6 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JANUARY 2023 | Have you made any New Year's resolutions yet? Don't bother! You will only break them in the next few days anyway. Then you will get all worked up because you had good intentions, but they didn't last very long. We are not being "bah humbug." Why go through the exasperation when you know you aren't serious in the first place? Let's face it, the older you get, the less you need to worry about doing something you do not want to do. The great thoughts and ideas aren't so great when you take another look at them 10 days later. We know the above is true, but I do have a few ideas that will help you feel better about 2023. What if we all try to be friendlier, more neighborly this year? Using our amenities or walking in the clubhouses with a smile on your face gets you a "hi," a "hello," or a "have a great day" from everyone you encounter. You will find that the people at Sun Lakes are the friendliest in the world. They look for an excuse to say a kind word or wave at you as they drive down the street. Do yourself and me a big favor, when you see your District Delegate or Alternate Delegate, say "thank you" for all of their hard work the whole year planning district events and reporting news and information in your newsletter each month. Say "hi" to the people working at Sun Lakes. They keep our complex in great shape for us to use and maintain all of our buildings and assets for those who will move in after us. We just enjoyed the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, but those holidays are really for family and close friends. Since we live in a senior gated community, we should treat our neighbors like extended family. The more you participate in our community activities, the more people you meet and get to know better and they really become friends. Finally, we should extend a big "thank you" to our Board of Directors. They have had a long, difficult year with the budget and the problems with the Board of Equalization and the ABC Board. Operating the HOA at Sun Lakes Country Club is the same as running a town anywhere in the country. Actually, it is more intensive since we own everything within our walls, making the responsibilities much greater. We live in the greatest, most friendly place on earth, with the nicest people as neighbors — who could ask for anything more?! ~ Joe Formino, Chairman, District Delegate Assembly DISTRICT DELEGATE ASSEMBLY REPORT Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a nice holiday season. We are starting our meetings back up for the New Year. Our next meeting is scheduled for Mon., Jan. 16 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. Guide Dogs of the Desert will be our guest speaker. We are looking forward to their return and hope you all can make it. You do not have to be a member of our group to attend.
