No one knows how he does it, but Phil Mickelson has become one of the game’s all-time greats by taking chances other pros won’t. From skipping a ball off a lake on to the green for an eagle, to playing chip shots that fly backwards over his head, Phil’s daring and creative game is a magical thing to behold.

mercedesbenzofchandler.com we sign off for the summer, we leave you with a SMITH JENNIFER real-life demonstration of how what children ASobserve in their parents manifests itself in future gener- ations. Betsy Smith Taylor can look to both her ancestors and her descendants and find community-minded indi- viduals who are compelled to service. In “Like Mother, Like Daughters,” p. 42, you’ll find this occurred not by chance, but by design. We also leave you with information on a Maricopa Community College pro- gram that changes lives dramatically. ACE plucks low-achieving high school students from the cycle of hopelessness and guides them through the door to success. See “Playing the Ace,” p. 46. Last spring, while having lunch with Shelley Adams, I shared with her that my husband and I planned a trip to Kauai. She enthusiastically told me about a favorite dining spot, the Mermaid Café. When we arrived and found it Day 1, we couldn’t wait to try her first-choice menu item, the Ahi Nori Wrap. It became one of our favorites, too. In “Cool Climes, Great Dines,” p. 50, readers share some of the dining places they love to frequent during their summer travels. The 14 events we attended for this issue raised a total of more than $2 million for Valley nonprofit agencies. From October through May, AZ Society covered 71 events that raised more than $26 million. There were many we could not cover— and they translated even more private dollars into public benefit. Have a safe and refreshing summer, and watch your mailbox in early October for your next issue. Prepare to see drop-dead gorgeous fashions for next season’s round of social events.

But the planners had no idea how colorful it would be. There were 500 multicolored candles for the candelabra centerpieces.

The morning of the event, she drove to the JW Marriott Desert Ridge at to light the candles lined against the wall. When she returned at 8 a.m., they had dripped everywhere, creating a prism of col- ors––orange, pink and green––on both the cande- labras and the floor. Chair Diana Lents and committee member Elizabeth Coffee devised a plan of action and quickly put all the candles into the resort’s refrigerators. “The resort cleaning crew went to work on the car- pets, and later our committee cut the candles down to fit back into the votives,” says Diana.
