THE LINK MAGAZINE STAFF WISHES OUR READERS A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!

At the helm, Mitzi Mills – Editor Gail Abrams Link Magazine Coordinator Sun City Summerlin is an amazing Community of active, outgoing residents. I am so proud to be a part of the Link staff. We are driven to produce an interesting, informative, and fun Link magazine every month!

My 25+ year background producing travel publications for the cruise industry has given me the tools needed to design, create, and deliver on time the very best Link magazine. What a thrill to know that residents look forward to reading the Link magazine and that they enjoy the articles, many relying on its contents for event information.

I invite you to share your articles and/or ideas for future Link magazines. Please e-mail me at: gaila@suncitylv.com. Kelly-Mae Mahoney Link Magazine Advertising Coordinator Hello Sun City residents! My name is Kelly-Mae, and I work as the Advertising Coordinator for the Link Magazine. I moved to Las Vegas from London, England, in late 2018, and I began working for Sun City Summerlin in March 2020, as the Administrative Assistant for the Link. In August 2021, I was promoted to Link Advertising Coordinator. I help to bring a vast array of quality advertisers to Sun City residents. I am passionate about my role, and I love what I do! I love meeting new people but helping and providing community news to our residents is the best part of the job!

The Link Magazine isn’t the first publication I have had the pleasure of working for. After graduating from Staffordshire University in 2009, I interned at This Is Money UK (the financial division of The Daily Mail), JustSpotted.com (a celebrity news tracking website founded by the team that created Google+), and EntertainmentWise UK as a Celebrity News Reporter.

Sun City Summerlin has given me so much joy over the past two years and our residents have made me feel right at home. My most recent joy has been the adoption of my 9-year-old pup Zoey from a Sun City resident. Little Zoey has been a perfect addition to my little family. All in all, I am truly thankful to be a part of such a wonderful community. Stacie Coppens Link Website And Marketing Coordinator I came to the Link Department in April 2018 as the Administrative Assistant. I loved the sense of community that I was experiencing working for Sun City Summerlin. Plus, I lived in the community which was a real bonus. After some time, I took over as the Advertising Coordinator and began to meet and communicate with our wonderful advertisers. My current position in the Department is Link Website and Marketing Coordinator. I really love this job as I work to support several departments by promoting their events, activities, and specials through our social media accounts (Facebook and Instagram) and Tuesday Newsday. Tuesday Newsday is an eblast reminder to look at the Link website for new information that is added every Tuesday morning. This includes the “Top Picks” for upcoming activities in the community and information for future events and activities. In addition, I get to create ads for many of our advertisers that go in the Link magazine. I also help the restaurants by creating artwork for table tents and event flyers. It’s such a fun and creative job. My colleagues and the residents make it a great place to work. Eileen Dorchak Adminstrative Coordinator Having worked in various positions throughout my nearly 8 year tenure with the Association, the last 1-1/2 years have been with the Link. The Link team (Gail, Kelly-Mae and Stacie) is a pleasure to work with. Each of us holds a special role allowing us to meet the deadlines each month. My day is filled greeting the many residents who want to place classified ads to sell their treasures; corresponding with the Chartered Club representatives placing their monthly club news in the Link; and working with the different Association Departments that have their special events listed in each issue. Oh! And don’t let me forget the many, many hours of proofreading in an attempt to publish a near perfect issue. For me, the fast pace makes for a busy but fulfilling day and I hope to continue for a long time to come.
