ABOUT:    The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Arizona, headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., a non-profit donor-supported organization, is dedicated to assuring the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improving the quality of life for those with the disease. The Foundation is the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is the #1 life shortening disease of children and young adults in the U.S. It is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. While today there exists no cure, an arsenal of remedies have been produced to help treat the disease, dramatically extending the life expectancy of people living with CF For more information about Cystic Fibrosis Foundation visit www.cff.org.

New Technology Helps Protect Sleeping Infants - And Gives Parents Peace Of  Mind.
www.snuza.com (West Hollywood, California) -- In recent years the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been reducing, but it is still the leading cause of death for babies in their first year of life. Despite the overall reduction in SIDS, parents are still being cautious by turning to under-mattress movement monitoring devices on the market.  These conventional devices have brought some comfort to parents but just not enough.  So now a new baby movement monitoring technology is being brought to North America by Pneo.  The Snuza Halo is a small, light, portable device that provides a unique new way to effectively monitor a sleeping infant.

How Does Snuza Halo Work?  http://www.snuza.com/pages/en/how-snuza-works/using-snuza.php
The Snuza Halo monitors the baby's movement by clipping, not to the crib mattress, but gently to the baby's diaper near the stomach.   This ultra sensitive motion detector monitors and recognizes the baby's movement constantly.   If the Snuza Halo does not sense movement within a 15 second time period, it does what you would do - try to stimulate your baby to breathe again. Snuza Halo does this by activating a pulsed vibration, which  imitates a technique used by Hospital Neonatal Care Units worldwide called "Cutaneous Stimulation".  If movement is not sensed within a further 5 seconds of the vibration, an audible alarm is triggered to alert the parents to the problem.

"Many of the infant monitors currently on the market are large, complicated to set-up and have electrical cables or straps which babies may get tangled
in," explains Charlotte Wenham, a Registered Nurse and Business Manager for Pneo, makers of the Snuza Halo. "The Snuza is tiny yet extremely effective
and poses no danger to the infant whatsoever."

The Snuza Halo sells for $199 and will soon be available in retailers all over North America.

For more information on the Snuza Halo or to find a retailer near you, visit www.snuza.com

The purpose of the Walk is to raise the funds necessary to provide services to people with lupus and their families, to provide education to the public, patients and healthcareprofessionals, to advance the Lupus Foundation of America’s research priorities, and to advocate for people with lupus at the local, state and federal levels

¨Walk for Lupus Now will take place in more than 50 communities nationwide in 2009

¨Support for the Walk is raised through corporate sponsorship and individuals who ask for support from family, friends and colleagues

 How Can I be Involved?

 Corporations:    Serve as a corporate sponsor of an event, solicit teams from your company, make an in-kind donation, and identify high-level executives to serve on a Corporate Committee

About Lupus

 

¨       Lupus is a chronic, potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease that can cause damage to virtually any organ in the body, especially the skin, joints, blood and kidneys.

¨       Throughout the country, there are an estimated 1.5 million people living with lupus

¨       More than half of the people with lupus suffer four or more years and visit three or more doctors before receiving a correct diagnosis.

¨       Late diagnosis and delayed treatment contribute to significant tissue damage leading to organ failure, disability and death.

¨       Based on a nationwide poll in April, 2005, two out of three Americans know little to nothing about lupus.

¨       Although lupus can occur at any age, and in either sex, it is a disease that discriminates - 90% of people with lupus are women in the prime of their lives. Lupus is also more prevalent in African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians.

 

About the Lupus Foundation of America

 

¨       The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) is the nation’s leading non-profit voluntary health organization dedicated to providing programs and services to individuals with lupus and their families. The Lupus Foundation of America has 50 chapters and support groups in 32 states.

¨       The mission of the Lupus Foundation of America is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of lupus, support individuals and families affected by the disease, increase awareness of lupus among health professionals and the public, and find the causes and cure

¨       The Lupus Foundation of America and its Chapters energetically pursue this important mission with five program objectives designed to:

o        Heighten public awareness of the causes and consequences of lupus.

o        Support individuals with lupus, their families and caregivers.

o        Provide direct financial support to researchers.

o        Advocate increased public and private sector support for biomedical research on lupus.

o        Translate research findings into medically-sound information and programs for physicians and other healthcare professionals.

Summer Fun Ends with Back to School Bash at Recess Kids Club

(MESA, Ariz.) To keep the summer fun going despite the heat, the kids’ entertainment mecca and short-term childcare center Recess Kids Club, located in the Dana Park Village Square in Mesa, will be themed “Luau” in June and “Farm Animals” in July with a fully decorated facility where kids can enjoy fun themed activities, foods and field trips.

 “We want to be a place for ‘recess’ in every sense of the word,” said Owner and Mompreneur Shellie Berry.

“With not many outside activities available during the summer months, we plan on keeping it cool inside with continuous summer activities for Valley kids to stay entertained and have fun while their parents run errands or have a recess of their own.”

 June’s “Luau” theme will turn Recess Kids Club into an island beach, where kids can watch island themed movies, such as Stitch, enjoy pineapple snacks, barbecue meals, play limbo and interactive fun activities, such as making flip flops, visors and decorating sunglasses. While July’s “Farm Animal” theme will make Recess Kids Club resemble a farm, complete with hay and a barn where kids can watch movies like Babe, enjoy farm fresh foods, play pin the tail on the donkey and enjoy farm themed arts and crafts. 

 To keep the momentum going and welcome the new school year Recess Kids Club will also be having an Open House Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 1 that is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. While more details are to be announced soon, the event will include food, drinks, vendor booths and activities for every member of the family.

In the last years of his life, famous Grand Canyon painter and Flagstaff resident, Louis Akin was briefly married to a young woman from Philadelphia. Largely forgotten in Flagstaff after Akin's death, her identity and the details of their marriage soon faded into obscurity. But Akin's mysterious wife had a story all her own. Young, single, independent and restless, Mai Richie Reed had originally set out to explore the southwest at a time when Arizona was still a rough territory and women did not yet have the right to vote. During her brief - but active - years in the west, she explored the Grand Canyon on trails now largely forgotten, hiked to the mesa-top pueblo of Acoma, climbed glaciers in a newly-established Glacier National Park and helped build one of Flagstaff's landmark buildings. Based on Reed's recently rediscovered travel journals and photographs as well as extensive original research, this presentation will tell a little-known story of traveling adventure, ill-fated romance, and one of northern Arizona's most overlooked early citizens.

Jun 27 "Arizona Mineral Belt Railroad" - Richard and Sherry Mangum, Historians- The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad was a major transcontinental line, costing a fortune to build. When it was completed across Arizona in 1883, the door was opened for smaller investors to build branch lines. Col. Eddy dreamed of a railroad from Flagstaff to Globe. It would carry timber to the mines and return to Flagstaff with ore. The line would carry passengers as well as freight and would open up a huge region of central Arizona to commerce. Eddy raised $54,000 and used it to build a tunnel on the face of the Mogollon Rim in 1883, then had to stop when he ran out of funds. The story is a fascinating chapter in the history of Flagstaff. You will learn about the railroad, the men connected to it, how logging was carried on before and after the railroad was built, and how Lake Mary was built.

Arizona Students Place in Safeway Lucerne(R) "The Art of Dairy"(TM) Contest

 Safeway Inc. (SWY) and its exclusive Lucerne(R) dairy brand announced the names of the grand prize, first prize and honorable achievement winners of the Lucerne(R) The Art of Dairy(TM) "Taste of Moo-sic(TM)" art contest. The contest, now in its fourth year, promotes strong bones and creative growth, encouraging the artistic ability of the students and highlighting the importance of art education in schools. It challenges high school and middle school students from across the country to blend their interest in music with the dairy products necessary to a healthy lifestyle.

Using the theme of "Taste of Moosic," students were asked to illustrate their visions of music and dairy products using an outline of a cow as the canvas. From the more than 9,000 entries, 30 finalists were chosen to transfer their designs to life-sized fiberglass cow sculptures. A panel of judges reviewed the entries and selected contest winners who will share in nearly $60,000 in prizes.

Grand Prize Winner: Abigail Mota of La Mirada High School in La Mirada, California won the top prize of $30,000 for her black and white abstract titled "Take It All In," which depicts musical instruments, music notes with ice cream and flowing milk intermingled with nature landscapes and random shapes. She will receive $20,000 for her school's art department, plus $5,000 each for herself and her art teacher. During judging, Abigail's cow was on display at a Vons store in Safeway's Southern California division.

First Prize Winner: Nicolei Gupit of John Marshall High School in Los Angeles was the First Prize winner. Nicolei, who attends the same school as 2008 Grand Prize winner John Taing, painted a rock concert with a cow band on a stage made of Swiss cheese performing in front of a herd of milk-bottle-waving fans. For her "Rock N' Moo" design, Nicolei wins $5,000 for her school's art department, plus $2,500 each for herself and her art teacher. During judging, her cow was also on display at a Vons store in Safeway's Southern California division.

Honorable Achievements:

-- Angie Kwon of Chandler High School in Chandler, Arizona was an Honorable Achievement recipient. For her "Classical Cataclysm" design, she will receive $1,000 each for herself and her art teacher.

-- Abner Cabriales of MISD - Legacy High School in Mansfield, Texas was another Honorable Achievement recipient. He will receive $1,000 each for himself and his art teacher for his "Plunge into Moosic," which included a working sound system installed by the student.

-- Deja Soleil Neblina of School of Arts and Enterprise in Pomona, California was the additional Honorable Achievement recipient. She will receive $1,000 each for herself and her art teacher for her design titled "Lacto-Licious (2% Mix)."

The remaining finalists will receive $500 U.S. Savings Bonds, bringing the total prize pool for the winners and finalists to nearly $60,000.

Lucerne has nourished generations of families with wholesome dairy products that support good health and happy eating. It continues to nourish both the bodies and minds of today's generation through this cross-curriculum art contest, which integrates multiple areas of education and enables students to share their own unique perspectives with their communities.

In previous years, the contest centered on a "Cows in History" theme, in which students combined their knowledge of history with a creative bovine twist. This year marks the first time that entrants were asked to share their passion for music through visual art. Students from Washington, D.C. to Hawaii and throughout the U.S. stepped up to the challenge and visualized a range of music genres, performances and events, from cows singing country music to a bovine American Idol show. The finalists, chosen in February, then transferred their designs to a life-size, fiberglass cow. Final judging took place in late April.

The panel of judges included Mary Scott, Chair of the School of Graphic Design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco; Mary Ellen Poole, Dean of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; and a team of Safeway marketing and Lucerne brand development professionals.

The contest is one of hundreds of education-based programs and initiatives Safeway supports throughout its areas of operation. In 2008 Safeway provided $22 million in financial support to schools and education programs through the eScrip program. The eScrip program allows shoppers to raise money for schools simply by making purchases. Safeway donates a percentage of each shopping trip directly to their chosen school.

Hydroxycut Danger
Hydroxycut contains concentrated green tea (which contains caffeine), as well as Garcinia cambogia and Gymnema sylvestre, which are herbs from India that are said to regulate blood sugar. Unfortunately, this unique combination of natural herbs has potentially devastating side effects.

and offer a unique way of savings through barter in tough economic times! West Valley Barter is aimed at business professionals wanting a unique way to sell and buy their products and services in these cautious market conditions.

(PRWEB) May 18, 2009 -- West Valley Barter is aimed at business professionals wanting a unique way to sell and buy their products and services in these cautious market conditions.

West Valley Barter is a member of The International Barter Alliance (IBA), which allows members to have access to over 50,000 businesses nationwide. Because of the vast diversity of businesses involved, members can enjoy an extended range of services on barter such as: hotel accommodations, business services and restaurant certificates throughout the world.

In the current economic climate many business owners have a number of services they would consider bartering. West Valley Barter provides such clients with an inexpensive tool to access exclusive businesses or organizations seeking services in the west valley.

With West Valley Barter, companies and individuals alike can hire these professionals on trade.

Heather Brown, a West Valley Barter member and owner of a graphic design and marketing company said, "My investment in West Valley Barter nearly tripled within the first week of being a member! As a result of West Valley Barter, my business has grown and I made numerous networking contacts. Now that I have money in my barter bank, I am spending it on items I would normally pay cash for."

Though a relatively new concept in the West Valley, barter is now being considered a creative yet successful way to negotiate the market slump. West Valley Barter believes that this exchange system has the potential to become one of the surest and most secure revenue models within the West Valley due to the range of options and convenience it provides to both buyers and sellers.

Along with barter services, West Valley Barter is dedicated in growing businesses by hosting monthly networking mixers.

Sprinkles Cupcakes Supporting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
Sprinkle some money for a limited edition cupcake and a worthy cause
(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) – Sprinkles Cupcakes and MIX 96.9 DJ Chris Parker have partnered up in order to raise money and promote awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. From June 8th through June 10th, 100% of the proceeds from Sprinkles’ Triple Chocolate cupcake will go directly to supporting cystic fibrosis. Decorated with the letter “C,” the limited edition triple chocolate is a brand new flavor from Sprinkles and is made of Belgian dark chocolate cake with bittersweet chocolate frosting topped with bittersweet chocolate ganache, a delectable treat for a great cause.

“There are about 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year,” says Sprinkles President and Co-Founder Charles Nelson. “This is the second year Sprinkles Cupcakes has joined forces with AZ’s Finest to raise funds for Cystic Fybrosis. We are thrilled to continue to help fund research for a cure.”

AZ's Finest is an elite group of Arizona’s most prominent people that honor professional and charitable achievements. Chris Parker was selected as one of 20 single business men and women to be honored in 2009. All honorees have pledged their commitment to AZ’s Finest crusade to individually raise a minimum of $3,000 throughout the campaign in honor of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

“It’s a tremendous privilege to be an honoree, but even more so to see the change and progress in the individuals with this disease,” says Parker. “Children and adults living with Cystic Fibrosis are leading healthier lives and living longer because the strides the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has accomplished.”

A longtime fan of Sprinkles’ delicious treats, Parker is excited to have The Original Cupcake Bakery on board again after the success of last year’s limited edition cupcake fundraiser for 2008 AZ’s Finest Honoree ABC 15’s Kaley O’Kelley, which raised $3,000 for Cystic Fibrosis.

“Apart from their popular desserts, Sprinkles is well respected for their philanthropic dedication,” Parker mentions. “The Founders, Candace and Charles Nelson are truly to thank, as their allegiance and passion are truly unparalleled.”

For more information visit www.Sprinkles.com or call (480) 970-4321. Sprinkles is located at 4501 N. Scottsdale Road on the northeast corner of Scottsdale and Camelback roads, across from Scottsdale Fashion Square.

ABOUT CYSTIC FIBROSIS FOUNDATION
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Arizona, headquartered in Phoenix, Ariz., a non-profit donor-supported organization, is dedicated to assuring the development
of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improving the quality of life for those with the disease. The Foundation is the leading organization in the
United States devoted to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is the #1 life shortening disease of children and young adults in the U.S. It is an inherited chronic disease
that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product
cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and obstructs the pancreas and stops
natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food. While today there exists no cure, an arsenal of remedies have been produced to help treat
the disease, dramatically extending the life expectancy of people living with CF. For more information about Cystic Fibrosis Foundation visit www.cff.org.

Valley View Community Food Bank nurtures ‘neighbors helping neighbors’ program at new site in Surprise  
JOY SLAGOWSKI  DAILY NEWS-SUN

   Surprise’s new food bank is introducing itself to the community with an open house and food drive.
   "We want the community to know this is a place for them to come if they need help or to volunteer," said Director Jesse Ramirez. "And the main thing is for the city of Surprise to come out and fill our warehouse with donated food."
   "It’s neighbors helping neighbors," Ramirez said.
   Valley View Community Food Bank, which opened its Surprise location (11081 N. Milgard Way, just southwest of Dysart and Varney roads) in March, is hosting the event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
   The independent food bank started two years ago at 11115 W. Nevada Ave. in Youngtown.
   The grand opening will feature a ribbon cutting with the Surprise Regional Chamber of Commerce at 10:30 a.m., and live musical entertainment.
   Hot dogs and tours of the warehouse and facility also will take place.
   The "Fire Up Freedom" fire truck will be on site.
   Ramirez said the Surprise Fire Department is conducting food drives at each of its locations — 22443 N. 163rd Ave., 16645 W. Clearview Blvd., 18600 N. Reems Road, 15440 N. Cotton Lane, 15517 N. Parkview Place, 16750 N. Village Drive East and 16171 W. Cactus Road — where residents can drop off nonperishables.
   Donations help more than 300 customers per day at the food bank locations, Ramirez said.
   The food bank also is introducing a program May 23 that will allow anyone to come in and get a bag of fresh produce and bread, no questions asked, only with the request they share with others in need.
   A new program with which the food bank is affiliated is making that possible, Ramirez said.
   "We don’t want any produce to go bad, and we are increasing the amount coming in and need to share that with the community," Ramirez said.
   Ramirez said he hopes the open house will inspire more people to volunteer, either as individuals or as groups.
   "We would love to have 150 to 200 more volunteers," Ramirez said. "We had 180 Boy Scouts come in and do a project a couple of weeks ago."

SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN YOUNG ATHLETES 
MORE THAN 300 YOUNG ATHLETES IN THE U.S. DIE SUDDENLY 

 
44th ANNUAL TOPS (TEAM OF PHYSICIANS FOR STUDENTS) FREE PHYSICALS MAY 2ND, SUNNYSLOPE HIGH SCHOOL (35 W. Dunlap, Phoenix)

Founded by Dr. Paul M. Steingard in 1965, nearly 3000 high school student athletes receive free physicals through this program annually

Major sponsors include Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association, Arizona Heart Institute, Midwestern University, John C. Lincoln Healthcare Foundation

 PHOENIX, AZ— While ECGs are used regularly in pre-screening athletes in Europe, particularly in Italy, debate has been ongoing as to whether the United States should call for more rigorous and broad health screening of athletes. The American Heart Association recommends deeper examination only if a first-line physical and family history raises questions or issues. The TOPS (Team of Physicians for Students) is addressing this issue by offering free physical exams, with cardiac screening, to Arizona student athletes.  The cardiac screenings, which include an electrocardiogram (EKG) and echocardiogram (ECHO), are based on a 20-year Italian program that dramatically reduced the incidence of sudden death in young athletes.   This year’s event is Saturday, May 2nd at Sunnyslope High School, (35 W. Dunlap in Phoenix).  For additional information, contact Betty Toothman, Steingard Medical Group, 602.336.7840 or www.aztops.org.

“Traditional thinking cites the high cost of EKGs and Echocardiograms as being prohibitive,” Dr. Paul M. Steingard, D.O., founder of the program now known as TOPS, explained.  “The cost of those tests can range up to $1000, when done by private physicians. When done in mass by volunteers, there is no cost to the athlete.  Every student athlete receives an EKG, which is read by a volunteer cardiologist from the Arizona Heart Institute.  Last year, six of the more than 2300 students tested at Sunnyslope were found to have cardiac related issues; 95 others had high blood pressure and an additional 22 had a variety of other medical concerns. Two other TOPS programs were held last year in Maricopa County drawing an additional 1300 students.”    

 Forty-four years ago, Paul Steingard, D.O., a local osteopathic physician and father of four, realized that many of his teenage patients were playing sports with serious injuries.  He believed that something should be done to protect these young people from possibly permanent injuries.  Thus was born what is now the TOPS (Team of Physicians for Students) Program.  Working in conjunction with the Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association (AOMA), which took over sponsorship of the program 15 years ago, and sponsors like Arizona Heart Institute, John C. Lincoln Healthcare Foundation and Midwestern University, the program has grown through the years to reach nearly 3000 students throughout Maricopa County. Thanks to the foresight of these sponsors, student athletes are now being diagnosed early with problems ranging from vision or hearing problems to more serious problems like potentially life threatening cardiac conditions.                                                                                  

What we were finding,” Dr. Paul Steingard explained, “was that many students from lower income families could not afford the physicals that were required to participate in sports.  Some of these kids were tremendous athletes but their parents did not have insurance.  When kids do not participate in sports, they may put their energies elsewhere.  We figured giving back to the community in this way was a ‘win-win’ situation.  Of course, I never realized it would get so big or that we would have other TOPS programs throughout the country.”                                     

Altogether in 2008 the TOPS program in Arizona screened 3588 student athletes.  The Glendale Union High School District, realizing the value of this program, provides the physical facilities and considerable resources including printing, announcements and manpower.  Additionally, TOPS partners with the Maricopa County Health Department, Physicians Physical Therapy Service, Arrowhead Hospital, Gilbert Hospital, Phillips Medical, Gateway Community College and numerous other groups for resources and volunteers.  The Valley of the Sun Chapter of the National Football Foundation coordinates the educational component, arranges for event security, and is developing a national training program and promotional campaign.

             A beautiful spring evening of art, artists, jewelry, upscale Southwestern culinary treats, wine and fun is in store for guests at Sharlot Hall Museum’s annual An Evening at Sharlot’s Place fundraiser on Saturday, May 9, 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

            The event includes a live art auction, an elegant silent auction, a jewelry raffle and an art exhibition complemented by luscious hors d’oeuvres prepared by Á la Carte Catering.

            The live auction features the donated works of 31 local and nationally recognized artists, including John Coleman  CA, Judith Durr, Joni Falk, Mike Greenfield, Jesse Hummingbird, Russell Houston, Stephen E. Lee, Alex Maldonado, Patricia Mathes, Bill Nebeker  CA, Bill Neely, Doug Oliver, Cynthia Rigden, G. Eric Slayton and Rafe Terry.

            A “quick draw” with artists Barbara Kimmel-Palmer and Jesse Hummingbird, and a “quick sculpt” with Cynthia Rigden, wood-carver Bill Neely and featured artist Stephen E. Lee are new activities for this year’s event. These works, completed during the evening, will be sold at the live auction.

            Other items included in the live auction include a ride in Sharlot Hall’s 1927 Durant Motors Star Four Touring car in Prescott’s Fourth of July parade, a behind-the-scene tour of Museum collections, and a catered dinner in the Museum’s historic Ranch House.

            The silent auction will include unique items from local merchants, exceptional selections from Sharlot’s Timeless Treasures gift store, and special gift baskets. An exclusive piece of jewelry will be raffled off.  This 48-inch necklace captures the beauty of Arizona. It is crafted from rare sleeping beauty turquoise with apatite and 14-karat gold spacers and features a dramatic horse pendant cast in sterling silver. The necklace will be on display beginning April 1 at Sharlot’s Timeless Treasures Museum Store where raffle tickets are on sale for $10 each and three for $20.

            This is a unique opportunity for area residents to meet and greet local artists and to purchase their work at attractive auction prices. Tickets are $40 per person or $60 per couple, and proceeds benefit the Museum. Reservations are required by April 25 and can be made by calling 928-445-3122 ext 15.

            Arizona history will come alive at the event with tables hosted by Living History interpreters: Sharlot M. Hall (Blue Rose Theater Director Jody Drake), John C. Frémont (John Langellier, Museum Executive Director), and a young Maynard Dixon (Steve Kile, Prescott Regulators).

            One of the highlights of the evening’s exhibition will be a Maynard Dixon watercolor sketch of a cowboy on a running horse that is inscribed by the artist as a gift to Sharlot M. Hall, the Museum’s founder and namesake. The Maynard Dixon exhibit can be seen during the event’s art preview dates, April 27 through May 9.

            Dixon, the noted illustrator, landscape, and mural painter of the early 20th-century American West, was a little-known painter from California in 1900 when he came to visit Hall in Prescott. They shared a passion for the arts and deep respect for the beauty of Arizona. Their time together prompted Dixon to declare, “Miss Hall is one worth knowing. In her quiet way she is a heroine.” Their friendship lasted for years. Both were inspired by Arizona and its rich heritage and each went on to play important roles in the history of the arts, Hall with her poetry and Dixon with his paintings.

            For more information on An Evening at Sharlot’s Place, call 928-445-3122 ext 15.  Information about this and other Sharlot Hall Museum events is available online at www.sharlot.org.

Late Nite Catechism By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times, Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive comedy.

Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are Guilty
By Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible. Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty."
