PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Reserve and New Owner Reserve Assessment

Our Reserve is used to replace our equipment and other assets as they reach the end of their useful life and to perform maintenance on both our equipment, assets and our many amenities which can help extend their useful life. This is important to keep our community vibrant and to increase property values.

Our Reserve is funded in four ways. These four are investment income, your annual assessment (HOA), special assessments (when required), and the New Owner Reserve Account (NORA). Investment income is dictated to us by the financial institutions which means we control the other three methods to fund our Reserve.

We have been forthright with the community in stating that as of July 1, 2024, we will be approximately 44% funded. It is the Board’s fiduciary responsibility to provide the required funding of our Reserve. The consensus of three legal firms, all very knowledgeable in dealing with communities like ours, have advised us to reach a 70% funding level by the spring or early summer of 2029. This will coincide with the time we adopt our next Reserve Study which we are required to do by law every five years.

We have acknowledged the issue, we are addressing the issue, and the issue will be resolved. The three methods that we control to fund our Reserve; your annual assessment (HOA), special assessments (when required), and the New Owner Reserve Account (NORA), will ALL be considered by the Task Force, assigned by the Board, when developing the funding plan to get us to 70% funding by the end of FY2029 which will be June 30, 2029.

So why did the Board propose the NORA Amendment? The Board has proposed the NORA Amendment for two reasons. First of all, the original NORA enacted in 2005, contains a flawed approach for increasing NORA. Since 2005, NORA has only been increased when current homeowners contributed more of their annual assessment to Reserve than they did in the prior year. Any year where the Board elected not to increase your annual assessment (such as in years 2015 – 2017), or in any year that the annual assessment was increased but your contribution to Reserve remained flat, NORA was not increased. The second reason, and clearly the MOST important is that the NORA Amendment proposal contains an inflation clause that will increase NORA every year by the cost of inflation. And the BEST thing is that the New Owner Reserve Assessment has absolutely ZERO impact on current owners.

The New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) Amendment if approved will provide an additional $7 to $8 million dollars to our Reserve in FY2026 through FY2029. This is funding that will contribute greatly to us reaching our required funding level. Logic would dictate that if the NORA Amendment fails then the remaining two options at our disposal to fund our Reserve, your annual assessment (HOA) and the likelihood of a special assessment both will increase, more than necessary than if the NORA Amendment were passed.

In the President’s June message, it was clearly stated why $5,000 was selected as the starting point for the new NORA (if approved), the fact that there will be no adverse impact on home sales, the fact that it will help promote property values, and why the new NORA (if approved) will NOT be based on a percentage of sales price.

We should all be proud that we are ranked number 3 in the country for Age Restricted Active Adult communities. I am very confident that we will resolve this current challenge and remain a very vibrant and desired Jeff Rorick, President Sun City Summerlin Board of Directors community.

July-2024-Link-Final Friday, June 21, 2024 11:32:46 AM

By Patti Tripp/ Link

Come July the 18th, it’s “World Listening Day” -

and I know that suggestion may seem rather shocking.

so, allow me to now take the liberty to say –

I am guilty, as well, so to that I confess;

we don’t do that enough - our opinion comes first;

and I didn’t feel smarter – just got into a mess.

do we take a short pause or voice another outburst?

They say “listening’s” an art and ‘silence is golden’ –

Just try taking a breath - maybe listen for a change –

and for those rare occasions, I think we’re beholdin’!

tone it down so we now have a civil exchange.

What is all that important we MUST voice our side

What we say takes priority and we don’t take the time

while others sit silent, despite how they tried...

to hear what the others simply have on their mind.

We could learn from each other, then perhaps understand

Are we always so ‘right’, we just continue to voice

we are ever so different, every woman and man.

so others just sit there and are left with no choice.

We don’t have to agree, or even see eye to eye,

Nothing else seems to matter ‘cept what comes out of our mouth,

just get their perspective, try to understand why.

and the tone of our voice can morph into a shout.

Perhaps if more time were spent using our ears

100

It doesn’t matter the subject, we often lose track

they’d be more understanding – so try switching gears!

95

and just don’t allow time for someone else to talk back.

What a joy it would be if we could all get along,

75

Aren’t we all somewhat guilty of going on WAY too long

so it didn’t come down to who’s right or who’s wrong,

and whatever the subject, we are right, and they’re wrong!

We were given one mouth and two ears so we’d learn

25

But just for a moment, could we simply stop talking,

to perhaps stop and listen - giving others their turn.

An Annual Tradition on July 4th: Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest

By Gail Abrams / Link Many Americans celebrate July 4th with friends and family enjoying barbecues and fireworks. No July 4th event is more entertaining than Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Since 1972, the event takes place annually on July 4th in Coney Island at the original Nathan’s location. Participants have 10 minutes to eat as many hot dogs in buns as they can. A scorekeeper is assigned to each contestant to keep track of the number of hot dogs consumed. The men compete first, followed by the women. Annually, more than 35,000 fans gather to witness the event.

Across the United States and the world, viewers can catch the ESPN telecast of the matchup. George Shea hosts the contest. He is known for his entertaining, sometimes outlandish commentary, especially when introducing the participants.

George promotes this as a sporting event where competitive eaters are serious athletes who train all year for the chance to win. Last year, the winner for the 16th time was Joey Chestnut. In 2023, Joey consumed 62 hot dogs. The top female champion was Miki Sudo, who ate 39 and a half hot dogs and won

her ninth title. First place wins $10,000 and a glitzy belt. The top male is awarded a mustard yellow belt, and the top female wins a pink mustard belt.

Who will be the 2024 champions? Tune in and catch the zany event this year to find out!

Community Conversations: Living the Good Life in Sun City Summerlin

By John Berthelsen, Contributing Writer Do you remember the first time that you visited Sun City Summerlin? Maybe you were visiting a friend or relative who lives here. Or perhaps a real estate agent was showing you potential homes for purchase. Possibly you were here for a golf or pickleball tournament. For whatever reason, you decided that this could be a great place to live and enjoy the later years of your life.

Was it the four comprehensive community centers that caught your interest? The variety of outdoor activities like golf, swimming, tennis, and more? Perhaps you picked up a Link magazine and learned about the dozens of active clubs that cover such a wide range of activities. It might have been the opportunity to learn a new craft, play a fun card game, learn a new language, or expand your social circle.

Taken all together, you decided that Sun City Summerlin was the place you wanted to be. And hopefully, that is still the way that you feel about our community. We have hundreds of paid staff and volunteers who work hard to keep our HOA an attractive place to be. That not only keeps it desirable for you, it protects the property values.

a final home for most owners. Here in Las Vegas, they created Sun City Summerlin as an “active adult” community. They loaded it with amenities and resources for over 55 owners who wanted to have a variety of things to do. And in some cases that means it could be a transitional domicile.

We are fortunate to enjoy such a wide range of amenities.

While there are many new communities being created (just look on the west side of the 215), none offer as much as our own.

Perhaps they have a pool and a couple of sport courts, a card playing club or two, but probably nowhere near the social opportunities that our many clubs offer.

New residents invariably comment on how wonderful our common areas are, the wide range of activities that are available, and how friendly our residents are. That is what makes our community what it is. If you choose not to partake of the benefits, it is by your own choice. But prospects for enjoying life abound here.

How convenient that we can even stay inside Sun City Summerlin and still be able to utilize so many services. You can take a golf cart, or in some cases even walk, to several restaurants, drug stores, banks, grocery store, beauty salon, and doctor. We are truly a small city of 12,000 residents with commensurate services. And within a few miles there are a significant number of other retail and service businesses. It’s all good!

So, whether you choose an active lifestyle or if you simply want to be a homebody, you have what you need right here.

Enjoy your life!

A Brief History on America’s Beloved Food the Hot Dog! The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer would never be the same without the summer treat of hot dogs! Throwing hot dogs and hamburgers on the “barbie“ just speaks of laid-back fare and enjoyment of the summer months.

National Hot Dog Day is on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, and did you know the actual history harkens back to Roman times?

Presented is a brief history of the hot dog and some fun facts you may want to share as you and yours gather around to enjoy this traditional and tasty food.

The first mention of a type of sausage or hot dog was recorded somewhere between 900 BC and 700 AD where the sausage was mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey.

Quoting from “History Cooperative.org.” “As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted.”

Fast forward about 1,000 years in 64 AD. The story is that when Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar ruled, a humble cook by the name of Gaius was charged with cooking pig meat for the Emperor. One day Gaius thought the cooked pig might not suit the Emperor, and so he cut into the belly of the pig.

Immediately, the intestines of the pig jumped out. In a sense, Gaius literally discovered the first known form of sausage casing, and so the first casings to hold meat and spices was born.

Although Frankfurt and Vienna both laid claim to inventing the frankfurter around 1484, the term “frankfurter” was officially coined in Frankfurt, Germany.

But when did the term “hot dog” and the makings of hot dogs as we know them start? This is a hotly contested argument; German immigrants who brought the meat and sauce in a casing to the U.S. would say they should be credited for the name and present makings of the hot dog. Americans at the time claimed they were the ones who came up with the more casual term. In fact, it was neither.

The man given actual credit for popularizing the hot dog was neither German immigrant nor American. It was actually a Jewish immigrant from Poland whose name was Nathan Handwerker. In 1915, Handwerker went to work at a hot dog stand in Coney Island. His job there was to slice buns for $11 a week. This determined young man only ate hot dogs and used the kitchen floor as his bed. He waited until he had saved $300 and started his own stand. By shrewdly charging only five cents apiece for hot dogs and undercutting his former boss and competitors, his stand grew so popular that competitors went out of business. It was the birth of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs. By the Depression, Nathan’s hot dogs were known throughout the United States as prized all-American eats.

Some fun facts: Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest is a major sporting event.

The current record for the most hot dogs consumed in 10 minutes is 76! Believe it or not, hot dogs were one of the first foods ever eaten in space! Apollo 11 astronauts munched thermostabilized frankfurters (frozen dogs) during their moon mission. Apparently, they’re easier to eat in zero gravity than ice cream (they are still an approved food in space). According to The Guinness Book of World Records, the longest hot dog ever made measured over 668 feet long!

“A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz.” – Humprey Bogart

downs. It enriches our experiences and adds depth to our exis“As I tence. I am a big believer in choosing my friends carefully (my mother always warned me, “you are known by the company you See It . . . ” keep”).

Sure, you can celebrate with the many but only the few

I recently met a really great guy named Chris. He is new to SCS, and we chatted about his very interesting past experiences and places he has lived. He talked about what a great place SCS is and how easy it is to make new friends here.

Chris is a “people person” and just quickly got involved in SCS activities, making many new friends. We shared our gratitude for our LV home and all our friends here. Made me think...

Friendship is like a garden, it needs nurturing, time, and care to grow. Friendship is a two-way experience. Nurturing friendships involves regular communication, showing appreciation, being supportive, and making time for each other. It also means being a good listener, being reliable, and sharing both the good times and the challenges. I once heard that in life we may have many, many acquaintances but need only a few truly close friends.

are truly there to share the challenges and tribulations. Trust and reciprocity are key to any close friendship/relationship. We invest our energies carefully to develop these characteristics with only the very special friends who we call “dear friends”.

You know, finding friends who are not judgmental and who accept you as you are is not easy, but is the bed-rock of friendships. I have learned that “giving unsolicited advice” is a form a being judgmental. Judgmental folks often criticize, make assumptions about others, and fail to understand other points of view, and generally lack empathy for other people. It is exhausting for me to be around such people, whereas, being with folks who accept me as I am and are nurturing and supportive, fill me up, fill my life with color and music, and allow me to be the best ME I can be. THAT is TRUE FRIENDSHIP for me.

I am blessed to have such great friends... best friends... dear friends. It is easy to be with them, easy to care about them because they care about me, and one of the healthiest things I can ever do for myself. Losing 100 negative acquaintances is nothing compared to making one very dear, life-long, and trusting friend. Investing in our friendships pays higher

Friendships require the investment of time... taking time to make that supportive call, inviting someone to share a coffee or a walk or a lecture/class. Some folks lament that it is difficult to make friends and that folks don’t call them... yet, they, themselves, do not invest the time and take the initiative to reach out to their friends.

The value of friendship is immeasurable. It offers support, understanding, joy, and companionship through life's ups and

dividends than anything else that we can do.

SCS gives us the opportunity to meet so many different kinds of people... truly wonderful and diverse folks. We can reach out for new experiences and new understandings. I was so glad to be able to meet Chris... my new friend. We all are grateful to live in SCS... the place where great friendships are possible and encouraged... if we will but do our part... making the effort and being open to FRIENDSHIPS!

Friendship

Honoring Residents Corner:

Darlene Vaturi

By Darlene Vaturi

Darlene grew up in Youngstown Ohio where she worked in the family business, Fron’s Candies and Ice Cream, started by her grandparents in 1937. She did a variety of jobs in the company including customer service, bookkeeping, and making homemade chocolates and ice cream in 30 different flavors before it was in vogue to have so many selections.

Holidays were the busiest times when it was all hands-on deck to make the skillfully crafted Santas, Hearts and Easter bunnies all hand decorated with icing and bows.

One of her favorite items were the lollipops of all sizes up to two feet wide! Summer brought in customers to enjoy bowls of ice cream topped by the buyer at the ice cream smorgasbord that included syrups, nuts, fruits, candy, and whipped cream.

In 1989, Darlene and her husband, Mino, bought a house in Painted Desert on the golf course so they could spend vacations enjoying their two favorite passions; poker and golf. By the time they were sick of shoveling snow and ready to retire, Painted Desert had sold the golf course, making it hard to get a tee time. This prompted them to look at Sun City Summerlin. They meticulously researched the lots and built on the perfect one in 1996 right next to a green to avoid stray balls. “We used to play Eagle Crest before there were any houses around it. You could see the whole valley!” Although she no longer plays golf, she still enjoys watching. She and Mino are eager to show their grandson the golfing ropes this summer when he visits from Maryland.

Throughout the years, Darlene has been a member of numerous clubs. Her hobbies include Canasta Club, where she is a past president, Computer Club, Sewing, and Krafty Kritters. She has a passion for crochet and has completed many afghans that would rival the winners at the county fairs back home. She has supplied winter hats, mittens, and scarves to her relatives up North. It was her love of crochet that kept her sane during COVID-19!

Darlene has family spread out all over the country. Her daughter and son-in-law live in Maryland with their two children. They have traveled many times over the years to the East Coast and to nieces and nephews in California as well as returning home, during the summer, to visit friends and family in Ohio. Some of their favorite travels have taken them to Hawaii, Israel, and Yellowstone. But in the end, she especially loves coming back to the red rocks surrounding Las Vegas.

For more than 20 years Darlene had volunteered with the Sun City Summerlin (SCS) Patrol. She was Chief of SCS Patrol six years ago. She is currently a Watch Commander and Dispatcher volunteering 16 hours a week. “My main priority in 3 8 | L I N K M A G A Z I N E |

SCS Patrol is to educate residents who live alone or with disabled partners,” says Darlene. “If you have friends or neighbors who live alone, please have them give a key to their home to a trusted resident. Tell Patrol who that person is on your contact list. If there is an emergency, we can go in with your emergency contact to check on you. If we wait for Metro police, it can sometimes take up to three hours for them to respond and a couple more hours for a locksmith to arrive and open the house.

I’m not sure people know that stroke medication needs to be administered within the first three hours to be of significant value! It breaks my heart, not to be able to get in there faster to assist the resident who may be in need. Also, complete the Emergency Contact Form and be sure to update the information as needed. I am on a MISSION to spread this information and create awareness to help our wonderful Sun City Summerlin residents.”

Darlene nominates Arlene Goodman for the next article in the series: Honoring Residents Corner.

Preventing Falls, The Power is in YOU! Dynamic Balance Training

Most falls can be prevented, and you have the power to reduce your risk. Exercising, managing your medications, having your vision checked, and making your living environment safer are all the steps you can take to prevent a fall.

Six Tips to Help Prevent Falls More than one in four people aged 65 years or older fall each year, yet many falls can be prevented.

1. Talk with your health care provider about medication side effects.

2. Do strength and balance exercises.

3. Make your home safer by using night lights, installing grab bars in the bathroom, and securing carpet to the floors.

4. Get your vision and hearing checked regularly.

5. Stand up slowly to avoid dizziness.

6. Use a cane or walker if you need more stability.

What is Dynamic Balance?

Falls happen when you are moving, not standing still. When people think about balance exercises, they usually imagine standing on one leg, or other static balance exercises. What’s not easily understood or achieved is dynamic balance.

Dynamic balance, or maintaining balance while you move, is vital for older adults to reduce the risk of falling and to help ensure safety and independence around the home and community.

Dynamic balance (moving balance) is the ability to maintain an upright position while moving, including during activities such as walking, turning, climbing stairs, or standing from a chair.

Dynamic balance requires good static balance and reaction time to deal with changes to your body’s position in space and your center of gravity. Good dynamic balance also requires good proprioception. Proprioception is the body’s ability to sense where its parts are located and how they are moving.

Dynamic balance is more applicable to everyday movements.

What Contributes to Good Balance?

1. Core strength – Your core muscles brace your trunk and support your back. These muscles are an integral part of postural control.

2. Lower body strength- Muscles like the glutes help you hold a solid standing through the hips. They also adjust your center of 4 4 | L I N K M A G A Z I N E |

gravity to every weight shift as you move.

3. Back strength- Balance requires good posture and strong back muscles to hold your spine upright.

Why is Balance Training Important?

Balance training is essential for older adults and is an integral part of a fall prevention program. Balance training can help you prepare for navigating unstable surfaces or a sudden bump from a stranger on a busy sidewalk. Balance exercises can improve your quality of life.

2 Dynamic Balance Examples: 1. Stationary Marching Ÿ Start by standing upright with feet hip-width apart. Stand near a chair or countertop if needed for balance. Ÿ Lift right foot off the floor until knee is at hip height. Hold for 1-2 seconds before slowly returning right foot to the floor. Ÿ Next, do the same thing on the left leg. Ÿ Do this repeatedly until you have performed 10-15 repetitions with each leg. Ÿ Move slowly and with control while maintaining an upright trunk.

2. Heel-Toe Walk Ÿ Imagine walking along a tightrope. Ÿ Place right foot directly in front of left foot, touching the heel of the right foot to the toes of your left foot. Ÿ Now step your left foot in front of your right foot. Ÿ You may place your arms out to the sides for balance.

The goal is to develop confidence and as a result, these physical improvements may lead to an enhanced quality of life. Ideally, training for strength and balance should begin before the risk of falls begin to increase. For this reason, strength and balance training is important for everyone not just older adults.

Cataract 101 Lunch & Learn with Shepherd Eye Center Wednesday, July 17, 12 p.m. · Desert Vista, Room 1 A cataract is the clouding of the disc-shaped, normally clear lens of the eye, found just behind the iris. The lens acts much like the lens in a camera, focusing the images on the retina of the eye. The retina then transfers the visual image to the brain, which permits vision. When the lens is cloudy or opaque with a cataract, light does not properly enter the eye and is not properly focused on the retina. Cataracts are a normal part of the aging process and can begin to affect the clarity of vision at any age. In fact, it is said that most people will develop cataracts if they live long enough. Join doctors from Shepherd Eye Center with important cataract information. Limited tickets are available beginning July 1 with Social Monitors at Desert Vista, Mountain Shadows and Pinnacle.

For The Love of the Game: Interview with Current & Former President Of SCS Softball Club – Pat Faivre & Mike Gazarek

By Gail Abrams / Link Photos by Norman Wright Mike has been a member of the Softball Club for the past 13 years. He moved here from Ohio because of all the amenities Sun City Summerlin has to offer. When Mike checked out the softball field, he reawakened his love of the sport, having not played in 25 years.

Pat’s last stop was Richmond, VA. He and his wife moved here to be near their youngest grandchild. Their son lives here. “I played golf several times a week in Virginia, and when I came here, I rediscovered softball,” says Pat. “I’m in little league all over again!” Pat has been a member of the Club for the past five years.

When asked, Mike reflects on his greatest accomplishments as former Club President. “There are two: field improvements and the three-league proposal. For many years, we had two leagues. This year, there will be three

leagues. The vote was 65 to 14 in favor. The three leagues will narrow the gap between the age groups. We have 43year-olds all the way up to 90-year-olds.”

Pat adds: “I will make sure that the three leagues are implemented correctly. At the softball field, I posted a sheet with the three leagues: American, Central and National.

Players put their name down and circle which league they want to be in. Players’ skills are matched to the league they want to play in for more enjoyment and for safety. I also hope to continue the good relationship with the CCOC and be a model club (which I think we are).” Pat will work to balance the budget and collaborate with great sponsors. The Club works closely with the SCS Properties Committee to maintain the field in tip-top shape.

Last year, the Softball Club had 151 paid members: the highest membership in Club history (including three women members). Both Mike and Pat hope that more ladies will join the Club this year.

Pat invites residents to check out the Softball Club. “As soon as you join, you will have 100 new friends. You will feel like a kid again back in little league,” says Pat. Mike agrees. “It’s good exercise, to be out in the fresh air with good camaraderie. You will make a lot of new friends. For $50 dollars a year, it’s a lot of fun! You get 50 games, and we play all year long. Last year, we had opening day with food, two pizza parties, and a picnic. You get a

new uniform and a new ball every year. It’s great value and clean fun!”, says Mike.

The next season begins Sept. 23rd. There will be 160+ players, three leagues and 11 or 12 teams.

The original Boys of Summerlin Tournament Team was established in 2020 by Jim Herhusky (he was the manager, player, and sponsor). The team was a 60 Double A Division (age 60+). They won a couple of tournaments in 2020 and 2021. Mike took it over from Jim this year. They just won a tournament in April. Everyone on the team is a club member and a resident. There are 14 players. Exciting News: The

team is qualified to go to Florida to the Tournament of Champions in January 2025 (near Winter Haven).

Pat is on a team out of Henderson called the Desert Heat. There are five guys from the SCS Softball Club on the team. They went to 3 tournaments this year and came in second place.

Sun City Summerlin residents who want to check out the Club before joining can play two times before committing. For more information on the Softball Club, check out our website: scssoftball.club. Or contact Pat Faivre at: 541-207-2169. Pat can also be reached at: faivre.pat@gmail.com.

Stop the Scams!

YOU can help stop scammers in their tracks. Following the First a safe place. Once you get this setup, Tuesday presentation by Las Vegas Police Department on May you can use your 7, 2024, at the Starbright Theatre in the Pinnacle Community computer with conCenter, we could not get some of the warnings out of our fidence that you minds. It is always so concerning when unscrupulous people have done all you can try to take advantage of others, particularly seniors, who may to make yourself safer. not recognize the danger immediately.

On another subject, We are looking at your electronics for a quick minute. These remember that your Sun City crooks have two very easy, very powerful, accesses into your Summerlin Patrol volunteers are home and your head. Number one is your telephone and numavailable at all hours, every day. ber two is your computer. Keep this in the forefront, “IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE” it probably is a scam. If some- Phone number is 702-254 2303. Program that into your phone.

We try to support our neighbors, while leaving the actual police one is telling you, they are a relative and they have had some work to our great responders at Metro.

If someone befriends you online or over the phone and then continues with affirmations Darlene Vaughan, Sun City Summerlin Patrol of love, even if you have never met face to face, it most likely is a precursor to asking for money. Every red light should be flashing in your mind and all alarms should be going off in your head. Scam, SCAM, SCAM! What can you do? If it is the phone, you can simply hang up. If you find that is difficult to do, you can always ask pointed questions on details until you are sure they are not who they say they are. On the computer, close the message and block that individual from contacting you again. If you still feel conflicted about ignoring these advances, please call Metro and ask for some help. This may save you hundreds or thousands of dollars, maybe even millions. But that is just money; your very well-being is at risk. Please protect yourself.

For those of you, who are now thinking this might be way out of your comfort zone, think of the password manager as a locked box inside your computer that can hold all of your passwords for any and all sites you visit. With this program, you have only one (1) sign in password to utilize, the rest are out of “sight” of anyone else.

Basketball

Please join us and help make basketball a community exercise option for everyone. Currently, our basket is at Desert Vista on a pickleball court. The court's hard surface, availability, and dimensions are extremely challenging. We’ve asked for the basket to be relocated to a knee-friendly surface at the end of a tennis court or a new court built over an existing underutilized outside area. The court is reserved for shooting on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Tuesdays & Thursdays evenings from 5-8 p.m. We currently play half-court games twice a week at a local gym.
