Remembering Our Roots

Note: This is a Paid Advertorial Representative T. J. Shope, Senator Vince Leach, Senator J.D. Mesnard As our state and nation grapple with the emerging challenge of how to overcome the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic crisis, it is more important than ever for Arizona to resist the temptation to abandon the free-market principles…

Making Music for Our Ears

Pat Miller, one of three directors of the SunBird Singers, began the choir at our SunBird Church services and welcomes you each Sunday at 9 a.m. Her husband Hank is one of the Sunday speakers.

Jackie Cox During the state lock-down, one activity sorely missed was our SunBird Sunday nondenominational church service—complete with friendly smiles, moving music, cookies, and a meaningful sermon from a rotating group of great ministers. It has been easy to take the service for granted. It is also easy to assume that our beautiful choir has…

Sunny Pathways

Jackie Cox Jan Davidson, winter resident, enjoyed a sunny walk on SunBird’s pathways with her dog before returning north to Canada. Her other dog is on a different route with Jan’s husband. Walking in the sunlight, often with our dog companions, is a happy activity during the coronavirus sheltering precautions.

The Computer Booters … Reboot!

Helen Seaton, Publicity Director Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, everyone has to make a lot of changes in their lives. We’re staying home, missing our club meetings and friends, and needing a lot more hugs. We’ve had to learn how to breathe through a mask—something that isn’t easy, because sometimes it fogs up our glasses.…

Line Dancing with Judee

Judee Curtis “So many dances to teach and so little time.” I’ve said this many times, but I didn’t realize how true it was until March 13. It seems like forever since I last taught dances to the loyal dancers who stay in Arizona year-round. Plus, “Goodbyes” and “See you next January!” were not said…
