WEST VALLEY WOMEN

CELEBRATES 5 YEARS

Congratulations and thank you to the members, guests, sponsors and partners of West Valley Women for helping us reach a significant milestone. On July 13, West Valley Women celebrated its 5th Anniversary at our luncheon sponsored by SKYE Fine Dining with publications provided by You Are Here Northwest Valley and favors provided by Scottsdale Healthcare. Attendees were treated to a live cooking demonstration taught by Executive Chef Scott Tompkins followed by a champagne toast. We appreciate and thank Mayor Barrett for proclaiming Tuesday, July 13 as West Valley Women Day. A very big thank you to the Daily News-Sun for covering our event. Click here to read.

While reflecting on the past five years, I revisited my childhood. Specifically, the summer I celebrated my 5th birthday. Being 5 and feeling all grown up, I looked forward to starting big girl school, “kindergarten.” A few days before my baby brother was born, my dad took my big brother and I to the community swimming pool. I tested new waters by venturing a little closer to the deep end and very quickly returned to reality when a stranger helped me back to the shallow end. While watching mom change my baby brother’s diaper, I starred in disbelief at his aim. It almost reached the ceiling, also my first memory of how girls are different than boys. Strong and independent and as the new adult in the household, I understood the “Power of 5.” I have many memories from that summer going forward but very few from my early years prior. .

Ahh, the Power of Five. Congratulations, West Valley Women. To the next five years  ~ lisa e platt.
