Don’t Miss “Hi, Neighbor!” on November 3
By Uta Kuhn “Hi, Neighbor!” has been an important event in Sun City Center since 1962. It is an annual event which is open to all of Sun City Center residents but is especially geared to our new residents who moved into our great community during the past year. It is an opportunity for them to find out what SCC is all about. We have upwards of 150 Clubs who display, talk about their activities, demonstrate their talents, display their various crafts etc. The list of Clubs is so extensive, it is impossible to mention all of them here. But just to give you an idea of the scope, they cover everything from archery, tennis, dancing of all different forms, sewing, yoga, billiards, bridge, Service Clubs, Military Groups, painting, crafts and the list goes on. Anyone interested in the full list can check out pages 22 and 23 of our Membership Directory. I had occasion to talk to Jackie Potts of the Information Center about “Hi Neighbor” … Jackie is originally from New York, having moved to the St. Petersburg area in 1981. From there she moved, with her daughter, to Sun City Center to be closer to her parents, but also for all the clubs available to choose from. She took two tours of our facilities
“Hi, Neighbor!” This Thursday!
Come meet your neighbors and get to know well over 100 community clubs and groups at “Hi, Neighbor!” Thursday, November 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at SCC Community Hall, 1910 South Pebble Beach Blvd. with a volunteer from the Information Center and was very impressed with the number of clubs which are the backbone of Sun City Center and the volunteerism
which exists in this great community. (as a matter of fact she became one of their volunteers.) Several years after moving to SCC she attended her first “Hi, Neighbor!” and was so impressed by the event that she volunteered to become a greeter. She has been the event’s greeter for several years now, and enjoys every minute of it. Here are a couple of quotes from her – “people come into the event a little tentative”. When they come back out, Jackie is still at her post, and those guests who

New Times & Opportunities for December 3 Holiday Breakfast & Walk By Kai Rambow “I love going to tables greeting people and letting them know we’re glad they are there. I also love working with the other volunteers,” enthuses Dee Kelly. With her ever-present smile, people look forward to seeing Dee at the July 4 and Holiday breakfasts. Once again, residents can get the same great deal: pancakes, sausage, eggs, toast, coffee and juice – all for $5. Only the hours have slightly changed: 7:30 -11:30 a.m. The breakfast will be set up in the Florida room at the Central Campus Atrium (North Pebble Beach). There is also a slight change for volunteer shifts. There will now be three of them: 7-9:30; 9-11:30; and 11-2. Having volunteered myself, I can attest this is a fun activity with a great chance to make new friends and see old friends who show up for breakfast. If you’d like to be a part of this year’s event, contact Joanne or Sam Sudman at “jsudman@tampabay.rr.com”. About 140 volunteers are needed for handling tickets, working in the kitchen, serving
food and cleaning up. The Sudmans work wonderfully with volunteers and have done a fantastic job coordinating the breakfasts since 2012. After breakfast, many residents take advantage of the Holiday Walk (clubs open from 9 a.m. -noon). The breakfast
will be held very close to the home for many clubs. Right after breakfast, people can walk to many of the clubs, see their work and purchase items for gifts. As many of you are aware, there is a tremendous amount of talent here in Sun City Center.
