Sundance RC Drivers

Welcome back racers!  Last year we had several new members join our club and I must say it was certainly exciting watching some of these rookies catch-up and on occasion pass some of the more experienced racers.  It will be interesting to see who dominates this year!

With the interest growing we are likely going to need to expand the drivers stand to accommodate all the drivers.  This will be high on the list of priorities for this coming season.…..

There were many people stopping by the track last year and expressed interest in getting involved.  Anyone interested in watching or getting involved are welcome to visit us at the track Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at 1:30 to 4 pm.  Don’t be hesitant to ask questions.  One of the club members will be glad to answer questions and maybe even let you take a car for test drive…… It is lots of fun and it is NOT as easy as it looks!

TO ALL SPECTATORS.  The members really appreciate your support and watching us race each week.  However, for your own safety, please do not sit or stand too close to the track, and do not get distracted.  The cars are very fast and when an accident happens cars can clear or in some cases penetrate the safety barrier and we don’t want anyone getting struck by a car.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in November!

Library…

Welcome

Our library is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for your reading enjoyment. We are a lending library not an exchange Library. We will take donated books in good condition. We are no longer receiving any CDs, DVDs, or videos, as we no longer have the room for them.

Please take all magazines to the laundry room. Any donated book ends would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy your reading experience this season.

Angel Tree…

Lynn Wiewior, is the new chairperson for our annual Angel Tree program.   With new and exciting ideas, Lynn is a great advocate for our low income and needy Casa Grande children. Per the Seeds of Hope, many of our area children need to share household items such as toothbrushes.

The tree in the Activities Office will be on display on or before Thanksgiving for you to select a child’s name to brighten their Christmas holiday. You can select a child individually, or as a club or group banding together and coordinating their purchases.   We are hoping that with a park of this size and our ongoing generosity, we’ll be able to exceed our previous 30-35 names.

In the Christmas spirit, we thank you in advance.

VIP cards….

The Vets group have the 2016-17 cards and are available for the donation of $15. There are almost twice as many pages this year.  You can get the VIP cards at the Activity office or from Chris Knapton.

We will also have a booth at the Country Store this year and will have available VIP cards, caps and shirts. The first country store will be the 4^th of November and we will need volunteers to man the booth.

I would ask that all Veterans attend our first meeting as well as the rest.  We need ideas and your help, so we can have a good year to help fellow Veterans in need.
