We may only be heading into the sum- mer months, but it is never
too early to think about serving your community as a member of the
RCSC Board of Directors. Board members serve a vital role in the
RCSC organization, setting policy, approv- ing the annual budget
and prioritizing expenditures whether for replacement, refurbishing
or ordinary maintenance for RCSC’s facilities and equipment. These
are important issues that have an impact on the
entire Sun City community and, thus, require the expertise,
experience and knowledge that is prevalent through-
out Sun City. If you meet the qualifica- tions, I wholeheartedly
encourage you to consider running for a term on the Board of
Directors this fall, as the more competi- tive the race is, the
higher voter interest and turnout we end up having.
Qualifications are as follows: a. must be at least fifty-five (55)
years of
age; b. must be a Deeded Real Estate Owner of

In response to the continued requests by cardholders for more
communica- tion, the RCSC Board of Directors has decided to make
some changes to the monthly SunViews. The Board will des- ignate
RCSC’s newsletter, the SunViews, as the key component for
communicating important information about RCSC from the Board,
including news about Board decisions, committee discussions and
rec- ommendations, corporate financials and trends, and upcoming
events and activi- ties.
As part of this change, the number of chartered club articles
published in Sun- Views will be reduced effective July 1. Club
articles will be published on a rota-
tion basis during the months of October through March, with no club
articles being published during the other six months of the year,
April through Sep- tember.
In addition, special events that are occa- sionally promoted by
chartered clubs will be published in a new Events sec- tion. The
Board understands some clubs may be disappointed with the decision
to restrict club articles, however, the Board feels that it is
vitally important that they make SunViews their primary commu-
nication tool for providing RCSC and Board information. Although a
club may not have an article in the SunViews, they will still have
their meeting times, loca-

The Board of Directors has formed a new Government Affairs Commit-
tee, which will monitor the legislation
and actions of the Arizona State House of Representatives, the
Arizona State Senate, the Arizona Corporation Com- mission, the
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and any and all other
governmental agencies. The commit- tee will inform the Board and
Man- agement of any recommendations for actions to be taken as a
result.
Members are needed to serve on this new and vital committee. If you
are interested in serving, please submit a letter outlining your
background and why you wish to serve on the com- mittee to the
Board Office via email at

tion and activity hours published on the activities pages. As their
fiduciary duty prescribes, the RCSC Board decided not to
increase
expenses by expanding the SunViews to accommodate both the need for
more communication from RCSC and as many club articles. Reducing
the club articles was the only logical solution to responding to
the constant call for improved communication without adding any
cost to RCSC as many cardholders do not have access to email or
RCSC’s website.
The Board knows that change is not easy however they believe that
taking this new focus with SunViews will provide an improved
benefit to all cardholders who want to know the latest news and
information about RCSC.

Sam Russo, 88, is using the machines at Bell Fitness Center to
improve muscle mass and strength. One of his goals is to get back
on the dance floor. “Building muscle is a must for any- one over 50
years of age,” states Jane Fortier, personal trainer for Daily Fit-
ness. “Women in their 40s and men in their 60s lose muscle strength
at a rate of 12% per decade. With only three months of proper
resistance training, a senior can increase their strength by 40%,
and overcome up to three decades of muscle deterioration.”
Muscle loss, due to aging, is known as Sarcopenia (pronounced
sar-co- PEEN-yuh). Research shows that 80% to 90% of adults suffer
from Sarcope- nia, if they don’t incorporate strength training and
physical exercise into their daily regimen. Strength training
increases self-confidence, improves sleep and helps with
depression. Improving muscle strength is essential for balance,
mobility and overall qual- ity of life.
“At Daily Fitness, we work with
seniors to develop a customized pro- gram of strength training
based on needs, goals and medical concerns,” Jane says. “Our
clients are well on their way to defying statistics. We want them
to be able to carry their groceries, lift their grandchildren and
face the physical challenges of everyday living with confidence.”
To schedule a free Personal Training Consultation, call Daily
Fitness at 623-256-7901. Informa- tion gathered at the consultation
will help in determining if personal train- ing is appropriate for
you.
Daily Fitness: Muscle loss due to aging
Daily Fitness will host special summer group equipment
demonstrations at Bell and Sundial Fitness Centers. Exercise

Effective June 1, RCSC children’s swim hours are changing. Oakmont
Recre- ation Center will no longer offer children’s swim hours,
becoming RCSC’s third adults-only (18-plus) pool. The reason for
this change is two-fold. First, Oakmont has more extensive Aqua
Fitness classes than any other center, which, when cou- pled with
three hours of children’s swim in the middle of the afternoon,
leaves little available time for cardholders who wish to swim
without children present. Second, Oakmont’s is the smallest
swimming pool and deck area, which are not very conducive to lots
of children.
In conjunction with this change, children’s hours at Mountain View
and Mari- nette Centers will shift slightly with Mountain View’s
kids’ swim hours starting an hour earlier at 10am and running until
1pm, and Marinette’s hours shifting forward an hour to start at 1pm
and run until 4pm. Lakeview’s children’s swim hours will not
change.

Bowling Notes Monitor Upgrades The installation of the 42-inch flat
panel monitors at both bowling centers is complete. The displays
will function the same as before but they are larger and the text
and graphic s will be much sharper and brighter. Stop by and take a
look.
Bowling Seasons The standard bowling season length in the bowling
industry is 35 to 36 weeks. RCSC season lengths have customarily
been 32 weeks. In recent years, RCSC leagues have begun to reduce
their season length to 30 and 31 weeks. Reduced season length
results in reduced revenue. Recently, a new pric- ing structure was
introduced to all of the RCSC Bowling Leagues. Leagues that bowl 31
weeks or less will see a price increase of 25 cents per bowler per
week for the entire season. Leagues that bowl 32 weeks will pay the
posted rate. Leagues that bowl 33 weeks or more will pay the normal
posted rate for the first 32 weeks; beginning week 33 the league
will only be charged for two games instead of three. The same
policy will apply to summer leagues using 12 weeks as a standard
season. The pricing structure was designed to prevent price
increases across the board and only increase prices for leagues
that choose to bowl less than 32 weeks and reward leagues bowling
33 weeks or more. This structure was also designed to increase
lineage in order to increase income rather than increase price to
increase income.

friendships with club members. She is one of those people that you

loca- tion. During club play times, a club monitor must be present.
Persons interested in the pickleball game can watch at either
indoor or outdoor loca- tions to see how the game is played.
Pickleball is a combination of tennis and ping pong, played on a
badmin- ton-sized court with a low net, usually with four players,
using paddles and a baseball-sized wiffle ball. Previous
racquetball or tennis sport experience is helpful, but not
required. Teams can be coed, men, or women. Tennis shoes are
required.
When free lessons resume in the fall for RCSC cardholders, the club
pro- vides practice paddles and wiffle balls for three half-hour
beginner lessons. Persons with pickleball experience can join the
club by filling out our dues sheet and paying the annual dues. A
valid RCSC card is required. More information:

The Clay Club greeted a lot of guests at the April “Get Acquainted
Day” April 2 at Lakeview Center. Quite a few of the members took
part in the daylong event, whether selling raffle tickets or
demonstrating one of the techniques taught at the club when you
sign up for classes. The hostesses were very helpful when it came
to buy- ing one of the many pieces that were made by club members
and there was no standing in line at the check out table as it was
well staffed by volun- teering club members. The club even
offered clay ornaments for free to all the guests that toured the
Club that day. There will be free workshops offered throughout the
summer.
If you stay in Sun City for the sum- mer, come check out the club
if you didn’t get a chance to in April. The workshops are offered
to all current RCSC cardholders that join the club, along with
orientation sessions that will get you started so you can stay busy
until the classes resume.
We are at Lakeview Center. If you have any questions, call
623-933-0899.

Just because our winter classes have ended, don’t think it’s not a
good time to join the Palo Verde Art Club! As a member you’ll have
many opportuni- ties to paint, draw and explore your artistic
talents throughout the summer months. Members are encouraged to use
the Art Room daily. If you’re inter- ested in drawing from life,
for exam- ple, join us for Live Model Drawing from 1 to 3pm on
Thursdays - it’s just $3 per session. Also as a member, sum- mer is
a perfect time to enrich your art knowledge with use of our
extensive Honor Library filled with videos and books on every art

tal- ented members in June: Marion Wish- nefski and Barbara
Allen.
Marion, who retired from a career in education, paints in oil,
pastel and
watercolor, specializing in animal and pet portraits (shown below).
Barbara, also retired from a career in educa- tion, creates
original floral, landscape, nature and other abstract works in
acrylic and watercolor. Be sure to stop by and see their
work.
Don’t let the summer heat stifle your creativity. You could be a
Palo Verde artist too!
Palo Verde Artists Just because the temperature is ris-
ing, don’t think that’s a reason to quit stretching and improving
your body, mind, and spirit! The Hatha Yoga Club schedule doesn’t
change just because the snowbirds have flown home. Classes designed
for seniors and led by certified instructors are held daily, Monday
through Friday. See Activities Calendar for locations and times.
For more information, see our brochure on the window of the Sundial
Aerobics room above the pool. And if you’ve never tried yoga and
always wanted to, summer is the perfect time. Classes are smaller
and the instructors can give you more personal attention to help
you learn.
To join us you’ll need to bring your RCSC card, a yoga mat, a small
blanket or beach towel, $3 for the class and $5 to join the club.
Be sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing and come on an empty
stomach. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class to
register. We hope you’ll join us soon!

A new carver joined the club recently, who had been a dairy and
cattleman. It was logical that one of his very first carving
projects was a handsome and sturdy bovine. Every carver has his own
preferences and a lot of interest- ing and fascinating carvings
result from these interests. Not sure what a computer guru or a
mail carrier would choose to carve, but they would think of
something.
The Carving Club has mostly begin- ners but it also has many
experienced and accomplished Blue Ribbon Win- ners who are always
available and very willing to answer questions and assist with your
projects.
Classes are provided in all types of carving as well as goard
decorating, wood burning, tools use and sharpen- ing, carving
safety, etc. are also held
regularly. Annual dues for members are $5
per year. You can visit the club when it meets on Thursday and
Saturday mornings at Lakeview Center, Social Hall #3 from 8am to
noon.
Oh yes, we also have excellent coffee, good cookies, male and
female mem- bers AND a VERY GOOD TIME.
Sun City Carvers: Where’s the beef?
June is such a happy time with tiny buds bursting out and baby
birds chirping. Don’t let the approaching, dull days of summer bore
you, come join us and have fun dancing, exer- cising and
socializing. A reminder to all dancers – line dancing continues
through June and July.
To reminisce a bit, the Easter party on March 12 was a great
success with approximately 25 exotic “Easter hats” from a decorated
lamp shade to a gor- geous bonnet. Don’t miss the excite- ment at
the next party!
All RCSC cardholders are encour- aged to join the Sun City Line

Airman’s Attic is a store on Luke Air Force Base that assists
families of entry and lower rank airmen. The Air Force provides the
building and electricity only. All the rest is done completely by
volunteers on the base. Young mili- tary families shop at Airman’s
Attic for needed items at no cost.
Airman’s Attic has been a service project of the Sew ‘N’ Sew Club
since 1999. During last November’s deliv- ery, the club was told
the base has 94 pregnant women and they would need infant
clothing.
So, items for babies have been the focus of this year’s sewing. Sew
‘N’ Sew shares the clubroom with the Cre- ative Quilters Club and
they also par- ticipated in the Airman’s Attic project. Sewing
machines were humming and members say March’s Sew-In was the most
fun.
Members made 839 items including bibs, blankets, t-shirts, diaper
bags and quilts.
With great pride, both clubs pre- sented the items to Master Sgt.
Mills of Luke Air Force Base who represented Airman’s Attic.
The clubs meet at Lakeview Cen- ter. Membership is open to RCSC
cardholders. For information about Sew ‘N’ Sew call 623-974-2951,
or visit www.sewnsew.info. Boutique sales and summer hours are
Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 3:30pm. For Creative Quilters
information call 623-815-3763. Summer hours are Monday and Friday
8am to 4pm.
Club representatives present a photo album of the March 2-Day
Sew-In to Master Sgt. Mills of Luke AFB.
Sew-N-Sew & Creative Quilters One of the highlights of our

went to George Becker. Con- gratulations to you both.
As the season for mini golf closes down for the summer we are
already thinking ahead and planning the clubs activities that begin

unnoticed, but we want you to know you are very much appreciated
and we thank you. What a great bunch of members we have in
our club. We can always use new members.
All that is required is a current RCSC card and the yearly fee of
$3 per per- son and a yen to play some mini golf courses. Or for
more information please call Betty Peace at 857-2544 or Olivia

Lawn bowling is for fun. There is socialization that goes along
with club games where a good time is more important than the score.
There is also the camaraderie of sharing a common interest with
other interesting and fun people. Then, there is that occasional
weak-in-the-knees satisfaction of play- ing the perfect shot. Of
course there are also the parties. Be it a tournament banquet, a
club potluck, or just infor- mal refreshments after a game. It’s
all fun. Many lawn bowlers come out for a game to enjoy the
exercise, fresh air, camaraderie and socializing. However,
one must suspect that any game will be a bit more enjoyable if one
isn’t looking at a string of zeros under their team’s score. That
implies some individual practice. But, practice doesn’t have to be
a sweat-soaked session of pain and agony, it can be fun, and more
impor- tantly, it can be productive. Read the Bell LBC article for
a tip or two how to make practice sessions more fun as well as
productive. Summer, when fewer people use the greens, is a great
time to practice, or learn the game as a new bowler. Call Grant
Summers (623- 933-5066) for lessons.
Oakmont Lawn Bowl Club
Thoughts on the Art of Practice 1. Use practice sessions to train
your
brain to bowl better. 2. Limit practice sessions to 30-60
minutes. 3. Start with a focused attitude.
(Training your mind, remember?) 4. Practice something specific.
Just
randomly rolling your bowls at a jack from one end to the other and
back again will probably yield some ben- efit in the long run, but
it will be much more productive and fun to practice something
specific (such as perfecting a smooth, steady, consistent delivery
motion).
5. If you are bowling sloppily, being
lazy, or not into it, give it up for the day; all you will
accomplish is telling your mind it’s OK to grass (deliver) lazy or
sloppy bowls.
6. Consciously consider every ele- ment you are practicing as you
do it. Evaluate your delivery immediately after releasing each bowl
(what did you do that was different?). After you grass a bowl,
watch and analyze its track until it stops. Try to predict where it
will stop.
If you deliver a careless or sloppy bowl, run down, retrieve your
bowl, run back and re-deliver it, telling your- self all the while,
“That was an unac- ceptable delivery.”

Those of you who remain here in sunny Sun City during the hot sum-
mer, here’s a break in routine. Try our Canasta Club every Friday,

have forgotten the game or just need to refresh your memory, it can
be done. We all will help you. Come and join the fun. For more info

Modern square dancing was intro- duced in barn dances. Everyone
learned a few movements and spent the evening dancing and had great
times. Its growth began in the 1950s with the mainstream level. It
continued to mature in the 1970s when different levels were
introduced. Square Dance clubs were then separated by levels and
placed in completive positions for dancers. Many mainstream level
clubs lost large portions of their members to the plus level clubs
while the new member-recruiting rate declined.
It might also be argued that if we do not keep the square dancers’
time occu- pied, they will feel left out and become bored and
leave. Others argue that the decline is from external factors such
as television and computers, which is valid but not the true
culprit.
Modern square dancing is a won- derful activity, but it has a virus
that is hurting it badly. If we bond with new dancers with a
logical and eas- ily learned dance program, they will come and
bring friends, and they will feel wanted and welcome, and stay a
lifetime. Let’s hope we fix the program.
Dances are open to RCSC cardhold- ers and guests. For information:

Do you like playing cards and other games? If so, you will probably
enjoy play- ing Mah Jongg. It is a fun and entertaining game using
tiles, instead of cards. The purpose, somewhat like gin rummy, is
to create a hand with a specific arrange- ment of suits and
numbers. If you would like to learn to play, the Mah Jongg club
offers free lessons several times a year. You are also welcome to
stop in during club play time and watch. If you already know how to
play, come join us. The club plays National League and Asian and

Snowbirds are gone. Temperatures are up. Lawn bowling greens are
less crowded. Also, for the comfort of year-round lawn bowlers,
club games will be played on a summer schedule. This generally
means chips in 7:15 or 7:30am and 7 or 7:30pm. Game times can
change to accommodate specific situations or conflicting schedules.
Therefore it is advisable to check the individual club bulletin
boards for any late-breaking changes to game start times. Example:
the Mountain View green is temporarily closed for mainte- nance as
of this writing.
There may be no evening bowling at
Mountain View and no summer bowl- ing at all at Oakmont. The new
Fairway bowling green should be completed sometime this summer,
possibly bowl- ing could start sometime in July on the new
artificial surface.
This is a great time to become a lawn bowler. Highly qualified
coaches are more available to show you the ropes, and you will have
plenty of open time to practice and get in games. If you would like
an orientation to lawn bowling or just want to discuss the
possibilities, call Grant Summers at 623-933-5066. He is available
almost all summer long.
Fairway/Mountain View Lawn Bowl Summer’s already flirting with
us,
getting us in the mood for swimsuits or shorts weather. Are YOU
ready? If not, come see us at Dance for Fitness. We have a unique
low impact program to get you on the right track. We do “dan-
cercise” routines to great music. These routines not only help your
body, but also your mental and physical coordi- nation. There is NO
floor work.
We meet three times weekly: Tues- days at Bell, Wednesdays at
Sundial and Friday at Mountain View. Class times are all from 9 to
10am with some
instruction time following. Member- ship fee is ONLY $4 yearly, and
NO individual class fees. You said it, the “best bargain in town.”
You will need the proper shoes for exercising, com- fortable
clothes, and, of course, your RCSC card. You may visit a total of
three times without joining and you can participate in the class.
However, after your third visit, RCSC requires that you join.
Remember, both men and women are welcome. For addi- tional info,
please call Peggy at 623- 974-6946.

Our group presented our founder, Milada Gregor, a certificate of
thanks for everything she has done for Stretch & Slim exercise
club. When she started the club, the exercises were done out- side
by the pool, all year long - hot or cold! Milada is a great leader
for our exercise group. She inspires us all to keep exercising. One
of her sayings is the definition of difficult and impos- sible.
Difficult can be done; impossible takes a little longer. “THINK
ABLE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE.”
See, exercise is good for you. Come and have fun with us. We are
available
six days a week. Come join us while we move limbs and muscles
around to make us more limber and have fun at the same time!
The moves will relax you and give you more energy. We gather Monday
through Friday from 8 to 9am and on Saturdays from 9 to 10am at
Sundial Center aerobics room. Try us out for free three times. The
cost to join is $5 a year. We welcome exercisers at all lev- els,
but get your doctor’s OK. For more information, call Jo-An at

from the wheel to hand forming with many helpful hints. Be sure to
mark your calendar for those third Mondays. We will all share the
cost of a pizza order and bring your
own drink. Clay Corner will also continue with
our beginner’s classes for any new memberships that sign up.
Remember to stop by our gift display area with handmade sales items
from our club members.
Wheel classes begin this fall. Hours: Monday through Wednesday 8am
to 9pm, and Thursday through Saturday 8am to 4pm. Info, call:

Clay Corner settles into summer
Novice Practice Exercise: Place mat 6.6 feet from ditch and mark
position of forward edge with chalk. Place a small chalk aiming
point on grass 10 to 15 feet in front of mat, about a foot to right
of center line. Deliver all four bowls, concentrating on delivery
form AND rolling the bowl directly over the aiming point. Give
special attention to correcting any delivery form deficien- cies
you are aware of. Watch each bowl until it stops; try to predict
where it will stop. Take mat to opposite end of rink and place it
on center line approx- imately even with your delivered bowls, and
repeat the process, except
chalk your aiming point to left (back- hand) of the center line.
The object is to deliver all bowls to the same stop- ping point. Do
not use a jack. Where the bowls go is not important, but that they
all go to the same place.
Additional exercise: Practice bowl- ing (not rolling or throwing)
three to four jacks all approximately the same distance over the
rink. Coming back, practice bowling the jacks to a differ- ent
distance. Objective: It is crucially important for a Lead to
deliver a jack within five feet of where the Skip wants it.
