The Sun City Anthem Financial Club has between 350-400 members. It is a 'For Information' club that provides
its member with information useful for management of their financial affairs. It is not an investment club that
collects funds, nor does it purchase investments. The Club emphasizes to its members that your investment
decisions are your own.

Our member's investment knowledge ranges from - needs help - to very sophisticated. Most of our monthly
meeting attendees have some investment knowledge so that presenters do not have to reiterate the most
basic investing concepts, such as asset allocation, for example. Many members continue to self-manage their
investment portfolios, while others have engaged professionals to assist them.

The purpose of the monthly presentations is to provide unbiased financial or investment information to our
membership. We have learned over the years that the best way for speakers to benefit from their presentations
is to provide valuable information in a professional manner. Our members then feel that these people are really
qualified and knowledgeable, and perhaps I should talk with them about what services they may be able to
provide me. Marketing of company-specific products or services during the presentation is neither required nor
desired. We have learned that a low-key approach works the best.

We have also found that one of the keys of a good presentation is a' take away' that the members would
typically respond with, 'I didn't know that.'

Our presentations are usually scheduled for about 45 minutes followed by a 15 minute Q&A session. Members
who are interested frequently engage presenters after the meetings to discuss key points of the presentation
and delve further into the topic.

As speakers develop their presentations, the Vice President for Programs along with a couple of members of
the club's Board of Director's meets with each speaker about one month prior to the meeting. For non-local
speakers, a conference call is a good substitute. At that time Board Members would review your proposed
topics or a preliminary outline. These meetings or conference calls are kept very informal and are designed to
help provide the speaker with valuable input. In addition, the Club requests an electronic copy of the
presenter's bio with a picture so that we can post it for promotional use on our web site and as in an e-mail
meeting reminder to our members.

Programs are usually scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 7:00 PM. Speakers
are requested to arrive no later than 6:30 PM to allow time to meet Club officers, discuss their program, set up
AV equipment, and have photographs taken.

Attendance at the monthly programs is averages about 130 members and guests, although we have had up to
300 in attendance.

Handouts are encouraged. They can either be placed on chairs before the meeting begins, or can be available
on a table for attendees to pick up as they depart. In addition, the AFC would like to post the presentation
whenever possible to the AFC's web site, along with links to the presenter's web site.

Monthly meetings are usually held in the Delaware Room at Anthem Center, located at 2450 Hampton Road,
Henderson, NV. The phone number for the Anthem Center is 702-614-5800.

Audio / Visual equipment is available that can utilize CD's, DVD's or flash drives. A laptop computer loaded
with the presentation can also be connected to the AV system. PowerPoint is the most common presentation
software used.

Although not required, speakers have provided raffle prizes as part of their program. Raffle prizes in the past
have included copies of relevant books or DVD's, newsletter subscriptions, coupons for local restaurants, or
other prizes of nominal value.
