Loan Room - Community Assistance Chair Gay Russell Third Thu., 3 PM, WC1; Loan Room hours: Tue., Thu., 8-9 AM www.suncityorovalley.com/members/services/loan-room/
The Loan Room is located at the end of the Cart Barn and is open to all SCOV residents Tuesdays and Thursdays, 8-9 AM. Reservations may be made up to two months in advance of need, either at the Loan Room or on the website. Walk-ins are also welcome. When using the website, please remember that you are only making a request for items; it becomes a reservation when the process is completed by staff, usually twice a week. You will then receive a confirming email about your requested items. We have available most medical items, but some of the children’s toys are one-ofa-kind, so may not be available at the time of your request. During holiday times or seasonal parties, tables and chairs may be in short supply. We are open throughout the summer on regularly scheduled dates, unless otherwise notified. We greatly appreciate your continued support of our aluminum can recycling program.

Our committee is in recess. No meetings are scheduled this month. We plan to resume meeting in September.
Neighborhood Pride Chair Tempe Johnson 520-825-6994 Third Tue., 2 PM, WC3 It’s Monsoon Season – Hopefully If they haven’t already, the monsoons hopefully will arrive much to the delight of desert plants which so badly need the moisture. With the rains come weeds, and it doesn’t take much to make them pop their heads above ground. Keep an eye on your yard and remove weeds while they are still small. Rains also cause bushes and trees to grow, seemingly overnight. Be sure to keep them trimmed back and off pedestrian sidewalks. Tree branches must not hang lower than seven feet above the sidewalk, so as not to interfere with or cause possible injury to pedestrians. As a reminder, it’s a good idea to look at roofs in your neighborhood, as strong winds can sometimes lift and move the tiles. Be a good neighbor and let others know if you see any roof damage or trees down during the summer. With so many of our residents away, it’s helpful to keep an eye out for each other. Be a good neighbor. Take pride, not only in your property, but that of your neighbors and friends.
Posse Chair Linda Simōn 520-789-7169 posse@5LP.com First Tue., 3 PM, Desert Oasis (no meetings until further notice) www.scovaz.com/committees/posse/ (must be logged in first)
It’s hot outside, and many of you want to air out your garages. Just remember to be sure to close your garage doors before going to bed. You don’t want unwanted creatures to surprise you late at night or early in the morning. We are looking to resume Posse patrols in October. We’re looking for some new Posse members and ask that that they be willing to spend a minimum of six hours a year on patrol (two 3-hour patrols). For those who may be interested in joining the Posse, please call Linda Simōn. I would enjoy talking to you and being able to give you an overview of what we do. Be healthy and stay safe.
Sun City Oro Valley Tipster, July 2021
Properties Chair Rich Oaks richoaks114@gmail.com Third Thu., 9 AM, via Zoom
Like all of the committees at SCOV, the Properties Committee is comprised of resident volunteers who give their time and expertise to our community. Horace Shearman has been an exemplary member of the committee for 20 years. Horace is retiring from the committee. He brought important technical expertise to the committee as he is an electrician by trade with extensive experience as a plant engineer. Horace recently worked on energy-saving lighting retrofits at various SCOV buildings and parking lots. His cheerful willingness to serve and his knowledge of SCOV facilities will be missed. The committee has met recently via Zoom. Please see the calendar on the SCOV website for scheduled meeting dates, times and meeting format.

Cell phone cameras are great, aren’t they? Most of us use our phones exclusively to capture the scenes of people or objects that we want to keep for posterity or possibly submit to the Tipster. Lately, many of the photos that we receive are too small for use in the printed Tipster. The reason for this is that when the photographer saved or emailed the photo, they selected “small” when prompted by the phone. Please always select “large” or “actual size” if you want to submit the photo for the Tipster. If you have any questions about submitting photos, contact editor, Marsha Dean, mdean@ suncityorovalley.com, 520-917-8069.

During the summer heat, hydration is extremely important. Let’s be prepared for thunderstorms, possible flash floods and lightning. It’s officially monsoon season in Southern Arizona, which means we need to be careful. Be sure to observe the following suggestions to keep yourself safe while heading out on the course: Check the forecast and check it often. Download and use a reliable weather radar app. Seek shelter immediately if you’re not able to get off the golf course in time. Don’t worry if you can’t finish your round; we are happy to give you a rain check “credit” to complete your round another time. The important thing is to be safe and use your best judgment when the weather is questionable.
