Recycling Update - June

OCC (Old Corrugated Cardboard) is a fully recyclable material and is very popular for making boxes for shipping. It is comprised of corrugated fiber paper, sandwiched by sturdy sheets of cardboard. Recycled cardboard only takes 75 percent of the energy needed to make new and lessens the emission of sulfur dioxide that is produced when making pulp from wood trees. Recycling 1 ton of cardboard saves 9 cubic yards of landfill space and 46 gallons of oil. By recycling old cardboard, youll be conserving energy usage; reducing the production of greenhouse gases, conserving water use and reducing certain air pollutants. One ton of corrugated recycled saves 9 million BTUs of energy, 2872 lbs. CO2 equiv. in greenhouse gasses, 8904 gallons of wastewater and 1304 lbs. of solid waste. Some OCC is converted into viscose pulp which will be combined with other materials to create a variety of products, including plastics, rayon for clothing, and cigarette filters.

A Consumer Wellness Series Seminar

Volunteers Requested for Project Bridge

Project Bridge was conceived and founded by a very dedicated core group of Florence community volunteers, and Tonya Thompson was assigned to be the Director. Tonya is the District Social Worker at the Florence Unified School District (FUSD). Project Bridge exists to bridge the gap in times of family economic crisis, so that academic opportunity continues, unimpeded, for all children, despite environmental challenges. Project Bridge needs 5-10 volunteer helpers to organize and arrange clothing, shoes, food, personal items and toys which are located at the Project Bridge rooms at the FUSD old K-8 school in Florence. The volunteers may be men or women, and the work plan will be organized for 7-11 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting in June. If 7 AM is too early for volunteers, then 9 -11 AM is also acceptable. It will not be necessary for every person to volunteer for every day. An organizational meeting of interested volunteers will be held on Friday, June 15, at the Project Bridge location in Florence. Please contact Anthem resident Jim Tchida (cheeda) to volunteer or ask questions. Jim may be contacted by phone at 520-233-6428 or by e-mail at jimtchida@hotmail.com. Our sincere thanks to people willing to help Project Bridge!

As the days heat up, we start to see a shift in the Anthem Community. Our winter residents have left and the pools begin to see increasing amounts of activity. Summertime is a busy time at the Parkside Community Center. Weekends during the Big Splash Waterpark season can see nearly 800 people per day! It takes hard working and dedicated staff to keep everyone safe by informing and enforcing the rules. Wed like to remind all Sun City residents of some of the rules at the Parkside Community Center when you come to visit. The Parkside Community Center is an asset of the Anthem Parkside at Merrill Ranch Association. The Anthem Parkside community residents pay assessments to the Anthem Parkside association in order to enjoy the Parkside Community Center, Waterpark and the various other Parkside amenities. Similarly, the Sun City Anthem residents pay their association dues to the Sun City Anthem Community Association so they may enjoy the Sun City Anthem Union Center, pools, outdoor amenities, etc. Due to the fact that the Sun City Anthem association dues do not support the upkeep and maintenance of the Anthem Parkside amenities, a $3 usage fee is charged to those Sun City Anthem residents who wish to enjoy the Parkside Community Center, Waterpark and other Parkside amenities. If a Sun City resident wishes to bring Our Annual 4th of guests (friends, grandchildren, etc) with July Parade will be them to the Parkside Community Center, held in the morning a $3 per person guest fee applies and a and a picnic in guest form must be completed. Similar the afternoon is a to Sun Citys guest policy, all guests perfect way to end must be accompanied by the Parkside or the day. Join us in the ballroom for food, games, contests, Sun City resident that brought them in games and fun starting at 2:00pm and at all times while enjoying the amenities. lasting until you want to go home! If you have any questions regarding the guest policy or usage fee policy, please contact Trish Ledbetter, $8 pp if registered by June 27 Parkside Community manager at 520-723-6655 or pledbetter@aamaz.com. You may also review the guest policy $10 pp after June 27 online at www.oursuncityamr.net. schedule is almost finished and the printed course catalogs will go to press soon. Registration for the Fall semester will begin September 1, 2012 either on-site in the Union Center or by email or phone using the link on the Members Portal to connect with the catalog. In the meantime, the Summer Learning Website is active again. You can access free coursework from such learning sites as BBC Learning, The Annenberg Foundation, The Discovery Channel, and many more from the comfort of your home, RV, or any other accommodation in which you may choose to spend your summer. All you need is a computer and internet access. You can access the website at http://classjump. com/merrillranchlifelonglearning or click on the link located on the ASU page of the Members Portal.
