Come join us on Saturday, February 25, 2017, for our four-person Scramble. The sign-up sheet will be posted by the Pro Shop soon! The event is $40/pp. We are limiting the field to 120 players so that play goes smoothly! We will have three flights with one gross and three net payouts in each division. Sign-in is at 8:00 a.m. on the patio, 9:00 a.m. shotgun start! We will have mulligans and 50/50 raffle tickets for sale as well. What do our Kare Bear ladies do? Our Kare Bear volunteers offer to organize memorials for our residents that have passed away, including setting up and decorating tables, preparing desserts and beverages. When our SunBird residents are under the weather, volunteers send them a get-well card and take a Kare Bear mug filled with goodies to their homes (but you need to notify us). We also send out sympathy cards when we lose a resident in SunBird. Throughout the year, our members raise funds by organizing the Kare Bear Faires and other events. All of our funds are donated to non-profit organizations in the Chandler area, i.e., St. Vincent de Paul and Matthew’s Crossing Food Banks, Neighbors Who Care, Clothes Cabin, Toy Drive for Chandler Fire Department, My Sister’s Place and many more agencies. Last year we donated money to the HOA for the cameras at the Hunt Highway gate and money to the Pro Shop for a new weed eater/edger. We donated over $9,000 to these organizations!

If you would like to be a hole sponsor ($100), please contact Barb Dunbar at 360-490-1587. We had several residents last year that sponsored the hole they lived on and split the cost with other residents. Just think, you could be recognized for your generous donation! Or, you can donate anonymously just because you believe in what we do!
