Volunteer Extraordinaire!
Ever wonder who prepares the salad, candy, soda, plates, napkins, utensils, popcorn and all of the yummy things that are included with the incredibly low price of $7.00 for Dinner and Movie nights? Well, it used to be one of your favorites, Suzannah, but since more and more residents are attending; it has become quite difficult and
time-consuming process. Charla and Roger Wake to the rescue! In the past three months, more than 260 residents have enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Every fourth Thursday of the month at 11:00am, Charla and Roger can be found in the kitchen working diligently to ensure an enjoyable evening for all.
But that’s not all folks! Remember how beautiful the Union Center looked during the "Holidays"? Guess who played a huge roll making sure every light, ornament and tinsel was placed just so? Remember January 2nd when all the beautiful décor was gone? Guess who (among many, many more) again? Charla and Roger!

New Opportunities for Resident Volunteers
New Opportunities for Resident Volunteers
Resident volunteers are the” heartbeat” and "life support” of activities at Sun City. Without our wonderful volunteers, it wouldn’t be possible to hold the many outstanding events we have.
We’re pleased to have a core group of volunteers for the upcoming 2011-2012 season but, although we’ve got some of our bases covered, we need to recruit quite a few more for the many exciting activities still on the drawing board.
The format for volunteering is new and improved. Instead of asking anyone to serve over a long period of time, we’ve created opportunities based on specific events. This should allow volunteers to focus on a single event, or more than one if so inclined and available.
Individuals who volunteer for a specific event will meet with Lifestyle staff to brainstorm ideas, suggest activities and décor to be featured and participate in the production of the event from start to finish.
Here are a few of the events that need more volunteers:
• Caribbean Night
• Chili Cook-Off
• Oktoberfest
• Halloween
• Valentine’s Day
• Thanksgiving
• New Year’s Eve
We have created some standing committees from which volunteers will be called for our less elaborate events not listed above, such as potlucks, movie nights, poolside activities and dances. These events don’t require as many volunteers or as much preparation, so if we have enough volunteers to draw from, volunteers won’t experience “Volunteer Burn Out!” These committees include:
• Post-Event Committee (returning the venue to its original condition)
• Kitchen Committee (assisting with event-related kitchen duties)
• Decorating Committee (setting the theme or mood of the event)
• Roy’s Boys (assisting our Maintenance staff with special projects)
We know how precious your time is but we hope you’ll volunteer some of your time to support the needs outlined above. If you want to help make any of these events successful or wish to participate on any of the standing committees, please email the Lifestyle staff at suncityvolunteers@gmail.com. With your help we can create an even more exciting schedule of events and activities for all Sun City residents!
Naming Contest for Resident Volunteer Group
In conjunction with recruiting resident volunteers, a contest is underway to find an exciting and enticing name for the volunteer group. Put on your thinking caps and create a name that speaks to the spirit of volunteerism and has a catchy acronym to go with it. The reward may be small but the recognition will be great…we promise!!
