Our annual luncheon for the Discount Tire Managers wives. Trish Rogers, our Ariz. Vice President's wife always hosts this get together at their beautiful home on the side of McDowell Mountain in Scottsdale.I would say today was one of the cooler days we've had for our luncheon in a long time.I always love this event. Some one always has a charity for us to get involved with. Last year, I did it and we bought items for the bathrooms for the 2 homes DTC built for Habitat for Humanity.This year Stephanie Hernandez organized a philanthropy project. We put together baskets for families displaced by fire. We filled baskets with items that families would need while staying somewhere and they would not have to worry about running out to get. Also at our luncheon, the wives get to vote on the destination for our week-end get-a-way that we take every summer, Sedona won again!!!!!
Here are a few of the baskets!!!!

LOVE that you guys do such awesome philanthropy activities! I really should start doing some. Back in my Delta Delta Delta years we did so much with St Jude's. Everyone should do a little bit! Glad you had fun! Trish's house is amazing! Do they still have that HUGE tv in the family room??!:)Also did you see in snakes??
HI!!!
Yes, their t.v. is huge!!!!
And no snakes!!!!
Every year, Trish and Mark have done something new to the place. They are such good budgeters, they do just one or two projects or purchases!!!
Stephanie will be getting married in 3 weeks, so I'M sure wedding took top spot this year!!!!

mom
