Gardening: Home & Yard Gardening Interest Group
Are you new to the desert, like to garden and do not know what to
grow or how to take care of landscape plants and flowers? Come to the
newly-formed gardening group meeting. This is where Sun City gar-
deners share their knowledge and have questions answered about both
inside and outside plants.
“This club is for anyone interested in gardening who would like to learn
from others and share with others”, said Jack Weddle, founder.
The group was formed in October by Weddle. It meets monthly, the
second Tuesday of the month, 9 a.m., in the Pioneer Center.
The group is in the process of forming a club. The new president is Julie Stieber, the vice president/ secretary is David
Wargacki and the communication officer is Julie Moody.
For more information, come to the meeting or contact Jack Weddle, suncitygardening@gmail.com.
Hello 2020!
Hi everyone!
Sun City Mesquite Times
Non-Profit Feature: Catholic Thrift Store
Want to find gently used – often like new items at really good prices? The Catholic Thrift Store is
the place for you. Located at 561 West Mesquite Boulevard (across the street from the Japanese Steak
House) in Mesquite the store is open Monday – Friday from 10a.m – 3p.m. and on Saturday from 10
a.m. to noon. The store is completely non-profit, and all of the monies received from goods sold go
toward the mortgage reduction of the church. The second and very important purpose of the thrift store
is to provide a convenient, inexpensive place for citizens of the surrounding area to shop.
Staffed by a cadre of up to 51 volunteers, the store offers an enormous selection of clothing, house-
wares, furniture and personal necessities at very low and considerably fair prices. The volunteers not
only courteously provide service to the customers, they also keep the store clean, neat and well orga-
nized. In addition, many single moms with children are allowed to shop for free. Also, for persons
with low incomes, the store offers great prices for anything they need for themselves and their families.
According to Store Manager Barbara Durenberger, they take great pride in the selection of donations
received, they work hard to keep only the best, clean merchandise and ensure everything is in good
working order.
The store has provided over 150 bags of clothing to SafeNest (a community service organization for
needy families in the Las Vegas Valley), and fills requests from the Mesquite Cancer Society. They also
donate bibs, aprons, and personal necessities to the nursing home in Mesquite. The store does accept
electronic items that are not working and will refurbish or recycle those items. Blankets and pillows
that are not sale worthy are donated to the animal clinic and shelter. For more information, you can call
the store at (702) 346-1234.
Sun City Club: Tattered Book Club
.B ooks, discussions, friendships, refreshments, movies and lunch are all part of the Tattered Book Club activities.
“We all enjoy getting together to share and to discuss an enjoyable, interesting book.” said Sharon Koos, president.
The club was formed in 2009 and today there are 43 members. They read a variety of fiction, historical novels and,
once a year, a classic.
The club meets every first Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m., in a member’s home. The hostess selects a book to
read, hosts the club members, leads the book discussion and serves light refreshments. This is an opportunity to visit
with friends, discuss books, make new friends and enjoy delicious appetizers.
When an interesting movie comes to town, the women go to the movie together and have
lunch afterwards.
A few books scheduled to be read in 2020 are: Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks, and
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones.
