Topic: "A Strategic Approach to SCA Communication Needs”
Do You know what you need to know about Community Association Affairs?

This session will look at the information needs of our diverse community of over 10,000, and attempt to model an effective mix of communication tools—magazine, e-mail, Web sites, TV programming, newsletters, etc.

We will explore these issues together:

• What is happening?
• What is needed?
• What should we be doing?

Open to all Sun City Anthem residents

Clark County Residents

How often have you stopped what you were doing and answered the phone only to find is was a recorded message from this politician or that one that you were expected to listen to?

Your thoughts may range from "that's just the way it is." to wanting to reach through the phone lines and toss the offending computer into the depths of Lake Mead.

The thoughtful politicians exempted themselves from the National Do Not Call Registry. I wonder if the law exempted thoughtless computers.

If you would like to reduce these calls during future elections, send an e-mail message requesting to have your phone number removed from your voter record:

Your message should state your name, address and telephone number.
