Cheers is a social club open to members from Sun Lakes, Springfield, SunBird, and Solera communities. Our current 186 members invite you to become a part of the Cheers family, whether you are a year-round or a seasonal resident. The club offers many activities and programs, including social time, wine tasting, dining out, book club, games, golfing, and group travel opportunities.
With your $20 annual dues you will be provided access to the members-only website and calendar of activities. The Cheers weekly social meets on Thursday at Sun Lakes Oakwood Country Club from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The meeting is a forum for meeting new friends, visiting with current ones, and sharing club announcements and upcoming activities. Visitors and potential new members are welcome, without obligation to join. Weekly meetings are followed with opportunity for group dining at a local restaurant.
Below are some of our group activities:
Golf: We had a great year of golf, and it was especially exciting for the past few weeks of play. We averaged more than 10 players most weeks. Leanne Weber and Chris Harrington had birdies two weeks in a row, and Stan Fark and Sandi Steker scored birdies as well.
We have finished golf for the summer due to the heat and folks traveling. We will resume in September. In the meantime, feel free to contact Keith Mackenzie if interested in being on the emails for golf. Keith can be reached at [email protected]. This is a Cheers members-only activity.
Cheers Birthday Celebration: We celebrate members’ birthdays quarterly with dinner, a cash bar, entertainment, and a raffle for prizes. The next celebration of July through December birthdays will be in October at the Cottonwood clubhouse. To facilitate clubhouse reservations, advance registration with a $20 fee is preferred. Admission at the door will be $25. All Cheers members are welcome to participate, not just those celebrating a birthday.
Hand and Foot: Members gather at Oakwood Poolside for Hand and Foot card game every Tuesday at 6 p.m. To better coordinate game tables of four, it is appreciated if you would RSVP attendance to MaryAnn Fazio at 480-277-5699.
