| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2025 | 3 From the Master Board Happy Fourth of July! Independence Day celebrations are upon us and we hope you have plans to join us for the golf cart parade (or even be in the golf cart parade with your decorations on display) and all the fun at the Main Clubhouse throughout the day. The theme is Yankee Doodle Bash so come on down to the Main Clubhouse for the kick-off, park your lawn chair or golf cart along the route, and watch the decorated carts and cars, then head to the Main Clubhouse afterwards for some food, games, music, and fun. We hope to see you there! Summer is in full swing with entertainment on the Veranda, the Lounge and Music Under the Stars, and all of our outdoor activities like pickleball, bocce, tennis, and swimming. The Pro Shop is offering a number of ways to get started and to improve your game, so give the golf course a try with the help of our wonderful and welcoming staff at the Pro Shop. A demographics survey will be coming your way soon via your District Delegates. This is an opportunity for everyone to provide information and feedback that will help the Board plan strategically for the future of Sun Lakes. Our demographics are changing as more residents are younger and still working; communication preferences and the choices of amenities also vary widely. Please plan to complete the brief survey when it arrives and return it. Hopefully, answering a few questions about ourselves (a favorite topic!) will be easy and fun. A number of facility maintenance projects are also underway or in the planning stages related to acoustics in the Lounge, the Main Clubhouse front door, security upgrades, golf course tee box and bunker improvements, and bocce court upgrades. These are all funded through the Reserves and the Board is developing reporting and tracking tools to keep residents informed. Be safe and sane how ever you celebrate our nation's 249th birthday and remember we are the home of the free because of the brave.
