Enjoy the finer things in life, like a good financial plan! \ud83d\udcb5 \n\nBefore Financial Literacy Month concludes in April, we convened Brett Adams, who advises the Downtown Phoenix Inc. and PCA Team's retirement plans through DecisionPoint Financial, to ask him the fundamental questions on everyone's minds.\n\nBecause PCA relies on our Members' knowledge to connect for success, here's a list of financial tips that we hope will further strengthen our alliance! \n\nSwipe for Brett's answers \ud83d\udc48
Nothing but vibes at the Irish Cultural Center and McClelland Library! \u2728\u2618\ufe0f\n\nOn Wednesday, PCA's Guest Experience Working Group (GEWG), a subgroup within our Arts, Culture & Public Advocacy Committee, met off-site to host the monthly meeting at the center. The center's staff participated in a productive conversation that acted as an ideation session on bringing additional exposure to the Roosevelt Arts District. \n\nAfterward, the staff graciously invited PCA to tour their Norman architecture-inspired spaces. The team learned that a simple $40 membership gives discounted access to the genealogical and rare books library and to their signature events and workshops. \n\nFun Fact: A portion of the Irish Blue Limestone used on the property was directly imported from Ireland! \n\nDo you have an arts and culture institution that you want to promote as a PCA Member? If so, contact Alex Molina at amolina@dtphx.org to start the conversation!\n\nThank you to the staff at @az_irish_center_and_library for showcasing everything that makes your
A permanent supportive housing community that's also a Transit-Oriented Development! \ud83d\udeb2 \n\nMeet Osborn Pointe, a new 48-unit development by Native American Connections designed to serve vulnerable 55+ populations. The project was supported by PCA Member @ArizonaHousingFund (AZHF), which contributed a $100,000 grant, alongside $17M from the Arizona Department of Housing.\n\nInstead of on-site resident parking, Osborn Pointe has built-in storage in each one-bedroom unit and a dedicated bike room for repairs or a tune-up.\n\nTo learn about this unique housing model, join PCA and other Members for this and other timely updates at our monthly Multi-Modal Connectivity Committee Meeting next Tuesday, April 29, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.\n\nDon't want to miss it?

The Warehouse District is a place to match creativity with similar visions! \n\nIn a community built from locations transformed from their original utilitarian functions, the Warehouse District Council (WDC) attendees convened inside Warehouse 215, a place that continually reinvents their venue for clients. They were treated to complimentary light hors d'oeuvres and a \u201cbar\u201d featuring zero-proof cocktails from M Culinary Concepts.\n\nWith nourished appetites, attendees heard updates that contained these (and other) relevant gems of information: \n\n\u26ab After @ValleyMetro recently announced the community celebration of the upcoming South Central Extension of light rail would occur Saturday, June 7, their updates further illuminated the extent of their festivities, which will take place at several points throughout the new 5.3-mile segment that includes CityScape (@cityscapephx) and the new Ed Pastor Transit Center. \n\n\u26ab The largest caterer in the Southwest, M Culinary Concepts, recently moved into a separate building on the Warehouse 215 property, which Imagine Development renovated for their needs. (Fun fact: Their biggest catering job is for the Phoenix Open, which yearly hosts 200,000 attendees!)\n\n\u26ab Speaking of Warehouse 215, when @CCBGArchitects was relocating to Downtown Phoenix 34 years ago, WDC President Brian Cassidy revealed that his firm was tempted to move into the space, but didn't when they realized the firm would only activate the space to 5% of its potential. \n\nThe Warehouse District Council wants you to be represented! If you want to host the next monthly meeting, contact R.J. Price at rjprice@dtphx.org.\n\nThanks to Warehouse 215 and M Culinary Concepts for elevating the monthly WDC meeting!
Come for an illuminating experience, stay for the connections! \ud83d\udca1 \ud83e\udd1d \n\nThe Glow-Frame Initiative's inaugural presentation of The Pitch Room was hosted alongside PCA's regular Membership Mingle, creating a dynamic opportunity to spark collaboration among PCA Members and friends.\n\nWith Marshall Shore as the evening's host, Glow-Frame opened its film stage with wraparound monitors and a backdrop that projected lifelike skyline views for everyone to use. With a simple donation, countless Members took advantage to \"pitch\" their businesses to the more than 50 attendees and have a professionally made recording.\n\nHere are some of the PCA Members' pitches in action! \n\n\ud83d\udd35 602 Day - After a successful first-year celebration, a representative from Mayor Gallego's office, encapsulated the annual event, which takes place on June 2 (or 6\/02, like the area code), as a way to promote local culture with discounts and promotions from businesses and stimulate economic activity in the slower summer months. For PCA Members wanting to participate in 602 Day, reach out to Alex Molina at amolina@dtphx.org\n\n\ud83d\udd35 Axiom Community Recovery\u2014The nonprofit offered a glimpse into its often lesser-known, donation-based services, which support individuals facing substance abuse and mental health challenges.\n\n\ud83d\udd35 Phoenix Center for the Arts\u2014The Center's Executive Director, Angelique Kane, distilled the Center's signature creative classes and programming into this simple ethos: \u201cArt is not a thing; it's a way.\u201d\n\n\ud83d\udd35 Irin \"Iroc\" Daniels (@irocdaniels)\u2014A presentation of Glow-Frame's Executive Director's demo reel revealed that many of his projects were Member-aligned collaborations, including @TriceeThomas (of @TheGarmentLeague), True North Studios, Dialog Phoenix (@dialogphx), and the Cambria Hotel (@cambriadowntownphoenix)! No job is too large for this twice Emmy-nominated director!\n\nAre you feeling FOMO?
