Our August issue is dedicated to the cutest members of our community— kids and pets. They both have a way of making us feel special and their loyalty and sense of wonder is refreshing. In this issue, we are highlighting impressive youth who are dreaming big dreams and reaching for their goals, as well those in our community that are making a difference. We also wanted to share a few of our go-to spots to enjoy with your kids and furry-kids. Check out the Local Experiences section for some cool, tasty ideas. Summer always flies by, but before summer comes to a close and the start of school commences, we hope you are able to take some time to just relax and to spend quality time with family and the ones you love. We love seeing you around the community! See you soon,

Keeping Peace At All Costs Andy Moulton keeps people safe. From working as a bouncer when a teenager, serving his community as a police officer, training protection dogs and contracting protective services overseas, Andy has spent his life protecting others. Six years ago, he combined his vast repertoire of skills with those of other law enforcement professionals and military veterans to form Peacemaker Defense Group. Based in St. Louis, with locations in Florida, Georgia and California, the company boasts more than 80 years of combined experience in military, federal and local law enforcement, diplomatic security services, Special Forces and private security. Since 2016, Peacemaker Defense Group teams successfully have protected clients and their assets all over the world with professional security services, including security planning and consulting, residential and professional guard patrols, executive protection, armored and secure transportation, security consulting, protective service details and specialized canine services. “A lot of times people see security details in the movies, and they don’t realize how relevant it is to their own daily lives,” says Andy. “The reality is, if you have something

someone wants, they are going to come after you. Our job is to think of what could happen before it happens, and ensure that it doesn’t happen.” Andy says his services also extend to travel security, including reacting to natural disasters, acts of terrorism or general flat-out crime. “It’s all-encompassing. We protect every aspect of your life.” And while Andy certainly caters to highnet-worth individuals, such as corporate executives, movie stars, musicians and wealthy families, his protective services extend to typical men and women as well.

The Peacemaker client is not part of any specific demographic, claims Andy. “They are all proud Americans from all walks of life.” And while many do, not all of his clientele have deep pockets, he says. “It's not all about millionaires. Some individuals take $200 courses to give them insight for safety. I have clients who are ladies who work at gas stations and need service dogs.” Peacemaker offers shooting courses at its gun range in Pacific, Missouri. It trains police officers and offers medical, first aid and tactical courses for anyone. Peacemaker consultants design security plans by analyzing threats, risks and vulnerabilities at any private home or business. An overall security plan might include something as simple as increasing lighting around the exterior of a home or business or something as extreme as installing a 20-foot fence around a perimeter. The business or family may need a 24-hour security detail or a trained protective dog. The personal protection dog or Peacemaker K9 is “a refined tool that adds more to an individual’s or businesses security plan,” Andy says. “Depending on the level of training, people can travel with a dog instead of one of us.” Peacemaker acquires dog breeds in Holland known to be loyal, protective working dogs, such as German and Dutch Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Giant Schnauzers. Peacemaker dogs are deployed around the globe in numerous protection capacities, from privately owned family protection dogs to police and military special warfare dogs.
The Peacemaker K9 is confident, clear-headed, highly intelligent, socially affectionate and of stable temperament with character formed through professional training. “They are high caliber dogs developed and raised with intent and purpose,” - Andy Moulton.

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | PR OF E S S I ONAL S E RVI CE S
Fully trained, Andy says the Peacemaker K9 can cost anywhere from $35,000 to $140,000. That two-year training process includes ongoing relationships between Peacemaker, its customers and the dogs. Andy says the Peacemaker K9 is confident, clearheaded, highly intelligent, socially affectionate and of stable temperament with character formed through professional training. “They are high caliber dogs developed and raised with intent and purpose,” he adds. Pet services offered at Peacemaker’s training facility in Pacific also are for anyone trying to achieve a positive, happy and well-behaved dog though, Andy says. The firm offers six-week boarding and training, which includes multiple training sessions per day, as well as socialization, leash and house manners and basic obedience sessions. Canine services offered include: site protection, aggression/acquisition, explosive detection, drug detection and search and rescue.
Andy says 85 percent of Peacemaker employees are former law enforcement and veterans. He says along with partner, Alex Ivy, — a veteran Marine, who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan — he seeks to serve people. “We're creating good jobs for people who've given so much to their country. We're utilizing their particular skill sets in positive ways. We're a very proud American company with Midwest values. It’s always been about helping people. That’s the goal. If I don’t do it, someone’s going to do it the wrong way, causing havoc and chaos and taking money from people. It’s about doing the right thing and sticking to those core Midwest values.” 877.236.7805 PeacemakerDefenseGroup.com

Roots To Heal And Grow “MARYGROVE IS HERE FOR KIDS WHO NEVER GAVE UP, WHEN THEIR PARENTS GAVE UP ON THEM” ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON
“I don’t want that to define me. I want you to know me as the girl who’s improved, not the girl who is stuck, not the abused little girl that I was. I am the girl that’s going to college.” Allison’s words did not fall on deaf ears. The Marygrove Independent Living Program Resident and recipient of the 2021 Eagan Scholarship Award spoke them to a packed banquet room at Marygrove’s 2022 BLOOM fundraising event at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis in early March. Allison was nine when she came to Marygrove. A child scarred by abuse, she says she had begun to lose hope and even contemplated ending her life. But Allison found a safe place at Marygrove—a place that enabled her to build a life wholly different from and in spite of her past. “I thought that no one was going to help me, and I was wrong. If I could tell my little 9-year-old self something, I would tell her to keep going. So, thank you—all of you… for me, you’ve done enough.” Allison is now working and attending Ranken Technical College with the goal of obtaining a degree in electrical systems and becoming a line worker for a utility company. She told attendees of BLOOM: “Marygrove is here for the kids that never gave up, when their parents gave up on them." Just $18 provides a birthday cake for a Marygrove-associated foster child. Fifty dollars pays for a safe home for a day. Five
hundred and thirty-nine dollars provides two weeks of healthy meals for two kids, and $1,010 will cover the cost of five therapy sessions for two kids. But attendees of the BLOOM event didn’t stop there. When all was said and done, they dug deep and raised more than $575,000 to support the Florissant, Missouri-based nonprofit. Marygrove's Therapeutic Residential Treatment Program provides homes to 90 kids each day in its six residential "cottages." The money raised at BLOOM ensures these kids continue to have a safe home, food, education, health care and all of their basic needs met. For 170-plus years, Marygrove has been a place where children, youth and families have found hope and healing. Their motto is simple: “Sharing the love of Jesus Christ, Marygrove provides a safe home, compassionate care, and high-quality mental health services to children who have experienced significant trauma, to restore their childhood, and equip them for their future.” Founded in 1849 as the House of Good Shepherd, a St. Louis Home for girls, Marygrove is now a $12-million nonprofit organization and one of eight federated agencies of Catholic Charities of St. Louis. Young people who come to Marygrove are often struggling with debilitating emotional and behavioral issues resulting from abuse, neglect and other trauma. CONTINUED > AUGUST 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / C L AY TO N

They have in most cases endured multiple failed placements at other organizations, cycled through foster homes, or even survived failed adoptions. Many come from severely disruptive family situations. Some have even been discharged from psychiatric hospitals directly to Marygrove. Marygrove caregivers indicate: “The emotional toll a severely dysfunctional and aberrant family can have on a child cannot be underestimated. Where nurturing, love and security are necessary for stable psychological and emotional growth, our children have experienced the neglect of primal needs. They have become victims, due to their environments, and have developed profound emotional, detachment and trust issues manifesting as just the tip of what lies below. Most of our youth are diagnosed with behavioral and psychiatric disorders as a result of abuse, neglect, abandonment and other trauma. Without Marygrove, most of our children would have few, if any, alternatives for housing and face life on the street, in prison, or in an institution.” “It’s not enough to tell a child they are safe,” auctioneer Fletcher Lane told bidders at the BLOOM event. “At Marygrove, they must feel safe, too. Our kids deserve to feel safe. Don’t they?” His comments were followed by two attendees bidding $25,615 to Marygrove—an amount that provides one-week around-the-clock essential care for 120 children living on the Marygrove campus. “The ultimate goal of true nonprofit service work is to help create a world that no longer needs us,” says Marygrove CEO Michael Meehan, Ph.D. "The last few years have been extraordinarily difficult for so many industries, and nonprofit agencies like Marygrove, whose work centers on providing 24-hour care to youth in foster care, have been among those hit the hardest. Perhaps at no time in my 35-plus years in the field have we needed the support of our donors more than we do now in our work to provide healing and hope to some of Missouri's most vulnerable children."

As one of the largest therapeutic residential treatment programs in Missouri, Marygrove and professional caregivers provide compassion, encouragement and structure, while licensed masters-level therapists offer individualized treatment plans and counseling to children there. Many of the children who arrive at Marygrove do so with immediate needs—things such as clean clothes, food and medical treatment. They arrive without the most basic belief that they will have a bed, a meal, clean clothes or safety. “Each child comes with a heartbreaking personal story,” Marygrove representatives report. “Marygrove enriches the lives of nearly 700 young people each year, ages birth-21, through a broad continuum of residential and community-based programming and wraparound services, including therapeutic residential treatment and foster care, transitional and independent living, special education and recreational therapy, family counseling, and parenting education.” Marygrove uses trauma-informed care and a positive youth development framework to help mitigate adverse childhood experiences while preventing future homelessness and trauma. Eighty-five percent of Marygrove youth are homeless or are wards of the state. Ninety-five percent live under the federal poverty line. Eighty-five percent have severe mental health issues, 30 percent have experienced failed adoptions, and 85 percent have survived abuse, physical or emotional trauma. Last year, 242 staff members served 674 young people from 120 counties in Missouri and Illinois, on Marygrove’s 43-acre campus (2705 Mullanphy Lane, Florissant, Missouri 63031) overlooking the bluffs of the Missouri River. 314.830.6201 MarygroveChildren.org

Burns Recovered SUPPORTERS HELP BURN SURVIVORS LIVE WITHOUT LIMITATIONS, FEAR OR INSECURITY
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED FROM BURNS RECOVERED Starting within a St. John's Mercy Hospital Burn Unit in 1983, a small group of dedicated volunteers began to make positive differences in the lives of burn and smoke inhalation survivors and their families. As a steadfast nonprofit, Burns Recovered, the group's three staffers operate in partnership with health care facilities to provide hope and support to survivors. "We specifically assist during patients' recoveries, and we promote community education about burn injuries and prevention," says Carrie Warren, Burns Recovered executive director.
32
I NSP IR E D BY | WEL L NESS
Carrie says programming eventually was expanded to continue beyond hospital stays and to serve survivors statewide. She says they formulate individualized and group peer support for burn survivors; provide housing support for families during the hospitalization of burn survivors; host a retreat regarding the special needs of young adult burn survivors, ages 18-25; provide a scholarship fund for burn survivors; and organize a holiday giving program for burn survivors and their families. One of the group's flagship programs is Midwest Children’s Burn Camp, which provides unique summer camp experiences for children who have survived severe burns and smoke inhalation.
"Burns Recovered is funded entirely through the generous donations of individuals and business entities who believe in our mission. Our camps, retreats, programs, and services would not exist without donations," Carrie says. The nonprofit is supported by an 18-member volunteer board of directors. In 2021, Carrie says the Midwest Children’s Burn Camp was accredited by the American Camp Association, the only nationwide accrediting organization for all types and designs of organized camps. In 2022, Burns Recovered was awarded the Judith Schubert Scholarship from the Crisis Prevention Institute, she adds.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE GROUP INCLUDE: • Fill the Boot/Firefighter and EMS partnerships • Midwest Children’s Burn Camp • Peer Supporter (burn survivor) • Special Events (trivia night, picnics, holiday party, bowling) • Business operations and marketing • Event planning and coordination Carrie says donations can be financial or in-kind items. She says corporate and individual sponsorships are critical to the nonprofit's future programs, particularly sponsors who support the group's annual fundraising special events, such as a trivia night and golf scramble. Additionally, cabin counselors are recruited each year for the burn camp. Counselors must be at least 21 years of age and counselors-in-training must be at least 18, relays Carrie.

BAR K TAKES THE “DOG PARK” CONCEPT TO WHOLE NEW LEVEL
A DOG BAR? It’s a dog utopia…plenty of furry friends, live music, special treats, spa services, a rock wall, splash area, puppy parties, yoga and more! Bar K St. Louis, in The Grove, is a unique new destination featuring a bar, restaurant, event space and dog park. Owners Leib Dodell and Dave Hensley had a vision to create a place where people and their dogs could co-exist in a fun, entertaining and creative environment. More than just a dog park, it would be an entire pet-friendly community that offers a great food and beverage experience, and provides a one-of-akind experience for humans and dogs.

The St. Louis location, at 4565 McRee Ave., in the Botanical Heights neighborhood, opened on Nov. 19, 2021, roughly four years after Leib and Dave started the first Bar K Lab pop-up in Kansas City, Missouri. Leib says Bar K is all about bringing dogs and people together in a fun, joyful and safe way in any kind of weather. People can use it as a shared work space, where you work while your dog is being fully supervised by trained doghandlers to keep everything safe and clean; you can get your work done while they’re having fun. Neither co-owner had worked previously in the restaurant or pet industry. Leib says they were just two dog owners who noticed an opportunity to improve upon the dog park experience. Bar K features a 2-acre, fully-staffed outdoor dog park plus a 10,000-square-foot staffed indoor dog park, three bars and a restaurant for the pup’s owners, The Seresto Stage for live entertainment, Doggie DayCamp, boarding, grooming and training. There also are adoption events every weekend. Leib says that aside from potty training, socialization might be the most important thing you and your new pup do together. That's why they created Puppies Night Out, held on Thursdays 6-8 p.m. Puppies’ Night Out is an opportunity to get new puppies (age 3 to 9 months) some much needed socialization. Trainers from Kennelwood Pet Resort are on site to give training tips and answer questions about new pups' behaviors. The weekly event is free for members. For guests, it’s $10 for the first dog, and $5 for each additional dog in the pack. The restaurant at Bar K serves freshly made food that incorporates local ingredients and serves locally brewed beers. Menu items include Chicken Avocado Sandwich and Roasted Broccoli with Cranberries and Feta. But it not only caters to its human patrons…Bar K’s cooks work with nutritionists from Purina to offer healthy and tasty menu items for dogs, like "Turkey and Sweet Potato Meatballs," as well as “Doggie Flights” that allow dogs to sample three entrees of their choice. The St. Louis location also offers “Stay at Bar K,” which offers dog daycare, training and grooming. To visit Bar K is free for humans. For those bringing a dog, entry is $10 for the first dog ($15 on Saturdays/ Sundays) and $5 for each additional dog. Annual or monthly memberships are available, too. 314.530.9990 BarkDogBar.com

Laguna Beach

This month, our City Lifestyle community of luxury travel enthusiasts are thrilled to collaborate with Visit Laguna Beach to present a breathtaking view into this idyllic West Coast artist community. Plus, together, we have created an exclusive GIVEAWAY opportunity to win a 2-night trip for two. Get ready to experience the upscale and creative culture alongside the lively, yet quirky personality of Laguna Beach!

Ente r for a chance to win a geta way to Laguna Beach! Read on for details.
When it comes to prestigious travel hospitality, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is highly regarded by luxury and discerning travel authorities such as Conde Nast, Forbes, and Travel & Leisure for its congenial service, elevated ambiance and reputable guest experience. The upscale, outdoor wellness offerings range from the uniquely designed 9-hole golf course within the canyon setting to the full-time farmer facilitating outstanding local dishes offered on the original homestead of Laguna Beach. With a strong focus on sustainability, the property centers itself on earth-friendly practices such as linecaught seafood from neighboring coves, genuine farm to table ingredients from the Harvest Garden (which guests can tour), recycled glass and composting that return to the sand and dirt on site, and other sustainability measures. When it comes to feasting on the local fare, resident restaurant and bar, Harvest, focuses on organic farming for seasonal breakfast, lunch and dinner options. It boasts beautiful 180-degree views of Aliso Canyon as well as craft cocktails to sip and savor while overlooking the first tee of the golf course. Or, if sand beneath your feet is more your dining style, make the short walk to Aliso beach where you will
find Lost Pier, an elevated eatery serving the likes of warm beignets and coffee in the morning, and ceviche, shrimp rolls and fisherman’s catch fish tacos for lunch. And what would the Laguna Beach culture be without all of the seaside activities? Kayaking, snorkeling and diving, whale and dolphin watching, SUP—you name it, you can experience it. In fact, Laguna Beach is not only the top place in the world to shore dive, but their dolphin community is larger than Florida, Hawaii and the Caribbean combined, thanks to their marine protection program enlisted years ago that attracts marine life to the calm waters and rich kelp to feed on. Take a two-hour guided kayak tour and visit Seal Rock for more sealife observation. Throughout your stay, you of course will want to make your way into town for endless entertainment options of “Laguna flavor.” Visit the community theater, The Laguna Playhouse, where Harrison Ford got his start. Hop on a free trolley and pop from brewpub Laguna Beach Beer Company pouring locally made craft beer, to one of two wine-tasting rooms where McClain Cellars serves award-winning wines from Santa Ynez Valley. Complement your thirst with a variety of cuisines among more than 100 restaurants to choose from. Local favorites include The Royal Hawaiian Fire Grill CONTINUED > AUGUST 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / C L AY TO N

for a twist on Hawaiian flavors in a tiki-style venue, Las Brisas for its incredible brunch menu and scenic views of Laguna’s Heisler Park overlooking cliffs that resemble the French Riviera, Broadway by Amar Santana for some of the most elevated cuisine you will find from a multi-Top Chef finalist, along with cocktails crafted seasonally by the restaurant’s mixologist. Lastly, The Cliff Restaurant offers one of the best views in the area with all outdoor eating and delicious tacos. Depending on the time of year you visit, you’ll find a wide selection of live music and festivals. Two notable summer festivals include the Pageant of the Masters where famous paintings come to life…literally on human bodies that pose to look like counterparts in the originals, as well as the Sawdust Art & Craft Festival with a focus on locally made crafts. You’ll also find live music at many of the restaurants around town, including Mozambique and The Cliff Restaurant, perfect places to relax and enjoy after exploring the area’s abundant art galleries. Take advantage of First Thursday’s Art Walk year round, often including live paintings and musicians, dance performances and gorgeous art you won’t find anywhere else. Take the free trolleys from gallery to gallery, and be sure to include the Laguna Art Museum, the second oldest museum in the state of California, specializing in California-themed art and artists. A special component to the Laguna Beach art scene is its foundation on ‘en plein air’ paintings, the outdoor painting style that Monet made famous. Every year the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational attracts painters from around the country to participate in a week’s worth of events, including a two-hour challenge of live painting. In short, Laguna Beach is seven miles of coves and beaches uniquely its own with breathtaking cliffs and recreational canyons and a hippy-loving-self-expression-embracing artist colony that you won’t want to miss in this lifetime.

CREATING INDIVIDUAL BIRTHDAY MEMORIES CELEBRATIONS FOR CHILDREN, YOUTH IN SHELTERS ARE HONORED BY VOLUNTEERS OF LOCAL NONPROFIT

O UR TOWN | ENTERTA INME NT
Creating fun, memorable birthday experiences for toddlers, children and young adults in homeless and domestic violence shelters is the mission of St. Louis metropolitan-based volunteers spearheaded by "Chief Birthday Officer" Rolanda Finch. As founder of It’s Your Birthday, Inc., Rolanda says the group is proud of how individualized they've been able to make each recipient's birthday. "We believe all children should have a happy birthday, no matter their situation. Our goal is to ensure each child, and sometimes also a parent, feels special. Help from communities surely helps that happen." The group works through St. Louis area school districts, homeless facilities and domestic violence shelters, in addition to

similar charitable shelters in Cape Girardeau, Hannibal and Springfield. Rolanda says they assist with children 1 to 22 years old. On average, 15 to 25 birthdays are acknowledged or fulfilled each month. Since being launched in 2014, Rolanda says there have been nearly 1,700 memories created through this nonprofit. "Children in shelters are very confused, IYBI helps bring a sense of normalcy during this time in their young lives," she adds. In observance of the nonprofit's eighth 'organizational birthday' during September, the following are eight ways to assist the group: • Participate in IYBI fundraisers, such as toy drives, or donate new toys for birthday boxes. • Sponsor a Birthday-in-a-Box ($150 value) for a shelter or mom to provide the birthday memory to her child. • Cover the cost of a mom or shelter to shop for a child’s birthday gift from a curated Amazon Wish List. • Fund gifts for new moms who give birth while in shelters. • Create from-scratch birthday cards and inspirational cards, which is a great way for a group, such as Girl Scouts, to complete a project together. (No personal names, group titles or details should be included by creators.) • Provide $15 fast food gift cards or hygiene products/personal care items for older recipients. • Volunteer as small group or individual to help organize IYBI office, either administratively or toy/box reasons. • Sponsor a Birthday Surprise ($50 value) or other specific initiative. Rolanda says with a bit of training, volunteers also can become "Birthday Heroes," who represent the nonprofit as the primary contact with a designated shelter and who plan birthday options for each child. "We also are seeking new board members," she adds. "The laughter and smiles we create are priceless." Donations can be mailed to P.O. Box 2222, Florissant, MO 63033; picked up by scheduled volunteers; physically dropped off at the Its Your Birthday office, 2900 Frank Scott Parkway, Suite 968B, Belleville, IL 62223. Additionally, checks or cash can be mailed to apply toward purchasing birthday treats. (Pssst, Sept. 14 is Rolanda's birthday, so that will be an extra special month all around.) info@itsyourbirthdayinc.org 314.623.8301 ItsYourBirthdayInc.org AUGUST 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

Mid-Summer Investment Ideas Summer’s here, and the time is right for vacations, outdoor activities, and fun. It’s also a good time to consider a few financial matters. Here are some questions to ask yourself mid-year. •
Goals still the same for 2022? Has market volatility affected your goals? Note any changes since the first of the year that may warrant reviewing your goals?
•
Credit Score looking good? Double-check your credit score for any red flags. This can be a good way to catch issues like identity theft early.
•
•
Contributions on track? Consider increasing your contributions to any personal or workplace-sponsored savings plans if it suits your goals. Scheduled spending still make sense? Look at any impacts you’ve felt due to market volatility. Do your plans for the rest of the year align with reality?
If these tips have you thinking, please feel free to reach out. We are happy to discuss your financial picture at summertime or any time.
