We may only be heading into the summer months, but it is never too early to think about serving your community as a member of the RCSC Board of Directors. Board members serve a vital role in the RCSC organization, setting policy, approv- ing the annual budget and prioritizing expenditures whether for replacement, refurbishing or ordinary maintenance for RCSC’s facilities and equipment. These are important issues that have an impact on the
entire Sun City community and, thus, require the expertise, experience and knowledge that is prevalent through-
out Sun City. If you meet the qualifications, I wholeheartedly encourage you to consider running for a term on the Board of Directors this fall, as the more competitive the race is, the higher voter interest and turnout we end up having.
Qualifications are as follows: a. must be at least fifty-five (55) years of
age; b. must be a Deeded Real Estate Owner of

In response to the continued requests by cardholders for more communication, the RCSC Board of Directors has decided to make some changes to the monthly SunViews. The Board will des- ignate RCSC’s newsletter, the SunViews, as the key component for communicating important information about RCSC from the Board, including news about Board decisions, committee discussions and recommendations, corporate financials and trends, and upcoming events and activities.
As part of this change, the number of chartered club articles published in Sun- Views will be reduced effective July 1. Club articles will be published on a rota-
tion basis during the months of October through March, with no club articles being published during the other six months of the year, April through Sep- tember.
In addition, special events that are occa- sionally promoted by chartered clubs will be published in a new Events sec- tion. The Board understands some clubs may be disappointed with the decision to restrict club articles, however, the Board feels that it is vitally important that they make SunViews their primary communication tool for providing RCSC and Board information. Although a club may not have an article in the SunViews, they will still have their meeting times, loca-

The Board of Directors has formed a new Government Affairs Commit- tee, which will monitor the legislation
and actions of the Arizona State House of Representatives, the Arizona State Senate, the Arizona Corporation Com- mission, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and any and all other governmental agencies. The committee will inform the Board and Man- agement of any recommendations for actions to be taken as a result.
Members are needed to serve on this new and vital committee. If you are interested in serving, please submit a letter outlining your background and why you wish to serve on the committee to the Board Office via email at [email protected] or via mail at 10626 W. Thunderbird Blvd. Sun City, AZ 85351. For more information, call the Board Office at 623-561-4620.
tion and activity hours published on the activities pages. As their fiduciary duty prescribes, the RCSC Board decided not to increase
expenses by expanding the SunViews to accommodate both the need for more communication from RCSC and as many club articles. Reducing the club articles was the only logical solution to responding to the constant call for improved communication without adding any cost to RCSC as many cardholders do not have access to email or RCSC’s website.
The Board knows that change is not easy however they believe that taking this new focus with SunViews will provide an improved benefit to all cardholders who want to know the latest news and information about RCSC.

Financial Report - Period ending March 31, 2011
Sam Russo, 88, is using the machines at Bell Fitness Center to improve muscle mass and strength. One of his goals is to get back on the dance floor. “Building muscle is a must for anyone over 50 years of age,” states Jane Fortier, personal trainer for Daily Fit- ness. “Women in their 40s and men in their 60s lose muscle strength at a rate of 12% per decade. With only three months of proper resistance training, a senior can increase their strength by 40%, and overcome up to three decades of muscle deterioration.”
Muscle loss, due to aging, is known as Sarcopenia (pronounced sar-co- PEEN-yuh). Research shows that 80% to 90% of adults suffer from Sarcope- nia, if they don’t incorporate strength training and physical exercise into their daily regimen. Strength training increases self-confidence, improves sleep and helps with depression. Improving muscle strength is essential for balance, mobility and overall qual- ity of life.
“At Daily Fitness, we work with
seniors to develop a customized program of strength training based on needs, goals and medical concerns,” Jane says. “Our clients are well on their way to defying statistics. We want them to be able to carry their groceries, lift their grandchildren and face the physical challenges of everyday living with confidence.” To schedule a free Personal Training Consultation, call Daily Fitness at 623-256-7901. Informa- tion gathered at the consultation will help in determining if personal training is appropriate for you.
Daily Fitness: Muscle loss due to aging
Daily Fitness will host special summer group equipment demonstrations at Bell and Sundial Fitness Centers. Exercise professionals will provide a half-hour tour of the facility demonstrating basic usage of the strength training machines.

Effective June 1, RCSC children’s swim hours are changing. Oakmont Recre- ation Center will no longer offer children’s swim hours, becoming RCSC’s third adults-only (18-plus) pool. The reason for this change is two-fold. First, Oakmont has more extensive Aqua Fitness classes than any other center, which, when cou- pled with three hours of children’s swim in the middle of the afternoon, leaves little available time for cardholders who wish to swim without children present. Second, Oakmont’s is the smallest swimming pool and deck area, which are not very conducive to lots of children.
In conjunction with this change, children’s hours at Mountain View and Mari- nette Centers will shift slightly with Mountain View’s kids’ swim hours starting an hour earlier at 10am and running until 1pm, and Marinette’s hours shifting forward an hour to start at 1pm and run until 4pm. Lakeview’s children’s swim hours will not change.

Bowling Notes Monitor Upgrades The installation of the 42-inch flat panel monitors at both bowling centers is complete. The displays will function the same as before but they are larger and the text and graphic s will be much sharper and brighter. Stop by and take a look.
Bowling Seasons The standard bowling season length in the bowling industry is 35 to 36 weeks. RCSC season lengths have customarily been 32 weeks. In recent years, RCSC leagues have begun to reduce their season length to 30 and 31 weeks. Reduced season length results in reduced revenue. Recently, a new pricing structure was introduced to all of the RCSC Bowling Leagues. Leagues that bowl 31 weeks or less will see a price increase of 25 cents per bowler per week for the entire season. Leagues that bowl 32 weeks will pay the posted rate. Leagues that bowl 33 weeks or more will pay the normal posted rate for the first 32 weeks; beginning week 33 the league will only be charged for two games instead of three. The same policy will apply to summer leagues using 12 weeks as a standard season. The pricing structure was designed to prevent price increases across the board and only increase prices for leagues that choose to bowl less than 32 weeks and reward leagues bowling 33 weeks or more. This structure was also designed to increase lineage in order to increase income rather than increase price to increase income.

Sylvia Kobetitch has been a fun and exciting member of the OL&SC since 1994. She has held every office and has been monitor on Thursday afternoons during the winter months for years and years. Unfortunately, you will have to wait to meet her until October when she returns from the summer in Can- ada. However, you can see her lovely silver earrings in the OL&SC jewelry showroom. It has taken her a long time to decide that earrings and bracelets are the jewelry she likes best and silvercraft is her favorite! Sylvia loves the club and has developed many lasting friendships with club members. She is one of those people that you meet and remember because you felt so encour-
aged and uplifted. Oakmont Lapidary & Silvercraft

Between these hits Marge Nelson and Kent Parry sang a selection of their big-band favorites and, for variety, the dancers also enjoyed the ever popular cha-cha, rhumba, and polka rhythms that are loved by all ballroom enthusiasts.
The band will start up the Fall Season on Tuesday, October 4 from 2:30-4:30pm at Sundial Auditorium. Casual attire is fine and you can bring your own refreshments and snacks.

Scheduled play time for Pickleball Club members during June takes place both outdoors and indoors. Courts at Marinette have outdoors play on evening hours, weather permitting. Mountain View play is indoors during afternoons in the auditorium where limited space permits only club members to participate.
During hot summer weather, the club’s free beginner lessons are post- poned until fall. Cooler outdoor evening hours are used for scheduled play.
Shown below are the days and times for club members playing at each location. During club play times, a club monitor must be present. Persons interested in the pickleball game can watch at either indoor or outdoor locations to see how the game is played.
Pickleball is a combination of tennis and ping pong, played on a badmin- ton-sized court with a low net, usually with four players, using paddles and a baseball-sized wiffle ball. Previous
racquetball or tennis sport experience is helpful, but not required. Teams can be coed, men, or women. Tennis shoes are required.
When free lessons resume in the fall for RCSC cardholders, the club provides practice paddles and wiffle balls for three half-hour beginner lessons. Persons with pickleball experience can join the club by filling out our dues sheet and paying the annual dues. A valid RCSC card is required. More information: suncitypickleballclub. org.

The Clay Club greeted a lot of guests at the April “Get Acquainted Day” April 2 at Lakeview Center. Quite a few of the members took part in the daylong event, whether selling raffle tickets or demonstrating one of the techniques taught at the club when you sign up for classes. The hostesses were very helpful when it came to buy- ing one of the many pieces that were made by club members and there was no standing in line at the check out table as it was well staffed by volunteering club members. The club even
offered clay ornaments for free to all the guests that toured the Club that day. There will be free workshops offered throughout the summer.
If you stay in Sun City for the summer, come check out the club if you didn’t get a chance to in April. The workshops are offered to all current RCSC cardholders that join the club, along with orientation sessions that will get you started so you can stay busy until the classes resume.
We are at Lakeview Center. If you have any questions, call 623-933-0899.

Just because our winter classes have ended, don’t think it’s not a good time to join the Palo Verde Art Club! As a member you’ll have many opportunities to paint, draw and explore your artistic talents throughout the summer months. Members are encouraged to use the Art Room daily. If you’re interested in drawing from life, for example, join us for Live Model Drawing from 1 to 3pm on Thursdays - it’s just $3 per session. Also as a member, summer is a perfect time to enrich your art knowledge with use of our extensive Honor Library filled with videos and books on every art topic.
Our Showcase (above the Sundial pool) will feature art by two very talented members in June: Marion Wish- nefski and Barbara Allen.
Marion, who retired from a career in education, paints in oil, pastel and
watercolor, specializing in animal and pet portraits (shown below). Barbara, also retired from a career in education, creates original floral, landscape, nature and other abstract works in acrylic and watercolor. Be sure to stop by and see their work.
Don’t let the summer heat stifle your creativity. You could be a Palo Verde artist too!
Palo Verde Artists Just because the temperature is ris-
ing, don’t think that’s a reason to quit stretching and improving your body, mind, and spirit! The Hatha Yoga Club schedule doesn’t change just because the snowbirds have flown home. Classes designed for seniors and led by certified instructors are held daily, Monday through Friday. See Activities Calendar for locations and times. For more information, see our brochure on the window of the Sundial Aerobics room above the pool. And if you’ve never tried yoga and always wanted to, summer is the perfect time. Classes are smaller and the instructors can give you more personal attention to help you learn.
To join us you’ll need to bring your RCSC card, a yoga mat, a small blanket or beach towel, $3 for the class and $5 to join the club. Be sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing and come on an empty stomach. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class to register. We hope you’ll join us soon!

A new carver joined the club recently, who had been a dairy and cattleman. It was logical that one of his very first carving projects was a handsome and sturdy bovine. Every carver has his own preferences and a lot of interesting and fascinating carvings result from these interests. Not sure what a computer guru or a mail carrier would choose to carve, but they would think of something.
The Carving Club has mostly beginners but it also has many experienced and accomplished Blue Ribbon Win- ners who are always available and very willing to answer questions and assist with your projects.
Classes are provided in all types of carving as well as goard decorating, wood burning, tools use and sharpen- ing, carving safety, etc. are also held
regularly. Annual dues for members are $5
per year. You can visit the club when it meets on Thursday and Saturday mornings at Lakeview Center, Social Hall #3 from 8am to noon.
Oh yes, we also have excellent coffee, good cookies, male and female members AND a VERY GOOD TIME.
Sun City Carvers: Where’s the beef?
June is such a happy time with tiny buds bursting out and baby birds chirping. Don’t let the approaching, dull days of summer bore you, come join us and have fun dancing, exercising and socializing. A reminder to all dancers – line dancing continues through June and July.
To reminisce a bit, the Easter party on March 12 was a great success with approximately 25 exotic “Easter hats” from a decorated lamp shade to a gorgeous bonnet. Don’t miss the excite- ment at the next party!
All RCSC cardholders are encouraged to join the Sun City Line Dance Club. Annual membership dues are $5. Dances are at Sundial Auditorium, except on the fourth Thursday, which is at Mountain View Center.

Airman’s Attic is a store on Luke Air Force Base that assists families of entry and lower rank airmen. The Air Force provides the building and electricity only. All the rest is done completely by volunteers on the base. Young mili- tary families shop at Airman’s Attic for needed items at no cost.
Airman’s Attic has been a service project of the Sew ‘N’ Sew Club since 1999. During last November’s delivery, the club was told the base has 94 pregnant women and they would need infant clothing.
So, items for babies have been the focus of this year’s sewing. Sew ‘N’ Sew shares the clubroom with the Cre- ative Quilters Club and they also participated in the Airman’s Attic project. Sewing machines were humming and members say March’s Sew-In was the most fun.
Members made 839 items including bibs, blankets, t-shirts, diaper bags and quilts.
With great pride, both clubs presented the items to Master Sgt. Mills of Luke Air Force Base who represented Airman’s Attic.
The clubs meet at Lakeview Cen- ter. Membership is open to RCSC cardholders. For information about Sew ‘N’ Sew call 623-974-2951, or visit www.sewnsew.info. Boutique sales and summer hours are Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 3:30pm. For Creative Quilters information call 623-815-3763. Summer hours are Monday and Friday 8am to 4pm.
Club representatives present a photo album of the March 2-Day Sew-In to Master Sgt. Mills of Luke AFB.
Sew-N-Sew & Creative Quilters One of the highlights of our April
meeting was the presentation of the Lillie Schwertzer, trophies by none other than Lillie herself. Top honors for lowest score in the women’s division went to Joy Trudeau. In the men’s division it went to George Becker. Con- gratulations to you both.
As the season for mini golf closes down for the summer we are already thinking ahead and planning the clubs activities that begin again in Septem- ber.

our club. We can always use new members.
All that is required is a current RCSC card and the yearly fee of $3 per person and a yen to play some mini golf courses. Or for more information please call Betty Peace at 857-2544 or Olivia Downs at 933-4375.
Have a safe and happy summer and we will see you in September.

Lawn bowling is for fun. There is socialization that goes along with club games where a good time is more important than the score. There is also the camaraderie of sharing a common interest with other interesting and fun people. Then, there is that occasional weak-in-the-knees satisfaction of playing the perfect shot. Of course there are also the parties. Be it a tournament banquet, a club potluck, or just informal refreshments after a game. It’s all fun. Many lawn bowlers come out for a game to enjoy the exercise, fresh air, camaraderie and socializing. However,
one must suspect that any game will be a bit more enjoyable if one isn’t looking at a string of zeros under their team’s score. That implies some individual practice. But, practice doesn’t have to be a sweat-soaked session of pain and agony, it can be fun, and more impor- tantly, it can be productive. Read the Bell LBC article for a tip or two how to make practice sessions more fun as well as productive. Summer, when fewer people use the greens, is a great time to practice, or learn the game as a new bowler. Call Grant Summers (623- 933-5066) for lessons.
Oakmont Lawn Bowl Club
Thoughts on the Art of Practice 1. Use practice sessions to train your
brain to bowl better. 2. Limit practice sessions to 30-60
minutes. 3. Start with a focused attitude.
(Training your mind, remember?) 4. Practice something specific. Just
randomly rolling your bowls at a jack from one end to the other and back again will probably yield some benefit in the long run, but it will be much more productive and fun to practice something specific (such as perfecting a smooth, steady, consistent delivery motion).
5. If you are bowling sloppily, being
lazy, or not into it, give it up for the day; all you will accomplish is telling your mind it’s OK to grass (deliver) lazy or sloppy bowls.
6. Consciously consider every ele- ment you are practicing as you do it. Evaluate your delivery immediately after releasing each bowl (what did you do that was different?). After you grass a bowl, watch and analyze its track until it stops. Try to predict where it will stop.
If you deliver a careless or sloppy bowl, run down, retrieve your bowl, run back and re-deliver it, telling your- self all the while, “That was an unac- ceptable delivery.”

Those of you who remain here in sunny Sun City during the hot summer, here’s a break in routine. Try our Canasta Club every Friday, 10am at Oakmont Recreation Center. We will have snacks, maybe ice cream, some- times refreshments and many surprise goodies. If you have forgotten the game or just need to refresh your memory, it can be done. We all will help you. Come and join the fun. For more info call 623-972-2609.

Modern square dancing was introduced in barn dances. Everyone learned a few movements and spent the evening dancing and had great times. Its growth began in the 1950s with the mainstream level. It continued to mature in the 1970s when different levels were introduced. Square Dance clubs were then separated by levels and placed in completive positions for dancers. Many mainstream level clubs lost large portions of their members to the plus level clubs while the new member-recruiting rate declined.
It might also be argued that if we do not keep the square dancers’ time occu- pied, they will feel left out and become bored and leave. Others argue that the decline is from external factors such as television and computers, which is valid but not the true culprit.
Modern square dancing is a wonderful activity, but it has a virus that is hurting it badly. If we bond with new dancers with a logical and eas- ily learned dance program, they will come and bring friends, and they will feel wanted and welcome, and stay a lifetime. Let’s hope we fix the program.
Dances are open to RCSC cardholders and guests. For information: 623- 875-2642 - 623-930-7513 - 623-341-3726 - [email protected].

Do you like playing cards and other games? If so, you will probably enjoy playing Mah Jongg. It is a fun and entertaining game using tiles, instead of cards. The purpose, somewhat like gin rummy, is to create a hand with a specific arrange- ment of suits and numbers. If you would like to learn to play, the Mah Jongg club offers free lessons several times a year. You are also welcome to stop in during club play time and watch. If you already know how to play, come join us. The club plays National League and Asian and meets at Sundial in the West Hall on Tuesdays, noon to 4pm, and Marinette Center Thursdays, 6 to 9pm, and Sundays, noon to 4pm. The Mah Jongg club is open to all RCSC cardholders. For more information, contact Tina at 623-208-1027 or Janis at 623-875-3969.

Snowbirds are gone. Temperatures are up. Lawn bowling greens are less crowded. Also, for the comfort of year-round lawn bowlers, club games will be played on a summer schedule. This generally means chips in 7:15 or 7:30am and 7 or 7:30pm. Game times can change to accommodate specific situations or conflicting schedules. Therefore it is advisable to check the individual club bulletin boards for any late-breaking changes to game start times. Example: the Mountain View green is temporarily closed for maintenance as of this writing.
There may be no evening bowling at
Mountain View and no summer bowling at all at Oakmont. The new Fairway bowling green should be completed sometime this summer, possibly bowling could start sometime in July on the new artificial surface.
This is a great time to become a lawn bowler. Highly qualified coaches are more available to show you the ropes, and you will have plenty of open time to practice and get in games. If you would like an orientation to lawn bowling or just want to discuss the possibilities, call Grant Summers at 623-933-5066. He is available almost all summer long.
Fairway/Mountain View Lawn Bowl Summer’s already flirting with us,
getting us in the mood for swimsuits or shorts weather. Are YOU ready? If not, come see us at Dance for Fitness. We have a unique low impact program to get you on the right track. We do “dan- cercise” routines to great music. These routines not only help your body, but also your mental and physical coordi- nation. There is NO floor work.
We meet three times weekly: Tues- days at Bell, Wednesdays at Sundial and Friday at Mountain View. Class times are all from 9 to 10am with some
instruction time following. Member- ship fee is ONLY $4 yearly, and NO individual class fees. You said it, the “best bargain in town.” You will need the proper shoes for exercising, comfortable clothes, and, of course, your RCSC card. You may visit a total of three times without joining and you can participate in the class. However, after your third visit, RCSC requires that you join. Remember, both men and women are welcome. For additional info, please call Peggy at 623- 974-6946.

Our group presented our founder, Milada Gregor, a certificate of thanks for everything she has done for Stretch & Slim exercise club. When she started the club, the exercises were done outside by the pool, all year long - hot or cold! Milada is a great leader for our exercise group. She inspires us all to keep exercising. One of her sayings is the definition of difficult and impossible. Difficult can be done; impossible takes a little longer. “THINK ABLE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE.”
See, exercise is good for you. Come and have fun with us. We are available
six days a week. Come join us while we move limbs and muscles around to make us more limber and have fun at the same time!

Clay Corner settles into summer
Novice Practice Exercise: Place mat 6.6 feet from ditch and mark position of forward edge with chalk. Place a small chalk aiming point on grass 10 to 15 feet in front of mat, about a foot to right of center line. Deliver all four bowls, concentrating on delivery form AND rolling the bowl directly over the aiming point. Give special attention to correcting any delivery form deficien- cies you are aware of. Watch each bowl until it stops; try to predict where it will stop. Take mat to opposite end of rink and place it on center line approximately even with your delivered bowls, and repeat the process, except
chalk your aiming point to left (back- hand) of the center line. The object is to deliver all bowls to the same stop- ping point. Do not use a jack. Where the bowls go is not important, but that they all go to the same place.
Additional exercise: Practice bowling (not rolling or throwing) three to four jacks all approximately the same distance over the rink. Coming back, practice bowling the jacks to a different distance. Objective: It is crucially important for a Lead to deliver a jack within five feet of where the Skip wants it.
