🚨 URGENT UPDATE: SHOW UP & SPEAK OUT! 🚨
TV Interview with ABC Action News (WFTS Channel 28)
SavesSCC Members and Supporters,
We have a massive opportunity to bring our fight against golf course development to the evening news! Reporter Keely McCormick is coming to Sun City Center this Monday to cover our cause. She has specifically requested a large group of residents to demonstrate the scale of our opposition.
Let’s show the media—and the developers—that we love our community and are united to protect our lifestyle and amenities for recreation, not development! That was never the community plan and it is not now! The Greater Sun City Center Community Plan adopted as part of the Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan on November 18, 2010 says exactly that.
Get your SaveSCC donation merchandise at the event at 1006 La Jolla between 8:00 am and 8:30!
We expect our Sun City Center story to be broadcast Monday or Tuesday evening on ABC Channel 28, May 4thor 5th.
📍 UPDATED LOGISTICS and Parking
It is extremely important you ride with friends preferably on bikes, golf carts or small vehicles. There will be very limited parking available. NO PARKING in Security Patrol Lot as that is for on duty personnel only. I believe you can park in the CA lot to the North on Pebble Beach and walk over to the event. I wish I had a better answer but I don’t.
Plan is to have a “sea of people” on sidewalks on both sides of La Jolla. We need to be flexible and work it out. Hillsborough County Sheriff Office – Deputy Merry and his team and SCC Security Patrol are aware. We expect the whole event to conclude by 9:00 am. The filming will be brief. The TV crew is on a tight schedule.
📍 SaveSCC Donation Merchandise Available at Event
Get your gear on-site! If you need a green SaveSCC T-shirt, yard sign, or slicker, we will have a donation station with merchandise set up to the right just past the meeting point on private property at 1006 La Jolla, the second house on the right down from the pond.
This is the perfect time to gear up for Monday and all our future actions and events.
• SaveSCC Tee shirts and signs will be available for a $20.00 Donation: 8:00 AM – 8:30 AM
• Location: 1006 La Jolla Ave (2nd house down from the pond on the right behind the Security Patrol East on La Jolla Ave) Big shout out and thank you to the owners for allowing us to use their property!
• Wear: Your Green SaveSCC Tees! Let’s create a “Sea of Green.”
• Bring: Neighbors, friends, club members, and your handmade signs.
📅 WHEN & WHERE
• Date: Monday, May 4th
• Arrival Time: 8:15 AM (Sharp!)
• Filming Starts: 8:30 AM
• Strict Location Note: Please stay on the sidewalks and out of the street and public right away. We do not have permission to be on ClubLink, CA, Security Patrol land. I have been working with all three to avoid any issues. Thanks for your cooperation.
• Look for the “Sea of Green” on La Jolla Ave!
📢 A NOTE ON OUR LOCATION
We originally hoped to film in front of the historical marker at the North Campus to provide perspective on our community’s heritage. However, the Community Association (CA) denied our request to film on CA property, stating they wish to “remain neutral” on the advice of their attorneys.
This is exactly why your presence on Monday is so vital. If the CA won’t provide the backdrop, WE will provide the message with our presence and numbers. Our unity is more powerful than any historical marker.
