Coordination’s the Thing
Members of SaveSCC and other interested parties are supporting our canvassing efforts and community outreach. Our goal is to reach the entire community so that everyone is aware of ClubLink’s plan to develop our goals golf courses and our actions to stop it. That is not a simple task between snow birds, folks out of town, busy schedules, and the prohibition to not canvass in CA clubs or on CA property during activities or events as that would be considered violating the right of other CA members to enjoy those facilities and activities.
The best canvassing method we can strategically take is to go door-to-door thru every neighborhood, street by street. That was the consensus of our attendees at our working session on July 12, 2022.
So here is the plan to manage our activities to get it done as effectively and efficiently as possible:
Our canvassing chief Carol Hugill is coordinating canvassing efforts on a street-by-street basis via a spread sheet containing the details on all 220+ streets in SCC. To sign up for a street or part of a street by house number range for large streets like Del Webb or Pebble Beach, email her at SaveSCCcanvassing@gmail.com with the street you’d like to canvass including your name, email, and phone number. If that street is available, she’ll put it in your name for canvassing. We do not want to duplicate efforts or waste time and resources.
Please advise her when you are complete so we can track completions. The spreadsheet will be updated by Carol on our confidential Google WorkSpace and immediately published on the this website. That way we gauge our progress.
We are asking all SaveSCC members to solicit petition signers or distributing SaveSCC materials whenever you’re out and about. We have plenty printed materials. They are available either at all SaveSCC meetings or by contacting us via SaveSCCcanvassing@gmail.com. We just had 6000 pamphlets and 1500 petitions professionally printed by Vistaprint and they are beautifully done. Please use them.
Keep that clipboard with a stack of petitions and SaveSCC pamphlets with. Don’t leave home without them! Take them with you in the grocery, the barber shop, the hair dresser, the nail salon, the doctor’s office, a community event, etc. Don’t be afraid to talk with folks. Engage with your friends, your neighbors, your social circle, your club or teammates, or friends at the dog park or on a round of golf or over drinks, or even strangers. Email your buds! Don’t miss an opportunity.
Just make sure they have not signed this petition before. It has only been out since early June so hopefully they’ll remember. The only requirement to sign is you are over 18, reside at least part-time in Hillsborough County, and have not signed before.
Please do not make up additional sign-up sheets. Use the one provided as it only has 9 signature per page and if a sheet is disqualified, destroyed, or lost – the signatures not counted are minimal. The height of the pile will be more impressive when these are hand delivered at the hearing meeting!
Anyone can visit the Emergency Squad or Security Patrol to sign the petition or drop them off there for pick up. We also collect them at all SaveSCC meetings. The details about how to return them are on the bottom of the form. Folk can snail mail a sheet with even one signature back to me if they are out of town. Just help get the word out, in person or electronically.
Most folks we’ve approached are actually very interested and glad that you are sharing information. They support the SaveSCC effort to stop development of Sun City Center’s golf courses. The response has been very gratifying.
Remember our goal is for every SaveSCC member to get 30 signatures!
“If it is to be, it is up to “we”, and you are an integral part of “we.”
When we all do a little, the effect is a tidal wave!
Be part of the tsunami!
Thanks all!
