Fireworks watchers will be allowed anywhere outside the designated area (dashed line), which will be clearly designated. Watchers with chairs or blankets will be allowed inside a designated roped off area (designated on map with dotted lines). Organizers emphasize that this requirement is a safety “MUST ” and that violations can cause immediate shutdown of the display. Map drawing by John Bowker.
By Phyllis Hodges Sunday, July 3 The Sarasota Concert Band performance is at 2 p.m. at Community Hall. If you don’t already have your ticket, call Judy Schings 642-2001 regarding availability. See page 3. Monday, July 4 Anytime between 7 a.m. and noon, you can attend the open-to-the-public PATRIOTIC BREAKFAST in the Florida Room of the Atrium on the Central Campus. What a deal! Bring your friends for a patriotic menu that includes red (strawberry), white (plain) or blue (blueberry) pancakes, two eggs, sausage links, toast, orange juice and a bottomless cup of coffee for only $5. Memorabilia items will be sold at the breakfast and there will be a raffle for cash. Volunteers are still needed for clean-up—kitchen, serving stations and tables—from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Call Ann Marie Leblanc if you can help (633-1979 or 633-3500). Proceeds go to the 50th Anniversary fund. The Central Campus pools and the Atrium will be open all day on July 4. Food is allowed at the pools (no glass please), so if a picnic is part of your plan for the day, the pool area will be a fun place for it. At 9 p.m., don’t miss the FIREWORKS DISPLAY on the North Lakes course. This is a FIRST for Sun City Center. Fireworks watchers with chairs or blankets will be allowed inside a designated roped-off area (see map). To make this event more accessible to our residents, only SCC Community Association and Kings Point Association members and their guests will be allowed on the CA Central Campus or ClubLink property (bordered by N. Pebble Beach, LaJolla and Cherry Hills). Bring your membership card with you. To further “lighten up” the festivities, free glow necklaces will be available for the first 300 people who show up at the Atrium after 8 p.m. Residents in the area should keep their pets indoors during the loud 4th of July celebration. Rain date is July 5.
