Sew’n Sews of SCC
By Paula Lickfeldt Any resident of SCC with an interest in sewing needs to know about the Sew’n Sews. This club with a membership of over 200 does everything that has to do with sewing. The group meets at the Arts and Crafts Building on Cherry Hill Drive and is open any time that a monitor is present. Different groups and different classes are offered all during the week. Check the schedule by visiting the shop. Mary Lou Bogdan, past president of the club shared some of the busy schedule. Once a week, Jan Ring sends out an email telling the members what they will make at their weekly meeting on Wednesday morning and what to bring. Monday morning is a quilting day. The quilters bring their project and help each other with cutting and pinning. Nancy Carroll teaches sewing classes all year depending upon her schedule. Thursday and Friday mornings are blocked out for classes such as sewing personal items. Tuesday afternoon is time for personal sewing, and Wednesday afternoon is set aside for hand quilting. Once a month the members have a “sewing and eating” evening. A theme is set for the potluck such as we will be eating Italian or Mexican and everyone
brings a dish to share. After the meal, the gals make things for donation, such as pillowcases for cancer patients, dresses for little girls in Africa or India and baby items for Choices, which is a place for pregnant women to go and take classes and get help learning how to take care of a new baby. Sew’n Sews make Chemo Caps for any woman with Cancer and “Fidget Aprons” for people with Alzheimer’s. The club has eight sewing machines, two embroidery machines and four surgers. Any member of the club can use any of the machines after taking the lessons on the use of the machine. The club donates items to A Kids Place in Brandon both in the summer and in the winter. Linda Starkey is in charge of making quilts for the Shriners. The group also makes pillow cases to be filled
with Christmas gifts, books, candy and toys for the annual Shriners Christmas party for children in Wimauma and Ruskin. Anyone who has fabric to donate can take it to the Sew’n Sews shop. Any sewing supplies will be accepted for donation. Anything that is not used by the club members is taken to the Nearly New Shop. The ladies love to go on “shop hops” which include quilt shows and fabric stores and of course they go to lunch. Any time that the shop is open, folks from the community can come in to buy things. For sale are doll clothes for 18 inch dolls, quilts, aprons, purses and many other items. For the donation of $10 per year any resident of SCC can belong to the Sew’n Sews. The members join to be able to sew for themselves and their family and all of the sewing for charity that the club does.
By Diane M. Loeffler The cool place to be on Saturday afternoon, September 8 was the outdoor pool on the North Campus of Sun City Center. From 1 until 4 p.m., Dave “Motown” Morris sang while CA members visited, ate, and danced under sunny skies. Most dancers kept cool by swaying and dancing right in the pool, but a few individuals danced on the
pavers around the pool. The Macarena, My Girl and Heard It Through the Grapevine were especially popular with the pool dancers. However, what really caught everyone’s attention was Morris’s rendition of the Frank Sinatra song, My Way. At the close of the song, people in the pool and in the surrounding area all stopped to applaud. Ambreen’s Cafe’ Luna was open for
anyone who wished to purchase food, ice cream or refreshments. Corn hole games were set up near the gazebo. At the shallow end of the pool, water volleyball enthusiasts played several games with a bright yellow ball. The atmosphere was festive, and everyone was smiling. The weather cooperated beautifully. The afternoon’s summer shower waited until after 4 to arrive.

Volleyball “court” was set up at the shallow end of the pool. If you would like to play water volleyball, come to the pool from 5 to 7 on Tuesdays and Fridays.
