Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall in Henderson means football, cozy sweaters, festive activities—and it’s truly one of the best times of the year.

This season of gratitude also marks my second fall as publisher of this magazine. I want to take a moment to say thank you: to you, our readers, for joining us on this journey; to my incredible team who bring these pages to life every month; to our wonderful partners, who’ve become dear friends; my “lifers” that supported me in taking the plunge; and to my husband, who always encourages me to be authentically myself and to chase my dreams—including this one.

I absolutely love sharing the stories of our community with you each month, and I’m grateful that you welcome us into your lives and into your homes. As you gather around the table this Thanksgiving, I hope you can find a quiet moment in the holiday rush to look around, and express gratitude for the people near and dear to you as we celebrate the season.

In this issue, we sit down with Dr. Candice Fortunato, founder of Skin + Tonic, who shares how gratitude is the attitude that inspired her to launch her business here in Henderson. We also spotlight students from St. Anthony of Padua, who express their heartfelt thanks to veterans in our community, and we take you behind the scenes of a fan-favorite tradition at Henderson Libraries—Library Tree Lane

From all of us, we hope you love this issue, and we wish you and your family a warm, wonderful Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,

Young Voices, Lasting Tribute

HENDERSON STUDENTS LEAD HONOR

FLIGHT HOMECOMINGS WITH GRATITUDE

Too young to remember past wars, yet eager to honor the men and women who lived them, students at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic School (sapsaints. org) in Henderson are helping give local veterans the welcome-home moments they never had. Through letters, handmade signs, fundraisers, and spirited greetings at Harry Reid International Airport, the school’s student council has embraced Honor Flight as a chance to connect generations through gratitude.

The partnership began three years ago with a simple request: Would students be willing to write welcome-home letters for veterans on an upcoming flight?

Student council moderator and teacher Lisa Bullen recalls saying yes immediately. “We accepted and made cards with heartfelt messages and prayers. Nancy Gregory, an Honor Flight ( honorflight.org) operations team member, invited us to attend the welcome home at the airport,” she explained. “We had a small group, but it was such a meaningful experience that touched all of us.”

That first gesture sparked lasting involvement. Lisa, herself a veteran’s daughter, soon volunteered the student council to make welcome signs for future flights. At the next event, the crowd was bigger, the cheers were louder, and student enthusiasm unmistakable. “Interest started picking up among our students and families. Now we have students asking for the Honor Flight dates, and families are eagerly participating,” Lisa said.

Today, between 25 and 30 students and more than a dozen parents attend the welcomes at Harry Reid International Airport. Each veteran—many from the Vietnam and Korean wars—is greeted individually, presented with personalized signs, and enveloped in long-overdue celebration. For some, the outpouring is profoundly moving.

Lisa vividly remembers when two Vietnam veterans returned last year and later visited the school. “They told us how meaningful it was to finally feel appreciated. As

Vietnam vets, they had never really experienced a true welcome home. When they shared those stories, our students were captivated,” she said. For many, hearing ‘welcome home’—rather than only ‘thank you’—has been the most healing gift.

The project has grown steadily. What started as letter writing is now part of the school year’s rhythm. Before making posters or attending ceremonies, students are taught by Lisa about the history and significance of military service. In the process, children born decades after past wars are developing a lived sense of gratitude and service.

This year, the student council expanded its role through fundraising. A “FREEdom Dress” event on September 11 raised more than $2,000—enough to sponsor at least one veteran’s flight, possibly two, since each journey costs about $1,200. “This is our first year sponsoring a veteran,” Lisa shared. “We’re planning another fundraiser in November and hope to send more on the upcoming April Honor Flight.”

The sense of connection extends beyond the airport. In addition to supporting October’s welcome-home event, the school plans to host a “Pancakes with Patriots” breakfast, giving veterans an opportunity to share their experiences directly with students. Lisa calls these moments a blessing. “They have become family members to us all,” she reflected. “The veterans’ stories remind our students that honoring service is not about age—it’s about gratitude that transcends generations.”

As Veterans and Military Families Month is commemorated this November, St. Anthony of Padua’s students remind Henderson that honoring service isn’t only the duty of government or soldiers themselves. It’s a community calling—one carried forward by the youngest voices, whose letters and cheers have become treasured keepsakes, ensuring veterans receive the welcomes they deserve.

“The veterans’ stories remind our students that honoring service is not about age—it’s about gratitude that transcends generations.”

“Lisa vividly remembers when two Vietnam veterans returned last year and later visited the school. ‘They told us how meaningful it was to finally feel appreciated.’”

Begins with YOU A SEASON TO

The holidays have a way of calling us back to what matters most—faith, family, compassion, and the quiet but powerful act of giving. As lights go up and calendars fill, there are still many who sit in silence, carrying burdens too heavy to bear alone. But what if this season, you could be the spark that changes everything for someone else?

The founders of City Lifestyle, through their private foundation, are once again launching its annual Christmas Giving Campaign—a heartfelt effort to seek out and support individuals and families who have quietly fallen through the cracks. The mission is simple: to bring light, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.

Since its beginning just four years ago, this initiative has grown from a humble idea into a life-changing movement. Last Christmas alone, more than 200 families across the country received unexpected support—financial relief, but also something even more powerful.

“We don’t just send checks,” says Steven Schowengerdt, CEO and founder of City Lifestyle. “We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”

Together with City Lifestyle President Matthew Perry, Steven has helped shape this into a tradition that goes far beyond charity. “This is about community,” Matthew adds. “We believe we’ve been blessed, so now we get to be a blessing.”

Every story begins with a nomination. Often, it’s a neighbor, coworker, friend, or teacher—someone who’s been quietly carrying too much for too long. One past recipient, after receiving unexpected support during a time of deep personal struggle, wrote:

SCAN TO NOMINATE

“We send a message: You are seen. You are loved. And you are not forgotten.”

“Beyond the very practical solution of receiving funds to fix my car, this thing you guys worked together to do is bigger than that. I carry the Christmas card you sent in my purse. When things get really hard, I pull it out and remember what it felt like to be seen. That card represents hope— that change for the better is possible. I’m not sure how many people get to carry hope around in their purse. But I do.”

Another wrote in after her husband was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and unable to work:

“This support has blessed our family not only financially, but emotionally and spiritually as we trust God to meet our needs throughout this difficult time. Thank you to our anonymous friend and to your foundation. What a joy and gift to be part of God’s family!”

Each year brings countless stories like these—real lives touched by simple acts of kindness. Some use the funds to pay overdue bills, others to afford groceries, medication, or repairs. But no matter the circumstance, the impact is the same: hope is restored.

This season, you have the opportunity to be part of that. The campaign is now open to nominations—completely confidential and prayerfully considered. Whether it’s someone battling illness, facing unemployment, or just in need of a helping hand, you can bring them a moment of grace that will ripple far beyond Christmas morning.

“Knowing my mom was chosen filled my heart with indescribable joy,” said another past recipient. “Your generosity doesn’t just brighten her life; it inspires hope and faith in all of us. It enables her to stay in her home and get back on her feet.”

Nominations are open from November 1st to December 5th, 2025. To submit someone you know, simply scan the QR code or visit @CityLifestyle on Instagram, where you’ll find the nomination form in the bio.

This holiday season, let’s give more than gifts. Let’s give each other the gift of being seen. Because sometimes, the smallest gesture becomes someone’s greatest miracle.

DR. CANDICE FORTUNATO BUILT [SKIN + TONIC] IN HONOR OF HER MOTHER, TURNING LOSS INTO A SANCTUARY OF HEALING AND BEAUTY

GRATITUDE IN PRACTICE

A LEGACY OF CARE

At the heart of every community are stories of resilience—lives shaped by love, hardship, and gratitude. For Dr. Candice Fortunato, founder of [Skin + Tonic] in Inspirada (skinandtonic702. com ), the journey to opening her

is sacred, and that even ordinary moments can be extraordinary when anchored in gratitude.”

A PATH TO MEDICINE

The influence of those afternoons carried Candice into medicine. She

“MY MOTHER SHOWED ME THAT SERVICE IS NOT JUST AN ACT.”

practice is one written not just in medical training, but in the quiet lessons she absorbed from her mother, a nurse who modeled compassion in every gesture.

“Gratitude has always been my compass, shaped by the lineage of women who came before me,” Dr. Fortunato says. Her grandmother, a nurse in the Philippines, made the courageous decision to immigrate to the United States with her family of seven. Her mother followed a similar path of bravery, leaving her large family to immigrate on her own in the late 1970s.

Her mother began her nursing career at what would later become UMC in Las Vegas. Candice often found herself in the hospital lounge after school, sipping cocoa from Styrofoam cups while the sounds of charts flipping and nurses bustling filled the air. “Those small details imprinted on me: the rhythm of hospital life, the weight of responsibility, and the quiet dignity of service,” she reflects. “It taught me that care

trained in both internal medicine and pediatrics, eventually working as a hospitalist for more than a decade and rising to vice chair at her hospital. “My mother showed me that service is not just an act, it is a way of life,” she says.

But in 2020, the pandemic forced a painful turning point. Both of her parents were hospitalized with complications from COVID-19. Initially barred from being at their bedside despite her position, she was escorted out by security until colleagues advocated for her return. She spent the following weeks by their sides, witnessing her mother’s intubation, her long fight in the ICU, and ultimately, her passing.

“That heartbreak could have left me hardened,” she says. “Instead, it broke me wide open.”

Candice describes feeling judged from all sides during the pandemic, where no decision seemed free from criticism. Yet, it was the small acts of kindness and grace extended to

“GRATITUDE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY COMPASS.”

her that reshaped her perspective. “Gratitude was no longer just an idea; it became a lifeline,” she says. “It reminded me that even in the darkest moments, there are glimmers of humanity that can light the way forward.” With that shift in perspective, she dropped the fear of being judged and entered the world of medical aesthetics, choosing to create rather than retreat, to heal in a new way.

HEALING THROUGH AESTHETICS

In the wake of her mother’s passing, Candice found herself searching for both focus and healing. That search led her into aesthetics. Having already released the fear of being judged, she stepped into the field with openness and intention. What began as skill refinement quickly became something deeper.

“My pivot into aesthetics was born out of dedication—and, at times, distraction,” she explains. “Patients were amazed by their transformations, but

what they didn’t realize was the impact they had on me. Each appointment became more than a procedure; it was a reminder of connection, resilience, and shared humanity.”

Dr. Fortunato came to see facials and injectables as tools, not the end goal. “The true artistry lies in listening, honoring the whole person, and finding gratitude for each story shared,” she says. “Every client’s journey reminds me that healing and beauty are never one-size-fits-all; they are personal, layered, and profoundly human.” She adds, “This work is about restoring confidence, yes, but also about creating a safe space where people feel seen. To me, that is the most beautiful transformation of all.”

BUILDING [SKIN + TONIC]

When she opened [Skin + Tonic], Dr. Fortunato envisioned more than a clinic—it would be a sanctuary. “The treatment chairs are clinical, but the rest of the space was designed as a respite from the everyday hustle,” she says.

Every detail reflects intention: long-term treatment planning, thoughtful post-visit summaries, and staying connected with clients through in-person care, virtual consultations, and small gatherings. “We often say, ‘We’re in the long-term game

with you,’” she explains. That commitment extends beyond aesthetics to health-forward guidance and heartfelt connection.

Her monthly newsletter, The (G)low Down with Dr. Glow Up, blends professional advice with personal storytelling. “It creates a stage where stories flow both ways,” Candice says. “I want people to feel seen, cared for, and uplifted—whether they’re sitting in our treatment chair or reading from home.”

A MANTRA OF GRATITUDE

For Candice, gratitude isn’t an abstract concept, it’s stitched into every interaction at [Skin + Tonic]. “We are grateful for the fabric we are weaving within our community,” she says. “Because for me, it’s more than just skin deep—it’s gratitude expressed in every interaction, every transformation, every story.”

Her mother’s legacy is alive in this work. What began in a hospital lounge with cocoa and chart notes has blossomed into a sanctuary where beauty, health, and humanity intersect.

As the season of thankfulness unfolds, Candice’s story reminds us that gratitude is not simply felt—it is practiced, shared, and expressed. Or as she puts it: “Gratitude is the through-line of my life. It has carried me through loss, guided me in medicine, and now breathes life into every corner of [Skin + Tonic].”

Breathing Health Into Life

LIBRARY TREE LANE Holiday Boutique & Gala

A HENDERSON TRADITION OF BOOKS, BASKETS, AND COMMUNITY SPIRIT

ARTICLE BY JENNIFER FLORENDO

PHOTOGRAPHY BY FRIENDS OF HENDERSON LIBRARIES

For more than 20 years, the Friends of Henderson Libraries have ushered in the holiday season with their beloved Library Tree Lane events. What began in 2004 as a gala with decorated Christmas trees and an auction that raised $3,000 has blossomed into one of Henderson’s most festive community traditions.

“This event has such longevity in our community—it truly kicks off the holiday season,” said Marcie Smedley, Executive Director of Henderson Libraries. “It’s become a tradition for many families in Henderson.”

The Holiday Boutique, now a centerpiece of the celebration, offers themed baskets assembled by dedicated volunteers. In 2024 alone, Library Tree Lane raised $48,500 to support Henderson Libraries’ programs and materials— resources that remain free for all to enjoy.

Unlike many holiday markets that feature multiple vendors, the boutique and gala is a volunteer-driven effort from start to finish. Supporters and local businesses donate items ranging from gift cards and gourmet treats to spa essentials and sports gear. Volunteers then curate each donation into themed baskets, ensuring that each one contains a carefully chosen book to tie the theme together.

“The baskets really do have something for everyone,” Marcie explained. “From cooking at home to self-care, sports to dining out, each collection is meant to feel both personal and festive.” These baskets make popular hostess gifts and holiday surprises—items that are both thoughtful and purposeful.

“People love coming together here,” Marcie said. “It’s not just about the baskets—it’s about community.”

Looking ahead, the Friends of Henderson Libraries are committed to growing the event. “We’ll continue to plan and try new things,” they said. “From raising $3,000 in the beginning to more than $48,000 last year, the growth speaks for itself.”

The heart of Library Tree Lane lies in its mission. Proceeds directly fund children’s programming and materials at Henderson Libraries, enriching the experiences of young readers and learners throughout the community.

“Every dollar raised goes back into the library system,” Marcie noted. “We’re proud that these programs are free for the community, but it takes events like Library Tree Lane to make that possible.”

Beyond dollars, the event builds connections. Attendees meet neighbors, share food and wine, and bid on treasures while celebrating the spirit of giving.

Over the years, the response from Henderson residents has been enthusiastic. Many return annually, treating the boutique and gala as an essential part of their holiday season.

HOLIDAY GIVING, LOCAL IMPACT

Each Library Tree Lane basket is thoughtfully themed and always includes a book. Proceeds benefit Henderson Libraries’ children’s programs and materials, keeping resources free for the community. Shop the boutique or attend the gala to support literacy and celebrate the season in true Henderson spirit.
