FREE RCA Golf Cart Seat Belt Installation Event
Many living the Sun City AZ lifestyle take advantage of golf carts as a convenient and affordable mode of transportation, and with the increase in usage, comes an increase of potential incidents. Golf carts are often viewed as harmless recreational vehicles because of their small size and low speed, but it’s important to know that thousands of serious and sometimes fatal golf cart incidents occur each year.
To enhance golf cart safety in the community, the Retirement Association of Sun City (RCA) will host their final FREE golf cart seat belt program for Sun City residents on Thursday, March 3, 2016 from 8:00am to 2:00pm at the Sun Bowl. Volun- teers from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, the Sun City Posse, My Guys Mobile, and RCA will install one seat belt free of charge on the driver’s side (or until seat belts run out). Additional seat belts are $10 each and will also be installed free of charge.
The hope is that many will take advantage of this important safety program to prevent or reduce injuries to our own golf cart users. Always buckle up for safety – someone needs you!
Founded in 1975 with the goal of “keeping Sun City unincorporated,” the focus of the RCA is supporting and promoting safety. In addition to free seat belt installation events, RCA also provides installation of smoke detectors for homes and pet decals for emergency information. Visit rcasuncity.org for information about future programs or to volunteer.

But one thing many may not realize is the generos- ity of these talented and gifted people in our com- munity. Many give classes in the clubs to which they belong, while others are kind enough to offer encouragement and advice to those new to the craft when they see someone struggling.
