*SAVE THE DATE*

The holidays are a time for tradition and making memories. Sugarloaf Property Owners Association (SPOA) is dedicated to creating a sense of community and beginning this year, we will hold our own Christmas tree lighting ceremony for Sugarloaf and east valley residents to kick-off the holiday season. Unfortunately, there was no suitable tree in the common area of our community to designate as our Christmas tree. SPOA purchased a new tree which has been planted in the center of Sugarloaf Park and will now be used for this annual tradition. The tree will be maintained by the parks department going forward. This purchase was an unplanned expense, however, your Board felt it was a timely opportunity to bring the community together after Covid. If you would like to make a donation to offset the cost of the tree, please visit https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=F7X6S7VK4CGPS If you have news, images, videos you'd like to add to this page, please text 213-948-3165 or email TheodoreTrentman@gmail.com Attn: This is a progressive article that will continue to update as new information is learned.
