"Community group addresses RCSC appointment" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry Subject: The RCSC appointed Craig Brown to the board. The
members kept him from getting re-elected in 2010. He stopped the legal committee and then raised the quorum for membership
meetings which is causing us to head to court for relief. He raised the quorum when the members had quorums protesting
the increase in the PIF from $2,500 to $3,000 in a bad real estate market and also the raising of the quorum! Attend
the membership meeting on January 26, at 9 a.m. at Sundial Auditorium to protest that and their other actions that put the
homeowners at risk of litigation. Only lawsuit can hold the RCSC accountable. To support legal action, donate to "Anne
Stewart", 10526 W Tropicana Cir, Sun City, AZ 85351. Donations are not tax deductible. PUBLISHED DAILY NEWS-SUN, JANUARY 25, 2012, OPINION, LETTERS, PG 4

"Practice what they
preach" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson
for The Sun City Formula RegistrySubject:
RCSC dishonoring long-term contracts. The RCSC is protesting a 14-percent increase in utility rates (which we do as
well) yet increased assessments of over 100 percent on Sun City's pioneers! They should practice what they preach. Protest
at ACC hearing Oct 7, 10 a.m., Sundial Auditorium. Also, attend sundial monument dedication at 8:30 a.m. the same morning.
The Sun City Formula Registry requested petitions to save it which halted its immediate demolition. We thank the
RCSC for listening to the members. PUBLISHED

8/13/11: "Resident alleges RCSC board discrimination" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry and Publisher of annereport.com
Subject: Stewart rebuts the RCSC President Vance
Coleman letter which was published on the RCSC website and in The Daily News-Sun. She sticks by her claims of discrimination
against SCFR, the need for transparency and accountability, and the need to rectify the illegal board policies that create
unequal members. PUBLISHED THE DAILY NEWS-SUN, AUGUST

7/22/11: "RCSC board discriminates against residents" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: The RCSC created a board policy that allows
the board to pick and choose which members and groups can gather in its social halls and auditoriums. The Articles guarantee
equal privileges. This practice creates unequal privileges and the loss of membership power. It is wrong. PUBLISHED THE DAILY NEWS-SUN, JULY

5/25/11: "Anne Stewart responds to RCSC claims, invites community participation" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: The RCSC used their corporate newspaper,
website, email, and bulletin boards in an atempt to discredit and humiliate Anne Randall Stewart by name. She stands
by her reports and will carry on. She calls on members to attend meetings so they can tell who to believe. At
the meeting on May 26, the board will unanimously approve abolishing the "Morning After" notes to keep the members
in the dark until the following month when the board votes to approve the minutes. Annereport.com will publish their
version instead. Without board approval. Attend Membership/Board meeting May 26 9 a.m. at Sundial Auditorium.

2/17/11: "'Saving Sundial Monument' in Limbo"
by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: Without an open meeting, the RCSC board "voted" to repair the Sundial Monument
instead of demolish the Del Webb icon. That is a victory for the Members. However, we must hold off on our celebration.
Without a public vote, board decisions are not official. Our petition drive isn't over yet. Stand by until
the board's decision is official. No demolition can proceed while there is a request for a petition for membership action
through a Membership Vote. See PRESS RELEASE BELOW.

"Save the Sundial Monument" Speech
2/17/11: "Sundial Monument rust a ruse" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: Without discussion in an open meeting,
the RCSC board had a press release that because of rust on the Sundial Monument it will be removed, citing an engineering
report that it is "unsafe". We found that to not be the case; the steel frame is not any rustier than the
new steel found at a construction site. The steel is still good. The Sundial Monument is a historic landmark and
namesake for the Sundial Rec Center. It is an icon and necessary for the branding of Sun City. The Del Webb history
is important to perpetuate "Our Retirement Dream Come True". After this letter was circulated, and others
generated from member outrage, the board released a second notice that backed off saying they don't have enough information
to tear it down and is requesting "input". We don't trust them. Leave the Sundial Monument where it
is and take care of it. And start having open meetings so we don't upset the membership. PUBLISHED THE DAILY NEWS-SUN,

"Members getting fleeced" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson
for The Sun City Formula RegistrySubject:
RCSC is paying people to use our facilities for free! In a January 14 Memo from Jan Ek, employees can use the rec centers
for free, including golf. Even part-timers can play golf for $2 which is less than what the members pay. The members
are not being treated as well as outsiders. Start attending membership meetings until we reach 1250 quorum. Attend
regularly every quarter. Next meeting January 27 at 9am Sundial Auditorium. PUBLISHED SUN CITY INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 26, 2011, OPINION, LETTERS, PG 4

"It's time for a 'Brown out,'
Sun City residents" by
Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: Send a message to the RCSC---we want our membership meetings back!!!
DO NOT RE-ELECT INCUMBENT CRAIG BROWN!!! Vote only on Dec. 14 Election Day!! PUBLISHED DAILY
NEWS-SUN, NOVEMBER 25, 2010, OPINION, LETTERS, PG 6A
UPDATE 12/21/10: BROWN LOSES!!! SUN CITY WINS!!! However,
AFTER THE ELECTION OUTCOME, Director Phil Cook resigned so that the board can appoint someone to take his place. Is
he being a "team player" by resigning? Will the board have the "gall to install" Craig Brown thereby
OVERRIDING the will of the people?
UPDATE 1/26/11: SUN CITY LOSES!!!
BROWN WINS!!!
The appointment was Carey Shore, same as Brown. Both voted to increase the PIF to $3,000 after membership
quorums showed up to protest. Both voted to increase the quorum for membership meetings against state statute so that
the members can't ever have a quorum again! Shore equals Brown, so, Brown wins and Sun City loses!

4/19/10: "Registry fights community apathy" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: Rebuttal to critic Robert Wheeler's letter
against SCFR. Wheeler in uninformed. The Registry faces apathy which is a "soothing state of mind. Dangerous,
but soothing, like dope." Addresses charge that the Registry is trying to change Sun City by giving examples of
the sweeping changes this board has done to remove membership power. The Registry merely wants to restore that power
to the members.

Registry
Subject: Gives the history of events regarding the petition drive. Also, explains the reasons for
rejecting the recall petition [Petition P-03] and the intent to proceed on Oct. 1st when the homeowners return. The
RCSC board has written bylaws and board policies that have removed the ability for the Members to act which is contrary to
the RCSC Articles of Incorporation. They guarantee that in a dispute between the Members and the board over the bylaws,
etc., "the action of the Members shall prevail."

Subject: RCSC board wants gutters on Willowcreek costing $435,000. Stewart wants Pacific
Aquascape to be able to bid on the project to keep Willowcreek Del Webb quality. She fears they will be shut out by
specs calling for a gutter which they don't do. If they are, Stewart calls for recall of board members and dismissal
of employees in support of it. UPDATE: Pacific Aquascape was shut out of bidding. On Monday, at the 4/6/09 board meeting,
Tom Beckwith delivered a PA bid for $203,000 or $308,000 depending on the length, which was immediately rejected. So, Willowcreek will get a gutter instead of a water feature and it
will be done by Alliance, a first-time contractor, with no identifiers on their trucks at the construction site.
