Volvo of Tempe is a one-stop shop for sales, service

As chief operations officer and general manager of Volvo of Tempe, Richard Cvijanovich takes great pride in the fact that his Volvo dealership is the only one in the East Valley.

The Valley’s only other Volvo showroom is located miles away in North Phoenix.

“We serve Tempe, Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale and the entire East Valley,” Cvijanovich says.

Volvo of Tempe is a full-service franchise that offers new and pre-owned Volvos for sale, as well as a variety of other makes and models of cars, trucks, SUVs and vans, Cvijanovich says. In addition, a service and parts department handles Volvo repairs and services.

“We have factory-trained technicians, as well as a large retail and wholesale parts department. We have $400,000 in parts alone,” he says.

Cvijanovich purchased the Volvo dealership in December 2010 and began operating it in January 2011 at its location in Scottsdale. In June 2011 he moved the dealership to a remodeled location in the Tempe Autoplex.

One of the things that Cvijanovich says helps Volvo of Tempe stand out from the competition is that no matter what type of service a customer schedules, it always includes a “mini-detail” each time. Even a car that is brought in for a quick oil change will be washed and vacuumed, and receive a window cleaning.

To make scheduling services and repairs as easy as possible, Cvijanovich says Volvo of Tempe offers extended service hours, including early-morning appointments and Saturday hours.

Customers who drop off their cars for work have access to one of 30 service

Volvo loaner vehicles.

“We are family owned and operated, so we are highly friendly and really focus on our clients’ needs,” Cvijanovich says.

“Convenience is what we are all about, and we strive to offer a top-tier experience.”

Looking ahead to this spring, Cvijanovich says he is excited about the launch of the 100-percent redesigned Volvo XC90. The mid-sized luxury SUV is the first of the Volvo models to be redesigned, with another model being launched every four to six months.

“It will get higher gas mileage and

Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth are almost certain to cause problems if left in place. This is particularly true of impacted wisdom teeth, such problems may occur suddenly and often at the most inconvenient time. While the kids are out for spring break, there couldn’t be a better time to take care of this preventative procedure.

The average mouth does not have room for the third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth” to come in properly. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems such as swelling, stiffness, pain and illness. The pressure from the wisdom teeth may move other teeth and disrupt the orthodontic or natural alignment of teeth. The most serious problem occurs when tumors or cysts form around the impacted wisdom tooth, resulting in the destruction of the jawbone and healthy teeth. It is now recommended the impacted wisdom teeth be removed early to prevent these problems. Most commonly we remove wisdom teeth between the ages of 14 and 22 years whether they are causing problems or not. The procedure is technically easier and patients recover much quicker when they are younger. What is a relatively minor procedure at 20 can become quite difficult in patients as they get older. Also the risk of complications increases with age and the healing process is slower. We utilize the latest technologies and techniques to make your procedure go smoother and your healing process faster.

full amenities,” Cvijanovich says. The redesigned Volvo XC90 will still stand out for its safety features, he adds.

“The Volvo mantra is still safety across the board in every car.”

In his day-to-day work at Volvo of Tempe, Cvijanovich says he especially enjoys meeting customers and assisting with whatever they need.

“I like assisting them in our familyfriendly environment that is not high pressure or pushy, and helping them achieve their vehicle needs.”

Volvo of Tempe is located at 8060 S. Autoplex Loop, in the Tempe Autoplex in Tempe. For more information, call (480) 941-2400 or visit www.volvooftempe.com

My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store offers rock-bottom prices

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of three entrepreneurial sisters, shoppers can find low prices on clothing and household items, while local charities can benefit from the profits.

Ann Siner, CEO and founder of My Sister’s Closet, Well Suited and My Sister’s Attic, started My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store in Chandler along with her sisters Jennifer Siner and Tess Loo.

Siner says the store, which opened in July, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation that gives 100 percent of its net profits to help other nonprofits.

The sisters started My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store after they realized they were regularly donating truckloads of unsold products from their other retail locations to four different thrift stores. Although they were happy to donate, they learned that some of the thrift stores were not making money.

“We just thought what a waste it was that the products were not making some

of the stores any money,” Siner says. “If there’s anything my sisters and I know, it’s retail, so we decided to open My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store.

“This way, we can give even more money to our favorite organizations like Arizona Humane Society, Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center and Fresh Start Women’s Foundation. The idea behind it is that we want to give to groups that motivate us and help women, wildlife

and homeless pets.”

My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store is open seven days a week and sells clothing for $1 to $10, while jeans and sweaters are $6 and $5, respectively.

“Every other week have 50 percent off sale where everything is half off. We are literally putting out new products all of the time.”

Siner says that in the relatively short time that My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store has been open, she and her sisters have been able to donate tens of thousands of dollars to their favorite charities.

They have also enjoyed watching the store get steadily busier, as customers arrive from all demographics from Chandler and the surrounding areas.

Siner, who is also excited about the recent expansion of My Sister’s Attic in Chandler, says is it extremely gratifying to donate money to charities, some of which are very small.

“They are always so thankful for the donations, and giving even $500 or $1,000 to some of the smaller nonprofits can really make a difference,” Siner says.

My Sisters’ Charities Thrift Store is located at 4985 S. Alma School Rd., Suite B-103, in Fulton Promenade in Chandler. For more information, call (480) 758-5282 or visit www.mysisterscharities.org.

Springfield Golf Resort offers restaurant, challenging course

As general manager and co-owner of Springfield Golf Resort, Chad Shotton has a message for golfers who drive by the resort.

Even though the resort is behind gates, it is definitely open to the public.

“Right now about 60 to 70 percent of our players do come from the outside, and we also have about 80 members,” Shotton says. Members can play all the golf they want as well as practice with free buckets of range balls, Shotton says.

Shotton, who originally helped to build Springfield Golf Resort when it opened in 1996, bought the course last June. Since then, he has been busy bringing it back to its former beauty.

“When I bought it, it was in really bad shape, so I’m getting it back to its high standards, and getting the greens and fairways back to what they were,” he says.

Springfield Golf Resort offers something for everybody—from newbies to experienced golfers who are looking to conquer the challenging 4,231-yard course, Shotton says.

“Good golfers can still have a good and challenging time here,” he says.

“We also have a really nice restaurant and grill called Eagles Nest Bar and Grill. We serve lots of breakfasts there and have a fish fry on Friday, and also karaoke on Tuesdays.”

Shortly after purchasing the golf course, Shotton says he launched a program that is

ideal for people who golf there frequently, but are not quite ready to become a member. By purchasing a loyalty card and wearing an article of Springfield Golf Resort merchandise while they play, they will get 20 percent off on their green fees.

Looking ahead to the summer months, Shotton says Springfield Golf Resort holds programs for kids, including the chance to play for free with a paid adult.

“We have a teaching pro who is really good at teaching kids, and we also offer lessons for women that include wine and cheese,” he says.

“Our entire staff is really trained and very knowledgeable, and we like to go above and beyond for people.”

One of the things that Shotton especially enjoys about his work is hosting tournaments at the course.

“I just really love the tourneys, and giving away the awards and prizes,” he says, adding that the resort can host two shotgun tournaments and/or fundraisers a day.

“We are really open to working with people on their fundraisers, and we just have a lot of fun doing it.”

Springfield Golf Resort is located at 1200 E. St. Andrews Blvd., in Chandler. For more information call (480) 895-0916 or visit www.springfieldgolfchandler.com

PACC911, Earnhardt Ford unite for pet adoptions at dealership

The Phoenix Animal Care Coalition and Earnhardt Ford are teaming up for the eighth time on a pet adopt-a-thon from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, at the Earnhardt Ford dealership located at 7300 W. Orchid Ln., in Chandler.

This year’s event theme is “Happiness is Adopting a Pet.”

Since 2009, PACC911 pet adoption events at Earnhardt resulted in more than 500 pets finding homes. The organization hopes to place at least 60 pets in homes through this event.

At the event, more than 30 animal rescue groups will gather in the east parking lot of Earnhardt Ford with hundreds of family-friendly dogs, cats and critters available for adoption. There will be entertainment, prizes, food and several vendors and other animal organizations available to answer questions and provide services. ICE/Sears Vacation will be on site as the grand prize sponsor and will raffle a full eight-day, seven-night vacation giveaway with proceeds to benefit PACC911. Choice Pet Food is also a

sponsor of this event.

Grimaldi’s Pizza and beverages will be sold at the event to benefit PACC911’s Emergency Medical Fund, which provides financial aid to valley nonprofit animal welfare groups needing assistance with medical costs. All animals for adoption are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and evaluated.

It is free to attend the event. Adoption fees vary by group.

For more information call PACC911 at (602) 992-4779 or Earnhardt Ford at (480) 8930000.

Formed in 1999, the Phoenix Animal Care Coalition is a nonprofit organization aiming to bring together the Maricopa County animal welfare community in an interactive manner by providing opportunities for all to work together for the greater benefit of animals. PACC911 assists the rescue groups through adoption events, fundraising, education and medical assistance via PACC911’s Emergency Medical Fund. For more information, visit www.PACC911.org.

Pioneer Title, Arizona Trail partner for joint 30th anniversary

For its 30th anniversary, Pioneer Title Agency, an Arizona-based, family-owned business, has partnered with the Arizona Trail Association for “Take a Hike,” the first fundraising and employee wellness challenge utilizing the Arizona National Scenic Trail.

The Arizona Trail is a continuous path across Arizona. It is divided into 43 unique passages and is open to all forms of nonmotorized recreation, including hiking, running, backpacking, horseback riding and mountain biking (outside designated wilderness areas).

Like Pioneer, the Arizona Trail Association also is celebrating a 30-year anniversary.

Through the unique partnership, Pioneer’s team of more than 375 individuals set a goal to raise at least $30,000 this year to support the Arizona Trail. The team also will collectively hike, bike, run or ride all 800-plus miles of the Arizona Trail, with local offices adopting and overseeing that each passage is completed. Families, friends, customers and associates also are invited to participate. In addition to the wellness benefits associated with time spent on the trail, the initiative hopes to encourage everyone to explore a segment of the Arizona Trail that they likely haven’t seen.

In the Southeast Valley, which includes eight branches in Mesa, Tempe and Chandler, local offices signed to trek across and raise funds for the following trails:

• Passage 13, an easy-to-moderate passage that covers more than eight miles across Oracle

• Passage 16, a moderate passage that covers more than 25 miles across the Gila River Canyons

• Passage 18, a moderate passage that covers nearly 19 miles across Reavis Canyon

• Passage 19, a strenuous passage that covers nearly 30 miles across the Superstition Wilderness

• Passage 21, a moderate-tostrenuous passage that covers nearly 20 miles across Pine Mountain

“This project, which many of our offices will be undertaking together, is one of many volunteer and fundraising activities happening in 2015 that our folks will be involved in,” says Keith Newlon, founder and co-owner of Pioneer Title.

“In fact, our team has a statewide community relations program, Pioneer Title Agency in Action, which focuses on giving back both time and money to hundreds of local causes across Arizona.”

“While our ‘Take a Hike’ Trail program is special for our 30th anniversary, giving back at the hyperlocal level is something each and every team member in all 55 branches is

encouraged to do each day.”

When complete, the $30,000 raised through the project will greatly assist the Arizona Trail Association in its mission to build, maintain, promote, protect and sustain the Arizona Trail as a unique encounter with the land.

Perhaps not coincidentally, the concept of the Arizona Trail began about 30 years ago when Dale Shewalter sat atop Coronado Peak near the U.S./Mexico border and shared his dream of a cross-state trail with others. The nearest town to this historic location is Sierra Vista—where the Newlon family founded Pioneer Title

Agency and still operates. Shewalter was an American teacher who founded and promoted the Arizona Trail in 1985.

“One of our goals for this challenge is that more Arizonans will fall in love with the natural wonders that exist along the Arizona National Scenic Trail,” says Matthew Nelson, executive director of the Arizona Trail Association.

“Pioneer’s commitment to covering the entire length of the trail is admirable, and means that many individuals will get to experience some of the least traveled areas in our state.”

Firehouse, APS donate life-saving equipment to assist Sun Lakes

The Sun Lakes Fire District was one of six Arizona Public Safety organizations that received life-saving equipment. Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, in conjunction with Arizona Public Service (APS), donated more than $76,000 in equipment to Arizona first responders. The donations were made possible, in part, by $50,000 from APS made available to first responders within the APS service territory.

Paired with additional contributions made by Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and its donors, the foundation was able to provide equipment to Arizona Public Safety Foundation and Pinal County Sheriff Canine Unit; City of Goodyear; Florence Fire Department; Buckeye Fire Department and Mesa Police Department.

executive director of APS Foundation.

“We are proud to partner with Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to provide much needed equipment to first responder agencies.”

A check and equipment presentation was made Tuesday, Jan. 13, at APS Corporate Headquarters.

“We’re truly grateful to APS for making such an investment in their community’s safety, which allows us to continue giving back to the men and women who risk their lives to save ours,” says Robin Peters, Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation executive director.

“Supporting our first responders is important to APS and to our customers. Not only do they put their lives on the line every day to protect our communities, but our crews often work alongside them during small and large events, including outages and situations that imperil public safety,” says Tina Marie Tentori, director of community affairs and

In 2005, Firehouse Subs created the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation with the mission of providing funding, life-saving equipment, and educational opportunities to first responders and public safety organizations. Many first responders currently work with older equipment and have limited or no access to needed resources, but Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation has given $12 million to hometown heroes in 42 states and Puerto Rico, including more than $397,000 in Arizona.

Fry’s Food Stores help local charity fight cancer

F

ry’s Food Stores has donated $3,000 to the Arizona Myeloma Network (AzMN) as part of its “Sharing Courage Campaign.”

The Fry’s Sharing Courage Campaign has been in place for many years, benefitting dozens of local organizations that fight against breast cancer. The funds donated stay in the communities where their customers and associates live and work, and they support research and provide mammograms and other treatments for women in need. Proudly, Fry’s helps fund cancer education classes and support groups, in addition to providing wigs, mastectomy supplies and transportation assistance. In 2014, this campaign funded 24 local organizations in Arizona.

“We are committed to helping women and their families find treatment and resources they need to face breast cancer head on,” Giannonatti said. “The Sharing Courage campaign allows Fry’s to help give back to the communities we serve and to provide hope to those who face this disease daily.”

“We are so grateful to Fry’s Food Stores and its associates for this wonderful gift,” Kavanagh said. “We started Arizona Myeloma Network, our cancer education and advocacy nonprofit organization, 10 years ago. My husband Jack is a 23-year myeloma cancer survivor, and we want to help other cancer patients and families.”

Three local Fastsigns centers receive national recognition

Recently, Pam Giannonatti, consumer/community relations manager for Fry’s Food Stores, presented Barbara Kavanagh, president and founder of the Arizona Myeloma Network, with a check for $3,000 at a local Fry’s.

“Fry’s is very much aware of the toll breast cancer and all cancers have on the

The donation is going to help AzMN fund its Free Cancer Caregivers’ Education and Support Programs being presented this year in the Valley. Fry’s Food Stores will also be leading the AzMN “Out Race Cancer” 5k walk/run on Sunday, April 12, a fundraiser that will help AzMN provide additional Cancer Caregivers’ programs in 2016.

Three Phoenix area Fastsigns centers received national recognition out of more than 570 locations worldwide at the 2015 Fastsigns International Convention, which was recently held in Dallas, Texas.

The three centers, Fastsigns of Phoenix—Central/Downtown, owned by Scott Koehler; Fastsigns of Chandler, owned by Tom Calvert; and Fastsigns of Goodyear, owned by Jerry Hoyler— received the Pinnacle Club Award, which is given to the centers ranked 26 to 125 in the United States and Canada for sales volume from the previous year.

“We’re very proud of our franchisees who receive recognition for their outstanding accomplishments,” says Catherine Monson, CEO of Fastsigns International Inc. “These awards recognize the hard work, excellent customer service and innovative thinking that these Fastsigns center teams provide every day.”

Fastsigns provides comprehensive visual communications solutions, including wall, window and floor graphics, architectural signs, trade show displays, wayfinding solutions, vehicle wraps, digital signage and more.
