Recent Recap

The Brunch Club
Thank you to everyone who contributed to this successful fundraising event held at Mountain Shadows Resort on Dec. 1, 2018. Guests and volunteers donned their finest hats and bowties for a fashionable, festive fundraiser!

We raised money for the arts, raised money through a 50/50 raffle, mystery bags and bowtie sales, sipped a wide selection of beverages and tasted some of the best brunch food in the Valley. We look forward to seeing you next year!

Third Thursday

Aioli Gourmet Burger – November. Thank you to all who attended and to Chef Tom who kept us well-nourished with the best comfort food one could ask for. TV show “Chopped” champ spoke to our guests, who also supported the arts through our raffle. Returning to Burger Battle in 2019, Chef Tom and Aioli Gourmet Burgers will fight to retain the title of Valley’s Best Burger during Chef Tom’s reign as one of the Top Burger Chefs in the World.

Thank you!
