History of the U.S. auto industry

THANK YOU SUN CITY ANTHEM COMMUNITY

Thank you to the Election Committee for all of your hard work in conducting an efficient and fair 2006 election for the SCA Board of Directors.

Thank you, too, to all of the candidates for spirited and competitive campaigns that clearly demonstrated the differences in the goals and vision for our SCA Community.

Finally, thank you to the residents for taking time to study the issues and voting for your choice of Board members to serve the residents of Sun City Anthem.

I consider it a privilege to work for the betterment of our community and I promise to do my best to uphold your confidence in electing me to the Board of Directors for the next two years.

Homes for Sale/Lease

I understand there are about 300 homes in Sun City Anthem that are for sale! Two appear on the Community Web site.

Residents may list their homes on the Community Web site for free! The whole world may view the particulars of your home for sale, including up to four images, or three images and the floor plan. The resident may provide a link to the real estate firm's web site for free!

When your home is listed, a sign is erected in front of your house. You can now have a sign that everyone with Internet access can see right on your Community Web site.
