Sun City’s opening, January 1^st, 1960, made national headlines and the 50^th Anniversary of the world’s first planned active retirement community should be just as exciting.  Our theme for the year is,

“An Extraordinary Past --- A Brilliant Future”

and our desire is to have that theme echo around the world.

To recognize the year 2010 as the 50^th Anniversary of the founding of the World’s 1st Active Retirement Community through year-long celebrations and activities involving and benefiting residents, businesses and visitors.

During the 50^th anniversary year, the committee will:

1. Organize a year of fun events encompassing education, recreation, entertainment, and social activities designed to unite residential, local organization and business into one interconnected community.

2. Showcase the worldwide appeal of Sun City, the community that started them all, and to this day remains the best value in retirement living.

3. Motivate Sun City residents to active participation in the planning and implementation of the yearlong activities.

4. Create a 50th Anniversary legacy to Sun City that will be a tribute to the vision of its founder, Del E. Webb, and the residents who have volunteered their ideas, service and expertise throughout the years.

5. Contribute to organizations dedicated to serving the needs and interests of Sun City residents.
