Notes from Ellie
Summer in Sun CIty
Hello All,
Hope this note finds you safe, healthy and happy. Summertime is here in Sun City Center and the living is HOT! Many folks are enjoying the pools, air conditioning and some barbequing. Hope you are doing well.
I would like to acknowledge and give thanks for the generosity and contributions of SaveSCC members and supporters. The work is sometimes like pushing boulders uphill. But I reflect on the progress we’ve made together and the wonderful rag-tag team we are. We are from all backgrounds, creeds, colors, persuasions, economic strata, educational and professional achievement levels. We share a love for our community and we do the best we can together to protect, maintain, nurture, and develop the golf courses for the future. Throughout this effort we have come together as strangers to become collaborators and friends in this great endeavor.
May we encourage a new wave of citizen involvement in our community in every way. People are contributing their wisdom, time, talent, money, expertise and goodwill to help advance the cause on every front. They write, call, contact others, pursue projects, do website work, post information, talk to friends and neighbors, and approach strangers. They perform many tasks from managing sign-ins, logistics, ordering supplies and printed goods, designing banners, yard-signs, scanning materials, writing and contacting our commissioners, to speaking and writing the CA Board. They also canvas our neighborhoods. It all matters and contributes to the common good. Thank you all for all you do. You are my inspiration.
We are the catalysts for a broad community coalition that is making a difference. Please continue with us on this journey to save SCC!
Our Save SCC ongoing outreach in support of our petition effort and membership drive continues. It can be slow going, with the heat and many folks out of town but we are making progress. Please keep up your efforts. Every little bit matters and makes a difference.
Every day brings more petitions locally and from folks far afield in the mail. Please keep them coming. Remember the goal is every SaveSCC member gathers 30 petition signatures!
While we do not expect to see ClubLink any time soon at a community meeting, it is still time to press on with our work so we are ready and prepared at a moment’s notice.
I did a reconnaissance drive via golf cart around parts of the North Lakes Course and Calossa Greens as some of you had suggested. Bonnie Hoelper last week was my guide. There appears to be more than sufficient areas for ingress and egress from both courses should Clublink proceed with development proposals. Neither was as landlocked as I had previously understood.
The next SaveSCC meeting is on Tuesday, July 12Th at 6 pm in the Rollins Theatre. This meeting is a working session.
