COMMUNITY MANAGER’S REPORT

By Cathy Meek

Spring is in the air and this is a perfect time of year to enjoy the outside before our temperatures soar into the

triple digits! Plants are recovering from the winter hibernation, coming back to life and we are starting to see

blooms everywhere. Enjoy this time of year before the temperatures soar into the triple digits.

Very soon we will be welcoming in a full Board of Directors and resuming the projects within the association

and I have no doubt they will be ready to keep Sunflower moving forward and functioning for all.

Now is the time to make sure your yard is free of weeds, shrubs trimmed so they are not encroaching on any

sidewalks and see if your home needs to be repainted including the fascia which is the wood trim underneath

the roofline.

This time of year also brings on projects that you may consider at your home. Please remember that if you are

changing anything to the outside of your home (examples: adding a patio, wall, fence, painting your home,

landscape) you do need to submit an ARC form that will need to be approved by the ARC Committee.

All homeowners should have received their semiannual assessment either by mail or email. This is due April

1st and it is late on the 30th. If you did not receive it for any reason please contact management. If you drop

your payment off at the center please make sure it is a personal check (no money orders or cashier checks) and

that there is a phone number on the check and your account number.

SUNFLOWERLIVING WEBSITE

A place for posting upcoming club and group events

has now been added to the Announcements page on

the Sunflowerliving website (What’s New>

Announcements). Clubs and groups are encouraged

to send their information to

webteam@sunflowerliving.com to be posted on that

page.

ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW COMMITTEE

By Jim Conley, Co-Chairman

The first ARC meeting of March the committee

reviewed ten (10) applications. We are pleased to say

all of them were approved. They ranged from walls

and gates to patio additions to house painting. The

reason they all went smoothly is they had good

supportive material. No guessing was necessary.

Thank you on behalf of the committee.

Some concerns usually happen to arise at this time of

the year. Weeds are now in full growth and need to be

removed. Bushes are growing rapidly and some

extend over sidewalks. These need to be trimmed

back.

Remember property inspections are year round

and weed growth is written up more than any other

infraction. Another concern we hear about is front

and patio lighting that uses high intensity bulbs.

Please use warm lighting bulbs. Your neighbors will

appreciate it.

ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE GAME NIGHT

By Activities Committee

On March 7th, we had our first Game Night

sponsored by your recently reorganized Activities

Committee. As the night went on, it was obvious

everyone was having a great time, meeting new

people and playing fun games like Yahtzee, Tile

Rummy, Farkle, and 42 dominoes. If you like to play

games and cards, come join us for Game Night. The

next date will be determined at our monthly meeting

so stay tuned to the Sun Catcher for the date and

time!

WELCOMING COMMITTEE

By Lynn Haye

Are you a new homeowner in Sunflower? The

Welcoming Committee would love to meet you and

provide you with a helpful information packet that

includes maps, coupons, activity/club information,

etc, in your new community! Please contact Liz Perry

at Elizann228@gmail.com or Lynn Haye at 520-

6741, to help get you connected.

HIGHLIGHTING AN EMPLOYEE

Each month we will be highlighting an employee at

Sunflower. The following is what Heidi Butt had to

say.

I’m Heidi and I’ve been at Sunflower for six months.

I really enjoy my work and getting to meet and get

know residents. Here’s a little about me. I spent my

early years in a very small town in south central

Pennsylvania and went to kindergarten and first grade

there. Then we moved to State College where I went

to 2nd and 3rd grade. It was back to the mountain to

live in the cabin in the woods for 4th and 5th grades

and then on to Shippensburg, PA for 6th through 8th.

Finally, a move to Albuquerque, NM allowed me to

finish 9th through 12th grades. My daughter,

Haleigh, was born in Albuquerque but we moved to

Oklahoma City before she was one to join my mom

who was doing a post doc there. Then it was on to

Fayetteville, AR for two years. I met my British

husband, Rich, on AOL, in a chat room, and we’ve

been married for 22 years (online romances DO

work!). Haleigh and I went to England for a visit and

ended up staying for 18 years. My husband and I

raised four children – at one point we had four kids 4

and under! After the three older kids grew up and

moved out, we decided to move to Arizona to be

close to my family. We sold everything we owned

except for our 1968 Camaro and our 4 black cats.

We’ve been here for four years and are lucky to have

a pool for the very HOT Arizona summers – quite a

difference from the rain and dampness of England.

Our youngest son Jacob (21 years old) who has

severe autism, moved here with us. In my spare time,

I enjoy working on the Camaro and going to car

shows. I sometimes drive the Camaro to work now

and then, so keep an eye open for her. She is called

Lola!!!!!! Look forward to seeing you all around

Sunflower ;)

ARTISTS GALLERY

By Lori Chase

Our featured artist for the month of April is Ken

Easton. This is his sixth "gallery" year.

Ken and his wife Shirley have been Sunflower

residents since 2001.

In addition to being a professional musician for 60-

plus years--performer, composer, arranger, producer,

and studio musician in Hollywood--he also enjoys the

challenges of creating art in his "colorist" style.

Ken employs colored pens and pencils on paper. His

expressive styles are influenced by Marcia Baldwin,

Terrance Guardipee, Johnathon Harris, and Charles

Wysocki.

Each piece is priced at $100, including frame and

glass. The Eastons donate all monies to charity. As a

cancer survivor, Ken has committed 50 percent of any

sales to the American Cancer Society. The remaining

50 percent will be donated to the Marana Community

Food Bank. To date, nearly $6000 has been donated

to these wonderful charities.

Our artists for the month of May are the resident

students of Sharon Fannin. They are students with an

interest in art but needed a little push. Maybe it was

the wine (if they brought it)? The class was called

“Painting Uncorked.” We looked forward to seeing

their acrylic paintings.

The community was in AWE over the baskets that

were on display. Thank you, Weaving Wizards for

another beautiful presentation of your baskets. We all

look forward to your next show.

We still need resident artists for the months of July,

August, and September.

CRAZY RHYTHM

By Allen Fannin

When: Friday, April 24th

Time: 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Marana Food Bank and there is a basket to drop the

food in at the Village Center? Also, check donations

can be left at the front desk for the Marana Food

Bank. Sunflower residents are very giving: let’s

continue to be in the giving spirit to help those in

need with adding to this ongoing Food Drive.

SUNFLOWER HEALTH FAIR

By Pam Liddil

The 2020 Sunflower Health Fair was held February

15, 2020 at the Sunflower Village Center. We had a

record breaking 30 vendors, beautiful weather, and

many Sunflower residents came to meet with the

vendors and learn new information. There are lots of

businesses that our residents do not know are

available to help them, no matter what your situation

is now or in the future.

For a day in February, the weather could not have

been more delightful and was certainly conducive to

sitting outside and enjoying the food cooked for us by

The Station. The Northwest Fire Department again

provided their trucks, ambulance, and their

employees.

We had vendors that can help with your computer

issues, legal matters, care issues, and Walgreens was

there again giving

away all kinds of free

items to our residents.

The Fair was very

well attended and a

great success!

Thank you,

Sunflower residents for coming out and participating.

BOCCE

By Ed Alsobrooks

We have had great numbers of players every Tuesday

and Thursday during February and March. We’ve

averaged around 27 players for each session and had

a high of 30. That is fantastic! With that said, we

know that it’s that time of year again when our

snowbird members start to think of returning to their

summer abodes. We’re sorry to see you leave but

wish you good times and safe travels. We’ll keep the

light on for you.

The “Celebration of Bocce” party held on Fat

Tuesday in the Fiesta Room was a huge success. We

had more than 60 people in attendance, plenty of

food, fun, and socializing. It was great to see so many

people wearing their medals, both past and present. It

was a great reflection of the many years of great

Bocce here at Sunflower.

If you’re new to Sunflower or you’ve wonder about

the game of bocce, come on out and see us. We play

on Tuesday and Thursday at 1:00 p.m. We’d love to

meet you. We’ll teach you the game in one session

and introduce you to some fun and friendly folks

from your neighborhood.

If, at any time, you have questions about bocce or the

Sunflower Bocce Club, contact either Marty Rice 579

-6451 or Ed Alsobrooks 638-5703.

-hand Cribbage on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in

the Craft Room at the Village Center.

BOWLING NEWS

With the bowling

banquet behind us,

we get down to the serious business of bowling (not);

well, we are here to have fun too!

This past month we’ve had some folks step up to the

line and bring in some real improvements to their

game:

Shirley Bailey had a high game of 147, Keith Leikel

high game of 234, Evie Burton a high game of 159

for a series 456. Toni Klimp bowled a 175; a

whopping 52 pins over average. Dan Primuth a high

game of 194 for high series of 507. Floyanne Blouin

bowled three great games for a high series of 438.

Judy Lucky high game of 156 for high series of 411.

Roger Steen high game of 167 for high series of 448.

Linda Ottley brought her high series up to 549;

Bonnie Scott high game of 212 for a high series of

565. Larry Wold high series of 569, and Bob

Sergisson has surged to a 709 series.

By the time this edition comes out, we will have had

our semi-annual pizza party at Barro’s. It’s always a

big hit after intense competition (not) as we have

worked up an appetite. As usual, we thank our

committee of Janet and Bob Sergisson for putting this

together.

Bowling takes place on Friday afternoons at Fiesta

Lanes. Please come by 12:30 p.m. for a 12:45 p.m.

Hey neighbors! Come join a fun, entertaining and

mind challenging group to play bridge. I know some

Indeed, our Monday evening group takes a fun

sometimes frustrating, but always fun game. We play

every Monday evening at 6:30 p.m. at different

Sunflower residents’ homes. If you want more

Good luck to all who participate.

www.golfgenius.com/ggid/65tm56. If you would like

to join us as a guest, please contact a member or

myself.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with our club,

we play twice a week (Monday & Thursday) at

various golf courses in the area (all the way from

Benson on the east to Tubac on the south to Casa

Grande on the north). If you enjoy the game and are

looking to make some great friends, come join us. I

can be contacted at dsanderson128@gmail.com or

(520) 241-7676.

MEN’S 9 HOLE

By Dale Tabor

The Men’s Nine Hole Golf Group welcomes our

Sunflower Community to fun golf. We hope you will

challenge yourself to the game and enjoy playing the

beautiful golf course that is your neighbor “The

Quarry Pines” located just 10 minutes from

Sunflower.

Yes, we all want to play the game well: however, we

are a fun group and that’s what we feel golf is about.

So, take a couple of hours out of your busy schedule

on Wednesdays and join us! Should you have family

or friends in town, put their names on the sign-up

sheet and they are welcome to play.

The sign-up book is on the table near the Fitness

Center. The number of people signed up will be

called into the Pines by noon Monday for the golf cart

reservations.

Spring-summer we play the back nine 7:30 a.m.

Fall-winter the front nine is played at 2:00 p.m. We

will be looking forward to seeing you at the “T” box.

If you have questions, call Dale Tabor at 520-579-

9904.

PICKELBALL CLUB

By Terri Lackey

The Pickleball Club put on their first Pickleball Clinic

on March 4th & 5th from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. We

had 32 participants during the two-day clinic. The

participants went through a series of four stations

which included serving, short -game, third shot drop,

and moving to the kitchen. Everyone had a great

time. We would like to thank the instructors: Tim,

Curt, Greg, and Billy for running such a successful

fun clinic.

The weather makes this a good time to give Pickleball

a try. For beginners interested in learning the game,

free lessons can be arranged by calling or texting

Billy Lackey at 520-870-9111. We have all the

equipment needed so you just provide a good pair of

athletic shoes and a bottle of water.

Social/Beginners play Tuesday, Thursday, and

Sunday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and

Wednesday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Competitive/Advanced play Monday, Tuesday,

Thursday, and Friday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to

10:30 a.m.

All levels play Saturday morning from 8:30 a.m. to

10:30 a.m.

The above hours are scheduled play times. The

courts are open every day with the available times

listed on the gate of court #3.

SUNFLOWER TENNIS CLUB

By Binki Thalman

Summer is on its way, so if you’d like to enjoy the

cooler weather before the heat gets here, please join us

for a round or two of fun tennis. We welcome all

residents who would like to play. If you haven’t played

in awhile and your skills are a bit rusty, you are

encouraged to come out for informal round robin play

at 8:30 a.m. If you prefer a more serious game, join us

for scheduled doubles.

We hope you didn’t try to watch the BNP Paribas Open

in Indian Wells as we suggested last month. It, like

many other well-attended sporting events, was

canceled. Guess we’ll have to watch reruns for awhile,

or play/watch on our own courts:-).

Here’s the Sunflower doubles schedule for April:

Mixed Doubles: 8:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday,

Friday, and Saturday.

Ladies Doubles: 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday.

Sunflower Scheduled Doubles—times will be in your

signup email.

To sign up for Scheduled Doubles, or tennis questions

in general, please contact Rich

Maust (kstransplants@comcast.net).

PINOCHLE

By Harlan Quinn

If you like to play single-deck pinochle, join us from

1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoons in the

Library. There is no cost and no reservations are

needed, just show up. We play partners and/or three-

handed pinochle depending on the number of players

present. For information, call one of the contacts listed

on the Contact List in this Sun Catcher.

PING PONG GROUP

By Buzz Hoffmann

We would love to have new players join us for ping

pong on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. and Sundays at 1:00

p.m. All playing levels, including beginners, are

welcome for a fun time of ego-free and often times

aerobic ping pong. We have known for years that

working crossword puzzles and listening to Mozart are

good for the brain. Ping pong (table tennis) may well

be the world’s best brain sport. Our playing times may

vary, so check the Fitness schedule in the Sun Catcher.

Please check Fitness Calendar for occasional time

changes.

TRIVIAL PURSUIT

By Vicki Keener

Players wanted. We will play the 2nd and 4th Sundays

of the month from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the

Library. We will form teams of two, three or four. The

purpose is to relax, have fun, meet new neighbors, and

exercise your brain. Come join us, please. No dues!

ACTIVITES & CLUBS

Barbara McCauley

520-812-7754 or Barbara McCauley 520-572-4310.

Come and join your friends for some creative

endeavors and conversation.

CRAFT CLUB

By Jeanne M Collins

The first three weeks in March we painted lanterns

using a faux stained glass process. Everyone selected a

different design to paint. It’s amazing when the paint

dries how much it resembles real stained glass. It was a

fun project and the finished lanterns were amazing!

This month we’ll color/paint on ceramic tiles to be

given to new homeowners in their Welcome bag. We

ended the craft season enjoying a wonderful lunch and

saying our good byes to our members leaving for their

summer destinations.

It’s been a fantastic craft season and we welcomed

many new members. I would like to thank everyone

for their ideas and help and the many laughs we shared.

The craft club meets from October to April.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun summer. I look

forward to seeing you in the fall.

LINE DANCE

BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE

By Karen Barta

Line Dance is on Fridays, except the 1st Friday of the

month. Beginning class from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00

a.m., Intermediate class from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00

p.m. This class will be a little faster pace with some

dancing experience needed. We will learn new

is not difficult and anyone can do it. The steps are

easy and it's a great exercise for both the mind and

body. Anyone is welcome to join in one or the other

class but please be advised that I can't slow down and

give extra attention in the advanced class. Hope to see

you there. Any questions please call Karen Barta at

586-292-6177.

SUNFLOWER GENEALOGY SOCIETY

By Arnold Mabile

"Cultural History in Genealogy" will be the topic

of the day when the Society gathers in the

Community Center's Fiesta Room at 2:00 p.m. on

Thursday, April 21st. I considered it my good fortune

to be the designated Speaker/Presenter for this

topic. It gave me a good reason to start "brushing up"

on long neglected history studies. We may find in the

course of this session that knowing the people on our

"trees" better is far more interesting when we

consider the times and areas in which they lived.

We will look at several different eras in American

and European history and identify events and people,

who may, in general, have influenced and

distinguished the activities of your ancestors in their

own times and cultures. What we learn from this may

put additional luster on lonely branches of the family

tree. Handouts identifying the books and periodicals

used in preparing for this discussion will be

provided at the meeting.

QUILT CLUB

By Pat Blazick-Peterson

Drunkard's Path is a traditional

historic pattern originally using

two colors: a light and dark solid

fabric. The creative quilters of

this century are now using light,

medium and dark fabrics with and

without patterns. The options in

arranging the blocks grows with new techniques,

fabric, and new creative quilters. This block was

taught in March.

Please stop by to join in the comradery, learning, and

just plain fun! Quilter's meet Thursday and Friday

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. weekly. Business meeting is

first Thursday of the month. Happy sewing and

quilting!

future events.

SUNBIRD CAMPERS CLUB

By Joe Yearous

The Sunbird Campers Club is an informal group of

people who share an interest in the RV/Camping

lifestyle and other activities that involve the outdoors-

whether you own a motor home, tent, travel trailer,

pickup camper, or fifth wheel trailer or have in the

past, or hope to in the future. It does not matter; you

are welcome to join us. Most members are residents

of the Sunflower Community, but others in our

immediate area are welcome.

We hold occasional organized business- type

meetings, but only on special announcement. Please

note, there will be no business meeting in April.

These meetings are usually held at a member’s home,

but may occasionally be held at a local café or “pub.”

Between October and May we try to plan a few trips

to an interesting event, a point (or points) of interest

or just to get out and enjoy life. In most cases, there

will be nearby motels/hotels for those members no

longer desiring or able to “rough it.” You may check

our website www.sunbirdcampers.org or contact me

at 520-444-2352 if you are interested.

SUNFLOWER READERS

By Anita Howard

The Readers’ Club is growing, and that means our

discussions about books just get more interesting. We

meet the second Tuesday of each month in the

Library at 7:00 p.m. For the month of April, we are

reading the The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the

Rules by Catherina Ingelman-Sundberg.

I think we all decided that during this tumultuous

time in the world, we could use a lighthearted book

that would make us laugh a little.

The Readers’ Club will continue to meet during the

summer. If you leave during the summer, you might

want to clip out this list and save it for your own

reading pleasure. If you are here for the summer, I

will continue to send reminders about the meetings.

Here is the list of books that we voted on.

May – Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom

by Catherine Clinton

June – The Giver of Stars by JoJo Moyes

July – The Soul of America by Jon Meacham

August – Zelda: a Biography by Nancy

Milford

September – The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi

Coates

SUNFLOWER COMMUNITY

VETERANS CLUB

By Richard Long

Even though the weather wasn’t warm and sunny, the

Annual Veterans Club winter cookout and fundraiser

was a wonderful success. Over 190 tickets were sold

and the resulting profit was slightly over $1,100. We

will be combining these funds with other gifts

recently received. So that some local agencies can

continue working with veterans in need in our

community. Donations will be going to the Marana

Chapter of Disabled American Veterans, VA

caregiver program, and Tucson Veterans Serving

Veterans. Thank you one and all.

Our April 1st speakers, and no this is not an April

fool’s joke, will be Border Patrol Agents Njahgemeya

(Najee) Ku Xi-Ra and Mark Garrish. They are the

community liaison agents assigned to US Border

Patrol-Tucson Station. While they have a variety of

educational programs to offer, they will be presenting

a power point presentation “Border Patrol 101” which

focuses on the overall mission, the latest technology/

infrastructure, current trends and broader border

issues. If you have an interest in border issues, you

are invited to be our guest. The meeting begins at

9:30 a.m. in the Fiesta Room.

Several Sunflower residents are regular volunteers at

the Southern Arizona Veterans Health Care Service

on 6th Avenue in Tucson. If you are looking for a

way to contribute to the veteran community, this may

be a great place to begin. In previous years, well over

10 million volunteer hours were logged nationally;

this alone contributed to the equivalent of almost

6,000 full time employee positions. There are a

variety of duties available and efforts are made to

match your skills with a need. Contact the Voluntary

Service center at 520-629-6988 to get more

information or get a volunteer application from Tom

Shambo.

SUNFLOWER PHOTO CLUB AND

WORKSHOP

By Pat Miller

Our monthly meetings (second Monday of each

month at 10:00 a.m. in the Fiesta Room) are a great

way to take your skills to another level. The members

share pictures, techniques and discuss their works.

Each month we have an “assignment” that is designed

to get the members out to search for the shots that

capture the task at hand. Members then choose and

bring their 3-best “recent” photos. The pictures taken

are shared, then an image is informally chosen from

the entries as the “best in show.”

The March assignment was wildflowers. With all the

winter’s rains, finding great flowers was not hard

work - getting them to “stand still” in the recent

winds was another tale!

Upcoming assignments:

April 13th - Bicycle memorials. Along roadsides are

memorials to riders who perished while biking. Find

a memorial, then capture it in its best light/context.

May 11th - unusual cacti

June 8th - “neon”

July 13th - American Holidays (Memorial Day, Flag

Day, Fourth of July)

For more information, please join us at our meeting

or email Pat. If you or someone you know would be

a willing speaker on a photography topic, please

contact Pat.

Club members

would also

appreciate

information about

local/regional

photographic

exhibits that are

running. Let me

know, too, so I may

share.

SUNFLOWER TRAVEL CLUB

By Frances Gauthier

Our Spring Membership Meeting will be on Tuesday,

April 7th at 5:00 p.m. We will have our semi-annual

meeting followed by a light meal. The last day to buy

your ticket is on Wednesday, April 1st from 1:00 p.m.

to 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $1.00. Please note that you

must sign up and get a ticket to attend. This is for

current members only. Remember to bring your

ticket if you have already signed up. We look

forward to seeing all of our members and getting

input for future trips.

For your information: Due to Governor Gavin

Newsom’s recent declaration of a State of Emergency

for California due to the spread of the Coronavirus,

the Sunflower Travel Club Board decided to “err with

caution” rather than “err with regret,” and canceled

the San Diego trip.

TECH CLUB

By Tim Walter

We will try to bring you something, somehow, this

month from the Tech Club. It may be an online class,

or a proper social distancing presentation on the

patio. I will work with our planned presenter, Karen

Rorke from Watermark who is our scheduled

presenter. So, watch for the updated e-mails from the

tech club, and we will adjust as the circumstances

dictate. Please help us with apps that are helping you

get through this time. If nothing else, we can do a

zoom presentation and all share the neat things we are

learning as we are limited in our normal way of life.

VINTAGE GARDENERS

By Shirley Bailey

Think Spring! The Vintage Gardener meeting is

Monday, April 13th at 12:30 p.m. in the Fiesta room.

We will have a project update from our committee

working on the patio pots. I will be asking for HELP

in getting our website up and running. I now know

the background mechanics to share. Hoping some of

you “techie” gardeners will dive in and take on the

task.

For the April meeting, we will have a short

presentation on Tower Gardening. One of our

members has graciously offered us a hands-on view

of its operation in her backyard as part of our Page 19

meeting. We will have an Heirloom Seed catalog,

and Iris plant catalog available at the meeting for

orders (and possibly offer an Iris presentation come

Fall).

Bring your thoughts and ideas. Starting this month,

you can submit your gardening questions to

sfvtgardens@gmail.com. We will see what answers

pop up from our group or are we stumped! Wear

your VG button, and enter the raffle to win a prize!

Survivors here at Sunflower. Whether you are newly

diagnosed, currently in treatment or are a long-time

survivor, we will welcome you.

We have been meeting for 11 years. We share our

fears, joys, sorrows, and triumphs. This group has

been here for each other and we support each other in

any way we can. We meet in the privacy of our

homes and have also been known to go out to lunch

and have some fun.

For more information about meetings or to ask

questions contact Betty Piotrowski 744-1776. Please

STRENGTH TRAINING

By Marlene Spencer

strength training not only improved bone density, but

also reduced falls and improved arthritis symptoms.

This low-impact program is appropriate for both

sedentary and active people. Hand weights and ankle

weights are required: 1 to 2 pounds for women or 2 to

3 pounds for men.
