More information is at: https://freeartsaz.org/. \nTHE CONCEPT OF THE AUCTION \nThe original Chinese Auction was conceived in 1982 by the Arizona Chapter of the Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association International.  This event has gained national recognition and has been adopted by numerous HSMAI and MPI chapters through the U.S. as their major fundraiser. \nThe auction was originally given the Chinese theme due to the location of the event – the former China Doll Restaurant in Phoenix. Over the years\, the auction has grown and has moved its location to larger venues. The Chinese theme has remained.  \n \nWatch Video  \nThe idea of the auction is to provide each guest with a list of prizes (such as dinners\, golf outings\, gift baskets\, services\, and hotel/resort stays) and a numbered stick. Each table is supplied with a bucket that is placed in the middle. Starting with the number one item\, the auctioneer describes that item and asks the guests who are interested in bidding on this item to toss a quarter or quarters in the bucket. The guest then holds their stick in the air. The auctioneer calls out the numbers that are held up. A gonger (who cannot see or hear what is going on) is responsible for hitting the gong after a few seconds. The last number called out when the gong rings has won that prize and goes to the stage to claim it. This sequence of events goes on throughout the evening until all prizes are gone. Over the years\, a silent and live auction have also been added to the event. \nThis event has won numerous awards including “Stars of the Industry” Awards from the Arizona Lodging & Tourism Association\, “Awards of Excellence in Association Management” from the Arizona Society of Association Executives and several HSMAI International Awards. \nIn 2022\, the name of our event was changed to be more diverse and inclusive\, but  the year of the Chinese Zodiac and the Asian theme remain. \nCome ready to have a great time. \nThis is the perfect event to bring family members\, friends\, and co-workers too. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ON-LINE.CLICK HERE TO DONATE A PRIZE ON-LINE.CLICK HERE FOR A PRINTABLE INVITATION.CLICK HERE FOR AN PRINTABLE AUCTION DONOR FORM.CLICK HERE FOR  A PRINTABLE DONOR LETTER. \n  URL:https://hsmai-az.org/event/40th-anniversary-auction-and-fundraiser/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230522T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20230522T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T092126 CREATED:20230106T152822Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230515T225523Z UID:10000024-1684749600-1684774800@hsmai-az.org SUMMARY:MPI/HSMAI HospitaliTee Golf Tournament DESCRIPTION:Meeting Professionals International – Arizona Sunbelt ChapterandHospitality Sales & Marketing Association International – Arizona Chapter \nMPI/HSMAI 12th Annual“HospitaliTee” Golf and Networking Event \nMonday\, May 22\, 2023 • 10:00 a.m. Shotgun Start \nTITLE “ACE” SPONSORHOST SPONSOR \n \n \n3800 E.

The Navy Seals also pay the big bucks to learn how to stay in it— yet Corporate America is not even talking about it. Instead\, mainstream work culture asserts the myth that if we work harder and faster\, we can get it all done. The reality is that the work never ends\, and chronic stress destroys the very productivity we need to be successful. \nThe typical anti-stress tips and tricks are just a bandaid over the real issue: negative stress blocks our creative genius\, our ability to solve complex problems\, and our enjoyment of the work that we do. \nWe’re standing at the edge of one of the greatest paradigm shifts of our time. Join Jeska to learn more about how you\, too\, can radically transform your relationship with stress and truly create a life of meaning and purpose through Flow State at this one-of-a-kind keynote. \nBy accessing and mastering your own Flow State\, you will have the opportunity to: \nRewire your experience of stress to quintuple effectiveness\nSignificantly increase cognitive ability to focus and stay on task\nAchieve optimal performance and work in your creative genius naturally and without extra effort\nJoin your fellow MPI\, HSMAI and PCMA members and guests for this can’t-miss program! \n  \nThanks to our sponsors: \n \n  URL:https://hsmai-az.org/event/mpi-hsmai-pcma-education-program-mixer/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20221201T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20221201T220000 DTSTAMP:20260425T092126 CREATED:20211223T210914Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221128T234924Z UID:10000008-1669917600-1669932000@hsmai-az.org SUMMARY:The 54th Annual Awards Gala and Celebration DESCRIPTION:HSMAI Arizona ChapterPresentsThe 54th Annual Awards Gala and Celebration \n“An Evening Under the Stars”\nThursday\, December 1\, 2022Sonesta Suites Scottsdale at Gainey Ranch7300 East Gainey Suites Drive\, Scottsdale \n \nAGENDA:6:00-7:00pm … Registration – Hotel Lobby6:00-7:00pm … Cocktail Reception and PhotoStation with Flash PhotoVideo – Terrace Room & Patio7:00-9:45pm … Dinner\, Board Installation\, Chapter Awards of Excellence – Terrace LawnEntertainment by Ray the DJ \nAfter a two-year hiatus\, we are bringing our Gala back!You won’t want to miss HSMAI’s year-end event….Come celebrate with our members and guests. \nThe evening will include our annual awards presentation and installation of our 2022 Board of Directors.

This event has gained national recognition and has been adopted by numerous HSMAI and MPI chapters through the U.S. as their major fundraiser. \nThe auction was originally given the Chinese theme due to the location of the event – the former China Doll Restaurant in Phoenix. Over the years\, the auction has grown and has moved its location to larger venues. The Chinese theme has remained. \nThe idea of the auction is to provide each guest with a list of prizes (such as dinners\, golf outings\, gift baskets\, services\, and hotel/resort stays) and a numbered stick. Each table is supplied with a bucket that is placed in the middle. Starting with the number one item\, the auctioneer describes that item and asks the guests who are interested in bidding on this item to toss a quarter or quarters in the bucket. The guest then holds their stick in the air. The auctioneer calls out the numbers that are held up. A gonger (who cannot see or hear what is going on) is responsible for hitting the gong after a few seconds. The last number called out when the gong rings has won that prize and goes to the stage to claim it. This sequence of events goes on throughout the evening until all prizes are gone. Over the years\, a silent and live auction have also been added to the event. \nThis event has won numerous awards including “Stars of the Industry” Awards from the Arizona Lodging & Tourism Association\, “Awards of Excellence in Association Management” from the Arizona Society of Association Executives and several HSMAI International Awards. \nIn 2022\, the name of our event was changed to be more diverse and inclusive\, but the year of the Chinese Zodiac and the Asian theme remain. \nCome ready to have a great time.\nThis is the perfect event to bring family members\, friends\, and co-workers too. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ON-LINE\nCLICK HERE TO DONATE A PRIZE ON-LINE\nCLICK HERE FOR A PRINTABLE INVITATION\nCLICK HERE FOR AN PRINTABLE AUCTION DONOR FORM\nCLICK HERE FOR A PRINTABLE DONOR LETTER URL:https://hsmai-az.org/event/9th-annual-big-a-fundraiser-dinner-year-of-the-tiger/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20220523T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20220523T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T092126 CREATED:20211223T210235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220519T004515Z UID:10000014-1653292800-1653325200@hsmai-az.org SUMMARY:HospitaliTee Golf Tournament DESCRIPTION:Meeting Professionals International – Arizona Sunbelt Chapter\nand\nHospitality Sales & Marketing Association International – Arizona Chapter \n\n\nMPI/HSMAI 11th Annual\n“HospitaliTee” Golf and Networking Event\nMay 23\, 2022  •  8:00 a.m. Shotgun Start\n\n\n\nCOURSE SPONSOR\n\nTITLE SPONSOR\n\n\n\n\nStonecreek Golf Club   *   4435E.

More information at: https://www.gurneysresorts.com/scottsdale \nABOUT CHRISTIAAN ROLLICH\nChristiaan Röllich celebrated cocktail book author and mixologists\, hails from a small village fifteen minutes outside of Amsterdam. On his fourteenth birthday he arrived at the local tavern dressed up in a shirt\, tie and slacks and knocked on the door seeking employment. The owner informed him that he was too young and should try again when he was older. One year later\, on his birthday\, Röllich returned and was hired as a dishwasher due to his tenacity. \nIt was widely assumed Röllich would work in the family hospital business\, but after a string of odd jobs and a six-month university stint where he studied psychology\, he realized it wasn’t a good fit. He literally ran away and joined the carnival\, becoming a carney in a travelling fair\, working the midway. After two years\, Röllich gave university another shot while bar backing at a nightclub to earn extra money\, and studying acting on the side. He saved enough money to come to the United States and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg School. Within six months he got a sponsorship to live in Los Angeles and signed with LA Models\, lining up another career. \nRöllich’s Los Angeles life brought him to Les Deux Café for extra income while pursuing his acting and modeling gigs. Les Deux was the venerable Hollywood hangout run by Michele Lamy and her husband/designer Rick Owens. He worked as a busser but noticed that the bartender was lazy and frequently jumped in to clean up the bar for extra tips while the bartender smoked cigarettes in the alley. Before long\, people started asking him to make drinks. Another bartender from New York mentored him and taught the layout. “He gave me the blueprint of how to set up a bar in the same pattern I use even today\,” says Röllich. “I still carry the memory and lessons that I learned from that bartender. He changed my life.” \nWhen Café Les Deux closed Röllich traveled to Europe and returned to Los Angeles in 2007. A friend of his was working at Lucques\, got him an interview\, and he was hired as a part time bartender. It was before the cocktail explosion and everyone was still measuring spirits by counting with no real science. But Röllich became intrigued by the use of combining science\, math and artistry to create craft cocktails and began his self-education. \nJames Beard Award winner Suzanne Goin describes how he would snoop around in the kitchen\, during that time\, tasting everything he could\, and asking lots and lots of questions. All while soaking up her philosophy and techniques and thinking about how he could apply them to the world of drink. He was beginning to build a bridge from the kitchen to the bar. \nWhen Röllich finished college\, he was forced with the choice\, what future to pick? What would be best for his new wife and newborn son? Tavern had opened in Brentwood and Styne and Goin asked if Röllich could bring the Lucques philosophy there as well. Medical field or Restaurant’s? Needless to say\, he kept growing the Lucques Group bar program over the next decade \nThe re-locating of AOC in 2013 with a full bar\, really threw him in to the lime light\, and his Green Goddess Cocktail\, became a Los Angeles favorite. It was published by Bon Appetite\, LA Magazine\, Washington Post and LA Times. Meanwhile AOC quickly got its status as number one restaurant in Los Angeles. The Lucques group of restaurants became known as a cocktail destinations on top of  its amazing food and wine. \nDuring this time he developed a following on Rodeo drive from Prada and Gucci\, to Presidents and heads of states at private parties catered by Lucques Catering. His career blossomed with celebrity weddings and specialty cocktails he developed for each celebrity\, and each special event. \nIn 2019 Röllich chose one hundred of his handcrafted t recipes and wrote his Tales of the Cocktails nominated book\, “BAR CHEF: Handcrafted Cocktails” published by W.W. Norton This is an inside look into the memories and experiences that shape Röllich’s recipes\, each a result of immense experimentation and ardent refining—and distilled through the guidance of James Beard Award–winning writer Carolynn Carreño.
