Two days ago, I did not believe that I would be able to write these words, but after attending the Sun City Anthem Board Book meeting on Tuesday, July 21st...
On a second topic of rewiring Anthem Center (with what was believed to be a HUGE EXPENDITURE)....it was determined that the existing metering system was FULLY ACCURATE...and required NO FURTHER EXPENSE.
And so...today we take a different approach than in previous articles....
Now...just as we wanted your comments in the past, we want them again.

There's nothing wrong with giving a compliment when it's deserved !

The board made the correct decision in not giving any more concessions to the restaurant.
It is time for Cafe V to close.
With all the "gaming" restaurants close by, that are inexpensive, I don't see this community ALLOWING any other style of restaurant to succeed.
The original Vic's is a case in point.
The food was excellent, the service was too. I probably ate there 15 times before it changed.
The complaint was that it was too expensive, and it wasn't.
Everyone wanted it cheaper, I believe, just so that they could go more often.
A business needs to make a profit, and a restaurant is no different. We had a quality restaurant and we let it slip away.

Dick,
We really appreciate being kept up to date with your blog.
Good job on the Cafe V fiasco.
I'm glad to see our board did the right thing.
Now if they would only make Cafe V adhere to the original contract.

Finally there is dialogue between concerned residents and Board Members in a positive way.
Bella, Don and Carl's responses indicate they do read the blogs to be informed what many residents concerns are,
Our BOD can say NO...(no more hand outs) to a restaurant that they should have been knowing Cafe V's chances of success was slim to none.
Optimism, emotions, personal agenda and poor judgement got our community into this mess.
Now it is a matter of time until our BOD or Cafe V turns out the lights for good.
That space can be used more efficiently for residents and club usage without the wasted expense of a seldom used catering kitchen and unsuccessful restaurant.
I know there is a saying about how hard it is to teach an old dog new tricks.
Well, Cafe V's situation has never been a trick, but common sense!
If all board members watch SCA's spending as they watch their own spending, I doubt this restaurant issue would have ever existed!
Thanks for posting to alert all residents at SCA!
