HSMAI-AZ is launched their CLOTHING DRIVE in support of the NAU Career Closet on September 30, 2024. This project runs through our November meeting.
The NAU Career Closet was established to minimize barriers to job potential through access to a closet full of donated business and professional clothing for class presentations, interviews, jobs, career fairs, conferences, and other needs.
Donations of gently worn and new items are welcomed on a rolling basis at NAU Career Development to continuously restock the NAU Career Closet.
As donors, consider various professional industries when thinking of “professional clothing.”
Thank you for supporting this worthwhile project!
BRING YOUR DONATIONS TO THE NOVEMBER MEETING or drop them off at three designated locations. CLICK HERE for more information on what is currently needed and drop off locations.

The story about Bobby-Q BBQ Restaurants starts with the Owner and Founder.
Whether you know him as Bobby Q, Bobby McGee, Mr. Lucky or even Mabel Murphy, there’s no denying that Bob Sikora is a legendary restaurateur.
Long before he fired up his first slow smoker here at Bobby Q’s, this Phoenix native was palling around with the likes of Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, and opening restaurants from here to Hawaii. And to think, it all started when a 15-year-old Sikora dropped out of school to take a job as a fry cook at one of the first franchised McDonald’s in Phoenix.
At the age of 20, Sikora opened his first restaurant – Bobby’s Pancake Stand. Here, he gained the experience to open more restaurants, many of which were beer and burger joints or small coffee shops.
In 1966, Sikora opened Mr. Lucky’s, a 19,000 square foot live music venue, featuring prominent acts of the day like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Bobby McGee’s opened in 1971. The popular nightspot featured a first for the Valley, prerecorded music played by a DJ. At the time, only clubs in Los Angeles and New York were using similar technology.
Bobby McGee’s became so popular Sikora eventually had to start turning people away. That led to the creation of Mabel Murphy’s in Scottsdale in 1972. It was a Euro dance club that was before its time but helped hold over the crowds from Bobby McGee’s.
Eventually Bobby McGee’s proved so popular that Sikora expanded it to 24 units, ranging from Australia and Honolulu to Charlotte. Most recently, he scoured the United States, traveling coast to coast searching for great barbecue. From Tennessee to Kansas to California, he has tasted every possible variation and style of barbecue. More information is at https://bobbyqbbq.com/about-us/
