WELCOME TO SUN CITY!
Sun City is a retirement community with many unique features. One feature is that Sun City is an unincorporated community surrounded by incorporated municipalities. We are a county island, i.e. there is no local “city” government. The success of Sun City as an unincorporated community is the result of volunteer organizations performing needed community services and interacting with State and County Governments on behalf of the residents.

The Sun City Taxpayers Association is one of these fine organizations. The Sun City Taxpayers Association acts on behalf of the community and surrounding area in matters affecting utility rates, taxes and legislation. A sister organization; the Sun City Taxpayers Association/Community Action Network provides assistance to disabled persons and low income seniors in meeting their basic needs and maintaining an independent life style. We are supported by membership dues and private donations. Membership in the Sun City Taxpayers Association is voluntary with annual dues of $10.00 per person, per year. There is no membership in the Sun City Taxpayers Association/Community Action Network. This is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization and supported by donations only.

NEWS FOR FALL 2009
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FOR 2010 AND DIRECTORS ELECTION

November is membership renewal time for 2010. Members will be receiving the membership renewal notices starting in November. Included in the mailing, are ballots for our Annual Board of Directors election. The deadline for balloting is December 6, 2009. Make sure you mail your renewal notice and your ballots by December 6, 2009.

We are not raising our membership fee!
This would go directly against our very strong mission statement to help protect the pocketbooks of all the citizens of Sun City. Our goal is to double the number of members and increase donations. This will be a big challenge, in light of the current economy, but our purpose is to respond to the challenge.

Sun City does not have a local government, there is no City Council, City Manager or Mayor to question Utility Rate increases, County and State Tax increases or Fire District Tax increases. The Sun City Taxpayers Association assumes these responsibilities. It must be remembered that we operate on funds received for each year, and therefore, we could become extinct within one year. All that has to happen is for enough members to decide not to participate “this” year. SCTA exists solely on your membership fees and donations.

So, how do we continue without raising membership fees? Two ways:
1. Increasing the number of members, and
2. Appealing to those who are financially capable to donate.

It sounds so simple: all we have to do is “MAKE IT HAPPEN”. At the Sun City Taxpayers Association we are again asking you to help us “MAKE IT HAPPEN”.
