From Adversity to Opportunity

Facing the changes

Much has changed since we began. The RCSC Board has an almost entirely new composition of Directors, and for the first time, is starting to show signs of wanting to operate as a Board; one that listens to the Membership, one that is proactive in addressing the missteps of past Boards, and one that is planning for the future of the RCSC.

Egg Nog and Fruit Cake...

Yuk; is there a more awful-sounding combination? Perhaps Lutefisk and chocolate milk. Sorry, this week between Christmas and New Year's, is almost always a lost exercise in sanity; and my cravings for a touch of normalcy are inevitably thirsting to be quenched. Most love the holidays, I long for the flip of the calendar.

 

To be clear, even more so this year than most. We suffered through the pandemic in 2020, were hit with the tumult of the McAdam's firing in 2021 and the craziness of 2022 with the failed and flawed bylaw rewrite. The great news is, most of you reading this celebrated an RCSC election outcome that was stunning. Fast, Collins and Totten crushed the other candidates and created a sense of hope moving forward.

A Member's Mandate:

Almost anyone reading knows the history of the Sun City Advocates. We began in the fall of 2021 following the firing of Karen McAdam as an RCSC board member. There were 10 of us who started out and it should come as no surprise we had challenging arguments over the direction and what we should be doing as a group. Strongly opinionated people often find it difficult to agree on even the smallest of issues.

Finishing out the calendar year 2022

After a nice summer, we are ready to get busy. How about you?

It all starts on September 12th Member/Board Exchange and culminates with the December Election of Board Candidates. There's lots in between. None more important than the November 1, Membership Annual meeting. See our handy calendar page for upcoming events.

How Did We Get Here?

In a Thread started on 7.23.22 by Bill Pearson, he creates a Timeline for those interested in how we got to the situation that we are in regarding Golf in Sun City. (Residents and Non-Resident Play)

Yesterday on the Sun City Advocates Facebook page, we got a great question from Nia Maxwell asking simply; "how did we get here?" The "here" meaning a place where outside full play passes were being sold to non-residents who had access to our web portal and were playing golf for far less than what Sun City residents were paying less than many of us would should we want to golf. In addition, they were literally able to get tee times ahead of members.
