As the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, can you believe summer is around the corner? With the promise of warmer weather and sunny skies on the horizon, it’s time to embrace all the excitement that comes with the season. In this edition of our magazine, we have an array of captivating stories, events, and features that are sure to pique your interest and get you ready for the months ahead.
On our cover, we shine the spotlight on Sarah Stoddard, a remarkable individual who juggles roles in both the medical and acting fields with effortless grace. Her story is one of ambition, passion, and the pursuit of excellence.
In our previous issue, we featured NOMAD on our cover, and this time, we couldn’t resist sharing the inspiring tale of his wife, Danyelle Sanders, also known as Lola. Her journey is one of resilience and determination, serving as a testament to the power of perseverance.
Community events play a vital role in bringing people together and fostering a sense of belonging. In this issue, we highlight some upcoming events that hold a special place in our hearts, including the City of Santa Clarita’s Cowboy Festival, the 51st Annual Frontier Toyota Henry Mayo Golf Classic, and a Mother’s Day Event that celebrates the women who mean the world to us.

We also take a closer look at organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita, shedding light on the invaluable work they do for the kids in our town.
We also feature PAC 6 Painters. They are six dedicated painters of the beauty and grandeur of all things that have to do with American landscape, the artists share a love of the wild outdoors.
We feature dynamic individuals like Liz and Jim Seipel, whose entrepreneurial spirit and innovative approach have made them stand out in their field. And speaking of professionals, our Meet the Professional segment introduces readers to Josh Abramson of ALLBRIGHT PAINTING, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their craft.
Looking for a unique experience? Our Great Escape feature takes you inside the Minus5 Ice Bar in Las Vegas, offering a frosty retreat from the summer heat.
No edition would be complete without a nod to our local history, and Carol Rock delivers once again with her insightful SCV History column. Plus, Larry McClements shares a delicious recipe for bruschetta in his column, perfect for summer gatherings and outdoor picnics.
And of course, we can’t forget about the ultimate awards, where we honor the medical professionals who go above and beyond to keep our community healthy and thriving.
