Health Benefits of Laughter
One of the benefits of laughter is that it can help you tone your abs. When you are laughing, the muscles in your stomach expand and contract, similar to when you intentionally exercise your abs. Meanwhile, the muscles that you are not using to laugh are getting an opportunity to relax. Add laughter to your ab routine and make getting a toned tummy more enjoyable. Laughter is also a great cardio workout, especially for those who are incapable of doing other physical activities due to injuries or illness. It gets your heart pumping and burns similar amounts of calories per hour as walking at a slow, moderate pace. So, laugh your heart into health.

Architectural Review Jim Cherry 612-805-5637 ARC@suncityorovalley.com Zoom meetings Second and Fourth Tue., 2 PM
Since joining SCOV in December 2019, and going through a whole house/yard renovation, it didn’t take long to become familiar with the Development Standards. I have learned as a member of the ARC that we are homeowner volunteers tasked to advocate the improvement efforts of our neighbors. These Standards are the community’s effort to promote a level of continuity within SCOV.
Over the years, there have been updates reflecting the changing tastes of the community as a whole. The new Southwest door colors are a recent example. For some, there is still a wish for a broader opportunity to express one’s artistic nature. Fortunately, we have that opportunity to express ourselves within the interior of our homes. The exterior is set to reflect a broader expression of the community.
That said, community tastes change, and we should stay connected in a positive manner, making sure we adapt our Standards to best fit our community desires for a Southwest desert architecture.

Community Directory Chair Blythe Campbell 907-717-7546 scov.community.directory@gmail.com www.scovaz.com/members/services/directory
Do you have a gorgeous photo of a SCOV setting that would be perfect for the cover of our Community Directory? Submit your best SCOV photo by Sunday, June 19. Log in at www.scovaz.com/members/services/miscellaneous/ and click on SCOV Photo Contest Form.
Is your directory listing correct? Maybe you replaced your landline with a cell phone. Check both the online directory and the paper directory.
Is your deceased partner still listed? A lot of people like to keep their loved one’s name in the directory, for safety or for sentiment, so deceased spouses are removed only when the surviving spouse requests it. If you’ve decided it’s time to update your listing, just let me know.
To update your listing in the directory, the preferred method is to complete the online form “Change your directory listing.” Otherwise, you can fill out an orange card at the Welcome Center.
A word of thanks to outgoing chair, Lisa Collins, who has been diligent about keeping the directory up-to-date and ensuring that our print directories are completed each year. Welcome new chair, Blythe Campbell.
