Business Briefcase
byShaneMcOwen
IN THE BIZ
Hello, and welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers. It’s good to see your smiling faces once again, and if you’ve seen my vehicle lately, you’d be able to see the smiles yourself through the reflection. Your Briefcase host got his first car wash in some time, and he feels ShaneMcOwen pretty good about it. I’ve rediscovered the true color of the paint, and have a fancy new $1 air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror. Now that I caved and washed my car, that means rain is on the horizon, right? Isn’t that how this works? I better get my new wipers on the windshield before that comes to pass. Last time it rained, they broke apart and flung right off my car. It was admittedly hilarious, but tough to see on the rest of the ride home. Let’s get to the business news. Although I try not to be one to the Briefcase readers, those suffering from a pain in the neck (or back) will be happy to hear of the next business. Healthy Spines Chiropractic is celebrating a ribbon-cutting ceremony put on by the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce from 9 to 11 a.m. May 3 at 1473 N. Dysart Road, Suite 101, in Avondale.

Now that we’ve covered some health options for humans, it’s time to move on to pets. It’s not going to do them any good, since pets can’t read, but I’m trusting you to relay the message for me. Gentle Hearts Animal Hospital is open in Goodyear at 14445 W. McDowell Road, Suite A-106. The veterinary clinic is celebrating with a grand opening event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

West Valley cities preparing budgets byGlennGullickson It’s budget season in city halls in the West Valley as municipal financial officers and city council members crunch the numbers. City officials are required to approve budgets and adjust tax levies for the 201718 fiscal year, which begins July 1.

Two weeks after the final adoption of the budget, the council is expected to approve the primary and secondary property tax levies for ongoing general fund revenue and the secondary property tax levy for general obligation bond debt service.

Women making a difference locally 100+ Women Who Care expands to the West Valley byKourtneyBalsan There’s a new group of women in town, a group of women who care. They’re part of the 100+ Women Who Care organization, Valley of the Sun Chapter. The new West Valley chapter is dedicated to helping the community with donations going directly to local nonprofits and charities. Giving is their priority, as women from all over the West Valley meet to give money to charities that will impact their communities directly, said Kim Tarnopolski, chief community builder at 100+ Women Who Care Valley of the Sun. “What we’re doing is bringing women together that we can leverage our smaller gifts of $100 to make a larger gift of up to $10,000 or more that’s going to have a greater impact on the charity, so that’s the purpose of bringing women together and community and making an impact on the Valley,” Tarnopolski said. 100+ Women Who Care’s West Valley group met for its first quarterly donations meeting Feb. 9 at the Courtyard Phoenix West/Avondale. “We just really wanted to have a West Valley group, a little selfishly because we don’t like driving all the way to Scottsdale, but we also just felt there are a lot of women who do live on this side of town who are like us and want to be a part of something like this where they can make a bigger impact with their donations,” said Marnie Cooley, a member and facilitator. The organization has donated almost $39,000 to more than 19 Arizona charities since 2015, and the new West Valley branch has high hopes for the future, Tarnopolski said, adding the organization’s goal is to reach $500,000 in five years. “It makes me feel good. Truly, it’s a selfish thing,” Cooley said. “When I come to these meetings, I know that my donation, partnered with all of these others, is going to make a big impact for a local charity. That makes me feel good.” 100+ Women Who Care is an international organization making a change at

According to the organization’s website, the idea came from founder and former Jackson, Mich., Mayor Karen Dunigan in 2006 when she was made aware of local new mothers’ dire need for baby cribs. Dunigan needed $10,000 to make a difference and she thought she must know 100 or more women who would care enough to donate $100. She raised more money than she originally needed and created the 100+ Women Who Care, thinking there are more women in the world who want to make

a difference in their communities. She was right, as the organization expanded all over the United States and to Canada and Mexico. Chapters are started by local community members looking to make a difference. “I was already giving a little bit of money here and there to different organizations that I knew and liked, and then I heard of this concept and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, this is perfect for me.’ I can’t really spend a lot of time volunteering anymore because of my family and work life, so knowing that I can make a donation that would make such a bigger impact was very appealing to me,” Cooley said. The Feb. 9 meeting started with an opportunity to briefly socialize. Then

Cooley pulled three nonprofits, which were nominated before the meeting, out of a hat. Members who nominated the charities that were pulled spoke in front of the group about the charities, where the donations would go and what benefit they would bring, in addition to a brief question-and-answer session. At the end of the meeting, the members voted and the charity with the most votes received the checks. “Everyone is so positive and so uplifting,” said Sharri Runnels, a new Women Who Care member. The first nonprofit pulled was Trivium Preparatory Academy, where donations would be given to the Goodyear charter school’s musical arts program. The second charity was the Spina Bifida Association of Arizona, where donations would help local children diagnosed with spina bifida with emergency wrist bands and rehabilitative programs to help the children and their families. The last charity pulled was Make-

A-Wish Arizona foundation, where the donations would go to local Make-AWish recipients. The members voted to write their $100 checks to the Spina Bifida Association of Arizona. Runnels, who is the executive director of the Spina Bifida Association of Arizona, said she is eager to be a part of an organization that thrives because of motivated women. “It is so exciting to me that there are women who are philanthropic, and they share desire and are passionate about their charities,” Runnels said. “Regardless of the fact that I am with the Spina Bifida Association, I just wanted to be around women who are uplifting and encouraging and doing something for someone other than themselves.” Women Who Care is not only a great way to donate, but also to meet new friends, find volunteering opportunities and to nominate one’s own charity to give exposure to a cause of her own, Runnels said. “Not only is it awesome for us to have the finances, but our awareness message,” she said. “[The members tonight] asked about if spina bifida is preventable and actually two-thirds of spina bifida cases can be prevented if a woman is taking a multivitamin before conception,
