Notes from Ellie
Hello All,
Our deepest sadness and prayers for recovery go out to all those devastated by Ian. It is so heart-breaking and overwhelming. With the uncertain path and the need for electricity, we evacuated to the mountains of Northern Georgia. What a beautiful area. I hope you were all safe and relatively unscathed.

Time for High Gear
It is time to gear up! Get re-involved and rev’d up for our fall push. It will be all about preparation and execution of our door-to-door campaign come late October and November and there is lots to do before then. I will be discussing that with you all at our working session next Tuesday, October 11th in the Rollins Theatre at 6 pm or via our Zoom Meeting (See link above).
For all of us associated with Save Sun City Center, it is time to move into high gear. There is so much important, time sensitive work and demands that will require your urgent help. The most important task for everyone lies ahead of us. Our door-to-door petition drive must show overwhelming support in the community to defeat any action to rezone the golf courses for development. Those signatures will allow us to demand the action of our Hillsborough County Commissioners and Community Association Board against any zoning or community plan amendment required for development to proceed.
We need your help and boots on the street. No exceptions. Everyone can contribute to the effort in some way.
Media Relations Step Up and Press Release Draft
We are stepping up our media communications efforts with a press release to promote our door-to-door canvassing petition drive.
Rick Johnson did a great job on the press release draft that we will further tweak before its official release to a variety of news outlets including the Observer and the News of Sun City Center. Lois Kindle and the editor of the Observer have been helpful and are hoping to print a shorter version in the Observer edition coming out October 27. We want everyone to know we are coming and stepping up our efforts to defeat any development plans ClubLink may have. Click HERE to view the press release draft
Canvassing Kick-Off Rally
The Kick-Off Rally for the canvassers is on October 29 at 11:30 in the Florida, Heritage and Armstrong Rooms on the central campus off the Atrium. All canvassers are asked to attend the kick off rally to receive instructions and materials.
All canvassers will be supplied with a street list by house, petition forms, pamphlets and a special SaveSCC tee shirt to be worn when canvassing or any other time they would like to support the cause. There will be media coverage and photo ops so we want to “dress for success” in our tees! Also be sure to always wear your SCC badge when canvassing.
More details will follow as the meeting approaches.
Street Assignments and Canvassers
Getting assigned canvassers for every street is a must!
The current list of street assignments is updated daily on our web site at https://savescc.org/street-coverage/
