Sun City Festival Community Association
Neighborhood Watch’s primary focus is observation. Currently 34 residents volunteer as Block Captains. In
this capacity, they meet regularly with officials of the Buckeye Police Department
to gain current crime statistical data and tips to keep one’s home safe and secure.
The Block Captains then hold regular meetings with the homeowners in their
individual neighborhoods to pass on the information. The Block Captains will
also keep an eye on absentee homeowner residences and maintain vigilance in
observing the goings on in their areas.
Another project to be undertaken in early August is the periodic cleaning of the rock face of our entry waterfall.
A process called “glass beading” will be applied to the rock to remove the whitish discoloration which
gradually attaches to the rock due to the minerals in our water. For the short period of time this work is being
accomplished, the waterfall will not be operational. Once the cleaning is finished, the waterfall will once again
provide a dramatic welcome to our community.

August 2010 SUN CITY FESTIVAL BY DEL WEBB
At the quarterly Chat With the Board in late June, representatives of Del Webb announced that a permanent
Wood Shop and Crafts Studio was approved for construction in the near future. This decision is a result of the
considerable growth in arts and crafts based chartered clubs in the community. The facility will be located adja-
cent to the Del E. Webb Memorial Softball Field off Desert Oasis Boulevard and Irma Lane.
The Wood Shop and Crafts Studio will consist of more than 8,700 square feet of space and will house a dedi-
cated Wood Shop, in addition to rooms for both Glass Arts and Ceramics and Pottery. Chartered club officers
have already provided valuable input relating to room layout and equipment needs. Tom Bobak, President of
the Woodcrafters Chartered Club, said “The Woodcrafters Board, membership, and Sun City Festival are looking
forward to the use of the facility and the continued growth of the community.”
Currently the Wood Shop and Crafts Studio is in the design phase, with final plans, reporting and permitting still
to come before construction can begin. We will publicize additional information related to this exciting project,
including the construction schedule and anticipated opening date, as soon as they become available.
