Please join the Downtown Phoenix Partnership as we celebrate another great year of progress at the Annual DREAMR (Downtown Revitalization Effort Awards of Merit and Recognition) Awards Luncheon Monday, February 6, 2012 at the new Marriott Renaissance Phoenix Downtown. Your support for this event, which honors those who have made significant contributions to the continued revitalization of Downtown Phoenix, is greatly appreciated.
As Downtown Phoenix grows in vibrancy and richness of experience we realize more and more that it is the contributions of the people of our community that make it vital for all of us. So please join us again this year, to recognize and celebrate the individuals and businesses that truly made a difference in 2011. This year’s event will feature a keynote speech from Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, who will share his vision for Downtown as we enter this next exciting chapter.
In addition to Mayor Stanton’s speech, we’ll be awarding DREAMR Awards in five categories (Private Sector Individual, Public Sector Individual, Organization, Project, and Unsung Hero), and the hotly anticipated Best Of Downtown Awards, which go to Downtown businesses and attractions based on popular vote.
Reserving a company table at this year’s DREAMR Luncheon is a tremendous opportunity to hear Mayor Stanton’s historical remarks while helping us celebrate Downtown’s many successes in 2011.
Tables are $700 and individual tickets are $70. To reserve call Julie De Anda at 602.744.6412 or email jdeanda@downtownphx.org
Again, thank you for your ongoing support of Downtown Phoenix and the DREAMR Awards Luncheon. We look forward to seeing you on February 6th.
Each 2-hour demonstrations include 3 courses paired with Arizona wines or beers, plus a take-home recipe. Tickets are $55 each and Tuesday’s Series kickoff features Chef Elizabeth Meinz of Orange Table. From 6-8 p.m. Chef Meinz will take attendees through her “Breakfast for Dinner” concept, with savory pan syrup, prosciutto Benedict, ravioli with fresh herb ricotta, crispy prosciutto, eggs and bacon foam, all paired with Canelo Hills Chardonnay, Nimbus Blonde, and Pillsbury Child wine. This demonstration is sponsored by Hickman’s Family Farms and Maya’s Farm.

DINNER
Ice Skating at CityScape
It’s sorta like a green and red flash mob, minus Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”
Sunday, Dec. 18 / Snow Day
Thirty-three dishes in all–from bacon-wrapped dates (pictured, left) and shepherd’s pie to goat cheese fondue and corn crusted calamari–will be served at 11 restaurants from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., all starting at $2. That’s some seriously affordable grub!
CityScape and NRG have again joined forces to bring skating to the most unlikeliest of places: Downtown Phoenix.
