Mark Klett “Response to history: A 30-year retrospective” at Lisa Sette Gallery Lisa Sette will open a show Nov. 7 of Arizona-based landscape photographer Mark Klett. “Response to history, a 30-year retrsospective” will feature the work of the decades-long Arizona resident who first came to the state as a geological researcher. He stayed on as a photographer, and for over three decades has documented the demanding environments of the Southwest. Klett has received Guggenheim, NEA, and Governor’s Arts Awards, among many other accolades. From blackand-white photographs of desert scenes to the collage-like constructions of his “rephotographic panoramas” of the Grand Canyon, Klett’s works present the complicated attraction of the Western frontier and its enduring capacity for inspiration and isolation. Often, Klett and his collaborators, chiefly Byron Wolfe, combine archival imagery, such as postcards or guidebooks, with new and original photographs, expanding well-known scenes of grandeur to even grander proportions. Humans become minor details in these scenes, silhouetted presences on the precipice of vast landscapes. From this precarious vantage point, we may observe the inexorable series of deep-time geological changes and human involvements that define the American West.

ON MY MIND
When a tan was a tan By Bill Macomber This has been a long and very hot summer. I have kept safe and sane by staying away from hot parking lots, including the gym, not gesturing at pickup truck drivers who in Arizona may be carrying God only knows what firearm under the seat, and wearing a hat. I wear a hat everywhere now. I can’t believe I spent my entire youth outdoors, no sunscreen, no visor, not even a hand raised to my forehead to shield my tender skin. That was back in the dark ages before people realized that standing in the sun was like smoking cigarettes, eating carcinogenic food or unprotected sex. They put baby oil on their skin and stretched out full in the sun to get a tan that would tell everyone they were enjoying the summer. Tans were glamorous. Sometimes I think it was better to be unaware of all the danger. We didn’t know we could be snatched off the street by strangers, fried to a crisp by sun rays or poisoned by bug spray. If there were ants in the kitchen, my parents got a can of Raid and sprayed wherever they saw ants. If it landed on your hamburger, just wipe it off. Aspirin and Tylenol came in bottles that you could open by unscrewing them without looking. I need my reading glasses now to open bottles. My mother took diet pills, which I got into by accident when I was 3 years old, my father smoked Pall Malls and drank martinis. In the car. The gigantic family Chrysler station wagon had no airbags and barely had seat belts. It was my mother’s job on long trips to get out the bar-in-a-box at 5 p.m., mix a martini for my dad and hand it to him as he drove. If a cop pulled us over for speeding, my dad with a cigarette in his hand and a martini resting on the center armrest, the cop would barely look at the drink. Today my father would be in jail for that. I know life is safer today, and that’s good. It’s certainly more expensive to be this safe. And it takes a lot of energy to be aware of all the danger. The thing is, hideous things still happen to people every day. How much energy and money will it take to be completely safe? I don’t know. I’ll let you know how I really feel about it the next time I get hit in the face by an airbag that just saved my life.

La Dolce Vita The other afternoon I stopped to pause at both of our old office buildings on Scottsdale Road. As many of you know both have been demolished for new digs. Yet, many are concerned with what’s happening between McDonald Drive and Lincoln Drive on Scottsdale Road. The Borgata, once the most affluent shopping mall in all of Arizona, was largely destroyed by out-of-state rental corporations that didn’t know what to do with it. Although it suffered from not having anchor stores, it managed to do quite well for several decades. That was until several property sales resulted in gas lamps turned to fluorescents, fountains drained and turned into planters and grass replaced with very cheap-looking Astroturf. Remember Mancuso’s, perhaps the most beautiful restaurant architecture in Phoenix, ripped apart to open the mall only to be replaced by cabin-like dwellings that only made the situation in the mall worse? At least Fran and Bobby Mancuso were able to carry on their parents’ dreams and traditions at Bobby’s at Kierland Commons. A rakish and stylized restaurant. Boy did they Please visit Trends’ Web site at www.trendspublishing.com for more social events and up-to-date calendar listings.

By Bill Dougherty get the last laugh. Now sadly, The Borgata is headed for condo conversion. I’ve always felt that had it been handled with the TLC it needed this would never have happened. I think of all the tenants that lost their businesses there simply due to awful management; many were great supporters of this publication. What a shame. I’m just glad that Ollie and Jerry McNamara are not here to see what became of such an incredible vision. Then there are the Shops at Hilton Village, where Trends officed for more than five years. Our former building is slated to be a CVS pharmacy. While the current landlords of the property have done a good job of restoring the center, a lot of fine stores and restaurants left, fearing the inevitable. I can’t say as I blame them either. While I’m sure that CVS will generate a lot of traffic to the center, I ask the question: Do we need another drugstore almost diagonally across from Walgreens? Are we all that sick? I guess time will tell. In 2003 we left Old Town Scottsdale and moved across the street from AJ’s Fine Foods on the corner of Lincoln Drive and Scottsdale Road. That complex too was torn down last spring. And now apartments! Really? Last time I checked this was one of the most affluent corners in all of Scottsdale. Now we have to look at dwellings that look like air-conditioning generators. You would have thought that the City
of Scottsdale would have made sure that the architecture for that prestigious corner was at least attractive and with some nice, elegantly landscaped setbacks. Dear God! I think the residents of Scottsdale who have worked so hard to live there deserve a little more than tenements. A few nights ago we were invited to a late-night cocktail party at the home of Joo and David Cantor. We did not pass through the large iron gates of the estate until well after 9 p.m. It reminded me of the film “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?” Who has people for cocktails late into the night, except Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, who most believed were playing themselves in the picture? Anyway, it was well worth the trip. Their recently finished home is simply stunning! Unlike the McMansions that flank a lot of Paradise Valley, their home sits on a sizable and beautifully adorned piece of property. Their less-is-more approach should be studied by many who have created m onstrosities simply to impress others. The guest list was small but opulent, with many people who you know and adore. We all played cocktail polo with one another, knocking back subjects such as summer travel, second homes and summer rentals by the sea. It was there that I was told of a very hushed feud between members of a once-extremely high profile Paradise family. Apparently, the late patriarch of the clan trusted one child in running absolutely everything, squeezing everyone else, including the matriarch, out of the picture. I was not the least bit surprised to hear this. However, I was surprised that it has been kept so very quiet. Having recently settled my late father’s estate after more than 13 years, I’m here to tell everyone that everything in an estate should be divided equally among everyone, no matter what the circumstances are. It’s the only fair thing to do. All
you will end up doing is making a huge mess for everyone after you’re gone. I remember one of the Gucci sisters once was quoted as saying, “It’s better to cry in a Rolls Royce than to be happy on a bicycle.” Yes, life with money is easier, but money won’t keep you warm at night, especially if you end up alone. You get the picture. As we kick off the season remember that it’s much easier to be nice to someone, even if you don’t like them. Keep in mind that it’s only an hour or so out of your life. Thirteen years ago when I purchased Trends, I remember refusing to sit next to a trashy blonde socialite who has long since vanished. I remember I made the table hostess move everyone around. What an ass I made of myself. I thought I was so important then. It’s just easier to be nice. Remember the repellent Duchess of Windsor used to brag to high society that she had the ability to look right through someone she didn’t like as if they didn’t exist. Look what happened to her. She spent decades as a ward of her trusted French lawyer under lock and key, unable to speak and reclining on urine-soaked sheets. In Cocktail Polo News You Should Know: That several people have taken up a collection for a U-Haul to jettison three couples from town … That many feel that a feeble but wealthy generous man is being taken advantage of by several socialites … That a socialite has yet to realize that she is not getting a second chance … That a tragic woman In Cocktail Polo News you should know: has gone through all the single men at a prestigious club … That a lovely woman you know and adore anonymously gave millions to an almost out-of-business women’s shelter … That a beautiful brunette socialite is single and no one even knows it yet. Now you’re all caught up for the next 15 minutes …

TRENDY READING
‘Paper Children: An Immigrant’s Legacy’ by Marcia Fine By Bill Dougherty Several years ago we were give the opportunity to review local author Marcia Fine’s exceptionally well written novel, “Paper Children: An Immigrant’s Legacy.” Since then, the book has been transformed into an audio collection. The book follows three generations of women, covering a time span from a preNazi Europe to a psychedelic 1960s America. The story begins in a pre-World War II Poland, as central character Paulina’s every whim is catered to by her doting parents. Then suddenly, following an almost arranged marriage, Paulina is forced to move to the United States without so much as knowing how to boil water. Although she regularly corresponds with her family, she senses something is deeply wrong by the late 1930s. Florid letters give way to horrific tales of hiding in sewers and basements. Book two begins in the mid 1940s. Paulina receives horror story tales of her family’s demise. By this time her daughter Sarah, a budding photographer, is dispatched by a national magazine to cover the deep secrets of the Third Reich in the concentration camps of Eastern Europe. The novel concludes when Sarah’s grown daughter, Mimi, starts to question her grandmother’s tight-lipped approach to her European upbringing. Finally, under duress from her daughter and granddaughter, she agrees to turn over a box of pre-war letters and photos she refers to as her “paper children,” paper since there is nothing left of her family but photos and correspondence. This book/audio component is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the Holocaust. This is a heart-breaking, beautifully articulated novel that allows the listener to smell, hear and feel the pain as the story is vividly played out in the pages and audio.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE TCF
Trends Charitable Fund is proud to help …
Save the Family, helping families get back on their feet In today’s economic climate, it is not uncommon to hear stories about hard-working Arizonans facing hard times. Sarah lost her job as a mortgage banker in early 2011. After living on her savings for more than six months, she ran out of money and lost her family’s home. Left homeless, Sarah and her son spent a few months in two different emergency shelters before a unit at Save the Family became available. “Homelessness can be traumatizing,” Sarah said. “However, Save the Family made the experience for my family very positive. We participated in case management, educational and personal growth classes, child care, youth, and social activities. These services helped me regain control of my finances, feelings and future.” Christmas came early in 2012 for Sarah’s family when, after 10 months at Save the Family, the family moved into their own home in December. For nearly 25 years, Save the Family has been empowering families to conquer homelessness and achieve life-long independence. The agency was founded in 1988 by local business professionals in response to growing concern about the lack of services for homeless families in the community. Save the Family envisions communities that are free from family homelessness. To achieve this vision, the organization provides transitional housing, case management and a variety of supportive services to families utilizing the program. Save the Family operates 62 scattered-site transitional housing units in Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe and Gilbert that families can reside in for up to 24 months. It also operates Rapid Rehousing and Supportive
Services for Veteran families programs. In total, Save the Family serves more than 200 families and 650 persons each year. Case managers work with each family to assess and address individual needs to maximize their opportunity to achieve self-sufficiency. Families meet with case managers on a weekly basis to review their progress. In addition to case management, families in the program are provided with a variety of empowerment services. These services include intervention/prevention education, workforce development, financial literacy education, legal, dental and vision services, a food pantry, child care services, transportation services, household furnishings and supplies, and clothing. Save the Family clients’ successes include high school diplomas, home ownership, fulltime employment, college degrees, scholarships, good credit scores and savings accounts. This is life-changing work, and together, Trends Charitable Fund and Save the Family have partnered in 2013 to make even more miracles happen with a $40,000 grant to fund transitional housing and specialized training for staff in Trauma-Informed Practices and Motivational Interviewing to ensure that every client interaction at Save the Family is consistent with the trauma-recovery process.
How You Can Help: Volunteer: Save the Family has opportunities for individuals, groups and organizations to donate their time. Activities include youth mentoring and activities, refreshing family units, organizing snacks, hosting in-kind drives and much more. In-Kind Goods: Save the Family is always in need of in-kind donations to assist families on their journey to self-sufficiency. These items include household and hygiene products, gently-used clothing and nonperishable food items. The agency offers pick-up service for gently-used furniture. For a current list of needs or to schedule a donation pick-up, please visit www.savethefamily.org. Monetary Donations: Donors can invest in Save the Family’s work by visiting www.savethefamily.org/donate or by calling 602.898.0228 to make a tax deductible donation.

IN THE PINK
SMELLBENT ON SUCCESS
From the time she was a little girl, Andrea Evans knew she wanted to run her own store. Armed with a degree in Fashion Merchandising with a minor in business, she interned at three design markets before joining In the Pink Boutique in Phoenix as an employee. After a few years of working at In the Pink, she bought the company from the owner. The Arizona native has now brought the store into a younger, fresher direction. In the Pink offers unique home accessories, furniture, and the best gifts for girlfriends as well as family members. After doing Web research and traveling to New York, Dallas, California, and Europe, Evans brings in items to sell in the shop and online. She makes three or four trips a year to find unique items. Evans focuses on the Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Arcadia markets, selling one-of-a-kind accessories and gifts. “I want to stay exclusive,” Evans says. “I want to keep that special feeling within the store and online for my customers.”
Brent Leonesio is an Arizona native, but he’s gone L.A. on us, and while there he and his partners have started an amazing Web site. Smellbent is an L.A.-based niche perfume company that comes up with super fun fragrances that will delight the nose and the funny bone. They hand-blend fragrances using the world’s finest ingredients, but you wouldn’t guess it from the prices. “We think that perfume should be fun and shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg,” he says. “We know life can be hard, but it shouldn’t have to smell bad.” Smellbent offers samples so you can try something before you buy it. “We know that buying perfume on the Internet is kind of weird, but we do it all the time.” The company uses natural ingredients. “Unlike their synthetic counterparts, they don’t all take to being mixed in solution. So, if you notice sediment in the bottle of your fragrance, or your oil comes with a ‘shake me’ label, this is why. Don’t worry, the appearance of these ingredients will only add to the complexity of your scent.” You want to know something like, Is this perfume vegan friendly? Brent encourages you to e-mail and ask. They love talking scent.
In the Pink boutique is at 4422 E. Camelback Road, Suite B, Phoenix. 602.957.7270 or www.inthepinkboutique.com.
If you’re in the area, visit them at 7985 Santa Monica Blvd., No. 31, West Hollywood, Calif. 90046. Or visit www.smellbent.com. Brent is at brent@smellbent.com.
GET GROUNDED Arizona resident Sharon Whiteley wondered why she felt so good after walking on bare grass or feeling beach sand between her toes. She did a little research. Sharon found there’s actual research suggesting that free radicals in our bodies that cause inflammation and irritation can be neutralized to some extent by what’s called “earthing,” making contact with ground beneath us. She put this theory into a practical test and invented pluggz shoes. Each pair of pluggz contains black plugs made of a carbon and rubber compound that sit under the weight-bearing part of the foot. According to Whiteley, the plugs are designed to allow the flow of free electrons into our bodies. The free electrons, the theory goes, help neutralize free radicals in the body. The first time someone wears pluggz, her company claims, they “might feel a small sensation coming from the ball of the foot. That’s the plug going to work. As you wear them you’re likely to start feeling what other pluggz wearers have reported feeling: more balanced, more energized, a sense of well-being, or calmer or fewer aches and pains.” That’s quite a claim, but you never know. For men pluggz come in flip-flops. For women there are flip-flops and comfortable ballet flats. Let us know if you get results. Visit www.pluggz.com for more information or to order a pair.

Spotlight on the Heard Museum ‘Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam, and the Land’ A Sept. 28 exhibit at the Heard Museum illustrates the influence of New Mexico on an icon of American art: Georgia O’Keeffe. This standout artist drew inspiration from the wide open lands of what became her home state. It’s fair to say O’Keeffe may never have become the artist so many people know today without New Mexico. Its brilliant skies, sharp colors and quality of light fill the paintings she’s famous for. This Heard Museum exhibit will host paintings paired with katsina dolls and other Hopi artwork that drew her to the region. O’Keeffe began spending part of each year in New Mexico in 1929. During that first summer, she explored her new environment in at least 23 paintings, experimenting with new colors, forms and compositional strategies. Twenty years later she made northern New Mexico her permanent home. The paintings in the exhibit, ranging from 1929 to 1953, bring to light the formal and cultural interests that drew O’Keeffe to New Mexico from New York. The exhibit also includes 15 rarely seen paintings of eight different katsina dolls, which are carved and painted representations of Hopi and Pueblo spirit beings called katsinam. The Heard is putting a nice spin on the exhibit by displaying examples of the katsina dolls depicted in the O’Keeffe paintings. “Kachina,” 1934

Authors Luncheon 2013, continuing the tradition Delia Ephron
Did you know Arizona ranks among the top states in the nation for kidney patient services? In large part this is due to the funds raised by this annual event, the Authors Luncheon, which this year will be held for the 34th time on Nov. 9 at the Arizona Biltmore. The Arizona Women’s Board, through its annual Authors Luncheon, has raised over $9.5 million for patients suffering from kidney disease in Arizona. This luncheon has consistently been an exciting event. Best-selling authors, who give speeches
Kathy Reichs
and sign copies of their books, are united with generous Arizonans who want to give to a good cause and meet their favorite authors. This year’s authors include Lisa Scottoline author of “Accused,” Linda Fairstein, author of “Death Angel,” Delia Ephron, author of “Sister Mother Husband Dog,” Kathy Reichs, author of “Bones of the Lost,” and Wally Lamb, author of “We Are Water.” The event will be emceed by Adriana Trigiani, an award winning playwright, television writer and documentary filmmaker.
Wally Lamb
Traditionally this is a sold-out event with over 1,100 people in attendance. All proceeds go to kidney patient services in Arizona. Patient aid includes transportation to and from dialysis, vital medications, food supplements, kidney transplants, dental care and even emergency housing needs. Money has also been granted for kidney disease research. This year’s luncheon chair is Julie Vogel. The festivities begin at 10 a.m. For more information visit www.authorsluncheonaz.org.

TRENDS IN DINING
Avanti By Laurie Florence-Manucci On a recent evening we went to Avanti. I had not been in several years and now I realize what I have been missing! Might I say, the food was simply amazing, some of the best and authentic Italian food in town. Upon entering the restaurant that’s a little off the beaten path, you are transformed decades back. Images of expensive dinner rings, crisp linens, fresh flowers and tuxedo-clad waiters remind you of a more polite era, a time when dining was fine dining, an event in itself. The minute you set foot inside, starting with the impeccable service by our waiter, Andrew, you will know what true classic Italian food and service is all about. From the start you will get a nostalgic feeling. The décor is predominately black and white and the walls are covered with all of the celebrities and/or locals who have frequented the restaurant over the years. There is Eddie Basha, Ringo Starr, Joe Torre and Larry King, to name a few. They even have their original menu posted, circa 1975, with some of their original menu items such as Frog Legs Avanti, 6 Medium Frog legs gently sautéed in herb butter and fresh tomatoes for $8.95, Veal Ossobuco for $9.25 and Duck a L’Orange for $9.25. Even though 38 years later the prices are higher, the quality remains the same. We recently took advantage of the spaghetti and lobster summer special, which is linguini topped with a marinara sauce that is simply delicious served with 1½ to 2 pounds of succulent lobster meat and sautéed vegetables. I ordered the Cioppino, which is one of my favorite dishes, and this by far was one of the best in town. It was simply brimming with seafood including shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams with a delicious and hearty sauce and broth. The broth is perfect for dipping the equally delicious bread into! We would definitely recommend Avanti and will be going back soon to sample a number of their other specialties and menu items like Dover Sole Mariniere, Veal Milanese, Grilled Lamb Chops and Homemade Lasagna. In two words … Bon Appetit! Avanti is located at 2728 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix. 602.956.0900 or www.avanti-az.com.

Hosting the holidays: The guest bathroom Easily overlooked in favor of tableware, place settings and food, the powder rooms in your home can make a big difference in your guests’ experience. Bathroom preparations can be more difficult than one might assume. Effectively displaying and storing towels, tissues, excess toilet paper, medications and toiletries can be challenging. Proper furnishings are necessary to arrange everything in a tasteful, yet visible and practical manner. And small details make a difference. A pretty towel stand may make your guests reluctant to disrupt your set-up. Monogrammed guest towels are popular with our customers as an upscale alternative to paper towels, but for smaller parties or ambitious hostesses, a pretty palette of washcloths or tea towels may work.

St. Vincent de Paul’s Restoring Hope Breakfast This year’s Restoring Hope Breakfast will be Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Arizona Biltmore. The breakfast is free, and there will be an opportunity for people to share their many blessings with those in need. It’s a great chance to network with a number of well-connected people and will be an inspiring start to your holiday season. Shannon Clancy answered some questions for us about this inspiring event. What does the Society of St. Vincent de Paul do? At the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, we feed, clothe, house and heal individuals and families in our community who have nowhere else to turn for help. We provide meaningful opportunities for volunteers to serve their neighbors in need with love and compassion. Our programs include charity dining rooms, health care for the uninsured, thrift stores, emergency food boxes, transitional housing, and rental and utility assistance. What’s your role in the organization? As the director of development, it’s my role to tell stories that inspire people to get involved. Fortunately, those stories are everywhere at St. Vincent de Paul: the young girl who finally learned to read in our Family
Dining Room with the help of a volunteer or the single mom who got her teeth fixed in our dental clinic and now proudly smiles from the front desk at her new job. What is the Restoring Hope Breakfast? The breakfast is an inspiring and moving event where we share the stories of people whose lives have been transformed. I’m sure many guests at the breakfast will be surprised to learn the scope of St. Vincent de Paul’s work. It’s our largest and most important annual fundraising event and a significant source of funding for our programs. How is SVdP funded? Most of our funds come from generous contributions of all sizes made by individuals and families in our community. We also receive some funding from grants as well as donations from local companies. There are still many people who don’t know that the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, up to $400 for a couple, on your Arizona state income tax return. If you would like an invitation to our breakfast, please contact Dixye at 602.850.6731 or send an e-mail to rsvp@svdp-phx-az. org. Seating is limited, so you must have a reservation to attend.

Spotlight on the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art In his publication “The Interaction of Color,” artist and teacher Josef Albers argued that there is no way to understand colors except in relationship to one another. He laid out a series of exercises by which to explore the ways adjacent colors appear to change one another. These assignments reveal the
complex relativity of vision – how the same shade of green looks different placed on a blue background than on yellow; or how three different reds on a white background look similar, but become distinct when placed on yet another red. In a show organized by SMoCA, Albers prints will be on view from his 1972 portfolio, “Formulation: Articulation.” They will be shown alongside works by other artists who shared Albers’ fascination with color. Renowned for his teaching and his paintings, Albers is a critical figure in 20th-century art. He immigrated to the United States in 1933. In 1950, he began his chromatic inves-

Phoenix Theatre On Oct. 26, Phoenix Theatre will reveal one of the most significant expansions of a performing arts facility in the Southwest. Phoenix Theatre’s REVEAL! Grand Opening Gala will honor individuals who have contributed to the quality of life in the Valley. Vincent VanVleet is managing director of Phoenix Theatre. Tell us about your expansion: This $15 million capital expansion will forever change the face of Phoenix Theatre. The grand opening of this new facility will reveal a 250-seat black box theater, soaring atrium lobby and expanded patron and entertainment spaces. What is the history of Phoenix Theatre? Phoenix Theatre is one of the oldest operating arts organizations in the country and the largest producing theater in Arizona. Originally founded as the Phoenix Players in 1920, it was almost immediately renamed Phoenix Little Theater and in 1981 became Phoenix Theatre. In 1952, the
theater won funding for the construction of a new building at the core of a cultural district that would eventually include the Phoenix Art Museum and Phoenix Public Library. How does a thriving arts community help the overall community? We spend $800,000 annually on our education and outreach programs. We draw audiences from a wide range of ages, incomes and geographical locations who engage with us around a diverse set of theatrical offerings, from classic musicals to nonmusicals and comedies. We are deeply embedded within the local nonprofit community, providing low- or no-cost facilities, meeting spaces, theater space and artistic and production services. A thriving arts community is at the heart of a great city. We are creating a center for American theater right here in Phoenix that will ensure that our contribution to this vibrant cultural landscape lives on for generations. For tickets or information, please contact Melanie Dillman at 602.889.6317 or m.dillman@phoenixtheatre.com.

Beaux Arts Bash marks school’s 30th birthday By Bill Macomber This is the best place in Arizona and the best night of the year to buy original art for less than you can believe. The Scottsdale Artists’ School’s Beaux Arts Bash has long been known to insider art lovers as a fantastic place to bid on wonderful paintings and sculptures. The silent bidding gets intense, but there are opportunities in every price range. I bought two wonderful paintings a few years back. They were around $50 each and they still hang in my home. This year’s bash will be a night of mingling with other art lovers. There’s music and food on the courtyard, this year with a Southwest focus on the food. Mainly it’s just a great change to rub shoulders with artists and art buyers. There should be around 150 internationally acclaimed artists represented. A raffle of an amazing sculpture by John Coleman (see picture) as well as live demonstrations are planned.
To make it all extra special, this year’s bash marks the school’s 30th year. The place has brought so much culture to Old Town. This school is an incredible resource to aspiring painters and sculptors. The artists who make guest teaching visits are the best not just in the West but in the country. This year is also special because the school just brought on in July a new executive director – Sherry Sklar. She brings years of arts experience and a passion for beauty to the job, and we welcome her. Long story short, if you’ve never been to this event, make this year your first. You’ll be back.

The date is Nov. 9. The school is at 3720 N. Marshall Way. Tickets are $125. To buy a ticket or for more information, call 480.990.1422 or visit www.scottsdaleartschool.org. “Grandmother’s Wisdom” by John Coleman

Heroes Patriotic Luncheon The Heroes Patriotic Lunch eon is a fundraising effort to support the Veterans Medical Leadership Council (VMLC) Returning Warrior Program, and to offer the community an opportunity to honor U.S. troops and veterans. Five honorees representing their peers in the five military services, and various war eras will be honored at the Heroes Luncheon. The luncheon will be Nov. 8 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. Rita Brock Perini is the luncheon’s chairperson. How is the luncheon planned and presented? It is planned by the VMLC Luncheon Planning Committee, assisted by the VMLC Ambassadors Susie Wesley, Josie Herrera, Jane Christensen, Patsy Lugo, Sue Glawe and Joel Barthelemy. The group was initiated in 2011 to increase event awareness. In 2009, the Cowgirls Historical Foundation, led by Nicole Bonilla, president, and Patricia Gomez, board member, partnered with the
VMLC by selling raffle tickets at the luncheon. Riding in the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade, they dedicated the ride to U.S. troops and took pledges for the VMLC Returning Warrior Program. Staff at Gordon C. James Public Relations and ASU intern Nikki Oshea worked tirelessly to assure the event’s success. How are luncheon funds distributed? The VMLC Returning Warrior Program is funded to assist returning troops from Afghanistan, Iraq and veterans of other wars who find themselves in immediate need of financial assistance to resolve a financial crisis. VMLC supports other veterans organizations that offer direct assistance to troops and veterans such as programs that bring homeless men and women off the streets for a weekend of social services. We also support shelter services that provide dental care for veterans. Gift cards are available for emergency needs such as food, clothing and gas for automobiles to keep important medical appointments, attend rehabilitation programs, job training or to get to work. For more information visit arizonavmlc.org.

Brophy Fashion Show The 2013 Brophy Fashion Show will be Oct. 30 at the Westin Kierland Resort. Every year, tuition money is raised to help kids go to this fine school. Saks Fifth Avenue helps, as do other businesses. This year’s chairs are Susan Charlton and Coleen Edwards. What makes Brophy Fashion Show different? The Brophy Fashion Show is less about fundraising and far more about how Brophy gives back to the community. The Brophy Fashion Show has helped to raise more than $6.3 million, 100 percent of which has been channeled into financial aid for students who qualify solely based on need. So every year, between 200 to 250 young men who might not otherwise be able to attend Brophy receive tuition support. Tell us more about how Brophy gives back? An investment in the Brophy Fashion Show is an investment in the lives of over 1,250 young men who every year are making a difference in their communities. Brophy students will spend over 2,400 hours per month between their freshmen and senior years volunteering.
But just as important, Brophy continues to give through the service of its impressive alumni. How does this fit into Brophy’s mission? The true measure of any Jesuit institution, Brophy included, is the difference it makes in the lives of the community in which it operates. Brophy insists that it will never be enough to simply be a premier, college-prep school. What matters is that every year young men who might never be able to afford it receive access to a rigorous academic curriculum that puts them on a path to change their lives and the lives of their families. So how can someone support Brophy through the fashion show? First, anyone can attend. Purchase a ticket and come and enjoy an elegant afternoon of lunch and fashions. You can also make a direct contribution to the Brophy Financial Aid Fund. Finally, you can purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win a cash prize of $5,000 or several other amazing prizes. Your support changes lives. For more information please contact Susan Charlton at paulandsusan1@cox.net or 602.820-5632.

Girl Scouts’ Women & Young Women of Distinction Awards The 19th annual Women & Young Women of Distinction Awards luncheon celebrates extraordinary achievements by women and girls in the community who represent the principles of the Girl Scouts. The awards ceremony is Nov. 16 at the Arizona Biltmore and is open to the public. It is chaired by Jackie Norton this year. Tell us about Women and Young Women of Distinction and why it was established. This event is a beautiful, yet rare, look into the outcomes of Girl Scouting for our community. The Women and Young Women of Distinction Awards aim to elevate the real impact of Girl Scouts. The awards honor current and former Girl Scouts, and community members who have made Arizona a better place. Why are you chairing Women and Young Women of Distinction? I am a Girl Scout sister and was honored to be the recipient of the Leadership Distinction Award last year. I am devoted to giving young people a better chance for success. Girl Scout participation drives academic success; girls gain leadership experience which helps them solve problems and overcome challenges.
Why should people attend Women and Young Women of Distinction? To support our current and future female leaders! Girls represent our greatest under-utilized talent pool with the greatest potential to positively impact our future. How will the money that is raised benefit Girl Scouts? Girl Scouting should be made affordable to every girl, regardless of her family income. That is why the council invests 20 times the cost of annual dues families pay for a full year of skill-building programs. This is the only major council-wide fundraising luncheon held by the Girl Scouts and will fund expansion of the council’s offerings. What is the biggest misconception about Girl Scouts? Girl Scouts is more than crafts, camps and cookies. It is about developing future leaders of this country. Many people don’t realize Girl Scouts provides a first-class leadership experience for girls. These are things that girls need now more than ever in today’s complex world. To purchase tickets and see all honorees on the Girl Scouts Web site, visit www.girlscoutsaz.org/wywd.

Sadie puts the “up” in “puppy!” This boisterous 9-month-old black Labrador mix loves to play, but her energy was too much for her owners, who may have tired of the games of fetch or the daily walks Sadie loved so much. Thus she was brought to the Arizona Humane Society to find a more suitable family – preferably an active go-getter who will appreciate her enthusiasm for life. As long as she’s moving she’s happy. An abundance of toys, a little training/socialization and plenty of fun activities will keep her content. She doesn’t mind sharing the couch or plopping on a dog bed. She is available now at the Sunnyslope Adoption Center located at 9226 N. 13th Ave., Phoenix. Her adoption fee is $160 and includes her spay surgery and vaccines. Call 602.997.7585, Ext. 2045 and ask for animal ID number A448492.
Lola
Lola is a 3-month-old tabby cat with many talents. She will play with anything that wiggles or moves, she can hurdle to the top level of the cat condo in one leap. She has a thundering purr and will even give kitty massages by kneading her velvet paws on your back while you lay on the couch. She is great with other playful, friendly felines, and wonderful with dogs and with kids of all ages. If she sounds like the purr-fect addition to your family call 602.997.7585, Ext. 1045 and ask for animal ID number A442730 or visit the Campus for Compassion located at 1521 W. Dobbins Road, Phoenix.
