SPRING PROGRAMSAID CHARITYDRIVEEarly this year, a group of Sun Citians gathered

at Community Center and formed the Sun C i t yArizona Coordinators.

Their goal was to interest residents in a community-wide charity campaign.

They adopted a mott o. Others Our Interest ,and chose, i n i t i a l l y to aid the Valley of the SunSchool for Handicapped Children in Phoenix.

Moving sw i f t ly they held a meeting at TownH a l l and presented the campaign idea to clubpresidents and chairmen.

These officers gave the plan an enthusiastic reception and soon began formulating fund raisingprograms.

Separate bake sales were conducted by theRepublican Club and the Sun C i t y Hostesses.

A rummage and white elephant sale was held inthe Sun C i t y Shopping Center by community women, w i t h Edith Schaffer serving as chairman.

The Mens and Women's G o l f Associations com

binedtheir efforts w i t ha hole-in-one contest at bothcourses.

Some programs planned by the Coordinators,themselves, for the entire community were a St.Patrick' s Day Sing presented by the Phoenix Ka-china Chapter of the Sweet Adel ines, a barbershopjubilee, and Sun C i t y Chorus and Square DanceFestivals.I n A p r i l Community Center and Town H a l ljoined in presenting Sun City's most elaborateSpring Arts and Crafts Festival.

Each par ticipa ting group donated a portion ofsales p r o f i t to the campaign of g iv ing .

The program closed inmid-May, the funds werecounted, and the coordinators reported Sun C i t ywould contribute more than $1,800 to the Phoenixschool.
