It is anticipated the project will begin in September, pending Board expenditure expenses. This is a major endeavor and one I am sure you will enjoy for years to come.

We will be removing much of the nonfunctional grass, which will help with Las Vegas water issues.

In addition, we are anticipating the water feature to be once again operational as soon as a pump, which has been ordered, arrives, and is installed. The Board will have addressed several issues that you have brought to our attention, namely a hand railing at the Community Center main entrance, new pickleball court gates and new pool lane markers, and finally ratification of the 2022-2023 budget.

This is only a portion of the issues the Board will consider throughout the year, and I hope you will join us at the open board meetings each month to hear why we approve or disapprove motions that come before us.

Thank you to all the Board members who were assigned as Board Liaisons to our Sun City Aliante Committees during our June 8 Board Meeting. They are Mark Towers, Architectural Review Committee; Debbie Matthews, Property & Grounds Committee; Sonja Bankston-Cullen, Lifestyle Committee; Mark Smith, Covenants Committee; Ed Ernest, Communications Committee; Nancy Prince, Finance Committee; and I will server as Board Liaison to the Patrol Committee.

As always, I pray you will be safe and shower your friends and family with love.

Respectfully submitted, Warren M. Geller President Sun City Aliante Board of Directors

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

I am so very pleased that I was re-elected by the Sun City Aliante Board of Directors to be the Treasurer for our Association for another year. The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the finances and ensuring the financial stability of the Association.

But what does this mean to you, the homeowner?

In the very simplest of terms, your Board, and especially your Board President and Board Treasurer, are responsible for oversight and management of the association income, expenses and investments. This is accomplished with the assistance of our General Manager, FirstService Residential accounting, and the Finance Advisory Committee (FAC). Our 3 basic priorities are: 1. Protection 2. Liquidity 3. Return PROTECTION Ensuring that Association funds are protected is the foundation of our investing. Nothing is more important than protecting our money.

Generally, this means ensuring our investments are FDIC-insured (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). FDIC is an independent agency of the United States government that protects bank depositors against the loss of their insured deposits in the event that an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails.

LIQUIDITY Association funds must be readily available to pay for ongoing expenses and projects and must be quickly accessed to meet emergency needs. This is accomplished by investing money in Money Market funds and Certificates of Deposit (Cds). Both of these offer potential returns on investments and can be accessed quickly and easily.

RETURN Of course, getting the highest rate of interest or return on investments is important, but not THE most important consideration. No matter how good the return on an investment may look, if the funds are not protected or if they cannot be withdrawn quickly for use, a higher rate of return is meaningless.

Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) clearly outline how funds can be invested. The law does NOT state that investments must get the highest return.

The members of the Sun City Aliante Board of Directors pictured (l-r) are Sonja Bankston-Cullen, Secretary; Mark Towers, Director; Nancy Prince, Treasurer; Warren Geller, President; Debbie Matthews, Director; Ed Ernest, Director; and Mark Smith, Vice President.

I invite you to attend a monthly meeting of the Finance Advisory Committee, also called the Finance Committee, and/or a monthly Board of Directors meeting to hear more details on how OUR money is being protected, accessed and invested.

GENERAL MANAGER

GET INVOLVED IN YOUR COMMUNITY AS A VOLUNTEER Dear Residents, Our volunteer committee members play a significant role in Sun City Aliante being named the best community in southern Nevada for the past three out of four years. I would like to give you some examples of how committee members work closely with management and the Board of Directors and get involved in making decisions that directly affect you.

For instance, the Finance Committee assists the Board to ensure the Association's finances and budgets are secure. On June 8, the Operating, Reserve, and Capital Budgets were ratified at the Budget Ratification Meeting.

one of the Sun City Aliante Committees. What are your interests and passions? I suggest putting your time and talents toward a committee you will really enjoy.

We have multiple openings. The Communications and Lifestyle Committees have one open position for a homeowner. The Finance and Patrol Committees have two open positions for homeowners.

Just pick up an application at the Front Desk of the Community Center or visit the website, www.suncityaliante.org, where you will find the application on the homepage under the heading “Documents,” then select “Commonly Used Forms.”

Volunteering your time and talents is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference, help others, and enhance the community and your property values. Enjoy the July 4th holiday!

Damian Carrasco General Manager

BOARD MEETING

The new budget included a quarterly assessment increase of $10 per quarter. As there were no other changes (i.e., account number or payment location), the only adjustment you need to make is the amount. A total of $210 is due on the 1st of July, October, January and April.

As of this writing, you should have received a new coupon book during the week of June 20. If you have set up a monthly automatic debit to your bank account, please make sure that you change it to the new amount. In addition, the Finance Committee recently approved changes to the current investments with FirstService Finance which will realize at least $15,000 in extra annual interest.

In another case, our Patrol Committee proposed the creation of a Ride-Along Program, which was approved by the Board and established on June 1. This initiative provides interested residents the opportunity to experience first-hand what The Patrol is all about. This is an on-going program. If you are interested, please pick up an application at the Front Desk. We always need more residents on The Patrol.

Additionally, the Communications and Lifestyle Committees joined forces on May 19 to host a very successful New Resident Welcome and Open House. More than 100 new residents attended the New Resident Welcome, hosted by the Communications Committee and had the opportunity to meet the Board of Directors and staff and learn about the many activities, events, clubs and special interest groups available to them.

Immediately following the New Resident Welcome, the Lifestyle Committee hosted the Chartered Club & Special Interest Group Open House. Representatives from the 40 plus clubs and groups stationed throughout the Community Center greeted new residents and offered information and opportunities for interested residents to sign up.

Last month, I recognized the members of Property & Grounds (P&G) Committee and the multiple projects they have been working on to make our community more attractive and appealing. In thanking the members of the Committee for their contributions, I missed listing the name of one member. My apologies to J. Daniel Arthur.

COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Dear Residents,

Hello Residents,

Happy Summer!

Summer is officially here! Make sure you have plenty of water, sunblock, and stay indoors to enjoy your air-conditioned home. This is not a good time to be planting or doing heavy duty garage clean up.

I would like to remind you that garage doors must remain closed unless used for egress and ingress.

Do not allow uninvited guests to enter your home, two-legged or four-legged critters alike.

Sun City Aliante is sizzling with spectacular opportunities to enrich the lives of our residents.

Climb aboard our chartered buses and experience life time memories! The spirit and camaraderie of this community is exceptional with residents returning from an excursion, commenting that “we sure know

The past few months have breathed a new sense of adventure and a desire to explore entertainment opportunities. Events are selling out quickly so you may want to stop by the Front Desk and sign up for events you would like to attend.

Here is what is waiting for your summer fun: July: 6 – Las Vegas ACES – WNBA – Mandalay Bay Michelob Ultra Arena 8 – Movie – Father Stu – Vista Room 11 – Las Vegas FlyOver – Wild West & Iceland + Spend a few hours on your own enjoying the Las Vegas Strip 15 – Happy Together Concert – The Smith Center 20 – Movie – The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent – Nicholas Cage – Vista Room 25 – Overnight Excursion – Tuacahn – Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story + Eureka Hotel Accommodations 30 – An Evening with James Taylor – T-Mobile Arena August: 23, 24, & 25 - Pageant of the Masters – California A trip is planned to tour the Nevada Test Site on November 2. More details will be available soon.

And that is just the beginning of the second half of 2022!

As we celebrate our nation's birthday this 4th of July, and show pride and appreciation, here's something to think about…

“Instead of buying fireworks buy two cans of pet food for a shelter animal.

Don't make a noise, make a difference!”

Happy 4th of July!

Debbie Kent Lifestyle Director

Last month, management enclosed the Age-Verification form (which is due in August) as an insert in The Breeze. A tremendous thank you to those residents who have already submitted their forms. I would like to remind those who have not yet turned in their forms to do so as soon as possible. Although I may sound like a broken record, it is very important that every resident return a form. There are some homeowners who swear they have submitted it only to get a violation notice because we do not have their form. If you are unsure, please call the Customer Service Office.

The Sun City Aliante Board of Directors approved the 2022-2023 budget with a $10.00 increase in assessments every quarter. Please remember this increase and adjust your payments accordingly. Assessments, which are not received by the 15th of the month when they are due (July, October, January, April) will incur a $10 late fee. Residents may drop off checks to the Customer Service Office and receive a receipt. For your convenience, we also accept your Aliante Master monthly assessments.

Please submit your assessment payments, whether you have a coupon or not. FirstService Residential does not send statements unless your account is already delinquent sixty (60) days.

Carol and I would like to encourage new residents to please take the time to register at our office. It is imperative we have pertinent information on file, such as, emails, cell numbers or landlines, emergency contacts, or alternate addresses to communicate with residents. If you lease your property, please instruct your tenants to register their lease agreements as well as their information. Activity cards are required to use the Community Center amenities. Residents, who wish to receive announcements via email, please register your email addresses to Carol so she can add it to the community e-blast list.

Now that summer is in full swing, the hot weather will surely motivate many of you to enjoy the Community Center pool. Why would you not?

We have an awesome pool area! Swimsuits are required for all residents and their guests. If you bring children as guests, they must be over 42” tall to swim in the pool. The pool is open to children under age 18 from noon to 2 p.m. daily ($2 fee per child). Children are not permitted in the spa or sauna. Please make sure they have appropriate swim trunks and/or suits.

No shirts or cut-offs are allowed to be worn, while in the pool or spa.

Many of you will have family and friends visiting you this summer, and I am sure you will want to show off our beautiful Community Center.

Please remember you are responsible for the conduct of your guests, and you must remain with them in the building at all times. You can review the Resident Rules for further guidance.

If you have any questions, please contact me at 702-638-5006 or assistantmanager@suncityaliante.us.

Have an enjoyable July 4th holiday and stay safe!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Hello Residents, The summer days are back in full swing keeping us warm and toasty; however, you can stay comfortable and cool in our Community Center. We invite you to attend our many fun, informative Lunch 'n' Learns and Snack 'n' Learns.

If you enjoy arts and crafts, you can sign up for the craft class on July 20, where you will learn how to make your own farmhousestyle sunflower wreath to brighten your front door or hang anywhere in your home. All materials are provided… just bring your creative spirit! On July 27, learn the facts and myths about reverse mortgages and how you can use this tool to supplement your retirement income. If you are following the market, you should not miss the presentation on July 28 when you will learn about the latest investment trends.

Perhaps, you are facing a surgery and rehabilitation. Why not get the facts beforehand to make an educated decision about where to go for a speedy recovery at the July 12 seminar? These are just a few examples. See the seminars in The Breeze and the weekly seminar eBlasts.

This month we celebrate one of my favorite holidays. I remember fondly my trips to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on the Fourth of July. My family would pack a picnic supper and a blanket, and we would head downtown to the Mall early to find a good spot to enjoy the concert and fireworks display.

In the spirit of Independence, I hope you enjoy these fun facts about July Fourth: •

The first Independence Day celebration took place in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776. This was also the day that the Declaration of Independence was first read in public after people were summoned by the ringing of the Liberty Bell.

•

Only John Hancock actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. All the others signed later.

•

The only two signers of the Declaration of Independence who later served as President of the United States were John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.

•

President John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe all died on the Fourth.

•

Benjamin Franklin proposed the turkey as the national bird but was overruled by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who recommended the bald eagle.

•

In 1776, there were 2.5 million people living in the new nation. Today the population of the United States is approximately 350 million.

•

Fireworks are part of the tradition of celebrating this national holiday. The United States spent $1.5 billion on fireworks, approximately 30,000 tons. It is reported air quality decreases by 42% percent on July Fourth due to fireworks.

Massachusetts is the only state that bans all consumer fireworks.

•

Barbecue, Beer, and Wine are also popular on Independence Day. Approximately 150 million hot dogs and 700 million pounds of chicken are consumed on this day, and people spend $1.4 billion on beer and wine.

•

Every July Fourth the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is tapped (not actually rung) thirteen times in honor of the original thirteen colonies.

If you have any questions about The Breeze, Seminars or eBlast, please contact me at 702-429-1623.

I wish you a safe and Happy Independence Day! Trish Williamson Editor, The Breeze (Source: Wallethub.com and Parade.com)

JULY 2022

MAYOR PRO TEMPORE RICHARD CHERCHIO Hello Residents, Wi t h t h e J u l y F o u r t h h o l i d a y f a s t approaching, the City of North Las Vegas is partnering with agencies across Southern Nevada to remind the public that “safe and sane” fireworks are the only type of consumer fireworks allowed in our city and only from June 28 through July 4 each year when nonprofit groups are allowed to sell them for fundraising purposes at locally licensed and inspected stands. The inter-agency “You Light It, We Write It” campaign to educate the public about what's allowed and not allowed – and the penalties if caught using illegal fireworks – will be active over the July Fourth holiday. Information about the initiative is available at www.YouLightItWeWriteIt.Vegas.

Our North Las Vegas Police Department cautions that even approved “safe and sane” fireworks can cause fires and injuries and should only be used with adult supervision. As part of the effort, the public is asked to report illegal fireworks complaints online at www.ISpyFireworks.com, instead of calling 911. Complaints logged on the ISpy fireworks site are for data collection purposes only – they do not result in a police dispatch. The public may call 311 to report illegal firework complaints but responses are prioritized based on available resources. Remember, the misuse of 911 to report fireworks complaints, instead of life-threatening emergencies, bogs down the local police and fire dispatch center and can reduce response times to emergencies.

In more exciting law enforcement news, the City of North Las Vegas broke ground recently on a new police station, the North Central Area Command. The facility in the Villages at Tule Springs Master Planned Community is being built as a public-private partnership between the City of North Las Vegas and DR Horton and is expected to open in May 2023.

The new 25,606 square foot area command, located at the corner of West Deer Springs Way and Harwood Creek Street, will provide additional police services to the City and its constituents in the heart of growing neighborhoods. As North Las Vegas adds population, services and amenities, the North Las Vegas City Council has made public safety investments a top priority to serve the City's bustling residential and business community and to expand the reach and impact of the City's public safety efforts.

Additionally, here is an effort I am proud of, we all know our veterans sacrificed so much to protect our country, and now it is our turn to give back to them! Recently, the North Las Vegas City Council and t h e Ve t e r a n s ' C o m m u n i t y C o m m i s s i o n c e l e b r a t e d t h e groundbreaking of the North Las Vegas Veterans Resource Center!

As part of the City's commitment to veterans and members of the military, the center will provide information about resources and social services, a space to collaborate with service providers, room for meetings and programming, and opportunities for social activities. Stay tuned for more information about when the center is expected to open!

Please stay safe and take care this summer. I can't wait to share even more exciting news with you in the coming months!

NEIGHBORHOOD NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MONTHLY BULLETIN: NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

With July comes travel. Some of you might be going away for a long weekend and others might be going away for a month or more. There are a few things you should do before you head out. Hopefully, you have met your neighbors, either someone to the left or right of your home or maybe across the street. It could be two or three houses away, just someone that you feel comfortable saying that you will be gone for a certain length of time. In case of an emergency at your home, give them your cell phone number; so, they can contact you. Ask them to watch for flyers or newspapers that may be left on your door or driveway that would make your house look like nobody's home. By now, we all have heard about porch pirates; be sure not to order anything that will be delivered while you are gone. One more thing to do while going out the door, turn the water off in the garage using the valve with the yellow handle.

PATROL COMMITTEE

SUN CITY ALIANTE PATROL

If you are having family or friends come for a visit, be sure to tell them a few things to make their stay safer. When the car is in the street or driveway, make sure there is nothing of value in the car in plain view. Do not leave clothing, a child's toy, or even a small cooler in your vehicle. Be sure to lock the doors and make sure the alarm is set. It is amazing how many vehicles that are broken into had unlocked doors.

HISTORICAL SPOTLIGHT

DISPLAY OUR FLAG ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

Many Americans celebrate Independence Day by displaying the Red, White and Blue in front of homes and businesses. On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that "the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white," and that "the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

In June of 1775, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to create the Continental Army-a unified colonial fighting force-with the hopes of more organized battle against its colonial oppressors. This led to the creation of what was, essentially, the first "American" flag, the Continental Colors.

For some, this flag, which was comprised of 13 red and white alternating stripes and a Union Jack in the corner, was too similar to that of the British. George Washington soon realized that flying a flag that was even remotely close to the British flag was not a great confidence-builder for the revolutionary effort, so he turned his efforts towards creating a new symbol of freedom for the soon-to-be fledgling nation.

As you celebrate the Fourth of July, here are some fast facts about "Old Glory."

1. It is widely believed that Betsy Ross, who assisted the Revolutionary War effort by repairing uniforms and sewing tents, made and helped design the first American flag. However, there is no historical evidence that she contributed to Old Glory's creation. It was not until her grandson William Canby held an 1870 press conference to recount the story that the American public learned of her possible role.

2. The lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner," America's national anthem since 1931, are taken from a patriotic poem written by Francis Scott Key after he witnessed the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. His words were set to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven," a popular British drinking song.

3. In the 1950s, when it seemed certain that Alaska would be admitted to the Union, designers began retooling the American flag to add a 49th star. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old Ohio student named Bob Heft borrowed his mother's sewing machine, disassembled his family's 48-star flag and stitched on 50 stars in a proportional pattern. He handed in his creation to his history teacher for a class

project, explaining that he expected Hawaii would soon achieve statehood as well. Heft also sent the flag to his congressman, Walter Moeller, who presented it to President Eisenhower after both new states joined the Union. Eisenhower selected Heft's design, and on July 4, 1960, the president and the high school student stood together as the 50-star flag was raised for the first time.

4. Unlike setting an intact flag on fire, flying one upside-down is not always intended as an act of protest. According to the Flag Code, it can also be an official distress signal.

5. The Flag Code stipulates that the Stars and Stripes should not be used as apparel, bedding or drapery.

6. The practice of draping coffins in the American flag is not reserved for military veterans and government officials. On the contrary, any burial may incorporate this tradition.

7. Etiquette calls for American flags to be illuminated by sunlight or another light source while on display.

8.During the Vietnam War era, some demonstrators burned American flags as an act of protest. The Flag Protection Act of 1968 was enacted in response, making it illegal to burn or otherwise deface the Stars and Stripes. In two landmark decisions 20 years later, the Supreme Court ruled that the government couldn't curb individuals' First Amendment rights by prohibiting desecration of the U.S. flag. Respectful burning of damaged flags according to established protocol has always been acceptable.

9. When flags are taken down from their poles, care must be taken to keep them from touching the ground. In fact, the American flag should always be kept aloft, meaning that rugs and carpets featuring the Stars and Stripes are barred by the Flag Code.

10. When the flags of cities, states, localities or groups are flown on the same staff as the American flag, Old Glory should always be at the peak. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they should be of equivalent size and flown from separate staffs of the same height.

KEEP YOUR COOL: TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE SUMMER HEAT The desert is not a forgiving place in the summer. Temperatures can hit extreme highs, and people can suffer from several issues when faced with the intense heat. Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and heat cramps are just some examples of heat-related illnesses one can face.

Here are some things to look out for when dealing with the extreme heat.

Warning Signs There are several warning signs when one is facing a heat-related illness. Some symptoms of heat-related illnesses include heavy sweating, headache, a fast and strong pulse, and nausea.

One of the key differences between heat stroke and heat exhaustion is the temperature of the skin. Cold, clammy, pale skin are signs of heat exhaustion, while a body temperature of 103°F or higher and red, hot, dry, or damp skin are signs of heat stroke. Call 9-1-1 if you or someone with you shows these signs of heat stroke, including confusion, seizure, or loss of consciousness. In both cases, it is suggested that the person move to a cooler location. If someone is suffering from heat exhaustion, consult immediate medical attention if they vomit, symptoms get worse, or if symptoms last longer than an hour after moving to a cool place.

Heat can also have an adverse effect on the skin. Sunburn will appear on exposed areas in the form of inflamed red, warm skin, while heat rashes will result in red clusters of small blisters that look like pimples. In the case of sunburn, do not break any blisters that appear and use aloe vera lotion on sunburned areas. In the case of a heat rash, keep the rash dry and use baby powder to soothe it.

What to Do to Avoid Heat-Related Illness The first tip is to stay hydrated. Staying hydrated is vital when temperatures rise. Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol, however, because

those can cause your body to dehydrate quickly and can also cause stomach cramps. Also, keep in mind that sweating expels salt and other minerals that are important for your body to function.

Electrolyte drinks or salt tablets can help replace these essential minerals.

Those who are diabetic, have high blood pressure, or follow a low-salt diet should speak with their provider before adding sports beverages or salt replacement tablets to their diets.

Planning outdoor activities can also go a long way in preventing heat-related illness.

Avoid running errands when the sun and heat are highest, and reserve outdoor activities for the early morning or later in the evening.

Utilizing shade is also suggested if you will be outdoors. If you are going outside, pace yourself and take breaks in the shade, especially if you feel yourself getting weak. Wearing light colors and loose-fitting clothing will also help, and, of course, wear sunscreen to protect your skin and avoid sunburn.

The last tip is to stay informed by paying attention to extreme heat alerts and to know the warning signs of heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and other heat-related illnesses.

UKULELE STRUMMERS

Happy July from Sun City Aliante Ukulele Strummers!

The weather is finally HOT. It is time to stay inside and play ukulele with the Ukulele Strummers! All three classes are having a great time learning and playing ukes together every Sunday afternoon. If you just want to stop on by and sing with us, that's great too. We play all types of songs including hits from the 1960s and 1970s, Dolly Parton tunes, the Blues, the Beatles, folk tunes and Hawaiian. We are happy to include new songs that students want to bring to class.

We continue to offer three classes every Sunday: • Basic Ukulele: Noon-12:30 p.m. - For those who have never played ukulele.

• Beginning Ukulele: 12:30- 1:25 p.m.- For those who are just starting to play.

• Advanced Ukulele: 1:30-2:30 p.m. – For intermediate players, who have attended ukulele classes, and know ten or more basic chords.

You will learn one or two new songs a week, play songs you may know, and learn special strumming techniques. continued on next page

VETERANS CLUB Greetings Friends, Neighbors, and Fellow Veterans: As you know, we held our BBQ/Picnic with the Auxiliary in May. We served over 200 people, and everyone had a good time. One of our objectives for the events we sponsor is to bring the community together; so, residents can meet each other. We are always pleased when we see people socializing.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who prepared the food, cooked, served, cleaned up and did all the other jobs needed to make it a success. I also want to extend special thanks to the maintenance staff in Sun City Aliante. They do an outstanding job and really help us with our meetings and events.

VETERANS AUXILIARY ARTICLE The Sun City Aliante Veteran's Auxiliary met on May 17 in the Vista Room at 9 a.m. They discussed their recent large paper towel and toilet paper donation for “Help USA,” which operates a transitional homeless veteran facility on Main St. in Las Vegas. It was very fulfilling to be able to help these veterans in such a basic way.

Their other project for May was Military Appreciation Month. Members supported “Operation Homefront” by helping set up a donation box in the Community Center for toiletries and snacks. These donations, along with 50 personal item bags from the Auxiliary, went to incoming Airmen at Nellis and Creech AFB for Armed Forces Celebration Day (May 21), to promote an appreciation for these young military personnel in the choice they have made to protect our country.

Greetings and welcome to our newest members: Rod Jones (Navy), Linda Jones (Army), Carlethia Murray, Grayce James (Navy), Chris Murawski (Air Force) Norman Coats (Navy), Philip Menard (Coast Guard). We would also like to extend an invitation to any resident of Sun City Aliante to come and join us.

Volunteers are needed. All interested community residents and past volunteers are welcome.

What is Volunteering and Why is it Important?

Connect with others: Another reason volunteering is so vital is that it provides you the opportunity to connect with other people.

Often, the service you perform while volunteering allows you to meet new people that you may not have met otherwise. Usually, these individuals have something in common with you and you can bond over the important work you are doing. This can lead to new friendships and even job opportunities as you are constantly meeting, interacting, and networking with new people.

There are no meetings, in July and August. We will see you at our next meeting September 20 at 6 p.m. in the Vista Room.

The Veterans Club & Auxiliary worked together this year for the May 21 barbeque in our community. This was a true collaboration between these two clubs which made it a success! Due to the pandemic, this was the first spring BBQ held since 2019. Thank you to all the volunteers and the hard work from both clubs to make the BBQ a reality this year. And thank you to our Sun City Aliante community for your generous support for our veterans, the BBQ and our fundraisers.

The Auxiliary's last meeting before their summer break was held on May 17. There will be no meetings June, July or August. They will return to regular meetings the 3rd Tuesday of each month starting on September 20 at 9 a.m.

In the meantime, if you need information, please email: Julie Tomlin at jtomlin55@msn.com or Hjordy Wagner at hwizwag@gmail.com. Have a safe summer!
