increasing number of residents with home projects. We are proud that home owners are making large improvements to homes, yards, walls/fences, and vegetation. Now that trees are not required in front yards we are assisting owners in choosing smaller cactus and water-conserving plants as replacements. Contact the ARC to assist in all exterior home improvements so they can be completed quickly and within the Development Standards. Please check your house number lights to be sure they are all working and look to see that your numbers are clearly visible from the street in front of your home. The ARC is a committee to assist residents and the Association. Tucson Electric is in the process of updating home meter heads to a digital format for ease of reading and for future remote reading. These meters will only transmit usage amounts and have no other function. We have been assured the new meters will not affect any other transmissions to or from a residence.

Full communication about the possibility of a new fitness center is critical. As most everyone in SCOV knows, the FCC (Fitness Center Committee) has worked hard over the last several months to develop a plan for a new fitness center. They have done a terrific job of communicating with the community about their work. They have made a recommendation to the Board and will hold three informational meetings in January to present it. The meetings are scheduled for Friday, January 4, 9 AM, Monday, January 7, 3 PM and Thursday, January 10, 6:30 PM. The purpose of these meetings is to explain everything about their recommendation and to answer all questions. The Communications Committee commends the FCC for the work they have done and for their commitment to transparency and open communication. We urge all residents to attend one of the informational meetings. CAC Community Assistance Committee Chair George Holthus 818-1042; Carolyn Carson 825-1514
Aluminum Can Donations: Put those aluminum cans to work for SCOV. Deposit only empty, clean aluminum cans in the box outside the Social Hall kitchen. For safety reasons, do not deposit unrinsed cans which attract bees and may become a hazard. Profits fund the equipment for the Loan Room. Recently personal trash has been found in the aluminum recycling containers. Our volunteers must then sort this out and place it in trash receptacles. Please help us by recycling your aluminum cans but placing your trash in your trash containers. CAC volunteers delivered their fourth can load this year; it was 520 pounds which netted us $317.20 bringing the year-to-date total to $1,132.80. The CAC is responsible for the Loan Room which is located at the end of the Cart Barn. The Loan Room provides medical equipment, tables and chairs, rollaway beds and some children’s equipment for loan to residents. The Loan Room is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8-9 AM. Telephone reservations can be made on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 8-9 AM. Telephone January 2013, Sun City Oro Valley Tipster
