Identity Theft is becoming more and more common in our community. Frequently this takes place by thieves stealing mail out of our mailboxes. One significant way of dealing with this problem is by installing a Vacation/Security Mail Box at your home. There is no need to stop your mail as these mail boxes provide security even though you are gone for a few days or weeks. The mail boxes, made by Metal Club Members, are displayed and available for purchase at the S.C.W. Village Store. Installation is available through the Metal Club.

Visitors are always welcome at the Sun City West Metal Club during normal operating hours. Tours and demonstrations are available for those wishing to see the excellent facilities and equipment. Fresh coffee and pop is provided for visitors by our friendly members. Over 200 pieces of unique, one of the kind metal art created by members of the club are on display.

The February general membership meeting of the SCW Metal Club will be at 11:00 AM on Thursday, February 19, 2009 in the R. H. Johnson Lecture Hall located next to the Village Store. General membership meetings are moving to the third Thursday of the month in 2009. All Metal Club members are encouraged to attend. Two lucky members attending the meeting will receive $25 checks.

If you haven't renewed your membership for 2009, now is the time to do so. Annual dues will remain the same at $20.00 This is the best bargain in SCW with access to about ½ million dollars of top notch equipment and facilities. You can renew your membership at the Monitors Desk.

Repairing garbage container tops and metal furniture, knife/ax sharpening, special welding needs, custom metal art, milling and lathe work, etc. are services offered to the community by members of the Metal Club. Visit the Metal Club and let us know of your needs.

If you are interested in joining the Metal Club, stop by for a visit and tour of the facility. Many members of the club had no previous experience working with metal as no experienced is necessary. A wide variety of new skills can be learned from the myriad of classes available. Minimal membership dues provide access to equipment and instruction unavailable elsewhere. The Metal Club also offers social opportunities and events which include spouses or significant others.
