MOST RECENT FIRST
4/04/19: HB2374 IS NOT DEAD! SNEAKED UP AS SB1094!! Late 3/25/19 this bill number showed up on the Agenda for
the House Government Committee with hundreds of FOR votes when the bill wasn't even seen by anyone. We suspect someone
signed up people without their knowledge. By voting "FOR", the voter is saying he wants CLOSED MEETINGS AND CLOSED RECORDS at RCSC.
See if your name or that of anyone you know is on the list. Call us if you did not want to have your name used like this. Call Anne Stewart at
602-318-0708 or email at anne@annereport.com. If SB1094 passes,
these people's names will go down in infamy. They are personally responsible for the total loss of membership power
in Sun City.

3/23/19: HB2374 IS DEAD! Thank you, Senator David Farnsworth for not allowing this bill to be heard in the Senate Government Committee,
which killed the bill. It's a win-win
for those FOR and AGAINST. Those who were FOR wanted Sun City to remain a 55+ community. Those who were AGAINST
wanted open meetings and open records. Since the planned communities act will not remove the age overlay, remaining
in it will have no negative effect in that regard. Therefore, RCSC will remain in the PCA as it has always been since
the act began in 1994. RCSC just didn't comply is all. Until our lawsuit. 3/4/19: STOP HB2374!!! CALL
TO ACTION! The Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc., (RCSC) got Representative Kevin Payne (District
21) to pull them out of the planned communities act!! The bill has moved to the Senate Government Committee. We expect
dirty tricks like at the House where they changed the time so we couldn't speak. See testimony from that hearing where they
read off our names to speak but not one of us is there. Then, go to Jan Ek's testimony and the lobbyist saving her when
she couldn't answer the question why Judge Brodman is wrong when he ruled RCSC is under the PCA. Click here for the 2/7/19
Part 2 hearing video. We need you to write to the ALL
of the Senators. In subject line write: VOTE NO ON HB2374! Keep Sun City under the PCA!!! Call and email Senate
Members [ https://www.azleg.gov/MemberRoster/?body=S ] to say NO!! Ask the Republicans why they are against the Planned Communities Act with its open workshop
meetings and open records. Are they for the ending the PCA altogether? For those of you who want to upload the Senate Members onto your email server for mass

1/20/19: STOP HB2374!!! CALL
TO ACTION! The Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc., (RCSC) got
Representative Kevin Payne (District 21) to pull them out of the planned communities act!! Call and email to say NO!! Representative Kevin Payne (District 21), kpayne@azleg.gov,
(602) 926-4854 SUMMARY:
HB2374 removes RCSC from the planned communities act. Plaintiffs won in Court. The Judge found RCSC is held to
the planned communuties act. Open meetings! Open records!
Representative Kevin Payne, District 21 (Sun City, A COMPANY
TOWN!), is Prime sponsor for the bill. This bill is not good for Sun City homeowners.
The planned communities act protects homeowners from bad boards of RCSC. The RCSC boards will not be held accountable
if HB2374 is passed. It is unfair.
Our lawsuit is in discovery on many other counts, as well, and we have a court date set
during the summer.
RCSC
is trying to pull a fast one on the RCSC Members! PLEASE HELP US DEFEAT THIS OUTRAGEOUS BILL THAT TRIES TO DEFEAT OUR
LAWSUIT. VOTE NO ON HB2374!
2/28/17: A group of us caravaned down to the House of Representatives to give testimony in opposition
to SB1175, transfer fees. Defendant RCSC made Senator Debbie Lesko sponsor a bill that would "clarify" the
law so that they could alter the outcome of one of our causes of action about the $3,500-PIF in our pending class action lawsuit.
The bill is retroactive to 2010! SB1175 PASSED THE
SENATE UNANIMOUSLY WITHOUT DEBATE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND DIDN'T SHOW UP TO OPPOSE.  When we found out, we started emailing and calling both the Senate and the
House to tell them about what was behind the bill. And when it was assigned to the House Commerce Committee, we all
drove down there to give testimony. We made some headway. One "NO" vote from a representative who is an attorney
who thought changing laws during a lawsuit was a problem, one "PRESENT" who might vote "NO" on the floor.
Others voted "DO PASS", though they said they might vote "NO" on the floor. So, SB1175 is being
sent to the RULES committee. We must write the RULES committee and OPPOSE SB1175. Our emailing list will get the
info. For those who want to watch the fireworks, click on
the following link: "HOUSE COMMERCE COMMITTEE VIDEO 2/28/17 2PM" Keep calling the House
of Representatives, especially the Rules committee. We will object to this bill all the way to the Governor. You eat
an elephant one bite at a time. 12/6/13: "As a matter of law, PORA does not have the power to enforce fines against homeowners

1/26/13: The RCSC failed to answer our attorney
Nancy Mangone's August 22, 2012, letter! LAWSUIT IS NOW REQUIRED! Attorney Mangone sent a follow-up letter on January
24, 2013, which confirms that RCSC's continuing non-compliance with Arizona revised statutes and its own community documents
in intolerable and must be brought before a court. Fundraising is now underway. Please donate. (donations are
not tax deductible). WE NEED FUNDING TO PROCEED. Hard copies of letters
and flyers are available at The Send Me Store, Talisman and Del Webb. Please use them to spread the word. Or,

1/10/13: On January 10, 2013, Anne Randall Stewart received a letter from the new RCSC President
James Brasher threatening and intimidating her. (And the beat goes on...) We suspect this to be another frame-up job. They framed her twice before with false charges and said
if there was a third time it would mean permanent expulsion. Anne
Randall Stewart has obeyed every rule the board has thrown at the members even if they are illegal rules. Permanent
expulsion might mean she could not bring a lawsuit against the RCSC because she is not a member in good standing. It
would not behoove her to disobey the rules and forfeit her "member in good standing" status. The letter accused her of circulating flyers on car windshields at the RCSC parking
lots. Friends of the Registry have been instructed to obey the rules (BP #11 and #14). The Registry members circulate
person-to-person, friend-to-friend. Even though we believe BP #11 AND #14 go against the articles of incorporation because
they thwart "the action of the Members", until we go to court to challenge them, we must abide by the rules. The person(s) guilty of this "crime" is either ignorant of the rules or is
trying to get Anne Randall Stewart into "trouble". By the way, there was no flyer enclosed with the RCSC letter even though the body of letter said
there was.

12/18/12: The RCSC is sneaking a $6-million project through without a membership vote. There wasn't 10 days
notice. Article X of the Articles of Incorporation mandates a membership vote for any "indebtedness or liability,
direct or contingent, over $750,000". It's a North Golf Course reconstruction project with $2 million just
for the irrigation system alone. $6 million for a golf operation that has drainage ditches instead of golf course water
features of Del Webb quality. Remember the silk purse and sow's ear saying? Read The Daily News-Sun account from yesterday: http://www.yourwestvalley.com/suncity/article_42251cb2-4866-11e2-b713-001a4bcf887a.html Here are all the motions for Thursday's board meeting including
the $6 million golf course project and BP17 that kills the orchestra, bands and dance clubs: http://sunaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Regular-Board-Meeting-Agenda-with-7-motions-12-20-12.pdf Attend and Protest: RCSC Board meeting

12/17/12: Protest the demise of the Sun City Orchestra and other bands as well as the dance clubs. Attend the RCSC Board
Meeting at Sundial Auditorium, Thursday, December 20, 9 a.m. One opinion expressed recently claimed the musicians would
pay the RCSC to perform because of their huge "egos". This kind of thinking should not be the norm. It
will ruin our sense of community. Click on this link to see how music can bring a community together! Watch the
faces of an audience of all ages. This could happen here. ---Anne Anne Randall Stewart

REMINDER: Donations to "Anne Stewart" with
a "Legal Fund" notation are welcomed but are not tax deductible. Thank you. 12/12/12: The members showed up to protest the demise of the bands and dance clubs but the board wouldn't
listen. We can hold another protest on Dec. 20, 9 a.m., Sundial Auditorium. The crux of the problem: "Guest must pay to use the facilities." That principle is ruining Sun City.
That principle eliminates the participation of the members with not enough money to pay extra to enjoy the facilities
with their family and friends in order to show them around to entice them to move here. There is no need to charge members
more. The facilities are already paid for a year in advance by the annual assessments. Charging fees only allows
the elites to use the facilities while they gouge the poor to foot the bill for them. The facilities are for the enjoyment of all. They create a sense of community and were originally established
as a marketing tool. The solution to the problem is to eliminate all guest fees. Try it and see how enjoyment
will flourish and the members will be happier. Click here to read the account of the meeting in the 12/11/12 Daily News-Sun Article, Front Page, "Sun City residents
bash compromise."
10/3/12: On September 27, 2012, Noel Kasper delivered a letter to the RCSC at a board meeting
requesting a petition to bring to a membership ballot vote the issue of saving the Quarterly Membership meetings and the bi-monthly
Director/Member Exchange meetings. Here is the RCSC response by President Vance Coleman. In his letter dated Oct.
1, 2012, Coleman admits that the board voted for "Motion #1" at the last board meeting despite our petition request.
("Motion #1" removed one of two bi-monthly Director/Member Exchange meetings.) With our membership action
to bring the issue to a membership vote, the board did not act in the membership interest when it refused to table the motion
until the outcome of the petition drive.
Stay tuned...

9/13/12: The RCSC
ignored our attorney letter. We must get financing to bring our case to court. You can help by circulating
flyers and copies of attorney Nancy Mangone's letter to the RCSC's statutory agent, James Hienton, Esq., regarding RCSC's
non-compliance with Arizona revised statutes and its own community documents. Hard

3/21/11:
In response to our criticism that the RCSC has not convened the Legal
Committee and, in closed session, created bylaws and board policies that negatively impact the members, i.e., 100% assessment
increases, membership meeting quorum increases to 1250, etc., THEY HAVE OFFICIALLY CLOSED THE LEGAL COMMITTEE!!!
Instead, they are establishing the new GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE!
They are going
to monitor the bills down at the Arizona legislature so that they can continue to NOT OBEY THE PLANNED COMMUNITIES
ACT REGULATIONS while they get the "common area" property tax breaks that are given to planned communities.
THEY WANT IT BOTH WAYS!
They don't want open meetings,
open records, and a recall with a thousands signatures, etc.
Contact the board and tell them you
are against this change. "KEEP THE LEGAL COMMITTEE!" "Start discussing
changes to the bylaws and board policies in open meetings!"
The RCSC Board of
directors are strangling the members'. They are totally emasculating the members. They now have given themselves the ability
to charge the members whatever they want WITHOUT LIMIT and the MEMBERS CANNOT STOP
THEM.
The board is voting to accomplish these bylaws changes at the next board
meeting.
RCSC BOARD MEETING Sundial Auditorium Thursday, March 31, 2011 9
a.m.
The RCSC is NOT YOUR FRIEND. They are after your money for the corporation and outrageous
spending without approval of the members. WAKE UP!!!
The Sun City Formula Registry --- We let you
know when the board does something that is detrimental to your interests, but it's up to you to do something about it: "The
Action of the Members shall prevail." 3/17/11: HEADS UP! SAVE THE
REC CENTERS!
At the RCSC Long Range Planning meeting, to obfuscate the facts and to "calm down the members," it was
decided not to target Oakmont by "name," but to open up the discussion to INCLUDE ALL OF THE REC CENTERS for the
"chopping block" discussion. March 25, 9 a.m., all day, the managers will be guiding the committee through
ALL of the centers to determine "usage" for possible closure. BUT THERE'S WAY MORE TO THE STORY! Read
The Anne Report below! It's too much information to include in the newspapers' "Letters" page. SCFR WANTS OUTLAWED FROM "DISCUSSION" THE REMOVAL OF REC CENTERS AND MONUMENTS! FOREVER!
PHOTO: Google Earth of Oakmont Rec Center and surrounding
homes. (See the blue water of the only salt water swimming pool in Sun City! Oakmont allows homeowners to avoid crossing Grand
Ave to get to Lakeview! Oakmont is the FIRST DEL WEBB REC CENTER! HISTORIC! The Sun City Museum is right next door!)

3/14/11 HEADS UP! SAVE OAKMONT!
Next Long Range Planning meeting:
TOMORROW!
Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Lakeview Board Room
Lakeview Rec Center SECOND FLOOR
Del Webb & Thunderbird
9 a.m.
Good time to talk to the committee
members to tell them why you want the Oakmont Rec Center to remain.
Del Webb erected rec centers and golf courses
first and then built the surrounding homes. The rec centers and golf courses enhance the property values of the surrounding
homes.
You don't want to lose the rec center or the golf course near yours. But, you have to speak up or someone
will close it down to "save money".
If you can't attend, communicate with your RCSC board members. Get
