Thank you for including the Kiwanis Marketplace video in your recent newsletter. The behind the scenes tour was definitely outstanding. Sandra was a great guide. But what really impressed me was the funding tally board. The impact the Kiwanis Foundation has had in our community is incredible. Well done to everyone at Kiwanis.

Lyn,
Just thought I would drop you a line as I did the Mayor. As for
speed control; I am all for monitoring and control---except when THE
WHOLE TOWN IS A SPEED TRAP! and police become revenuers.
Just sayin,
Joe Intenzo
(Lyn's note: Yes, it's a fine line. Many residents over the years, and currently, have complained about speeders. Years ago, Carefree was listening to those complaining and got MCSO to really crack down on speeders. Then other residents complained about the crack down, and the businesses weren't happy because Carefree got the reputation of being a speed trap. Sometimes it seems like you just can't win...)
Cops vs Thugs
Why would anyone think a “Hug a Thug” program is better than an “Adopt A Cop” attitude.
Thugs cause harm to other thugs and good people. Most have little or no responsibility and plainly just don’t care. They want what is yours without working for it. Don’t live by any set of rules.
Cops risk their life to protect the communities against thugs. They live by a higher set of rules and standards and are scrutinized by others who have never been in their shoes. They want to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Many Police officers are faced with risk, or when an officer dies in the line of duty, it is while he was protecting a total stranger. Think about that one.
Adopt a cop in your area. Tell them you appreciate their stand against evils. Never should we hug a Thug.

Foothills Food Bank to produce annual event online
The 2020 Foothills Empty Bowls Project will be held completely online this fall. While the Art Auction has been online for several years, this is the first time in 21 years that the bowls also will be offered online.
Both the art auction and bowl sale will be held on the Foothills Food Bank’s website, foothillsfoodbank.com, which is sponsored by Tech4Life Computers & Websites. Individuals can bid on the art and purchase bowls donated by members and friends of the Sonoran Arts League, a key sponsor of the Empty Bowls Project.
“We are excited to offer the art auction and bowl sale online so people can support this worthy cause and spend the time they need to bid on their favorite works of art and purchase as many bowls as they like (sight unseen of course),” says Carole Perry, founder of the event. “The online event begins September 1, 2020 and concludes on World Hunger Day, Friday, October 16, 2020 at1:00 PM.
“Bidders and buyers can participate 24 hours a day if they wish,” says Perry. “Each bowl comes with a gift certificate, redeemable between October 19-23, 2020, for a spaghetti meal at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral, also a key sponsor. Bowl purchasers should note that they will be able to choose from a large selection of bowls when they pick up their bowl(s) at one of two locations between October 12-16, from 12-5 PM. The locations will be announced on social media and the food bank’s website.
Winning bids for the art auction will be announced after 1:00 PM on October 16, on the website, and directions for pick up of the art will be announced on social media and at the food bank’s website as well.
Foothills Food Bank provides emergency food, financial assistance and other life necessities and resources to individuals and families in the desert foothills, which encompasses a 180-square mile area that includes Black Canyon City, Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, Desert Hills, New River, north Scottsdale, Rio Verde and north Phoenix.
The Sonoran Arts League is committed to advancing art and art education, with a special focus on mentoring youth with the belief that arts training helps develop the ability to focus and strengthens cognitive skills in young people. It offers a number of Youth Art programs for students K-12.

FOOTHILLS CARING CORPS WELCOMES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Foothills Caring Corps, the local charity which through its extensive volunteer network and committed staff serves older Foothills neighbors as well as adults with disabling conditions, is welcoming its new leader, Robin Cochran. Robin was most recently the Chief Development Officer at Christian Care, Arizona’s largest nonprofit provider of senior living, which has 6 communities located throughout the state.
Robin, a resident of the Troon North neighborhood, notes that her decision to join FCC was driven in part by her desire to become more deeply connected to her local community. This impetus to help others in the community was originally fostered by her World War II veteran father and public servant mother, who encouraged Robin’s early passion to help others though participation in church and community volunteer activities and service projects, mostly assisting underserved seniors and at-risk teens in her native Mississippi community. Robin’s resolve to assist in improving others’ lives and advocate for the underserved led her to obtain a law degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law.
Robin spent her next decades in legal practice which included assisting individuals and families in estate planning, elder law, and probate matters, as well as real estate, tax, corporate and consumer finance issues. This provided her with experience in dealing with situations and problem-solving with clients, particularly older adults, and those in need of financial, estate and health care planning.
Over the years, Robin has also developed important charitable organization experience as she organized, planned, and chaired various fund-raising events, nonprofit campaigns, and legacy planning programs. This has provided her the ability to recognize and implement effective strategies to help people, as well as to build community awareness. Most recently, she has provided ongoing service as a volunteer member of the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center’s Planned Giving Professional Advisory Council, Hands On Greater Phoenix, U.S. Vets Packages from Home Programs for military families, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Consumer Self-Help Center, and the Scottsdale Police Department Community Auxiliary Organization.
“I am truly grateful to have this opportunity to serve alongside FCC’s amazing staff and its kind and energetic volunteers. I pledge my commitment to serve with integrity, creativity, and vision to enthusiastically carry out FCC’s strategic plan and meet the growing and changing needs of our neighbors. I am excited to get to know the local community and desire to make a difference in ways that are most needed.” Robin has extended an open invitation to visit her office at the Foothills Caring Corps headquarters in Carefree. Please come by to meet Robin as she always has her door open to help her neighbors and the Foothills community.
The mission of the Foothills Caring Corps is, “to help older adults and individuals with disabling conditions who reside in the Northeast Valley - Foothills Community to remain living independently in their own homes for as long as possible. We do this through a force of volunteers and staff who provide in-home services, transportation services, community services and support. These services provide access to activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional health.”
