Due to the early summer heat, we are changing our start time.  Games will start at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Starting June 16th, we will go to our official summer start time of 7:30.  If you are thinking about joining the Bocce Club, please arrive about 20 minutes early so an officer can show you how to play and go over the rules.

Quilters will continue to meet in the Craft Room at the Center Thursday and Friday mornings from nine until noon.  We have a few different activities planned but there will also be lots of social quilting. Summer is the perfect time to try a new technique, a different pattern or an unfamiliar tool.  All Sunflower residents are welcome to join us or to just stop by to see what we are making.  Hope to see you soon!

If grassy areas are looking yellow in some spots, it is because it's the time of year when the lawns are converted to the summer grass and AAA Landscaping is thatching the areas.  They are also watering more extensively to get the new grass growing.  This is our normal lawn cycle, and it could take a few weeks for the grass to be looking great again.
