Monday, May 6, 6:30-8:30 pm (RH Johnson Social Hall) What’s all the screeching about, anyway? Why do they sing in some incomprehensible foreign language? And how come the guy with the low voice is always the villain, the guy with the high voice gets the girl, and the lady singing really high dies at the end? In this lively and informative talk using the piano, videos, audio recordings, and PowerPoint, Professor Schildkret looks at how operatic conventions arose from its history and how, despite all those silly formulas, opera can be one of the most rewarding experiences in the theater, if you go in with just a little knowledge.

Hi Lin. Many of the classes are taught by our talented residents right here in Sun City West. The costs are designed to ensure the program is self-sustaining, rather than placing the burden on rec fees, so fees are assessed. These include an administrative fee to handle the online booking, a fee to cover the Rec Centers’ costs, and the instructor’s costs. We keep them as affordable as possible.

PS We are also wondering why the classes offered are so expensive? There must be a wealth of people right here in SCW that could speak on a variety of topics of interest without charging anything or at least not more than $5 per person. Even if there is a film shown seems like $5 pp should cover that cost?

My husband & I went to the Restoration Club Car Show on the 19th. Congratulations to all participating members/volunteers – this was one outstanding show! The best one we’ve attended in several years, so professionally run. We think the Restoration Club is a great idea and look forward to future events.

Thanks for your inquiry, Jim. According to Automotive/Restoration Club President Herb Clark, the car show is set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, in the R.H. Johnson Rec Center parking lot. (The show also features a car-part exchange, which we expect will be a popular attraction for car-restoration addicts.) Almost 40 trophies will be up for grabs at the show in different categories, and entries continue to be accepted. In addition to live entertainment, there also will be food available for purchase and raffles for various prizes. Monies raised at the event will go toward the club’s efforts to construct a permanent building for its members’ primary purpose, which is “to restore parts of history,” according to Clark.
We’ll round up more information soon but, in the meantime, feel free to call Club President Clark at 623-444-7778 if you would like more details.
