Presidents Message

   We are back to our full monthly schedule of events and activities which includes two coed events each month.                 Your Club Board has implemented a few updates as follows:                                                                                               *We have changed the name of our discussion group to Exchange of Ideas.                                                              *We now have lanyard name badges for spouses and significant others.                                                                     *Registration is required for all of our events and activities. 

  October 27th is our Board Election. Your current Board will be running again and if you would like to place your name      on the ballot, you must do so by September 30, 2026. An email notification will be sent to all active members.                  If no members have submitted their name for Board consideration; the current Board will remain in office:                   Len Libman-President, Tom Boyer-Vice President, Massood Modarres-Secretary/Treasurer.

  **Per Sun City Summerlin Clubs and Community Organizations Procedures Manual: (Section V. 5. K)                              "If the slate of nominees contains only one nominee for each office, and there have been no additional nominees the      slate shall be considered elected by acclamation."

   All the best,                                                                                                                                                                            Len Libman                                                                                                                                                                      702-515-9368   lenscmc@gmail.com  


Please Note: Once you register for a Club event, if for any reason, you cannot attend please let us know.                  This is most helpful as our events and activities do fill up which results in a waitlist. If we do not get notified of cancellation, members on the waitlist get locked out. 

                                                       

You know you’re old when someone calls at 9 p.m. and asks if they woke you.

Retirement is wonderful. It’s doing nothing without worrying about getting caught.

You know you’re getting old when your birthday cake is a fire hazard.

You know you’re getting old when your doctor refers you to an archaeologist.

The older we get, the earlier it gets late.

Help Promote Your Club

Bring a friend or neighbor to one of our events so they can find out about our club and consider joining.

                                                                               

    Forward a copy of our newsletter to them for information.

                                             

 

We have business club cards for you to share with your friends and neighbors in the community. Let Len know and he will be happy to get you some.
