Welcome to our occasional weekend newsletter, which focuses on interesting active adult and 55+ communities and the issues attached to them. You Make the Call Results Many thanks to everyone who voted in Wednesday's poll to determine future articles. "Dueling States: NC vs. SC" was the runaway winner, followed by a tight cluster including: "What is Your Retirement Lifestyle", "Make Your Lifetime Bucket List", and "Dueling States: NM vs. CO". "International Retirement" and "NM vs. CO" trailed. Now that we have a winner, you can look forward to seeing "Dueling States: NC vs. SC" in next Wednesday's newsletter. Note: apologies to all who missed our note and wondered why the voting links took them to un-related articles - since the new ones weren't written yet, it was the only way to count your votes! 3 of Arizona's More Interesting Active Communities We count reviews of 88 different AZ active adult and 55+ communities in 22 towns here at Topretirements.com.
