Cheers is a social club with membership of 160 and growing. We are open to singles in Sun Lakes, Springfield, SunBird, and Solera communities. Whether you are a year-round resident or visit us during the winter months, you are invited to become a part of the Cheers family. We offer many activities and programs, including social time, wine tasting, dining out, book club, games, and our newest, group—golfing.

With your $20 annual dues, you will be given access to the members-only activities and the chance to make many new friends. We look forward to having you come and visit our Thursday social hour. You won’t regret it. We have new members join almost every month. Our members come from all parts of the country or other parts of the world. We meet every Thursday at Oakwood Country Club in the Bradford Room from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Our attendance is anywhere from 35 to more than 50 members. Please join us.

Below are some of our group activities:

Cheers Birthday Celebration. On May 15 a birthday celebration was held in the Saguaro Room at Cottonwood, where 42 members helped celebrate those members who had a birthday in April, May, and June. There was trivia, along with door prizes, food and, of course, birthday cake. We meet once every quarter to celebrate members’ birthdays.

Hamilton High School Donations. Our group works with a social worker at Hamilton High to help the poor and homeless who attend school. Some items we donate are laundry detergent, soap, dish soap, cash, etc. For those in need, it is very helpful, and although the school is closed, donations continue to be needed, and our members are very generous. If you wish to donate, you may contact Sally Wegryn at 203-470-0733.

Mah Jongg. Meets once a week at the Cottonwood pool to play; however, it is discontinued until September.

Cheers Book Club. Meets once a month to discuss the previous month’s books that were chosen to read.
