Special thanks to the many Metal Club members who assisted in the making and assembly of parts for the vacation/security mail boxes. 125 mail boxes were assembled and powder coated. Vacation/security mail boxes can be seen throughout the Sun Cities area and are available for purchase at the Village Store. Installation is also available.

Big thanks also go to those members who participated in the recent remodeling of the Metal Club building. Following the construction of a large wall, the welding area was moved to the space between the paint booth and the large overhead doors at the rear of the Club building. This move will provide much better ventilation and broader options for the welding operation. A portion of the sheet metal area was moved to the space previously occupied by welding.

Following a recent general membership meeting, members were invited to the Metal Club for a pizza party. Appreciative members consumed 25 large, delicious pizzas from Rosie’s Italian Cafe and several cases of pop.

There is a special need for Monitors during the summer months. Unless 2 Monitors are on duty during any given four hour shift, the Club must be closed. If you are here during the summer months, stop by the Monitors desk to sign up. Training for Monitors is available.

Visitors are always welcome at the Sun City West Metal Club during normal operating hours. Tours are available for those wishing to see the excellent facilities and equipment. Fresh coffee and pop is provided for visitors by our friendly members.

The next general membership meeting of the SCW Metal Club will be Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 9:00 AM. There will be no meeting in July and August.
