Cheers is a social club open to members from Sun Lakes, Springfield, SunBird, and Solera communities. Our current 200 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.
We invite you to stop by the Cheers booth at the Sun Lakes Community Open Houses on Oct. 5 in Cottonwood and Oct. 26 in Oakwood.
Below are some of our group activities:
Golf: Golf is back in swing! We took time off in July and August due to the heat, but we resumed play in September. Can’t wait to hear the cheers for those birdies! If interested in joining our group and/or receiving our group emails, feel free to contact Keith Mackenzie at 248-766-9520 or [email protected]. This is a Cheers-members-only activity.
Cheers Birthday Celebration: We celebrate members’ birthdays every six months with dinner, a cash bar, entertainment, and a raffle for prizes. Cheers members enjoyed a celebration of July through December birthdays on Sept. 22 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 usually gather at Oakwood Poolside for Hand and Foot card game every Tuesday at 6 p.m.; however, due to remodel work, we will meet in the Oakwood ballroom, Section C, same day, same time. To better coordinate game tables of four, it is appreciated if you would RSVP attendance to MaryAnn Fazio at 480-277-5699. If you don’t know how to play or haven’t played in a while, MaryAnn Fazio and Ramon Rubio, our co-hosts, are happy to teach you.
Mexican Train: Join in for a fun game of Mexican Train every Sunday at 5:30 p.m. in the Cottonwood clubhouse Ladies Card Room (Room A-2), located behind the library.
