteers wanting to help our HOA. Is it your turn? ~ Joe Formino, Chairman, District Delegate Assembly DISTRICT DELEGATE ASSEMBLY REPORT What is a District Delegate? Please apply the following updated guidelines to your trash management: BONES: Wrap all fish bones in a magazine page (not the Lifestyles Magazine) then with two sheets of newspaper (not the Banning Gazette). Hold this together with a disposable red rubber band. Chicken bones must be wrapped in a single page from the Banning Gazette. SOUP: Leftover soup must be placed in a resealable sandwich bag. Place the bag of soup in the GREEN trash can under two layers of garden waste. If you don't have garden waste, you can purchase some at Home Depot at a reasonable price. BOXES & BAGS: You will soon be getting a yellow trash can to be used ONLY for Amazon or Walmart boxes and plastic grocery bags which will be sorted and reused. Cans placed near the curb must face east on days with a "U" in them. All other days, place the cans at a 33° angle to your neighbor's front porch unless the day is overcast, then place them at a 54° angle. OVERSIZED ITEMS: If you have oversized items, like an old sofa or lawnmower, these must be placed in the new orange trash can and will be picked up every other Wednesday except in months with three Wednesdays when it will be picked up on the second Tuesday. The orange trash can factory was closed due to COVID. Do not paint black cans orange. Monkey Pox has again shut the factory so there are only a limited number of orange cans. If you did not get an orange can before the shortage, you must wait until you have one to throw oversized items away. If you own a 1950 Studebaker, please do not park it on the curbside on alternate Mondays. These rules are in effect as of March 2019. ~ Nick Polcino OFFICIAL TRASH SCHEDULE OFFICIAL TRASH SCHEDULE
