Sun City Anthem Community Association, Inc.
Change in Management

Effective Monday, March 19, 2007, Arnie Snow will leave Sun City Anthem to assume his new role as Vice President of RMI. Terry DaSilva has been appointed Community Association Manager to replace Arnie. 

All of us will miss Arnie’s can do/will do attitude, his energy and never ending smile. We wish him Godspeed.  

I have had the pleasure of working with Terry 7+ of the 8+ years she has been at SCACAI. She has worked hard to achieve her goal and I congratulate both Terry and Arnie on their promotions and success.

Caren Carrero returns to SCACAI as the CAM assistant. Many of you will recall that she was the Activities Director before Greg.

Tune into Channel 99 for complete details.

President, Sun City Anthem Community Association, Inc.
