Cheers is a social club open to members from Sun Lakes, Springfield, SunBird, and Solera communities. Our current 207 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 Thursdays 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 the opportunity for group dining at a local restaurant.
Below are some of our group activities:
Golf: The weather is now cooperating and the overseeding is done at most courses, which means booking tee times is much better, and we hope to get more golfers returning.
We have played Bear Creek and Sun Lakes Country Club in the past few weeks. Next week we return to SunBird and then back to Sun Lakes Country Club.
As for birdies the past couple of outings, they have been scarce, but we’re sure we will see more in the weeks to come. If not, we are still having a great time.
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]. Golf 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. The date for our next celebration of January through June birthdays will be determined after the holidays. 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 the Oakwood ballroom 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. 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.
