PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE

In FY2026 through FY2029 our community needs to provide $30M in funding to reach 70% funding in our Reserves per legal counsel.

Ballots have been provided to all of our owners to vote on the New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) Amendment. This vote is required as the Amendment presents a change to our Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs). The amendment requires a (67%) approval, of all owners, to change our CC&Rs.

This amendment is being proposed due to a flaw in the mechanism used to increase the New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) in place today. This flaw has caused our NORA to be much lower than it should be today. This amendment will modify the mechanism to properly increase NORA by the rate of inflation each year.

As of October 30, 2024, only 68.3% of our owners have voted on the proposed Amendment with 82.7% voting to approve. 2,458 owners have not yet voted. We need you to vote as soon as possible so the Task Force assigned to provide our fiscal plan for FY2026 through FY2029 can best advise the Board on how to proceed.

Benefits of Approving the New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) Amendment

Ÿ Will provide $8M (26% of the $30M) at no expense to our current owners.

Ÿ Will fix the flaw in the mechanism used to increase the New Owner Reserve Assessment currently in place.

Ÿ Ensure that our Reserve Account will be properly funded going forward.

Ÿ Will provide for lower increases in our annual assessment (HOA) going forward.

Ÿ Allow us to reach the required funding level with no Special Assessment. Failure to approve the New Owner Reserve Assessment (NORA) Amendment

Ÿ Leaves in place the flawed mechanism used today to increase the New Owner Reserve Assessment.

Will result in higher increases on our annual assessment (HOA) going forward.

Ÿ May include a Special Assessment in order for us to reach our required funding level.

Please vote by December 17, 2024, allowing the Task Force and the Board to proceed accordingly as they enter the budget sessions scheduled in early 2025.

SCSCAI General Membership Meeting NORA Ballot Count October 30, 2024

Dear Sun City Summerlin Owners,

The SCSCAI Membership meeting for the purpose of counting ballots was called to order at 8 a.m. (October 30, 2024) and concluded at approximately 9:57 a.m. The results of the NORA initiative ballot counting were as follows: 828 - YES Votes in favor of the NORA Amendment / 391 - NO Votes not in favor of the NORA Amendment.

One (1) Ballot was voided because the person did not sign their ballot.

1. The combined vote from September 5, 2024, and October 30, 2024, is as follows: Yes Votes Needed No Votes Needed

5,197 (67%)

2,560 (NO)

September 3,552 527

October 828 391

Total Combined 4,380 918

2. There are 7,781 homes in Sun City Summerlin with 7,756 Eligible Votes*. It will take 5,197 (67%) YES votes to pass the NORA amendment or 2,560 (33%) NO votes to defeat the NORA amendment.

*Members in good standing.

Since enough votes were not obtained to pass or defeat the NORA amendment, the Board of Directors passed the following motion, therefore the balloting period is extended to December 17, 2024, at 5 p.m. – only for those Owners who have not yet cast a valid ballot.

Motion: In the event we do not reach the number of votes needed to pass or fail the NORA Amendment, the Board of Directors hereby votes to extend the voting period until December 17, 2024, at 5 p.m., only for those who have not yet cast a ballot. If the number of votes needed to pass or fail the NORA Amendment are received, then the voting period will not be extended.

Those Owners who have not yet voted or votes were not recorded due to a voided ballot, will be provided a new ballot and may be contacted by a member of the Election Committee Sub Committee. The ballot box will be at Mountain Shadows Community Center once the new ballots are available.

Sent from the Office of the Executive Director on behalf of the SCSCAI Election Committee.

December 29th National Still Need To Do Day

By Patti Tripp/ Link

Well, 2024 is coming to a close the end of this month, and how many things did you not get around to in the past 360+ days? Before ringing in the New Year, will they get done or just added to 2025? The first thing on THAT list will be to take down all the Holiday decorations, find a place in the garage with the hope we remember where we put them come next year, perhaps reiterate the New Year’s Resolutions we did not accomplish in 2024. Do we even remember what we intended to do and, apparently, just did “not get around to it”?

Did we forget to improve our diet, our golf swing or our tennis serve, get more exercise, clean out the cupboards, toss out old paperwork now faded beyond recognition, replace brittle windshield wiper blades, or simply say you would get around to it tomorrow? Well, ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow is here but they are getting fewer and fewer for THIS year. We all know what road is paved with good intentions, and often goes less traveled. How we ran out of time, or enthusiasm, always comes as a surprise. We wake up and wonder where the year went, and it went so fast we are now looking at the start of yet another one. We started 2024 with a list of projects, be they big or small, with enthusiasm, then seem to fall into the Scarlet O’Hara mindset –“I'll think about that tomorrow”. Now, many of those things we thought about are we still just thinking about and, somehow, have put them on the proverbial “back burner”, and a very crowded “back burner”? There are often legitimate excuses, granted, but then, we can find a way to make up our own – “the dog ate my homework doesn’t work”!

Our “To-Do” list can be overwhelming, and as the days pass there are more things added than are sometimes accomplished. The smallest becomes insurmountable and our energy to get them done wanes as the days pass that may have now turned into a year. It’s easy to get side-tracked or find things to do more interesting or more fun. I can get sidetracked going from one room to another, and staying focused was never one of my strong suits which is why my Alexa device goes off all day long!

So, as the year comes to a close, and all those things we had on our “To-Do” list are now on our “Still Need to Do” list, so the question is will it change? I seriously doubt it. Will I change my diet – not as long as they still make chocolate. Will I improve my golf swing – will probably just stop keeping score. Will I exercise more - well, that was never an option to do, but I do think about it which should count for something!

As “National Still Need To Do Day” arrives, how you bring in 2025 is decision-making time? Make a list or decide NOT to do it – period. To be honest, for me, I did nothing to change the world; I still lift my head on my golf swing; the first time it rained this year, I had actually forgotten how to turn my windshield wipers on, so I just drove back into my garage and waited till it stopped raining! My desk drawer folders are still over-flowing, and I also did not get my garage cleaned. So, as my 2025 arrives, “I'll think about that tomorrow”. I find I can live with that.

Hanukkah: The Festival of Lights

By Gail Abrams / Link

Hanukkah, the joyful Festival of Lights will be celebrated this year from December 25, 2024 – January 2, 2025. The eightday holiday commemorates the Maccabees defeat of the Syrian Greek militants who occupied Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple. Once victorious, the Maccabees sought to reinstate the Temple service and light the Menorah (a candelabra that holds nine candles). In their search for oil to light the Menorah, they found one small jar of olive oil, enough to last one day. Miraculously, the oil from the one small jar burned for eight full days.

In observance of the holiday, the Menorah is the center piece of Hanukkah. The center candle (or the ninth candle) is called the shamash/helper candle and is used to light the other eight candles, one candle is lit each of the eight days of Hanukkah. Blessings are recited before lighting the Menorah each of the eight nights.

Traditional Hanukkah songs are enjoyed by adults and children alike. The game of dreidel (a four-sided spinning top) is played by children. Families gather to exchange gifts on each night and eat jelly doughnuts and latkes (potato pancakes), served with sour cream and apple sauce. Children are given chocolate coins (known as gelt).

Happy Hanukkah!

Learning Origin Aboutand ofKwanzaa the Meaning

December is a month of many deeply spiritual, religious and happy celebrations. One such holiday is Kwanzaa. Like many, I’ve heard about this holiday but had no real idea what it was about. It is a beautiful celebration but not religious, and this is what I learned:

Kwanzaawascreatedin1966byDr.MaulanaKarenga,Professor andChairmanofBlackStudiesatCaliforniaStateUniversityinLong Beach.IntheaftermathoftheWattsriotsinLosAngeles,Dr.Karenga searchedforwaystocreateacommunityforAfricanAmericansto cometogether,hopingtofindsomewaytoacknowledgeandrespondto theracialandeconomicchallengesfacedbyAfricanAmericans.

His vision was to create a holiday that would close the year out with gratitude and usher in hope for a brighter future. He borrowed from traditional holidays like Hannukah and other celebrations, as well as studying and blending different forms of harvest festivals from various African cultures and the traditions celebrated by the Ashanti and the Zulu.

Dr. Karenga hoped to combine these different traditions and use them to create a week-long holiday, thus the holiday of Kwanzaa was born. Kwanzaa comes from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which translates to “first fruits” in Swahili. This year, Kwanzaa begins on December 26, 2024 and ends on January 1, 2025.

Dr. Karenga created a set of seven principles, one to be discussed each of the nights beginning with a candle lighting on the Kinara (or candleholder). The first is the black center candle which symbolizes the first discussion of Unity.

The principles for each night are as follows:

1. Unity – to strive and create unity in family, community, nation and race.

2. Self-determination – to define, name, create and speak for ourselves.

3. Collective Work and Responsibility – to build and maintain community and to help others solve problems together.

4. Cooperative Economics - To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.

5. Purpose – to collectively build and develop community in order to restore traditional greatness.

6. Creativity – to always do as much as possible in the best way possible to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than what was inherited.

By Molly Sher/Link

7. Faith – To believe with all our hearts in our people, parents, teachers, leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Who in today’s world celebrates Kwanzaa? First, it is an American tradition and did not exist in countries such as Africa before 1966. Second, while it is widely celebrated in many U.S. cities with large Black populations, it has also spread worldwide in the Caribbean, Brazil, Canada and France where there are large and diverse Black communities.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, Kwanzaa promotes inclusivity, and this beautiful and meaningful holiday embraces anyone who resonates with the holiday’s principles of unity, self-love and community service.

There is much more to this holiday, including seven symbols for each night, a feast and gift exchanges. For more information there are many websites that explore this holiday in depth.

"The holiday, then will of necessity, be engaged as an ancient and living cultural tradition which reflects the best of African thought and practice in its reaffirmation of the dignity of the human person in community and culture, the well-being of family and community, the integrity of the environment and our kinship with it, and the rich resource and meaning of a people's culture."

“As I See It . . . ”

Compassion!

By Alan G. Spector /Link True

So, 2024 is drawing to a close and the Quarter of a Century mark looms large. Remember the “millennium” and debates on how to pronounce the year 2,001 or 20-01 or? Well, the time has flown, but now we have another new year... another chance to reflect and make resolutions... to commit to starting anew. This is a great time (there never is a bad time) to open ourselves to giving and receiving compassion... to offering “true compassion” to others AND to accepting the same gift from others.

True compassion is the deep awareness of and desire to alleviate the suffering of others, coupled with a genuine sense of empathy and action. It involves understanding another person’s pain, feeling connected to their experience, and being motivated to help them, without expecting anything in return. True compassion goes beyond mere sympathy or pity; it requires emotional engagement and often prompts a selfless response to make a difference in someone’s life.

In essence, it's the recognition of our shared humanity and a commitment to act with kindness and care.

I was reminded of this very touching story which shows us the way.

The Lame Dog . . .

A small business owner had some puppies for sale. He hung a sign in his window advertising the puppies and shortly thereafter a small boy entered the shop.

“Mister,” said the boy, “I’d like to buy one of your puppies.”

“Well,” said the old man, “these puppies come from fine parents and cost a large sum of money.”

The young boy from humble beginnings reached into his pocket, pulled out a handful of gold coins and held it up. “I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?”

“Sure,” said the store owner. And with that he let out a whistle. “Here, girl!” he called. A dog ran over followed by her four puppies.

The little boy pressed his face against the glass and his eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way across the floor, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse.

Slowly another little ball of fur appeared, this one noticeably smaller. In a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up.

“I want that one,” the little boy said, pointing to the runt.

The old man knelt down at the boy’s side and said, “Son, you don’t want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.”

With that the little boy stepped back, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. He revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg and attached to a specially made shoe.

Looking back up at the old man, he said, “You see sir, I don’t run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands.”

With tears in his eyes, the old man reached down and picked up the little pup. Holding it carefully he handed it to the little boy. “How much?” asked the little boy.

“No charge,” answered the old man. “No charge.”

Moral of the story: Everyone deserves love and understanding.

So true. EVERYONE deserves LOVE and UNDERSTANDING. EVERYONE. Those we love and those we meet deserve love and understanding... and SO DO EACH OF US... YOU! So, our pledge can be to offer TRUE COMPASSION to others and just as importantly to be gentle with ourselves... to LOVE and be COMPASSIONATE with ourselves.

Welcome, 2025 . . . we are ready for you... with full hearts and spirit. We celebrate YOU and OURSELVES.

Happy New Year all.

Community Conversations: Committee Functions and Responsibilities

By John Berthelsen, Contributing Writer

Many homeowners in our community understand how the HOA functions and operates. While many others, especially newer residents, may not fully comprehend how we manage our 7781home development. Even those who have lived in other HOA’s may find that Sun City Summerlin does things differently than where they previously owned a home.

First and foremost, we are a self-managed large-scale community. We are, in fact, the largest in Nevada and one of the largest in the United States. Unlike some HOAs that pay a management firm to administer it, we do it ourselves. We have our own paid staff to handle all departments, operations, and services. That offers a clear benefit over trying to communicate with a third-party service. The elected board of volunteers sets overall policy and direction, and our staff implements and manages daily operations.

One of the most important, in fact critical, ways we operate our Sun City Summerlin community is through the several standing committees that we have. These committees (Architectural Review, Fitness, Finance, Common Area Properties, Golf, Legal, Chartered Clubs and Information Technology), are composed of volunteer homeowners who meet with appropriate staff each month. Very little gets done in our community without the input, review, research, and recommendation of these committees.

Nearly every agenda item that is presented at a Board Meeting has been previously vetted, researched, debated, and approved by one or more committees. We utilize the expertise of the homeowner members to assist our staff and the Board in making beneficial decisions. By the time a matter gets to the Board, it has been thoroughly scrutinized and considered. Results of the committee work, and their recommendations, are placed in the Board Meeting Packet for all to review. Without this kind of support, the Board would spend countless hours in order to make informed decisions on matters that come before it.

With as large a population as Sun City Summerlin has (estimated at 13,000), we have an enormous resource of talented and knowledgeable residents in a variety of fields. By using this expertise, along with their willingness to contribute, we all benefit from utilizing an important means to successfully operate our HOA. This is a resource that sets our community ahead of most others. And we are very fortunate to be able to draw on that knowledge base to operate our community. The significant and valuable contributions of these committee members have been proven time and time again.

If you truly want to be “in the know” about what is going on, what is being considered, and what will be moving forward to the Board, pay attention to the committee agendas, information packets, and minutes. All committee meetings (except Executive and Hearings) are open to the public to attend in person or by Zoom. Agendas and packets are published in advance of the meetings. The meeting schedule of the various committees can be found on the Link calendar page or on the Sun City Summerlin website. Each committee has a regular monthly meeting, although some may occasionally be cancelled for lack of agenda items.

As with all of our meetings, homeowners can make comments and ask questions on agenda items at the beginning of the committee meeting. And open comments are welcomed at the end of each meeting. The committee members and staff will consider resident input as they discuss and deliberate any item that is coming before them. We do not operate in a vacuum or behind closed doors. This is a very effective time for all points of view to be taken into consideration and for residents to give feedback on subject matters within the committee’s purview. Homeowner comments and suggestions will be considered by the committee as it deliberates and reaches a decision.

If you need assistance in determining what committee can respond to your specific questions, concerns, or ideas, you should ask a Board member. They will be able to provide a pathway for your input. By working together, we are all able to contribute towards effective management of our community. And, keeping our position as one of the leading HOA’s nationally.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day & A Tribute To World War II Veterans

By Norman Wright and Gail Abrams / Link

December 7, 1941, was a quiet, peaceful Sunday morning in Pearl Harbor, home to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor began without warning at 7:48 a.m., Hawaiian time. The world changed that Sunday morning. That day, 2,403 died and 1,178 were injured. Two battleships sank (the USS Arizona and the USS Oklahoma); 188 aircraft were destroyed. On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his “Day of Infamy Speech”, and Congress declared war on Japan. The United States entered World War II and war on Germany was declared soon after.

What follows are photos detailing places where decisive battles were fought and important sites that remind us of the ultimate price many brave individuals paid with their lives.

Eighty years ago US Soldiers were fighting their way towards Berlin. These pages are a tribute to the World War II Veterans who served with honor and courage. Their actions saved us from tyranny and granted us a future filled with hope and freedom.

Battle of the Bulge Monument and US Memorial located near Bastogne, Belgium honors the 19,246 dead, more than 23,000 captured, and the injured from 48 U.S. states. The Battle of the Bulge took place from December 16, 1944, to January 25, 1945. The 80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge is commemorated this December 2024.

Memorial plaque to the 101st Airborne Division, at the Battle of the Bulge Monument, that reads: “May this eagle always symbolize the sacrifices and heroism of the 101st Airborne Division and all its attached units. December 1944 – January 1945. The City and the Citizens of Bastogne.” The 80th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge is commemorated this December 2024.

The USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. The 184-foot-long marble Memorial sits atop the submerged remains of the battleship that sank with more than 1,000 crew members aboard.

This structure near Calais, France was part of the Nazi’s Atlantic Wall built between 1942 and 1944. The U.S. forces deceived the Germans into believing that the Allied invasion would take place in Calais, rather than in Normandy.

From January 27, 1943, until April 1945 over 27,000 U.S. Airmen, most in their early 20s, lost their lives bombing Germany. Sighting the White Cliffs of Dover after a completed mission meant that they safely returned.

This Sherman M4A3 tank located in Bastogne, in southern Belgium, was knocked out of action on December 30, 1944.

The December 44 Memorial Museum is located in La Gleize, Belgium, in the heart of the northern part of the Belgian Ardennes. The museum is dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Offensive.

Cemetery at Omaha Beach, Normandy, covering 172.5 acres, holds the graves of 9,387 Americans who died during the landings on D-Day and in subsequent military operations.

CHARTEREDCLUBS

Artists of all levels and lovers of art are welcome to join. Dues are $15. We offer beginner and advanced classes in oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting, drawing, colored pencil and various mixed media. Each year we hold a juried Fine Art Show, featuring the works of our members and instructors, and offering for sale original pieces and hand painted cards. Last month’s show was a great success. We look forward to another great show in 2025. We present lectures and demonstrations during general meeting held the 3rd Monday each month in DV Room 1. December meeting will be pre-empted for a holiday party on December 2. Our next general meeting will be held on January 20 at 1 p.m. We host “paint & sip” parties, next one likely in early spring. For more information contact Steve Brenner at 749-7737. Check out our website at suncityartclub.org.

Arthritis

Do those painful joints keep you from exercising? We have a solution. Slip into your swimsuit and join us in the pool for soothing exercises that get those joints limbered up. These exercises safely move every part of the body. Stretching, range of motion, flexibility and balance improve health and wellness. This low-impact pool exercise Club meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:30-11:30 a.m., Desert Vista indoor pool. Check with your doctor to ensure you are fit enough for the class. Annual dues are $15.

Basketball

Please join us and help make basketball a community exercise option for everyone. Currently, our basket is at Desert Vista on a pickleball court. The court's hard surface, availability, and dimensions are extremely challenging. We’ve asked for the basket to be relocated to a knee-friendly surface at the end of a tennis court or a new court built over an existing underutilized outside area. The court is reserved for shooting on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 pm and Tuesdays & Thursdays evenings from 5-8 p.m. We currently play half-court games twice a week at a local gym. Please contact Jim Mathews (503) 894-3040 or Al Bonardi (631) 398-1891 for additional details.

Formal workshops are held to make crafts that members can take home to enjoy, or place in the club’s boutique, where craft items are for sale to the public. On days when there isn’t a project scheduled, members gather to work on their own projects in a social setting. On any given day, there may be people crocheting, working in watercolor, making cards, knitting, coloring and painting. An added bonus is the help that members give each other – there is always someone who can help with a technique or suggest an improvement.
