Politeness Matters
For any Sun Lakes residents who don’t already know, there will be a meeting in the main clubhouse on Thursday, August 5th at 6 pm. It would make sense for all those who are concerned about where our water bills could go (that’s our individual rates AND our share of what the HOA will have to fork out.) It is my understanding the Banning staff will speak and residents will get to respond.
It has been my experience when one is trying to curry favor, the results are more positive if one “asks” for something rather than bellows it throughout the main clubhouse.
For those of you with short memories, the reception offered former Banning city staffers during a public meeting about whether an auto mall would be located across the street resembled a lynching  … there was nothing friendly about it. The people who shouted accomplished nothing save being branded as rude and ignorant. FYI- the shouting did not kill the plan; the economy did.
Like many of my friends and colleagues in Sun Lakes, I too live on a “limited fixed income.” What that means is, if bills go up substantially, I am forced to eliminate something else.  I rue the day that I might have to decide between by medications and my utilities.
Please be informed and act accordingly.

Thank you for caring about our future.
