From the Executive Director
Six Easy Ways to Stay Connected
e Association makes every possible attempt to notify residents when policy changes
occur that may aﬀect them. Short of sending letters, which is very expensive, the following are ways that you can stay informed:
www.SCSCAI.com – Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc.’s oﬃcial
information website. Under “Administration,” all agendas, approved minutes and
schedules are published for each committee and Board meeting. Watch “Meeting
Notices” for up-to-date information of meetings planned. Budgets, nancial results
and governing documents are all available on this site.
e Link – Oﬃcial notice of all events that act as a general mailing to residents for
elections and the annual budget vote by residents. Read each section carefully for information, future projects, and study the calendar for meetings and events.
www.SunCityLink.com – e website of the Link magazine, featuring up-to-date
news from around the community. e Link comes out once a month, but its website
can post news, videos, slideshows and information every few days. Watch for estate sale
postings on ursdays, and be sure to check out the classi eds!
e-News Bulletin – Email reminders about community events, changes and emergency information. Sign up at www.scscai.com and click on e-NEWS subscribe.
Bulletin Boards In Social and Fitness Centers – Important information on upcoming meetings and other announcements are posted in all centers.
Coﬀee With e Board – e Board meets with residents every third Friday of the
month at 10:30 a.m. at Desert Vista. is casual meeting is the perfect place to bring
up anything and everything. No decisions can be made, but residents can bring a subject to the forefront.
Remember, this is our community and since we all care, the Board makes sure we
can stay informed.
~ Sue Papilion, Executive Director, Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc.
Exercise Your Right To Vote
February is an important month in the governing of Sun City Summerlin. An election
is being held to name four owners to the Board of Directors.
When your February Link is delivered to your address, there will be a ballot and
instructions for sending or delivering your vote to the Association. Read it carefully,
follow directions and your important vote will be counted.
It is important that you read the bios of the six candidates running for the four
seats on the Board. e service of a Board member is very important to our community. Many members give more than 20 volunteer hours per week. ey are responsible
for setting policy of the Association and reviewing nancial results to see that we are
staying within the budget approved by the home owners.
Sun City is a community of around 13,000 residents with a $15,000,000 annual budget. It has nearly $15,000,000 in reserves and daily cash ow. It is a big responsibility to
govern a business that amounts to a small city. It is, therefore, imperative that the owners select persons to the Board who have found time to learn about the operation of
Sun City and have skills that will assist them in the job.
Voting in Sun City is important. Make sure you exercise your right.

Architectural Review Committee
We Are Here For You
e Architectural Review Committee (ARC) is here for
you, and we are easy to get a hold of. Just give us a call at
966-1411.
With spring around the corner, many residents look to
refresh the outside of their homes. ARC is here to help residents begin a spring project. Please let us know what type
of outside project you are thinking of doing, and we will be
more than happy to assist you in following the approved
community standards that we all must adhere to in accordance with our Association regulations.
On occasion, it is unfortunate when a resident completes
a project on his/her own and it is later discovered that certain guidelines were not followed. It is sad when such hard
work and nancial investment must be changed on a cherished home project because no one bothered to check
with ARC.
While it is the goal of ARC to make sure residents comply with Association rules and regulations so that all our
properties maintain nancial value, it is also our aim to
help you, our neighbors. e most dreaded part of our job
is having to inform a fellow resident that his or her outside
project is not in compliance and has to be redone or undone to the tune of considerable expense.
I can promise you that it is so worth your eﬀort to use
the little time it takes to call ARC and do the minimal paperwork, which we can help you with. e eﬀort is so

Landscaping
I want to talk about safety throughout the common areas
of Sun City Summerlin, which is important to us all. As
you all know we recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of
the wonderful life that Sun City oﬀers residents. With the
anniversary came the opportunity to see that some of our
sidewalks and other concrete areas are getting old. In some
locations, the pavement is lifting for various reasons.
e Landscape Department does its best to keep the
areas safe, but we need your help. If you see an unsafe area,
please report it ASAP and we will do our best to x it
B
quickly. Many trips and falls are on areas that have less
than a quarter-inch rise.
When walking around the community, be aware of
what you’re walking on so you don’t trip. And, again,
please report any unstable areas to a monitor or any other
oﬃce, including mine, here at the Landscape Department,
254-4092.
I hope everyone enjoys the winter. We are still watering
turf on Tuesdays and drip on Wednesdays during the day.

Election Day is Tuesday, February 24. is is your last
chance to vote.
is year we will be electing four (4) residents to serve
on the Board as Directors. e candidates elected will
serve two-year terms.
e ballot format is the same as used last year and is
prepared for electronic counting. e ballot has two halves
and a pre-posted return envelope. Instructions are printed
on the ballot. A household has four (4) votes. After marking the ballot, remove the “Instructions” side to remove
your name and address. Insert the ballot half into the envelope so that the “bar code,” which is used for validation,
shows through the envelope’s window. On vote-counting
day, the Election Committee will cut oﬀ the bar code before removing your secret ballot. We will use optical scanners to count the ballots and tabulate the votes electronically.
If you make a mistake marking your ballot, do not correct it. Exchange the old ballot for a new one at the Administration Oﬃce.
Each member household will receive one ballot and will
have four (4) votes. Before requesting a replacement ballot
and envelope, be certain that another member of the household has not voted. Should two ballots be received from the
same home, both will be voided. Casting more than four
votes also will void the ballot. Your votes may be cast for
one candidate or divided among two or more candidates.
If you have questions about how to ll out your ballot,
or you need a replacement ballot, please call the SCSCAI
Administration oﬃce at 966-1401.
No candidate information will be available from this
source.
Validation and counting of the ballots occurs at an oﬃcial SCSCAI association meeting on Wednesday, February
25, at 8 a.m., in the Mint and Sahara rooms at Mountain

the secretary of the Association. All those who wish to witness the ballot tabulation are invited to attend the meeting

QUALIFIED
DEPENDABLE
PRACTICAL
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE
Unlike golf there is no full-ﬂedged committee of
residents to oversee ﬁtness centers, pools, racquet sports
and other recreational activities. This important part of
our Sun City life style needs a platform where there is more
accountability and residents’ concerns are adequately
addressed. In order to accomplish this goal, I’d like to
establish a committee of residents with active participation
from our varied recreational areas of interest. Like all other
committees, it would have published monthly meetings and
report to the Board of Directors.
I may be a new name for many of you since this is my ﬁrst time running for your Board of Directors but
I’m not new to Sun City. Julie, my wife of 52 years, and I retired here 7 years ago and love the community
and the active life style. I support the current Board and committees and their efforts in continuing to make
Sun City a great and affordable place to live. As a retired small business owner I will bring management
experience plus a practical, common sense approach to projects and problem solving. Currently I am
president of a sub-association, Fairway View Drive HOA, and my ability and drive to get things done have
served the residents well. I believe I will be a good addition to an already effective and well-managed Board
of Directors. For your consideration here are my qualiﬁcations to serve on the Board:
· 10 years as National Sales Manager for Melitta Coffee
· 34 years as a small business owner responsible for all aspects of running a business. These
businesses include:
5 years as a plumbing contractor (10 employees)
13 years as a subcontractor for many builders in Florida including Del Webb’s Sun City near
Tampa (over 55 employees plus subcontractors)
15 years as a consultant for federal and state safety and health regulations (my wife, son and I)
· 4 years as President of Fairway Drive HOA plus 2 prior years as a board member responsible for
ﬁnances including budgets and reserve funding.
· 2 years as President of the Euchre Club (resigned 12/31/14)
Since I am 76 years old I can’t bring NEW blood to the Board of Directors. I can bring NEW energy and
NEW ideas. I am a team player, not a follower. I am a “do-er”. While I support current good ideas I am
always open to new ones. I encourage resident participation in community activities and am always
interested in suggestions for improvements.
I promise to work hard to represent your interests. If you’d like to contact me
my phone number is 702-256-1944 and my email address is [email protected].
I WANT TO SERVE ON YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND I AM ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE.

Spotlight On: Cheryl Dunham, WateRobics
“I wanted to express my gratitude for the WateRobics Club.
It has helped me tremendously,” wrote Sun City resident
Cheryl Dunham about her positive experience with one of
the Association’s chartered, tness-related clubs.
“I have Ankylosing Spondylosis, which is a degenerative disc disease that causes hip, knee and ankle tendon
pain. e pain was very bad for over 10 months prior to
(me) going to WateRobics. I was using (4) 650 milligrams
of Tylenol three times a day. After joining and exercising
only a few days, I was able to cut that dose to only (3) 650
milligrams twice a day, and now after about eight weeks of
the exercise I’ve been able to cut the dose to only (2) 650
milligrams twice a day. e pain is almost totally gone, just
have some stiﬀness now.
“I couldn’t go for walks or hikes, which are things I love
to do, and now I am able to walk to and from the Sun
Shadows community center a couple of times a week. I still
can’t push it or I get pain again. I’ve also hiked at Red Rock
Canyon, and LV Wetlands Park without much problem.
“So THANK YOU so much for this program. I would
recommend this to everyone who suﬀers with pain. I just
love it.”

Audrey Smith: Ms. Senior Nevada Puts Focus on Talented Youth
~ By Stu Gershon/Link
In addition to capturing the title of Ms. Senior Nevada, Audrey Smith took home the award for Most Talented for singing, dancing
and playing the piano during the 2014 pageant.
A
udrey Smith has lived in Sun City for just over
two years, although she has lived in the Las Vegas
Valley since 1990 with stops in Phoenix, Ariz. Audrey is a native of New York state, but came to us almost 25
years ago as a well-trained teacher in elementary education.
While teaching, Audrey pursued many of her talents as a
pianist, an actor, a dancer and a singer.
Audrey was nominated and selected for “Who’s Who
Among American Teachers,” and has been beloved by her
students wherever she taught. She kept her students’ interest
by having them perform, some in class productions and some
in school-wide plays and musicals. She has written and produced two student-oriented musicals, “ e Halloween Mis ts”
and “ e Mischievous Bugs,” which were both published as
children’s musicals and books. “ e Halloween Mis ts” even
won a national award in the children’s category at the annual
Halloween Book Festival in 2011 in Hollywood, Calif.
Audrey is currently preparing for retirement as a teacher
(she’ll never completely quit, but she will stop teaching) and
will produce some of these programs into school-wide,
after-school productions at the nearby Lummis Elementary
School in Summerlin. She also plans to assist her daughter
Stephanie Koons, who is a kindergarten teacher at Lummis.
28 · LINK · FEBRUARY 2015
Not one to sit around and relax, Audrey has formed a
company called Audrey Productions, LLC, where she
teaches musical theater, tap dance and gives piano lessons to
children. She has performed in community theater and dancing, and will be joining our own Sun City Dance Company,
of which her sister Kate is a longtime member.
Last May, close to her 60th birthday, Audrey was encouraged to take part in the annual Nevada State Pageant that was
held at the South Point. To her surprise, Audrey received
the award for Most Talented and the overall championship
title of Ms. Senior Nevada. is was her rst experience in
any kind of pageant, and she sang, played the piano and
danced to the overall appreciation of the entire audience.
Audrey next went on to represent our state in the annual
Ms. Senior U.S.A. Pageant held in Atlantic City, N.J., in
October. Although she didn’t win, Audrey found the pageant to be “a most enlightening experience.”
Because her rst delight is to work with children, Audrey says she wants to focus on Audrey Productions and help
to develop the talents of the students at Lummis Elementary
and, maybe, all around Las Vegas. She also wants to spend
more time with her two beloved grandchildren, Ryan, almost
2 years old, and her new granddaughter Scarlett, 7 months.

the assistance they get from concerned neighbors helping
neighbors.
In a recent month, Security Patrol drivers stopped their
cars 261 times after dark to knock on residents’ front doors,
alerting them that their garage doors had been left open.
We’ll never know how many times the Patrol, in having a
garage door secured, may have prevented a burglary. Patrol
volunteers also checked the outsides of 456 homes for vacationing residents. While doing those house checks they discovered unlocked windows and doors, and had them secured. No one can measure the bad things that did not happen because of the Patrol’s vigilance.
Security Patrol dispatchers encourage residents to call
254-2303 to report anything they might see or hear that
alarms them. Call if you see a strange car parked in your
neighbor’s driveway when you know they are not at home.
Never hesitate to alert the dispatcher to anything you see
that doesn’t seem right to you. If nothing is wrong we’ll all
be happy.
In one month, Security Patrol drivers traveled 14,128
miles along every street in Sun City Summerlin.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Canasta Club
Club President Is Club's Secret Weapon
Left: Canasta Club President Linda Collins and club member
Carol Sage. Above: 2015 Canasta Club officers, from left,
Darlene Vaturi, vice president; Jolene Michaels, treasurer;
Susan Katunis, secretary; Linda Collins, president.
Forty people and counting. That's about the number of
new members Canasta Club President Linda Colllins
says have signed up during her first year. Linda took the
helm in 2014 with the pledge of, “I'm going to fill up this
room.” And that's exactly what she set about doing.
The task began last January, when Linda started
holding free lessons at Mountain Shadows.
“I have taught 63 people since January,” Linda said.
We worked really hard at the beginning of the year,
following up with couples who took lessons, signing
them up and attending the club night at Desert Vista.
From there, it was a lot of word of mouth, and we would
see people coming back. Every Monday we would have
new people showing up for lessons.”
As the year progressed and new faces became
visible around the room, many members began to
comment on Linda's patience and overall commitment to
the Club. If there was a table that needed a sub, Linda
was there to fill in. If new members had general
questions, needed directions around the community or
had trouble getting their membership card, Linda was
there to offer assistance.
“I'm a retired math teacher. I used to teach junior
high, so these little old ladies didn't scare me,” Linda
said with a broad smile as her Canasta table
companions looked on. One member sitting to Linda's
left, Carol Sage, fired back: “She's such an expert
teacher. The Club is what it is because of her. It's about
respect, and Linda really cares.”
To show their appreciation for all her hard work, Canasta
Club members took up what was supposed to be a little
collection to say thank you to their president for a busy,
productive year. What resulted was a generous gift that
knocked Linda's socks off. The presentation was made
during the Club's holiday party in December.
“I was shocked. I wasn't expecting anything like that.
I don't know how they did that under my nose, but they
did. And I appreciate it very much,” Linda said.
The Canasta Club plays cards every Thursday from 6
to 9 p.m. in the High Sierra Room at Mountain Shadows.
Lessons are held on Mondays at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. For
more information, call 912-1615.
