The Sun Lakes Women’s Association Spring Sale is going on RIGHT NOW! The sale runs Thursday, March 31, through Saturday, April 1, in the SLCC east parking lot. We’ll be featuring furniture, décor items like lamps and artwork and some vintage goods. Please stop by from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

March had been a busy month for the Association with the 7th Annual Golf-o-Rama earlier in the month and the sale at the end of the month. Donations to our association are picked up every week, and March is always a very busy month for that also.

At the March meeting, the Association approved donations of nearly $50,000. This included:

* New radios for the Sun Lakes Fire Department to insure complete communications with Maricopa County’s new system,

* Seed money for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s care-givers respite and training center,

* Funds to equip a dedicated golf cart with emergency medical equipment and

* Stocked Angler’s lake for the 2017 disabled kids fishing days.

All your donations and purchases fund this giving. We are so happy to be able to accomplish so much! These new donations put us pretty close to $2 million in total donations over our 43 years in existence.

To donate items to the Association, please call 480-895-9270, Ext. 220. Someone will call you back to arrange a pickup. You may also donate online at slwomens.org. We do not take beds or large appliances or clothes or personal items. But everything else will be either resold or re-donated.

To join the association, please come to our weekly workgroups or monthly meeting; we meet every Monday in the SLCC Arts and Crafts Room, from 9:00-11:00 a.m. You can also join online at slwomens.org.
