SCW Posse looking for volunteers
The Posses of Sun City West are on the streets 365 days of the year to assist the residents of this community. Since its inception 42 years ago, the men and women of this community have stepped up to the plate and volunteered to serve in this organization. Today, the Posse are desperately short of members to perform the duties of receptionist, dispatcher and patrol personnel. They have members working 8-12 shifts per month in order to cover the needed shifts. Several shifts have had to be cancelled because there is not enough personnel to cover them. If you have an interest in serving the community, stop by the Posse office and volunteer! You can also call them
at 623-584-5808.
