On the first nice, warm day this spring, Sun Citians may see an unusual sight in the Prairie Lodge parking lot. A tall person will pull up on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Don’t worry, it’s not an invasion by bandanna-wearing bikers, and it isn’t an undercover cop checking out residents’ driving habits. When she takes off her helmet, they’ll discover the driver is Lauren Lee, Sun City’s new community association executive director.

Immediate medical care is coming to Prairie Lodge this spring.
Soon, residents needing a flu shot, a prescription written, a look at a skin condition, or aid for a cut finger in the kitchen can get help without leaving Sun City, as Centegra’s Wellness Center in Prairie Lodge expands to become an immediate care clinic, scheduled to open this spring.

As concealed carry of handguns has taken center stage in Illinois, the attention of the Sun City Community Association has focused on how the new state law will be handled within this community.
