AS CLICHÉ AS IT MAY BE, TIME REALLY DOES FLY WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN! We can’t believe we’ve put together the final issue of North Scottsdale Lifestyle in 2019! The time has come to relish in the holiday season, reflect on this past year and enjoy time with those we love. There’s a unique perspective that working in publishing brings. While we certainly don’t want to wish our lives away, we’re always looking toward the future. Whether it’s planning our next issue or developing story ideas for the next year, we’re often pushed into future months before the current month has even begun.

important mission was, and still is, rewarding. “The care and work that goes into planning a wonderful event is inspiring and knowing the benefits it brings to families and the house are very important. It’s an honor to serve the families and the community by now being the Gala Chairman.” On a personal note, Chris shares an experience he had meeting one of the families in the Phoenix house, and how it taught him so much about strength. “Recently I spoke with a family that was staying at the house for the fourth time receiving scheduled treatment as part of their child’s road to recovery. I am always inspired by the strength that I see in the children and the comfort the house, volunteers and staff bring to the families.” A board meeting at Ronald McDonald House charities starts with a meaningful mission that will surely carry through in the Gala and fundraising efforts for 2019-20. The Board invites someone from the house to come in and share his or her story. This keeps the Board centered in their work, and it reminds them of the good fortune they have to engage with these families. “The first family I met was from Tennessee and was here on a ‘babymoon.’ The wife went into labor early and they

HOLIDAY HOT SPOT GUIDE DINING DURING THE MOST FESTIVE TIME OF THE YEAR

GOOD FOOD MEANS A GOOD TIME WHEN GOING OUT ON THE TOWN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Whether going to see holiday lights, or delighting in the beautiful Arizona weather with a local staycation, there are several dining options that are steeped in Scotch Library

festive ambiance and delicious holiday fare.Â

North Scottsdale Lifestyle | December 2019

SCOTCH LIBRARY Scotch Library is located within the luxurious Westin Kierland Resort & Spa. It is best known for providing both aficionados and those new to the world of Scotch with the opportunity to select from more than 300 different labels poured by Scotch Ambassadors in a refined atmosphere, rich in warmth and comfort. The bespoke Scotch Library is set against the backdrop of a floor-to-ceiling “library” of scotch whiskeys that includes more than 300 single malts, 30 blends and a number of rare bottles imported from all whiskey regions of Scotland. Director of Food & Beverage Jeff Barba said, “Developed with the intention of bringing people together around the allure of Scotch whisky, the Scotch Library is particularly primed for the holiday season as an intimate space where colleagues, friends, family and fellow imbibers alike may gather while enjoying a dram as they connect during the holidays.” Looking for a special way to enjoy Scotch Library at leisure? “The 100 Years of Dalmore” offers a flight comprised of The Dalmore 40-Year-Old, The Dalmore 35-Year-Old and The Dalmore 25-YearOld—poured as the perfect gift for the person looking for a truly inimitable experience. Additionally, the December Masters of Scotch Tasting Series features world-renowned brand ambassador Dan Crowel of Glenmorangie on the evening of Dec. 12. Priced at $65-plus per person, the tasting requires a reservation that may be made by calling 480.624.1202.

CARTWRIGHT’S MODERN CUISINE

Cartwrights

Cartwright’s offers a hyper-local take on modern cuisine. From the food to the hospitality, Cartwright’s is the perfect destination for enjoying a holiday dinner in Arizona. Chef Brett Vibber infuses his wide lens of flavors and methods into Cartwright’s unique menu. An Arizona native, Vibber’s own personal background brings authenticity to his work. Although Vibber has trained and worked all over the world, he says, “The dream was always moving back home to open a restaurant that focused on foraging wild and indigenous Arizona foods and put Arizona on the map as a destination for food and culinary culture.” Look for Chef Brett’s take on the holidays as he revisits some of his favorite childhood favorites done Cartwright’s style, such as bison and venison meatloaf with wild mushrooms and cherry sauce or locally raised pork that is housecured, then glazed with agave and brown sugar and served with a creamy cheddar potato casserole.

TOMMY BAHAMA RESTAURANT, BAR & STORE Looking for an outdoor patio with an upscale ambiance? Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar at Kierland Commons is a great place to enjoy exceptional food, signature cocktails and live music nightly. The casual, upbeat energy is experienced throughout the entire space from the patio on the first level to the dining rooms on the second story with floor to ceiling windows that open the space and take advantage of sweeping sunset views. The eclectic island-inspired menu features a variety of interesting appetizers and everything from market-fresh seafood to succulent steaks. A daily fresh sheet highlights the seasonâ€™s finest ingredients like the Spaghetti Squash & Shrimp Bowl with roasted mushrooms, lemon garlic broth, roasted corn salsa, Bloomsdale spinach, Parmigiano-Reggiano and cashew- pumpkin seed gremolata. The drinks are equally as important as the food and an extensive cocktail list provides an opportunity to try something truly original. For the holidays, the Coconut Eggnog Martini and Happy Huladays cocktail are a festive alternative that will put you in the spirit of the season. And finish your meal with luscious Pina Colada Cake or a flavorful Pineapple CrĂ¨me Brulee served in a hollowed-out pineapple. Indoor

TRAVEL DESTINATION

DEL MAR CALIFORNIA, THE IDEAL BEACH DESTINATION ONCE YOU’VE VISITED DEL MAR, CALIFORNIA, YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE OCEANSIDE VILLAGE’S NAME MEANS “OF THE SEA.” The Southern California town just 22 miles north of San Diego along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean offers a unique small-town atmosphere known for its beaches, natural landscape and breathtaking ocean views. As you drive up to the quaint A-frame house, you can smell the salt wafting in the cool breeze. The house, just steps from the Del Mar beach, features three bedrooms and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed to cook your own meals. The living room—with doors that lead straight out to the deck—is cozy, and the back porch—where you can smell the salt and hear the waves—is a great spot to soak up the ocean air. Each day, you can pack a wagon with a cooler, beach chairs, an umbrella and towels and walk down the seaside hill to enjoy the warm sand and crashing waves for the rest of the day. The neighborhood is pristine and children will love to stop and smell the flowers along a daily stroll. Within walking distance of food and activities in the historic Del Mar Village, you’ll find local shops, cafes, live music and exceptional oceanview dining, making this a great spot for anyone looking for a getaway with style and charm. If you want to venture a little further out, you’re just a short trip up the coast from San Diego attractions like Seaworld and the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Safari Park. If what you’re looking for is the unique and quaint atmosphere of a historic beach town immersed in Southern California culture, Del Mar is the place to be. 32

LOCAL LIMELIGHT WHILE THERE ARE MANY SUCCESSFUL WAYS TO RAISE MONEY FOR CHARITY, THERE IS OFTEN LITTLE EFFORT MADE TO LOOK OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR FRESH CONCEPTS THAT COULD YIELD TREMENDOUS RESULTS. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale (BGCS) recently tapped into an uncommon method of fundraising when the owners of a 15,000 square-foot Paradise Valley estate decided to downsize and donate their luxury pieces to help their favorite charity. The BGCS talked to numerous auction companies with little success. Finally, a board member with a knack for fine goods recommended contacting Darlene Richert, the owner of Scottsdale luxury consignment store Avery Lane. Taking a huge leap of faith, Darlene accepted all of the donated items and was able to raise $60,000 for the BGCS. “Collaborating with local charities is something Avery Lane does on a regular basis so this was right up our alley. We have a loyal customer, Mark Bosco, who is an attorney and happens to be the Chairman of the Board for the Boys &

Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale. He knew about this large donation from a major estate and that the Board was weighing various options to sell the items and raise money for the charities. They had discussed estate sales and auctions, but he convinced them that Avery Lane and consignment would be more lucrative for the charity. Avery Lane put together a proposal to accept all the items and showcase them to our affluent clientele over a 90-120 day period. We also actively marketed the charity’s pieces to our top designers and luxury realtors. We included the transportation of the items to our showroom and Avery Lane donated a portion of the moving fees to make it a seamless venture for the charity,” says the owner of Avery Lane, Darlene Richert. A few of the items that were most notable within the sale, included two large black ornately carved curio cabinets close to 10 feet tall by the designer, Marge Carson, that sold for approximately $5,000

due to their unavailable status in the marketplace.

“THE PROCEEDS TOTALED OVER $60,000 WHICH WAS FAR MORE THAN WOULD HAVE BEEN GENERATED IN ANY OF THE OTHER AVENUES. WE WERE SO PROUD TO WRITE THOSE CHECKS EACH MONTH AND WE IMAGINED WHAT IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE ON THE KIDS WHO UTILIZE THE BGCS SERVICES.” — AVERY LANE OWNER DARLENE RICHERT

Ways that a consignment collaboration raised funds for and assisted Boys and Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale (BGCS):

+ One-of-a-kind furniture and accessories that captured the immediate attention of Avery Lane clients were displayed in beautiful showroom vignettes that helped those interested to envision the items in their homes. Sales associates shared that these pieces were received as a part of a charity donation with proceeds going toward Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale, sparking additional enthusiasm.

+ It was a huge asset to not only donate high-end items to charity but to send it to Avery Lane, who specializes in high-end designer pieces. The Avery Lane team, as well as its customers, recognize the brands and quality of such items, allowing pricing to be set at a real value so the charity gets significantly more donated money and can benefit their causes in a greater way. BGCS using resources provided by donations raised

+ BGCS Thrift Shop donation sales funds operations and programs at nine clubs located within the communities of Scottsdale, North Phoenix, Fountain Hills, the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and the Hualapai Nation in Peach Springs. “We serve over 10,000 registered members with career counseling, homework help, robust arts programming, math, science, tech, fun and games, mentoring and college prep,” says BGCS VP of marketing and communication, Audra Holt.

“FROM TIME TO TIME WE GET AN EXTRAORDINARY DONATION LIKE THE WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF FINE FURNITURE AND DÉCOR WE RECENTLY RECEIVED. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO FIND DARLENE AND HER TEAM AT AVERY LANE TO HELP US PROMOTE AND PRESENT THE COLLECTION ENABLING US TO SELL IT IN A TIMELY AND EFFECTIVE MANNER.” — THRIFT SHOP RETAIL DIRECTOR GARY ROWLETT
