27 MORE CLUBSAND ORGANIZATIONS
(Continued from page 1)
swimming clubs, provide fresh air, sunshine, exercise, and fun
that is healthful and invigorating. This keeps the body and mind
functioning as nature intended, stimulating and lengthening life.
For those who prefer the less strenuous life, clubs and or-
ganizations that meet indoors are likewise interesting and stim-
ulating, providing sociability and more intimate fellowship.
There, in personal conversation, Sun Citians really get to know
each other.
For many of these indoor meetings, fine facilities for serving
light refreshments or complete dinners are provided. For festive
occasions, these facilities are a necessity, and add greatly to the
sociability of members and friends. Thereby, Sun City maintains
a home-like atmosphere in a country-club setting.
Much amateur and professional talent has been found among
club members. It has been amazing to see and hear the fine con-
certs, entertainments, and unusual performances that have been
planned and produced for the enjoyment of the public.
Some clubs provide not only pleasure and sociability, but
place an emphasis on spiritual thought and life. Supplementing
the churches, they foster a Christian atmosphere in the entire
community and encourage concern and helpfulness toward
others, especially those who are sick or in need.
All in all, club life in Sun City constitutes a big part of the
"active retirement" that senior citizens have come here to put
into practice. It prevents lonesomeness, inactivity, and drudgery,
giving them a new zest for living their golden years.
New residents are heartily invited to join any of the clubs and
organizations that appeal to them.
