SUNCITYLINK.COM GETS AN UPDATE
New Club Calendar Debuts; Contact Link Office to Get Your Information Posted Today
Last week, to celebrate the start of the community’s fiscal year, which technically is the magazine's New Year for ideas, Suncitylink.com rolled out a fresh new look. Building on resident's comments we’ve received over the last three years, the website added video headers to boost visual interest and simplified its navigation list to help make finding information easier. Alongside the same great features like Top Picks of the Week and Community coverage, readers will notice a larger, super-easy-to-use calendar that allows clubs to input their meeting information and photos. Clubs will now be able to share their information via social media, as well. If you are in a club, you need to check out the new calendar on the Clubs tab. We think you will like it and hope that you contact us to start getting your information posted. To get started, email [email protected] at the Link office. Club presidents should appoint one representative to reach out to Stacie and receive an access link to the calendar. Stacie will lead designated members through the process and answer any questions.
In addition to the new club calendar, the website added a few new columns that offer tips on nearby businesses, suggestions on how to keep visiting grandkids busy and an educational column on a vintage art form. Stay tuned for an upcoming column on animal news and pet fostering opportunities.
We hope you enjoy the Link website’s new look. As always, if you have an idea to share, don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. Happy scrolling!

MEXICAN BUFFET HAPPY HOUR A HIT
SCSCAI’s Food & Beverage Department celebrated the success of another special event on June 27 at The Summit. According to Anthony Marrone, F&B Manager, the Mexican Buffet and Happy Hour hosted 80 residents who enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet of cheese enchiladas, chicken soft tacos, rice, beans, chips & salsa, as well as key lime cupcakes and flan. Drink specials of $4 margaritas and Coronas were a hit!
To top off the evening, diners were treated to the music of The Summit Trio, which entertained for a dance floor crowd.
The Summit’s next special event is set for Saturday, August 24, 4-7 p.m. It will be an Island-theme party with a beachside-inspired buffet. Tickets are $25 per person and are on sale now.

Another definition may be creating order out of fluid chaos, at least when applied to amateur productions. For the Sun City Community Theater production of “Grease” that task falls to Lorraine Jones.
“Grease” has a number of dancing scenes. Some, such as “Greased Lightening,” “Magic” and “Hand Jive” feature a small number of cast members. Others, such as “Beauty School Dropout” feature the ensemble or chorus line. All of these dances are performed by Sun City residents, so Lorraine’s job is to take this raw talent and mold it into a professional looking dance company.
Lorraine isn’t new to the business. She has taught dance professionally for many years and owned her own Dance School in Northern California before retiring to Sun City.
“Because of my background, I knew the challenges ahead when I signed up for the job. But there is also a reward, the fun of watching this hard working group slowly evolve into the professionals you’ll see on stage in September,” Lorraine promised.
“Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t going to be easy, either, for me or the cast. Fifteen people don’t just go up on a stage and start synchronous dancing to new music without a lot of hard work and a lot of practicing. But the end result will be worth it. Just wait until September, you’ll see.”
