A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Tribute to Our SAVE Sun City Volunteers, Donors, and Supporters
As the Thanksgiving season dawns, bringing with it a time for reflection and gratitude, I and the other leaders and key players in Save Sun City Center extend our deepest and most sincere thanks to the heart and soul of our organization: our incredible team of volunteers.
You are the lifeblood of our mission—a steadfast, all-volunteer force dedicated to protecting the vital green, recreating spaces of our community from development by ClubLink. The success we share is not the result of a few, but a powerful, collective achievement made possible by the unique and invaluable contribution of every single person who has answered the call.
- To those who have participated in Work Groups and tackled individual projects: Your countless hours – spent organizing, researching complex zoning issues and laws, stormwater management, golf operations, ClubLink, other courses fighting similar development, managing our technology, and executing critical tasks, have provided the meticulous foundation upon which our legal and advocacy efforts stand.
- To those who have been our voice in the community and beyond: Your presence at countless meetings, town halls, community gatherings, Hi Neighbor, Fun Fest and Zoom meetings, and your persistent networking with concerned citizens, have ensured that our cause is heard loud and clear in every relevant forum.
- To our supporters like Sun Radio and other organizations within the community: You know who you are and while some of you prefer to remain anonymous, your collaboration with us has been of enormous help is allowing us to inform our residents, collect signatures, and remain heard, visible and accessible.
- To our generous donors: Your financial contributions, large and small, fuel the engine of our advocacy, covering essential costs and allowing us to remain agile in a challenging fight.
- And to our “Boots on the Street”: You are the visible, tireless champions who walk the neighborhoods, gather the support, and demonstrate the sheer power of community solidarity.
We understand that you have given the most precious resource of all: your time, your passion, your resources, and your belief in a shared future.
Our achievements—the milestones reached, the legislative success, the awareness raised, and the vital ground securing political support in this ongoing effort—are wholly and truly a shared success. Each step forward is a testament to your dedication and collaborative spirit.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks from me and the entire leadership team. We are deeply grateful for your service, your commitment, and the extraordinary efforts you make every day to preserve our cherished golf courses. We would not be the same beautiful community without those 1,137 acres of undeveloped land.
Happy Thanksgiving.
