  NAAAP-Phoenix Recognizes Its Own   
  2nd Annual Hike & Brunch at Piestewa Peak
NAAAP-Phoenix Recognizes Its OwnNAAAP-Phoenix Recognizes Its Own
(February 11, 2008) Last month, NAAAP-Phoenix held its first annual Kick-Off Celebration at C-Fu Restaurant in Chandler, marking its past two years of existence by thanking those who have been key in the chapter’s establishment and its continued impact on the community.

The recognition banquet started with a networking mixer in the restaurant’s lounge. After the mixer, the nearly seventy attendees shuffled off into the main dining room for the first half of the recognition program before dinner. Elissa Nago, coordinator for the banquet, welcomed members and guests, and Bernard Wu and Janice Plado, as members of last year’s Election Committee, presented the 2008 Officers and Board of Directors. Michael Pitkin, Director of Membership, then gave the rundown on his committee’s goals for the year, especially that of getting corporate membership, before dinner was served. (More)

Hike2nd Annual Hike & Brunch at Piestewa Peak
The morning hike at Piestewa Peak followed by a brunch at Vincent's Camelback Farmers' Market was a worthwhile experience for everyone. We had a dynamic and fun group of 20 people that participated in the event. The hike was a moderate difficulty level, and everyone motivated each other to reach the top of the resting area.

Once we reached our destination spot, it was time to wind down and mingled with other members and non-members. Afterwards, we had brunch at Vincent's Camelback Farmers' Market. There were fresh produce, pastries, and delicious food made to order. We were like one big family sharing our meals, talking and laughing - everyone was in good company! On a personal note, it was my day of discovery since I have never hiked on one of the trails at Piestewa Peak nor have I shopped at Vincent's Farmers' Market. For me, it was a well spent Saturday morning doing the scenic hike at Piestewa Peak and making new friends. (More)
