SEPTEMBER 2026 NEWSLETTER
A COBBLESTONE COMMUNITY
FROM YOUR COPPERSUN MANAGER, George Immerso Hello everyone! I am still taking bids for installation of a “Dart” area out in the ramada area of the pool. I am also working on my Manager Wish List to Corporate for other improvements, including updates in the swimming pool area. I will keep you posted when I get any news about my requests. I am happy to see many residents participating in both Activity-sponsored and Prankster-sponsored events. Have a great September, Coppersun.

FROM THE DESK OF SARAH MANNING, Coppersun Resident Manager BEAT THE HEAT COPPERSUN! Arizona summers are no joke, and heatrelated illnesses can happen faster than you think-especially for adults 55 and older. Here are a few simple ways to stay safe this summer: #Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. #Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat when outdoors. #Try to avoid being outside between 10am and 4pm when temperatures are at their highest.

#Take frequent breaks in air-conditioned spaces if you’re spending time outdoors, and don’t forget to check in on your neighbors. Watch for warning signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, such as heavy sweating, dizziness, fainting, nausea, confusion, or difficulty speaking. Heat stroke is a Medical Emergency!!! Let’s all do our part to stay cool, hydrated, and look out for one another. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and enjoyable September.
MESSAGE FROM YOUR COPPERSUN HOME SALES ASSOCIATE, Ozlen Green Managing Diabetes effectively relies on a combination of healthy lifestyle choices, consistent medical monitoring, and routine self-care. A balanced diet focusing on fiber-rich foods, lean proteins, and controlled carbohydrate intake helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, while regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity. Alongside lifestyle habits, daily monitoring of blood glucose levels allows individuals to track how food impacts their body. Stress and exercise also impact a person’s body. Partnering closely with healthcare professionals to manage prescribed medications or insulin, alongside scheduling regular checkups for heart, eyes, and kidney health, empowers individuals to prevent long-term complications and maintain a high quality of life.
FROM YOUR COPPERSUN ACTIVITY DIRECTOR, Joanne Ayotte The group that was called the Coppersun “CRABS” has disbanded, BUT the resident group who refer to themselves as ‘The Pranksters’ have acquired basically the same agenda as the Crabs. They will continue to organize and provide additional activities up and above what Coppersun Activities provide to you. Their goal is to bring the community together for friendships and fun. I am already working with them to provide some coordinated events that should be full of food, games, and fun for all.
Hello Coppersun residents! If sizing up September in the Phoenix metropolitan area, you can say we are in for another very hot month. I want to let everyone know that there has been a change to the Newsletter. Starting with the August 2026 publication, you will NOT be receiving paper newsletters. You will find the entire Newsletter posted on the Coppersun APP. Just click on “Newsletter,” and it will pop up for you. We are, and have already, been able to print out the monthly Activity Calendar for you. You can pick one up in the clubhouse. Thank you to Bobbie Bevars for providing a larger-print version of the calendar for those of us who struggle with the smaller print.
I want to remind everyone that our 3rd quarter Coppersun Charitable Event concludes October 1, 2026. It is for the Paralyzed Veterans of America. I will accept your donations until October 5th, and I will be sending all donations to PVof A by October 10, 2026. NOTE: Our final (4th quarter) Coppersun Charitable event is “Valley View Community Food Bank.” I will outline the information on the APP after October 1, 2026. Have a great September, everyone!
I want to thank Sarah and Tate from Archwell Health for hosting ‘The Price is Right” last month. It was so fun, and congratulations to Vicki Pfeiffer for winning the grand prize of a brand-new Hamilton Beach Blender.
Most Sincerely; Joanne K. Ayotte Coppersun Community Activity Director

The Pranksters are the new group in the community. Our goal is to provide fun, food, and socializing to the community at NO cost to you. All are welcome to attend our events: family, friends, and children. We are NEW, and our events are funded through money raised from the prior event, from our 50/50 raffle, and from donations. 100% of the money raised from the prior event goes toward the next event. We normally do not have signup sheets. Due to the funds available, food is free until the supply runs out at each event, so get there early. We try to have plenty of food, and so far we have not run short. All of our events will have a 50/50 drawing, and a donation can. Some events will also have door prizes available to all at no cost. We ask the community to support us by buying a Pranksters Crew Shirt for $25.00 and wear them to all of our events. Anyone wishing to volunteer to help at any of our events is welcome. Your suggestions and ideas are always welcome, just contact any one of the founders in person, or call us. Chris-520-971-5945 | Maria-480-200-9153 Shawn-480-989-3877 | Deb-330-321-7186
