In case you aren't a paid subscriber to The Sun City Independent (you should be) or you don't get a free, "thrown" copy in your driveway, this is the article that Bill P. is referring to in his blog posted in this edition - Misinformation? Disinformation? - Hmm, calling it so doesn't mean it's so.

After several months and just a bit of a rocky start, I think we can all agree that there have been a number of improvements as we reach the half-year point.
Dialogue between Recreation Centers of Sun City members and the board of directors continues to improve. The member/board exchange is still a work in process, but I am confident that your input matters and every item and suggestion will be acted upon as appropriate.
This type of work is incredibly time-consuming
Several changes have already been implemented based upon member suggestions and many processes have been started, which in the long run will help to resolve a number of issues.
However, this type of work is incredibly time-consuming, and we must all relax and continue to remember that nothing can be fixed overnight.
The RCSC Ad Hoc Bylaws Committee’s work in underway. While review is progressing along nicely, this group needs dedicated time to brainstorm and debate. There is little to report at this time, but they will continue to formulate recommendations over the summer for presentation to all for consideration and comment.
While transparency is what we’re striving for and we hear your concerns, it is next to impossible to include everyone in every discussion until ideas are formulated and options for solutions have been determined. Please know nothing is being done or decided without review and many hours of discussion. Your input will be requested when the time is right.
It would be nice if this would stop.
Too often misinformation, disinformation, half-truths and fake news muddy the waters, causing turmoil and distress for many. It would be really nice if this could stop. Things are changing, but it takes time. Those who proclaim doom and gloom, insisting there are hidden agendas and secret meetings, should consider the tremendous amount of work that is involved to make such changes.
Your patience and understanding will help the process. The bottom line is you won’t get the right answer if you don’t ask the right question. Taking very statement made by anyone is simply foolish and short-sighted. It’s complicated and we are doing our best to keep everyone informed — when the time is right and we have the answers.
Become a RCSC Director!
There is always room at the table. If you feel that you have the knowledge and skills required to become an RCSC board director, I encourage you to attend one of the informational sessions that will be conducted Monday, June 6 in the social hall at Lakeview Center, 10626 W. Thunderbird Blvd. There will be two sessions — 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. — with advanced registration required by calling the corporate office at 623-561-4600. Find out what it takes to truly be involved and work to help make a difference instead of just making demands and sometimes unrealistic expectations. Candidate packages can be picked up in person beginning Monday, June 6 and you must present your RCSC member card.
You’re welcome to really get involved, not just comment on your concerns and feelings.
Editor’s Note: Dale Lehrer is Recreation Centers of Sun City board president for 2022.

Yikes. Seems to me a lot of the "right questions" have been asked with very few of the right answers coming from their mouths. I know, change is slow, yada, yada, yada. The problem is they refuse to acknowledge there even is a problem or worse yet a question. "
If you think not, got back and watch the very first member/board exchange. The single hottest item was RCSC members from the golf community stand up and speak out. At the second meeting we heard the board got a comprehensive report form the director of golf. And then what? was a single item raised addressed? Was there any action taken?
Nope. Remember Director Atkin telling us they were going to get to the bottom of the issue with non-residents being able to access the member golf portal. What the flock did they do about it? Apparently, NOTHING>
Perhaps the board president can tell us what those "right" questions are?
