Good afternoon Sun City Pickleball Club Members,
A quick note this day.

The Ad Hoc Future Planning Committee’s Proposal Plan for the renovations at Mountain View were a large part of the discussion at the RCSC Board meeting yesterday morning. The addition of more pickleball courts and a larger, shaded area for people who are waiting to play are included in those plans. As you can imagine, these plans were very well received and lots of positive comments and feedback came from the Board Members and from those who spoke from the audience. Thank you to the Ad Hoc Committee and RCSC Board.

We also had several Club Members address the RCSC Board in regards to permitting doubles play at our Sun City Pickleball Courts!
So many great points were brought out and substantiated by our Club Members – and with such eloquence! Thank you Frank Spina, Karen McAdam and Rich Peterson! We are all hoping the Board will reconsider and let doubles be played….fingers crossed! And thank you to all the Club Members who came and showed their support . . . bravo to you all!!

I was just reminded of the Commemorative Paver our Club purchased located at the Sun City Museum…have you seen it?! It was bought by our Club last year to help with the cost of the Museum renovations . . . there is a picture of it on our Club Website . . . that is, until you get over there and see it in person!

And, from what I understand, the Nominating Committee for next year’s Club Officers are still gathering names for those of you who want to help lead this wonderful Club of ours!!! Isn’t it about time you “stepped” forward (and not into the kitchen) – (this kitchen is acceptable)! Please be in touch with any on our committee – Carol Arinno, Diana Colonna, or Joe Gilfillan. Thank you for volunteering!

Enjoy this bit of weather – with no wind, these are great temps for June!

For now,
Dave B

We would like to amend the RCSC Rules & Regulations for Phased Re-opening Plan sent to Cardholders yesterday (May 18) with regards to Vulnerable Individuals as it relates to our community.

The statements below are only recommendations. All RCSC Cardholders will need to assess their own health and use facilities at their own risk. Each Cardholder will need to make their own decisions regarding their participation in the use of RCSC facilities.

We hope this clarification helps you to better understand this matter.

CARDHOLDERS SHOULD BE ADVISED OF CDC & EXECUTIVE ORDER RECOMMENDATIONS DURING PHASE ONE & PHASE TWO

• All vulnerable individuals are advised to take reasonable steps to continue limiting their time away from their place of residence or property. 
  • Vulnerable individuals are defined as individuals 65 and older and/or individuals with serious underlying health conditions, including high blood pressure, chronic lung disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune system is compromised such as by chemotherapy for cancer and other conditions requiring such therapy.
• Individuals who are symptomatic must stay home.
• Individuals who have a fever (100.4 F or higher) must stay home.
• Individuals must wash their hands thoroughly and frequently.

RCSC Announces Plans to Re-open Recreational Facilities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | May 18, 2020

Today the RCSC Board of Directors approved a re-opening plan for the Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc. which will begin on Tuesday, May 19, 2020 with summer hours* taking effect immediately. The Federal Government published guidelines for “Opening Up America Again” which provided a basic framework for a three-phased approach to re-opening. RCSC has used this framework to develop the plan for re-opening RCSC facilities, offices, events and entertainment. Governor Ducey announced on May 12, 2020 that Arizona was in Phase One and the Stay at Home Order would expire on May 15, 2020.

*Summer hours are Lakeview, Oakmont and Mountain View which will remain open until 8pm Monday-Saturday starting now through Labor Day weekend; all other center hours remain the same.

There is much excitement and anticipation as we start to bring use of the RCSC facilities and activities back into the community that so many enjoy and have missed during this period. The re-opening process will likely involve much tolerance, acceptance and respect from all participants. Your cooperation will help to ensure a smooth transition as we move forward.

Re-opening RCSC facilities will require strict adherence to safety and sanitation protocols during these phases developed by the RCSC Management Team and Board of Directors specific to the facilities and activities offered here in Sun City AZ to ensure the continued well-being of both Cardholders and RCSC employees.
Due to the physical distancing requirements, it is imperative that Cardholders realize that admittance to facilities will remain extremely restricted and that no congregating nor waiting for available space to become available will be allowed. Your understanding and cooperation as we deal with these limitations may alter how we proceed going forward through these phases.

Below are the requirements and restrictions which must be adhered to as we proceed through each Phase as we begin the process of re-opening RCSC facilities. Continue reading →
