SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING FUNDING FOR THE SCCCA MASTER PLAN
Established in 2023: Hearing the voices of the Community Association members who would like to have the Master Plan of their campus renovations accelerated, the Sun City Center Community Association Future Facilities Fund has been created at the Community Foundation Tampa Bay. This fund will allow for tax deductible legacy donations on behalf of the future needs of the members for today, tomorrow and forever. “The Community Association will be able to speed up the phases of the Master Plan based on the amount of donations and then utilize the unrestricted funds for future maintenance, improvements, design, technology, etc.” said Debbie Caneen, Community Association Board Member. If you prefer to donate anonymously, the Community Foundation Tampa Bay will accommodate your request. Would you like to have a building named after your family? Sizeable donations will be considered for such applications and are certainly encouraged. Many of the residents are excited to get the project underway and to continue to move through the building phases without any delay of waiting for the influx of transfer fees from home sales. At this time, the Community Association’s Capital Fund holds close to $5 million dollars which is a great start – DEBT FREE – in the updates of the campus. As SCCCA moves through the process of improving the facilities, they will continue to search for opportunities for grant funding and donations.

FRI. SEP 22 - STAYING YOUNG WHILE GROWING OLD Presented by: Gururaj Mutalik, M.D.
5:30 p.m. at the North Club, Kings Point, Banquet Room, Sun City Center. There is much talk in the media about Longevity - in social, print and screen media about slowing human aging, stopping, and even reversing aging. Facts, myths, and gross exaggeraion are resulting in confusion. This talk will clarify fact from fiction on the basis of recent discov.eries in biology, chemistry, and medicine. These have given us a better understanding about the nature of aging at the level of genomics, genes, and chromosomes. Scientists working on animals in research laboratories have demonstrated that the life span of yeasts, fruitflies, and mice can be doubled by feeding them certain food components and altering their life routines. Their research conclusions are being applied to alter human biological age in relation to the chronological age, thus significantly improving their health status. We now have the means in our hands to slow down the pace of aging by changing our life style. By influencing our epegenetic structures to modify our geneome (DNA), we can remain healthy while we age chronologically. Rapid advances in this field are changing our lanscape of aging, and bringing new hope and promise to the elderly, regardless of their current chronological age or health status. Our speaker is a 95 years young retired physician who practiced medicine at the national and international levels. Dr. Mutalik has worked with the World Health Organization for about 20 years. He was trained at Johns Hopkins University hospital in Medical genetics, and is an researcher in Genomics and Epigenomics. He has been a resident of Sun City Center for several years and has applied some of these practices to his own life with noteworthy results. He teaches Yoga and counsels on health and family matters to his friends and families in the community.
