From the Editor

BY JOAN S. PECK

I’m delighted to serve as the new Editor in Chief for Chic Compass Magazine. With the recent transition of Carolyn Muse Grant relocating to beautiful North Carolina and taking on the role of Managing Editor, we all will still be a family of creatives to help bring the best of Las Vegas and beyond to our readers.

As a writer, I’m always curious to see how all of us use words to describe where a person is in life—what they are doing, saying, and thinking. We’ve reached a time in living where words are often used negatively, so it is a pleasure to bring you a bit of fresh air and offer you stories from the heart without rancor.

In this issue, we have expanded our multi-talented writers’ staff, and they have done an outstanding job in portraying all that is going on today in our city and beyond. We continue to include articles about travel, food, fashion, music, design, and artists.

As you read each piece in this issue, I believe you will realize as I do how very blessed we are to live in a world filled with so many inspiring people, events, and opportunities.

In this edition, we travel to Paris, learn the status of the fabulous Smith Center and Performing Arts, discover a new exciting supper club, give you an insightful look at some talented musicians making a difference in the world, and so many more fascinating stories. We also give you a helpful insight into the world of financial planning in these tumultuous times.

We thought the front cover, created by the very talented Katarzyna Kociomyk, was a perfect reflection of what life is like for so many folks at this time of uncertainty.

Of course, we cannot forget our beautiful fashion spread, featuring the talented Jaime Lim. We will give you some fashion ideas about what to wear before and after COVID. Our goal is to provide you a moment of solitude to sit back and read about some folks who are working diligently to navigate through the storm by helping those in need along the way.

We can’t wait for you to see what we have waiting for you inside this current edition. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did to create it for you.
