The Sew n Sews seem far from just âso and sos,â and Darlene Hagner is no exception. She shares her talents with others not only by the quilts she makes and donates, but also by teaching classes and assisting members one on one. She is a familiar face at the clubâs workroom. Karen Semancik said, âI joined Sew n Sews and started signing up for classes. Members freely volunteer their time to teach other members various skills. My first class instructor was Darlene Hagner. I was so impressed with her willingness to spend however long it would take to have you learn a new technique. She is very generous with her time, encouraging, and patient. I’ve already learned a lot from her, and I’m looking forward to my next class. I feel that she practically lives at the club. She is always there.â

Thanksgiving is over, Christmas approaches, and itâs time to take a look at the communityâs finances for 2018 and look ahead to 2019. For the last several years, Sun City has operated on a âsteady as you goâ basis, with balanced budgets between revenue and expenses, and similar numbers on both sides of the ledger each year. The major news for 2019 is that the communityâs budget will require a $2 adjustment increase in monthly assessments per household, from $125 to $127. This comes after a $9 drop per household in 2018 that reflected some cost-cutting.

Pat Pogreba, a three-year Sun City resident, had such a happy moment on October 10.
