A Message from Troon Golf!

To all Sun City Anthem residents:

Due to the number of resident carts and the changes in ownership, we will be requiring all residents with their own cart to re-register their cart with golf shop. This will require that the resident fill out the new resident cart registration form and provide a copy of the insurance policy that carries the liability insurance for the golf cart being used (the specific description of the golf cart will need to be visible on the policy!) This will need to be done by April 30th, 2006. If not done by this date, the resident will not be allowed to use their cart, and will be required to use a cart provided by The Revere Golf Club.

The golf shop staff will provide the forms starting March 16, 2006. We will start accepting applications on March 27, 2006. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an e-mail.

Thank you for your cooperation.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to the legal requirements of correcting a problem caused by our mail house in the Board of Directors election ballot mailings, which resulted in the owners of multiple homes receiving only one ballot instead of the greater number to which they were entitled, the Association is making the following changes in our election process:

The deadline for receipt of ballots is extended by two days, to Tuesday, May 2, at 10:00 p.m. All eligible ballots received by that date and time will be counted.

The process to count the ballots will begin in the Anthem Center Delaware Room at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 3. In accordance with statute, this process is open to the public.

A letter is being sent to all homeowners to explain the change of dates. You should receive this letter within the next day or two.

The date for a special meeting of the Board of Directors to announce the results of the election remains unchanged. This special meeting will occur in the Delaware Room on Thursday, May 4, at 1:30 p.m.
