LIFESTYLE LETTER

Feeling Grateful

November 2023 PUBLISHER

Tammy Fellows | tammy.fellows@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Michelle Glicksman | michelle.glicksman@citylifestyle.com

I’m not sure how November snuck up so fast, but here it is. Seriously, I feel like it was just yesterday that I was looking ahead to 2023! Now, it’s just about time to close out the year. Instead of making November the month that’s just all about Thanksgiving, the holiday, I like to look at November as the month of reflection. Spurred on by the season, I find it’s the perfect time to take a moment to pause during the craziness of daily life—yes, I’m looking at you carpools, cooking meals, juggling appointments, meeting deadlines, and helping with homework—reflect, and make it a point to acknowledge all the things for which I’m grateful. Of course, my family and friends top that list. If this November you, too, take a moment to reflect, I hope you find people and circumstances for which you are thankful. In this issue we incorporated the theme of gratitude and giving back into our pages. Aren’t there so many amazing people in our community?! Read all about how they are making an impact. Speaking of grateful, I am also grateful to all of you who read the words on these pages, share our stories with us, and support our amazing advertisers. Have a great month! Yours,

Top 5 Things to Know about Medical Weight Management Tirzepatide Modulates Fat Utilization

Who Can Qualify Anyone who is seeking a more personalized approach to weight management is a good candidate for embarking on a journey towards optimal wellbeing. If a person has that stubborn 10 pounds put on during COVID, is doing everything right with diet and exercise, yet can’t shed those extra pounds, they may well qualify for a weight management program. Those who have higher weight loss goals may also benefit from a personalized solution to assist in their wellness journey.

Semaglutide Regulates Appetite This medication has been used for over 15 years to treat diabetes, but then it had an amazing side effect: weight loss. Semaglutide works by mimicking the hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. This means that when Semaglutide is taken, it can help reduce feelings of hunger, leading to less food intake and weight loss. It has been shown to be particularly helpful for those who have struggled with losing weight through other methods.

Another innovative medical option is Tirzepatide, which activates 2 receptors through hormone stimulation. This not only offers the benefit of suppressing one’s appetite, it regulates glucose and blood sugar levels. Tirzepatide can also assist with modifying how the body utilizes fat by increasing energy expenditure.

Average Amount of Weight Loss Each person is different and loses weight at varying rates. Clinical trials have shown participants to lose from 5% up to 20% of their baseline body weight.

Benefits of Medical Weight Management When managed right, with an experienced medical team that adjusts dosage specific to you, benefits may include: • Loss of weight • Increased energy • Enhanced sleep • Improved blood pressure • Better self-confidence • Less joint pain

Chair and Changemaker Dr. Sybil Francis’ road to becoming a powerful voice in shaping the future of Arizona is paved with diverse experiences and global insights that beautifully mirror the state’s own eclectic spirit. “My mother came to the U.S. in high school as an American Field Service exchange student, eventually meeting my father and creating a home for us in both Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. I am the oldest of three girls,” she says. Her father worked in academia, and Francis vividly remembers attending his thesis graduation at Harvard University and

moving to Washington, D.C. in eighth grade, where her dad took a job after completing his doctorate. As a girl, she also spent summers in France with her grandparents. A bright, engaged student, she earned her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Oberlin College before earning admission into Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where she became the fifth woman ever to enroll in its Defense and Arms Control Program. Equipped with her Ph.D. from MIT, Francis forged a lifelong path in changemaking. She worked on science policy on Capitol Hill and

served in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. She would also work with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art before relocating to Arizona in 2002 when her husband, Dr. Michael Crow, became the 16th president of Arizona State University (ASU). “Here, I quickly began what has become my most meaningful work,” says Francis, referring to her co-founding the Center for the Future of Arizona (CFA) in 2003, a nonprofit “do-tank” that she today leads as chair, president, and chief executive officer. The seeds for the organization were sown during a conversation with Dr. Lattie Coor—the then-outgoing president of ASU—soon after Francis moved to the Valley. “We quickly found we had a deep passion for our state in common,” says Francis. “With his experience in research and education and mine in public policy, we set the wheels in motion to see how we could work together to propel Arizona forward in a positive way.” Initially, the Center for the Future of Arizona (CFA) planned to use an analytical approach to help provide guidance to leaders in business, government, and education, but Francis and Coor found the real road to success lay in listening to and amplifying the voices of the people across Arizona’s 15 counties. “As a result, in 2006, we began investing in extensive survey research, forging a first-of-itskind partnership with the world-renowned Gallup public opinion survey research organization for what was one of the most robust surveys of Arizonans ever conducted on topics running the gamut from health and well-being to jobs, economic opportunity, the environment, and education,” says Francis. According to CFA’s extensive survey research, the shared public values that Arizonans across geography, age, race and ethnicity, education, and political affiliation overwhelmingly agree on are education, health and well-being, jobs and

economic opportunity, the environment and sustainable future, civic engagement and leadership, equitable systems, and immigration reform. “Armed with this data and the voice of the people, our organization began proactively working toward making contributions to ‘The Arizona We Want’ vision through statewide initiatives and programs in education, workforce development, and civic engagement,” Francis explains. Today, CFA works with more than 200 businesses, associations, organizations, foundations, school districts, colleges and universities, and other nonprofit organizations, including the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, State of Black Arizona, Arizona Department of Education, Southern Arizona Leadership Council, United Way, and many more. “We are especially excited and encouraged by the success of our innovative Arizona Voters’ Agenda, an unprecedented nonpartisan effort focused on centering the voices of all Arizonans in elections and governance of the state,” says Francis. “Combined with survey research insights, data from the Arizona Progress Meters also contributed to productive community conversations, helped inform evidence-based policies and action, and led to expanded partnerships this past year.” Looking into 2024, Francis expects CFA to play an active role on the local and national stage, proactively helping the media and the rest of the country better understand what the data shows about who Arizonans are and shedding light on where they agree: their desire for a public education system that works for all youth, housing affordability, enhanced practices to protect our water, air, and environment, and true solution-building. When not advocating for Arizonans, Francis— who has an adult daughter and enjoys travel and hiking with her husband, Crow—stays busy in other philanthropic endeavors. She served on the board of The Nature Conservancy of Arizona for 12 years and chaired its Conservation and Public Policy Committee for much of her tenure.

“With his experience in research and education and mine in public policy, we set the wheels in motion to see how we could work together to propel Arizona forward in a positive way.”

She is also a founder and the standing chair of ASU’s Women and Philanthropy program, a model women’s organization with a unique approach to engaging women in the community. She is a member of the Arizona Women’s Forum, a nonprofit working to advance women in senior leadership positions and to empower all women leaders to lead with passion, act as mentors to others, and make a difference in their businesses, their communities, and their lives, as well

A L E G A C Y O F G I V I N G Jamie Hormel Honors Her Late Husband’s Memory With Philanthropy

ARTICLE BY SHANA SCHWARZ | PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE WRIGLEY MANSION

When Geordie and Jamie Hormel bought the Wrigley Mansion in 1992, they not only saved the historic estate from being demolished, but they also established themselves and the mansion as a philanthropic beacon in the Valley. And although it’s been 17 years since Geordie passed away, Jamie and their three children are keeping his spirit of giving alive. “He used to give out his number on the radio and tell people to call him if they needed help,” Jamie explains with a laugh. “He had the biggest, most generous heart and just wanted to help everyone he could.” CONTINUED >

“That was a Geordie thing—he heard it was going to be torn down and wanted to save it. He fell in love with the feeling of the building. It reminded him of the home he grew up in in Minnesota.” From strangers asking for help to the many charities the Hormels supported over the years, the impact of Geordie’s decision to move to Phoenix has been felt now for more than 30 years. “When I met him, he was always getting this magazine called Unique Homes, and we would go all over the place and see homes for sale,” Jamie says. “One day that brought us to Phoenix, and he just fell in love with Arizona. We bought the McCune Mansion in 1991—we lived there for 10 years, and the Wrigley Mansion in 1992. That was a Geordie thing—he heard it was going to be torn down and wanted to save it. He fell in love with the feeling of the building. It reminded him of the home he grew up in in Minnesota. He said he grew up in a time when your word was your word and a handshake meant something. I think he wanted to keep that feeling alive in everything he did.” Whether that meant turning the Wrigley Mansion pool into a pirate treasure scene complete with divers pulling buried gold plates from its depths for a children’s charity or glamorous parties for adults, Jamie says the kids grew up helping and finding philanthropy a fun and rewarding activity. “They were always doing something to help with our events,” she explains. “Whether they were blowing up balloons or helping to assemble gift baskets, the kids found ways to contribute and loved it. We made it a family thing.” Those family things now continue with daughters Geri and Gillian now both giving back to the causes they love. “Geri started Almost There Rescue about 10 years ago, and it’s grown significantly,” Jamie says. “My daughters’ charities are the closest to my heart, and I have loved to see them take after their father. Almost There Rescue specializes in large-breed dogs that are pregnant or have a litter of puppies that other rescues

can’t handle. Gillian recently co-founded Partners in Kind, a media and communications company. They are doing entertainment projects that focus on tangible acts of kindness.” Jamie has been involved with multiple charitable groups, including the Arizona Humane Society, Scottsdale Arts, Sundance One, Special Olympics Arizona, ACLU, Waste Not, Compassion and Choices, Hospice of the Valley, and more. One of her favorite local places to support is The Phoenix Theater. An avid patron of the arts, she is also especially appreciative of the work they do in the community. “I just love how I feel when I leave the shows,” she says. “I always want to thank the performers for what they do. But a lot of people don’t know they do great work at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. My daughters were in children’s hospitals as kids, and that distraction means so much.” Jamie is referring to the Partners That Heal partnership between The Phoenix Theatre Company and local hospitals. Using improv acting and big hearts, performers go into hospitals to entertain the kids and their families who are staying there. “I’ve always been drawn to organizations like that personally, and thanks to my husband,” says Jamie. “Geordie was all about bringing joy to our family and others. He would get on our home intercom every day at sunset and invite us all out to join him to enjoy the beauty together. His love for this state is what brought us here and kept us here.” And thanks to Geordie’s love for Arizona and Jamie’s love for Geordie, countless local families have benefited. Wrigley Mansion is now also home to several restaurants and a wine bar, is available to tour, and more. WrigleyMansion.com

Gather

Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or an autumn dinner party, setting a festive table creates the perfect cozy atmosphere. Improvise and use what you have around the house for adding elements to the table. Candlesticks, vases, little pumpkins and gourds, or fall decor you have on hand can make a great centerpiece. Add fresh flowers or dried foliage for that extra layer of texture and color.

ad i t i o n al Table For this classic, traditional look, a plaid throw blanket stands in for a tablecloth to establish a festive base layer. Brass candlesticks with brown taper candles create a simple and elegant centerpiece. Use familiar accents such as amber jars filled with dried grass foliage and brass pheasants to adorn the table. To add a little character to the table, use a recycled wine bottle as a vase. The simple place setting is enhanced with a dried grass accent and brown silk ribbon tied into a bow to add a special touch to your traditional display. CONTINUED >

yT able

Are you planning to dine al fresco this fall? Create an earthy, fall garden party on the porch by using natural, organic elements, greenery and flowers. To make a statement, create a floral chandelier by hanging flowers upside down above the table using fishing wire (if your space allows). The centerpiece that runs down the length of this table consists of fresh eucalyptus with gold candlesticks and a ceramic pumpkin vase filled with flowers placed on top of a tree trunk charger. Adding small pumpkins and fresh flowers along the center gives a little extra character. Instead of going with the classic white plate, enjoy a pop of color at your outdoor fall garden party with a blue place setting as a nod to the sky. Adding a cloth napkin and cloth placemat is a great way to add texture and more autumn color to your table. If the weather doesn’t cooperate on your day, bring the outdoors in with a lovely indoor garden party dressed up in fall foliage.

re nc h Co u n t r y Table

Rustic yet elegant, this tablescape combines the love of traditional, vintage and natural elements with an updated twist. Inspired by wooded acreage, the Spode Woodland Collection transferware designs are rooted in proper hunting tradition and perfect for marrying nature with traditional elegance. Dating back to 1831, the collection features various animals centered by the British Flowers border. This French antique dining room set was chosen for an intimate gathering for four. The fawn table runner mimicking deer spots brings an earthy, yet elevated foundation as the base for this table setting. Coordinating fawn napkins wrapped with twine and topped with natural feathers creates a whimsical touch. The stunning centerpiece starts with a vintage silver water pitcher that is then filled with fresh, sweet arrowwood Viburnums leaves. To complete the look, pair crystal glasses with vintage crystal stemware, and mix gold flatware with antique silver water pitchers, delicate salt and pepper shakers and your favorite trays.
