Dear Residents, There's No Place Like Sun City Aliante

You have created a community within a community by shaping an award-winning lifestyle. The CAI Award Celebration was held on June 15 in the Vista Room. Residents celebrated winning this major award for the f o u r t h t i m e i n fi v e y e a r s –CONGRATULATIONS!

Spring Fling Social

On May 18, residents enjoyed meeting other residents and participating in fun activities while dining on mouthwatering refreshments and winning exciting door prizes. Everyone had a great time and met many amazing people. Everyone that attended received a logoed Sun City Aliante Sunshade. It is “cool” to look out into the parking lot and see all the cars displaying their “Sun City Aliante” sunshade and promoting this outstanding community If you would like to receive your sunshade, please attend our next mixer this fall.

Las Vegas Sports Mecca

The Las Vegas ACES and the Vegas Golden Knights have earned Championship Titles and Sun City Aliante has supported both teams throughout the years. We have Las Vegas ACES tickets this summer and hope you can see these spectacular athletes in action.

Events for Everyone

The Lifestyle Department offers something for everyone: Free movies in the Vista Room, $15 Music Bingo sessions quarterly, $20 on-site Vista Room entertainment and when we have twenty or more residents requesting a higher priced event, we are selling out!

Fitness Instructors

Please know that we have been doing our best to acquire additional instructors, but there is a shortage in Las Vegas. Instructors must carry their own insurance policy, stay current with their certifications, and spend time creating routines, making it a significant investment on their part. We are so fortunate to currently have a wonderful team of Fitness Instructors and hope to retain them for many years to come.

Hello Residents!

As many of you prepare to head out on your summer adventures, I am sure you have it all planned out -from places to visit, food to eat, and lists of items to buy. However, those of you who prefer a no plans, go with the flow approach, should consider the benefits of vacationing near the water

Water has healing power for our bodies, but studies show it also has power to heal our minds. No one can deny the effects of what the world has been through since 2020 due to the pandemic, culture wars, political strife, and senseless violence by mass shootings. Many of us are understandably burned out, exhausted, struggling to build a balance or even battling depression. Water can help.

Neuroscientists say that spending time near oceans, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, canals, fountains, pools, or creeks can provide a range of benefits including calming anxiety, easing mental fatigue, and rejuvenating our minds. So, if you're still wondering what and where you should spend some time this summer, look for blue spaces. Bodies of water can produce a glorious sensational feeling of awe – this can lead to decreased stress and help us put things in perspective. I hope wherever you choose to go, you stay still, listen, and enjoy

A friendly reminder: Commercial vehicles are not allowed to be parked on the driveway or anywhere in the community overnight unless they are stored in the garage or the company logo is covered if parked in the driveway NRS 116 has regulations for certain vehicles that must satisfy the definition of a utility service vehicle in order for it to be permissible in a c o m m o n i n t e r e s t c o m m u n i t y M o r e o v e r, I w o u l d l i k e t o r e m i n d homeowners who are undergoing any construction, if you must leave materials or equipment beyond your driveway, please place hazard cones in the area to warn pedestrians and motorists.

LAUGHTER, the best medicine: A musician hears of a loner who dies with no friends or next to kin. Touched, he decides to go to the funeral and play his bagpipes as a tribute. Lost on his way to the gravesite, he finally arrives an hour late to find two men shoveling dirt back into a hole in the ground. The musician jumps out of his car, pulls on his bagpipes, and proceeds to play “Amazing Grace.” It's so beautiful that the two men stop shoveling to wipe away a few tears. “That,” says one to the other, “is the most fitting tribute I have ever witnessed to the installation of a septic tank.” – Roger Simmons, Wilmington, NC

Killing them with kindness is taking much longer than I expected. – Vince Rozmiarek, Indian Hills, CO.

In celebration of Independence Day, the Administrative Offices will be closed all day on July 4 and will reopen on July 5 at 8 a.m. The Community Center will be open regular hours, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on July 4.

No Rest for the Weary

Well done, Sun City Aliante, well done!

Happy 4th of July!

Scammers and con-artists have been around forever, but with the introduction of technology and the internet, scammers have developed more advanced methods of making their way into your wallet.

This month we celebrate one of my favorite holidays—the Fourth of July. I remember fondly my trips to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to watch the fireworks. My mother would pack a picnic supper, and we would head downtown to the Mall early enough 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.

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

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

• Every July Fourth the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia is tapped (not actually rung) thirteen times in honor of the original thirteen colonies. (Source: Wallethub.com and Parade.com)

I wish you a safe and Happy Independence Day!

Hello Sun City Residents,

As we embrace the arrival of summer, my warmest wishes go out to each and every one of you. I hope you all had a great Fourth of July, celebrating joy, unity, and appreciation for all of our freedoms. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to update you on all of the exciting happenings in the City of North Las Vegas.

First, I would like to remind everyone about our VIPS (Volunteers in Police Service) program, which offers numerous opportunities for you to get involved and make a positive impact in our North Las Vegas community VIPS participate in patrolling neighborhoods, assisting at traffic collisions and general office tasks. Another way to get involved is by joining our upcoming NLVPD C i t i z e n s A c a d e m y. T h i s f o u r - w e e k c o u r s e h e l p s f o s t e r a d e e p e r understanding between citizens and law enforcement officers. Participants have the opportunity to gain invaluable insights into the pivotal role that law enforcement officers play within the criminal justice system. Join us and contribute in creating a safer and more connected community for everyone. Feel free to visit our CNLV website for additional details on both programs.

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all the incredible seniors who participated in Operation Warm Heart in June. Your dedication to organizing an animal rescue drive and collecting essential supplies, including food and miscellaneous items, for animal rescues is truly remarkable. Your selfless efforts have undoubtedly made a significant difference in the lives of countless animals in need.

While on the topic of caring for animals, I am delighted to share that Heaven Can Wait Animal Society was recently selected as one of our Businesses of the Month. Heaven Can Wait Animal Society is a nonprofit founded 23 years ago dedicated to preventing unnecessary euthanasia and improving quality of life f o r a n i m a l s i n o u r c o m m u n i t y We g r e a t l y appreciate their dedication to making North Las Vegas the “purr”fect place for our furry friends.

A few reminders as summer p r o g r e s s e s P l e a s e remember to provide your p e t s a d e q u a t e s h e l t e r , access to fresh water, and p r o t e c t i o n f r o m e x t r e m e h e a t a s o u t l i n e d i n Ordinance No. 3053. Let's all work together to create a community that prioritizes the welfare of our beloved animals.

Thank you to Heaven Can Wait Animal Societyrecently selected as one of our Businesses of the Month - for improving the quality of life for animals in our community

Also, I want to let our families know that some of our CNLV sports fields will be temporarily closed throughout the summer for turf conversion. This project aims to improve the quality of the turf by replenishing it with Bermuda grass seed which requires less maintenance and water. A detailed field closure schedule is available on our City's website.

Finally, I would like to remind you that Olive Garden has now opened its doors on "Restaurant Row" at 1250 East Craig Road. This exciting addition to our community brings the delightful flavors of Italian cuisine, a warm ambiance, and exceptional service. Gather your loved ones and indulge in a memorable dining experience at Olive Garden. Bon appétit!

Yours in service,

Richard Cherchio Ward 4 Councilman
