president’s letter Surprise!

I bet you were surprised when you saw this issue of Freedom Way in your mailbox. I’m very excited about the new look and layout of the publication, which will make it an even more interesting and enjoyable read for residents. New bold colors, a more eye-catching layout and a fresh perspective… all things we can use right now.

Big Plans for the Future I’m also excited about the big plans that are in store for Anthem. The Community Investment Master Plan has been presented to Council for review and soon there will be open, “town hall” meetings for public discussion. Which current amenities should we enhance? What new ones should we add? A state-of-the-art performing arts center? A community garden? A teen center with programs and activities geared just for them? We’re in a great position now with the economy being what it is (at least this economy is good for something), in that costs are down and there is almost $3 million in the Enhancement Fund to spend. I invite you to join in the discussion so we can all decide how to spend this fund wisely to further enhance our community.

Bill Clower Anthem Community Council President

It May Be Easy Being Green Finally, we are seeking residents with an interest or background in utilities to join our new Utilities Committee. If you’ve worked for a utility company and know how rates are set, or have city, county or state employment experience dealing with utilities, let us know. Anyone with recycling, waste management or solar expertise is welcome and encouraged to join. This Committee will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our community, as it will offer suggestions about whether Anthem should go solar or form an energy co-op, and advise us about what we can all do to save money on utility costs, among other green topics. Despite what the song says, being green may be easier than we think. And cheaper, too.

New Commander, Construction, Committee and Policies

Good News for Non-Residents

The Anthem Community Council’s Board of Directors meeting was held on May 27 and announced: the establishment of a Utilities Committee; construction of the Meridian/Desert Hills Emergency Access Gate; a proposal for traffic control devices at the Community Park; a public meeting to discuss Bylaw revisions; the proposal of new management structure for Anthem, as well as the direction of Freedom Way Magazine.

Anthem Has a New District 4 MCSO Commander Captain Ken Holmes will take the place of longtime Commander Captain Barry Roska. Captain Roska was responsible for the increased patrol presence in Anthem and the establishment of the community’s local Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) Substation at “no cost” to Anthem residents. Thank you Captain Roska for your exemplary law enforcement service and leadership provided to the Anthem community.

Construction on Emergency Access Gate Between Anthem and Desert Hills Work began May 18 on the emergency access gate between the Anthem and Desert Hills communities. The gate, which was moved back 100 feet because of egress and safety issues, will only allow access to authorized vehicles. Cameras will be installed to capture vandalism and misuse along with new keypads that are bus driver friendly.

Proposal for Traffic Control Devices in the Community Park The Council referred the proposal to install four traffic control devices (speed bumps) in the parking lots near the Little League fields to the Finance Committee for funding availability. The four speed bumps will cost approximately $400 each, for a total cost of $1,600. The goals of the speed bumps are to slow traffic, protect people in the parking lots and deter the area from being used as a raceway.

Council Seeks Input on Anthem’s New Management Structure The Council would like public input on a proposed new management structure for the Anthem community. The proposed structure is now online at OnlineAtAnthem.com and the document will take you to a forum where residents can weigh-in on the pros and cons of changing Anthem’s management structure. Residents, if you see Board Member Bob Copen with his hat on, feel free to comment on the proposed structure. Results of the public’s input will be revealed at the June 24 Council meeting.

Suspension Policy for Dealing with Fecal Waste Accidents at the Pool and Water Park Be aware that the Council is considering adopting a “suspension policy” for dealing with fecal waste accidents in the Community Center pool and water park. Since opening day of the water park, May 2, there have been more than three pool closures due to fecal waste accidents in the pool and/or water park. With each closure, more than $200 in chemicals are used to shock the pool in accordance with Maricopa County Regulations. In order to assist with this issue, the Community Center currently sells plastic protective pants for residents for $3.00 at the front desk. Please take advantage of this opportunity to protect you and your family from this type of accident. It’s quite possible in the near future that your resident membership privileges will be suspended if your family has this type of accident in the pool and/or water park.

Non-residents Can Now Participate in Community Center Swim Programs Due to the swim programs not completely filling-up, the Council approved the recommendation to allow non-Anthem residents the opportunity to participate in all Community Center swim programs and swim classes. There will be a $15 non-resident fee along with the cost of the swim class. Non-residents will be able to signup for swim classes after the 20th of each month.

Utilities Committee Formed to Advise Council on Utilities and Energy Issues The Utilities Committee was formed by the Council. It has been charged with: researching possible energy savings; quality improvement, service improvement and cost reduction measures for Council properties and Anthem residents; investigating alternative energy sources such as solar and an energy co-op; and monitoring schedules and filing of the Arizona Corporation Commission rate increase requests affecting Anthem. The committee currently includes Maher Hazine, President; Tom Setter, Vice President; William Bohnhoff, Secretary; Jessica Marlow, Jason Barron, and Roger Willis, whom all have extensive experience in the utilities field.

Council Supports No Overnight Parking at the Anthem Commerce Park The Council approved a resolution in support of posting signs and enforcing no overnight parking at the Anthem Commerce Park. Businesses in the Anthem Commerce Park will approach the City of Phoenix for no overnight parking signage.

Public Meeting June 9 ~ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm Anthem Community Center, Game Room A public meeting will be held to discuss proposed revisions to the following Bylaws - Sections 4.2 (Number of Directors); 4.3 (Qualifications of Directors); and 4.4 (Selection of Directors; Term of Office). Residents are encouraged to attend and provide public input.

Final Discussion of the Evening…. The Direction of Freedom Way Magazine Board Member Bob Copen summed it up by saying, “The numbers you have been seeing in all publications are inaccurate. The Communications Committee and staff have just been given the advertising component of the Freedom Way Magazine on May 11 and need time to determine the numbers associated with the publication.” In December, the Communications Committee and management will provide an indepth financial report to the Council on the publication’s effectiveness. At that time, the Council will determine the direction of Freedom Way. The next Anthem Community Council Board of Directors meeting will be held on June 24 at 6:30 pm at the Anthem Community Center.

Meeting on 404s June 10 ~ 6:00 pm Anthem Community Center A public meeting will be held with the Army Corp of Engineers to discuss the 404 Washes in Anthem. Other invited guests include: County Supervisor Andy Kunasek, Captain Ken Holmes of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, representatives from Maricopa County Flood Control, Daisy Mountain Fire Department, and Maricopa County Department of Transportation. Please join us for an informative meeting on everything a resident would need to know about the 404 washes.

Anthem Country Club Community Association (ACCCA)

Your Country Club Homeowner’s Association

Thank You Local Boy Scout Troop #432 The ACCCA would like to thank local Boy Scout Troop #432 for volunteering their service to paint 76 of the Country Club fire hydrants. In addition to saving the homeowners from the expenditures normally associated with maintaining the hydrants, their service reminds us of the importance of volunteering our time for the betterment of the community Thank you!

Ron Tucker presents ACCCA donation to Troop #432 in appreciation for their service.

Reminder: New Golf Cart Driving Policy Implemented

Please remember the ACCCA Board of Directors voted at their April quarterly meeting to implement a new golf cart policy that reads: ”Electric golf carts, if they cannot go 30 mph uphill, shall drive on the right side of Anthem Club Drive, Anthem Hills, and Anthem Ridge, astride the white line in those areas designated 30 mph, leaving room for other vehicles to pass on the left. When those streets are resealed and repainted, the lines will be widened to accommodate the golf carts. Golf carts will be treated as any other vehicle on all streets in the community and subject to all traffic control requirements, such as speed limits and stop signs. All golf cart drivers shall comply with Arizona Driver License laws.”

Please drive safely!

Reminder: Changes Made to Home Exterior and Landscaping require ACCCA Pre-Approval

If you are planning to make any changes to the exterior of your home including, but not limited to: home additions, courtyard walls, concrete work, patio extensions, sun screens, awnings, canopies or security doors, you must secure pre-approval from the ACCCA prior to beginning work.

Additionally, if you are making changes to your landscape including, but not limited to: pools, spas, Jacuzzis, fountains, grass, artificial turf or a complete new design, you must secure pre-approval from the ACCCA before beginning your work.

There are two reasons for not contacting the office: if you are repainting your house in the same colors; or, if you are replacing a plant that has died with a new plant. If you are not sure if pre-approval is needed, please contact the homeowner’s association offices at 623-742-6030 and ask. Remember, according to our CC&Rs, “Each owner is responsible for removing or otherwise curing, at its expense, non-complying and/or unapproved improvements. All landscaping and exterior CC&R guidelines are posted on the Country Club pages of www.OnlineAtAnthem.

Commercial Vehicle Policy Reminder to Commercial Vehicle Owners

Responding to homeowners reporting that commercial vehicles driven by their neighbors were frequently parked on neighborhood streets and driveways, the Anthem Country Club Community Association (ACCCA) Board of Directors adopted a resolution to amend the definition of “commercial vehicle,” allowing stricter enforcement of parking controls. Approved at the April 16, 2009 ACCCA Board of Directors meeting, a “commercial vehicle” is defined as, “any vehicle with advertising lettering affixed to the vehicle, vehicles used in commerce including items such as, but not limited to, ladders, tools, tanks, hoses, wire, pipes, etc. stored on or in the vehicle and exposed and livery vehicles such as taxi cabs or limousines.”

The definition applies to cars, trucks, vans, trailers, or any other vehicles used by residents for commercial purposes. The Use Restrictions section of the CC&Rs requires these vehicles be placed in enclosed garages within the Country Club community.

Typically, courtesy notices are sent to residents for first-time violations. Pursuant to the community CC&Rs, a second notice of non-compliance may include a fine notification. For more information, go to the Country Club page at www.OnlineAtAnthem.com.

Signs,

Signs,

Well, Not Everywhere, but We’re Working on It…

everywhere a

Sign…

By John Balzer, ANW Committee Member

T

he Anthem Neighborhood Watch Committee started placing signs at the entrances to Anthem neighborhoods in January of 2008. The four gates to the Country Club, The Villages, The Landing, Arroyo Grande, Anthem Commerce Park and 33 other Parkside East/West neighborhoods have the signs.

Why Have Signs?

There are two reasons. First, it may cause a person looking to engage in a criminal activity to bypass an area that is posted with signs. It tells them that someone has taken the time to organize at some level and take responsibility for their neighborhood. Second – and most importantly – it reminds the residents every time they drive into their neighborhood that they have made a commitment to watch out for each other.

That is what Neighborhood Watch is all about.

Local residents know their own neighborhood better than anyone else and can tell at a glance when something or someone is out of place.

Both can be noticed and reported to law enforcement if we are watching out for each other.

How Can My Neighborhood Get Signs?

The requirement is simple. Someone living in the neighborhood/unit must volunteer to become a Block Captain. This resident agrees to organize neighbors and distribute information on how to keep our neighborhoods safer. The Anthem Neighborhood Watch Committee has information and volunteers who will help new Block Captains organize a group of residents.

We also have the support of the Phoenix Police, the Maricopa County Sheriff ’s Office and the North Valley Posse. When a new Block Captain is identified, signs will be placed at the main entrances to the neighborhood to let everyone know that the residents there have organized.

Simply contact anthemwatch@yahoo.com to volunteer as a Block Captain or to ask questions about the Anthem Neighborhood Watch program.

14 | June 2009 FreedomWay

Members of Anthem Neighborhood Watch post one of their signs in an Anthem neighborhood.

How Do I Report Criminal Activity?

If you observe a crime in progress or someone in distress, immediately call 911. There are, however, many other situations that just don’t look right and may not justify a 911 emergency call.

These may include suspicious people, strange cars or trucks cruising a neighborhood, or anything that looks out of place for your area. These incidents should be reported to the non-emergency numbers, which should be programmed into your cell phones or listed by your telephone at home. They are:

Anthem East Maricopa County Sheriff (602) 876-1011

Anthem West Phoenix Police (602) 262-6151

The police or sheriff will take your report and advise you on what action will be taken. Sometimes your call will aid in developing a pattern of similar reports that result in an arrest. Remember, if it looks wrong to you it probably is. Report it.

How Do I Become a Member of Anthem Neighborhood Watch?

Even if your neighborhood/unit does not have a Block Captain, you can still become an informed member. Log on to www.onlineatanthem.com and click on “Anthem Neighborhood Watch.”

After you join the group, you will then have the option to enter your neighborhood and receive emails when incidents are reported in Anthem.

You can also see the entire member list and see who among your neighbors are members of Anthem Neighborhood Watch. Of course, it is even better if your neighborhood has a Block Captain to act as a local contact to distribute information and organize your neighborhood. Maybe that Block Captain will be you.

HOPE Through Science and Caring W

hile pain may be an unavoidable part of the human experience it’s not always a bad thing. It is a natural response to a potentially dangerous situation. But when pain becomes unrelenting, overwhelming, and unresponsive to typical intervention – it can be a destructive force. Pain Medicine Specialists, P.C., under the leadership of Dr. John P. Badalamenti, is now open in Anthem to help people cope with such pain.

Dr. Badalamenti is an Anthem resident who specializes in Interventional Pain Medicine, a subspecialty of medicine that is dedicated to the diagnosis, understanding, and treatment of various kinds of pain. As an interventionalist, he can approach pain in many ways: from prescribing medications; to blocking a nerve in the abdomen so someone with pancreas cancer can live a better quality of life; to implanting a spinal cord stimulator- which is essentially a pacemaker for the spinal cord – to ease intractable back and leg pain.

Dr. Badalamenti strongly emphasizes the importance of the proper diagnosis- it acts like a compass to guide you to successful treatment. Without it; you’re lost. He understands that the key to succeeding, when others have failed, is to listen carefully to his patients before reaching a conclusion. Modern medical training spends very little time teaching adequate diagnosis or treatment of pain. Research has created more options for pain relief than ever before. Treatment choices have developed so rapidly, and so recently, that the general public; and sometimes even medical professionals are not always fully aware of what’s available.

Pain impacts more than just a part of our body – it can change someone’s personality. People around you see and feel the changes pain can create. Relationships and jobs can suffer as much as the patient does. Effective and timely treatment is important because it can also provide relief to families and co-workers.

Our ultimate goal is to facilitate the rapid restoration of comfort and function; to under promise and over-deliver whenever possible; and to be a source of hope – always.

Traveling this Summer?

Be Sure to Pack Peace of Mind By: Anya Clowers, R.N.

T

ravel connects us to the wonders of the world: fantastic golf courses, exquisite scenery and cuisine, and memorable time with the grandkids. Vacation is a break from everyday life, and travelers may feel exempt from reality, which is why, sometimes, they neglect to wear seat belts in taxis or overindulge in rich food, alcoholic drink, or activity.

Limitations still exist in paradise. Ignoring these limitations may allow us to keep up with the group, maximize our experience, or forget about troubles at home. However, nothing brings about a reality check faster than an ill-timed hot flash, excessive gas or bloating, low blood sugar, a cold or flu, hemorrhoid flare-up, knee/hip pain, or a raging colon!

I­­­­ recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Maria Bravo, an on-board physician for Costa Cruise. As we sailed to the Canary Islands, Dr. Bravo and I discussed “life at sea.” Whether cruising through the Straits of Gibraltar or down Main Street, travelers tend to view vacation as a much-needed escape. Dr. Bravo stated many passengers become sick the second or third day of vacation, after neglecting to monitor food and beverage intake, blood sugar and activity levels.

Successful travelers pack realistic expectations as well as these seven tips for packing peace of mind: 20 | June 2009 FreedomWay

Recognize your triggers. Acknowledge physical, mental, and emotional irritants. If odors, noise, heat, tension, or kids trigger anxiety, migraines, or hot flashes, then noise canceling headphones, soothing music, essential oil, moisture-wicking clothing, or planned rest time may be beneficial.

Define your ideal vacation. Recognize tendencies to relax safety and health boundaries.

“Life” happens, even in paradise. Medication and seat belt reminders, insulin pumps/monitors, scheduled rest time and packing sun block, insect repellant, and protective rain apparel may be appropriate.

Provide for basic physical needs. Hydration and good nutrition are essential to support active bodies. We don’t expect our car to run on empty! Insulated water bottles, energy bars and glucose gels fit easily into daypacks.

Pack your carry-on or daypack as if life depends on it. It may! Medications, identification, medical records, and food/drink need to be easily accessible.

Plan ahead for the unexpected. Illness, injury, and accidents happen in unfamiliar environments at unexpected times. Consider potential medical needs: symptom relief, Nitroglycerin, Glucagon Kit, Epi Pen, medical records, insurance needs, etc.

Carry medical information. Vital information for quality care includes knowledge of your blood type, as well as written medical history, and medication information. Travelers should

know their medications’ names (including generic), dosage, frequency and pathology (reason for taking meds). Consider packing a medical record storage device, subscribing to traveler’s medical assistance, wearing medical alert and identification bracelet.

Appreciate quality over quantity. Allow for down time. Constant “on the go” travel can result in exhaustion, illness, and a greater tendency for injury. Plan flexibility and rest into your itinerary.

As you plan for your next trip, take time to identify and prepare for your individual needs. By being self-sufficient, physical ailments will have less effect on your travel itinerary. May peace of mind, safety, and health travel with you!

Start July 4th Off with a Bang with Anthem’s July 3rd Festivities By: Karen Angelo

Event Kicks-Off at 6:00pm; Fireworks Take off at 9:30pm

Getting out of work a little earlier than usual is just one benefit of the Independence Day holiday falling on the week-end. In Anthem, there’s even more reason to celebrate July 4th: our festivities begin one day earlier – Friday, July 3rd – so, grab the kids, invite some friends and get ready for a hot time in the old town tonight. All July 3rd activities take place at the ball fields in Anthem Community Park; the event starts at 6:00pm and the fireworks are scheduled to begin at 9:30pm.

The Fields are Alive with the Sound of Music

This year, a DJ will entertain the masses while Persephone will ensure that the little ones also have a good time. On a more patriotic note, there will also be the singing of the National Anthem, a presentation of the Color Guard and the F-16 flyover.

Let Them Entertain You(r Kids)!

As with past July 3rd festivities, there will be plenty of attractions and activities for the kids to enjoy as they wait for the fireworks to start. The inflatables are back and better than ever, and for $10, the little ones can bounce ‘til their hearts are content. There will be several other activities available for the kids to enjoy, including temporary patriotic tattoos that will be given out by the Anthem Community Center staff in a booth sponsored by local attorneys Boates & Crump.

Margaritaville Comes to the Food Court

What holiday in Arizona would be complete without a tasty Margarita to quench your thirst?

The Anthem Rotary knows just how you feel, which is why they will be serving this frosty concoction, as well as other beverages, to offer some respite from the summer heat. Looking for something to wash down with your beverage of choice? Then be sure to peruse the options available in the food court. There will be 10 vendors

to choose from, so choose wisely, because the next decision will be dessert: ice cream from the trucks or smoothies.

Get Your Souvenirs Here!

Finally, because every event should be remembered in some way, patriotic glow necklaces will be available for sale for the amazingly low, low price of $1.

What a great way to find your kids in the dark, give them something new to play with, and commemorate a fun-filled event the entire family can enjoy.

Thanks to Our Sponsors

reative experiences are a great way for young people to spend the summer. Be it reading, writing, drawing, singing, dancing, theater, film or music, there are organized programs available, and there are also activities that can be done at home.

For preschool and elementary aged children, craft projects abound. Ideas can be found in books and on web sites including http://crafts. kaboose.com. Parent participation is beneficial as I was reminded of recently while listening to the radio.

Award winning author, animated cartoonist, and television writer Mo Willems talked about how at one point in time, we all used to draw.

“One of the biggest reasons children stop drawing is that they see that adults don’t do it,” said Willems, who advocates that adults pick up a pencil and just do it. “If you can write your name, you can draw cartoons…which is just a series of shapes in a particular order.”

“If adults are sitting around drawing, then kids learn that drawing is cool. If they don’t, then kids realize that this is just a baby activity,” said Willems. Get the entire family involved with drawing something such as a favorite stuffed animal. No one will be judging the results; it’s just for fun.

Listening to good music is also an easy way to expand the creative experience. A great resource for wonderful music games and ideas for kids’ entertainment is www.classicsforkids.com.

Teens can make a mini photo album or create a scrapbook of the past year’s activities. They can create a very large abstract painting using imagination and lots of color, or start a personal journal, or try writing poetry, lyrics or rap. They can learn to take better pictures, learn anime or painting, or make a film with the video camera.

Snacks are a must, of course.

The library is a great resource for books about learning a new skill or improving upon one. In addition, the North Valley Regional Library offers a summer reading program, creative arts activities on Wednesdays, and story times for younger kids.

Starting music lessons is also wonderful because it requires practice for a certain amount of time each day. If there is no piano in the house, a keyboard is a good purchase, or instruments can be rented with an option to buy.

Arts classes and camps are available. Programs at the Anthem Community Center include dance, theatre and guitar. Dance classes and camps for various skill and age levels are offered at Dynamic Motion Dance Academy (www. dmdaaz.com) in Anthem and Arizona Dance Artistry (www.arizonadanceartistry.com) located in Deer Valley.

Performing arts camps are really fun, as well as help with skill-building. Musical Theatre of Anthem Summer Performing Arts Institute runs from July 13-24 for performers ages 6-20. Starlight Community Youth Theater offers two summer musical theatre opportunities: Camp Rising Star from June 15- 26 for ages 6-14, and Beauty and the Beast Jr. from June 29-July 17 for ages 6-18. On The Towne Community Theatre offers theater camps from June 29-July 10 for performers aged 7-14. Desert Foothills Theater’s Gecko Teatro Summer Camp runs from June 22-July 3 for Grades 3-9.

As a result of living in an entertainment-driven society, young people need direction to express their creative energy constructively. With some planning, parents can set up the conditions for young people to spark their imagination and have fun and enriching experiences. Adults can enjoy participating in the activities as well; after all, art is for everyone. Here’s to an artful summer! For more information and links to programs and events, log on to www.ACNV.org.

By Peni Long Greg Nash truly lives, works, and plays in Anthem. As the designer of the courses at the Anthem Golf and Country Club and one of Anthem’s original residents, he is able to enjoy and critique his work as it matures—and listen to the comments of others as they confront these beautiful but challenging desert courses.

O

ne of golf ’s most successful course architects, Nash has designed more than 90 courses and is considered the reigning “Dean of Desert Architecture.” In 1999, he took on the design of the Persimmon course for Del Webb as part of the Anthem development, followed by the Ironwood course in 2004. Ranging from 5,326 to 7,210 yards with a terrain drop of 300 feet from top to bottom, each course is a unique, beautiful asset to the community.

How does a course architect start with raw land and envision the path of the holes, the homes, and the landscape? Are there special challenges that come with desert courses – Anthem’s in particular? And after almost 10 years, what does the creator think of his creations?

Resident Golf Course Architect Designed Anthem’s Courses 26 | June 2009 FreedomWay

Envisioning the Future – From Nothing to Something Very Special There are special challenges to designing a course as part of a housing development, and Nash excels in this arena. As with most courses, “The place to start is with good topography maps. First priority is to find the best location for the clubhouse. The second is to create a ‘marketing trail’ so that residents and visitors enjoy scenic views of golf greens, traps, and water to make an initial favorable impression as they move through the area. And third, the design must use the existing terrain to balance golf and real estate with the routing plan for the course through the housing development.”

Once this plan is developed, only then can the work begin to design the actual holes that entertain, challenge, and sometimes frustrate golfers.

The Desert Dictates the Design When Nash began the detailed work on Persimmon, he was challenged to incorporate the exist-

ing terrain, minimize movement of dirt and native plants, avoid the 404 wash areas regulated by the Army Corps of Engineers, and satisfy water regulations in balancing turf and desert. After producing detailed drawings and assigning a construction company, Nash visited the site more than 200 times to ensure that his drawings were being interpreted accurately. He installed native plants and a top-of-the-line irrigation and drip system featuring individually controlled and monitored heads to better manage water distribution and costs. He personally fretted over tee box alignment and putting surfaces. After all of that, when Persimmon opened for golf in late 1999, Nash could truthfully say it was one of the best courses he had ever done – a course “you can play time and time again and never tire of it.”

Surprise – A Second Course Persimmon, the Anthem Golf and Country Club and the entire Anthem development were so successful that the decision was made to create Ironwood, not even contemplated as part of the original plan. Nash took the opportunity to design a “thinking person’s course” with less ornamental and more desert vegetation, seven water features, more trees around the tee boxes, and differently shaped traps. Like Persimmon, the course is defined by the different tee boxes, the ability to vary the length and angle of shots, varying pin placements, and the extensive greens. Nash’s opinion? “One of my best.”

When you live and play with your work, it is easy to second-guess yourself. Now and then, Nash sometimes asks himself, “Why did I do that?”

But overall, he seems satisfied that he has created the variety, challenge, and opportunity for memorable golf moments which provide a “Quality Golf Experience” right here at home in Anthem.

Let These Anthem Caterers do the Cooking for You

We like to have parties…go to parties… eat, drink and be merry at parties. Probably the one thing none of us really like to do is cook for parties. Let’s be honest, nothing takes the buzz out of a good time than standing over a hot stove or BBQ while everyone else is out by the pool or in the living room while you do all the work. Well, thanks to these Anthem caterers, you can enjoy a great time with great friends with great food you don’t even have to cook.

More Than What You Expect…

Now, That’s Amore!

Any kid from an Italian family will tell you that when their mother cooked dinner, she made chicken cutlets for them, as well as for the 25 other people that “might stop by.” That’s how it is at Affinito’s. Chef Becca Butitta says clients are pleasantly surprised, as they get more than what they expect in terms of quality, presentation and service. “Sometimes customers come in and they’re not 100% sure of what they want to do,” she says. “We like to help with the planning so we can do what’s best for everyone.” Affinito’s catering menu is extensive and includes everything from appetizers and salads to a broad range of pasta, chicken, eggplant, veal and seafood items, and the chef is happy to make special orders. Affinito’s “Deluxe Package,” which costs $2 extra a person, includes salad, bread and butter, Parmesan cheese, serving spoons, utensils, napkins, plates and delivery, while its “Premium Package,” for $3 extra per person, includes all the items above plus chafing dishes and sternos, as well as set-up and pick-up. These are great options for busy party hosts to consider: why sweat the small stuff if you don’t have to? For more information, call 623-465-0900 or log on to www. affinitosbistro.com.

Vegetarians Go to Parties, Too

What do you do when your guest list includes vegetarians? Give Youssef Salameh, owner of Café Afify a call. Not only will you have something a little out of the ordinary to offer your guests (how many Lebanese–Mediterranean restaurants do you know in Anthem?), your non-meat-eating friends will appreciate the extra effort you went through to serve them something unique and tasty they will enjoy. Vegetarian dishes from hoummos and tabbouleh to lentil soup and falafel are available and made fresh to order. And, just because you don’t see 28 | June 2009 FreedomWay

it on the menu doesn’t mean it can’t be made.

“We make lots of special dishes that aren’t on our menu,” Salameh says. “If there is something special you would like, all you have to do is ask.”

Everything at Café Afify is prepared with no additives or preservatives and special needs can also be accommodated with advance notice. In addition to the extensive vegetarian offerings, shish kabobs and roll-ups including beef, chicken or lamb are available. When your guest list includes carnivores and vegetarians, be sure to give Café Afify a call at 623-551-9361 or log on to www.cafeafify.com.

Convenience of Fast Food, Benefits of Home Cooking

Say you’ve got an intimate dinner party planned, are having friends over to commemorate a birthday, or want to celebrate your anniversary with an elegant dinner at home, but don’t have the time (or cooking skills) to bring it all to the table.

Consider the cooked-to-order dinners prepared by the owners of Dash-n-Dine, the North Valley’s premier meal prep kitchen, and delivered free-of-charge to you. All you need to do is replate and serve. Dash-n-Dine’s four-course dinner serves up to six people, includes a choice of appetizers, a salad with a choice of dressings, a choice of main dishes, sides and desserts, and costs only $37.50/person. The nicest thing about Dash-n-Dine is that they do all the prep work for you: slicing, dicing, marinating, etc…all you need to do is defrost and cook dinner, which is perfect for busy families who would rather pull a complete dinner out of the freezer than shop for it and prepare it after a long day. “It’s easy, healthy and guilt-free,” says Kathie Harloft, one of Dashn-Dine’s three owners, noting that everything is prepared fresh and without preservatives. “We offer the convenience of fast food, but the benefits of a home-cooked meal.” For more information, log on to www.dashndineonline.com.

Cooked and Served

At Our Kitchen to Yours, catering menus come with a great side if you want to add it to your plate: butler service. For $20/hour, not only can you have delicious food for your guests to enjoy, you can have someone pass it, serve it and clean it up when the party’s done. Offerings can feed guests from sun-up to sundown and include everything from

breakfast menus, lunch buffets and hors d’oeuvres to salads, dinner entrees and desserts. Plates, napkins, silverware and serving utensils are included, as are assorted canned sodas, teas and water.

And while the menu at Our Kitchen to Yours is fairly extensive, owner Donna Fanning is happy to take requests for special items. “Everything on our menu is made fresh and our sauces and salad dressings are made from scratch,” she says. From formal sit-down dinners and informal poolside parties to corporate luncheons and teacher appreciations breakfasts, Our Kitchen to Yours caters a full range of events. To learn what this Anthem caterer can do to make your party or event a success, give Donna a call at 623-551-8800 or log on to www.OurKitchentoYours.com
