CHEERS TO THE CHAIRS { Society of Chairs } To Nominate Your Event Chair, Co-Chairs, Honorary Chair or Board Chair, Contact publisher@frontdoorsmedia.com . Why do you support the Junior League of Phoenix? KIMBERLY: The Junior League of Phoenix is an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. We both like working with like-minded women who want to be involved in community programs. Describe this year’s event. HEIDI: Our event Buon Natale , a night in Italy, kicked off the holiday season with captivating entertainment. The entertainment showstoppers were a Frank Sinatra impersonator and an Italian street performer. Why do you feel so strongly impacted by this organization? HEIDI: We have been introduced to many Valley nonprofits as well as the League’s own community impact programs. ROCKETS — Raising Our Children’s Knowledge by Educating Through Science is a theme-based program that promotes early childhood development of science skills. Each year there is a Teacher’s Launch at the Arizona Science Center that’s funded by the Junior League of Phoenix Foundation. KIMBERLY: The Arizona Science Center, formerly the Arizona Museum of Science & Technology, was conceived in 1980 as a pilot science center by the Junior League of Phoenix. We see our donors’ money put to work and we can proudly see that we are making a difference. Favorite place to travel: HEIDI: My parents are from Germany and I lived there for work. I discovered that there is always a castle to explore, followed by a trip to a local bakery. KIMBERLY: Italy will forever have my heart. Not only does my family come from Italy, but I was also married in Tuscany.
