YNPN Phoenix
Tuesday June 5, 2012 – Tuesday June 5, 2012
Description:
The Salon and Sip Discussion Clubs next topic is going to be leadership. In an attempt to break from the standard leadership theory reads we have decided to go with “Cesar Chavez: An Autobiography of La Causa” as our guiding book for the discussion. Take some time to learn about this great civil rights leader from our own backyard and how he led a powerful movement. Then watch out for our weekly Friday posting on the topic of leadership and join us June 5th at 6pm at Sun Up Brewery for some fun, drinks and quality discussion about this amazing leader. The book is about $20 and will probably have to be ordered as it’s older. Please email membership@ynpnphoenix.orgif you would like to get in on our group order happening next week.
Event Description: The Mom Prom Phoenix is KITSCHY. TACKY. GAUDY. FUN! and will have an over-the-top 80’s theme. Big Hair, Big Laughs, Big Fun! — as ladies channel their inner Madonna and dance to the music of the big hair bands of the 80’s. The event is for women 21 and over to relive their prom days or a chance to attend a prom they were never able to attend because, for one reason or another, life got in the way — plus an opportunity for one well deserving lady to be elected Prom Queen.
The Mom Prom Phoenix is The Life Junkies’ inaugural fundraiser. A Mom Prom is a party with a purpose! A ladies night out (all ladies—not just moms) where women wear old bridesmaids or prom dresses, dance to music from their high school years, and raise money for charity. This year, Phoenix is the largest city in the U.S. to host a Mom Prom although Mom Proms have been hosted in 50 U.S. cities across the United States receiving news coverage from The New York Times, Good Morning America and many other local news stations.
The Life Junkies is a 501 (c)(3) that addresses unplanned pregnancy in the 18-29 population by using social media to advocate for the use of more effective/longer lasting contraception, the development of problem-solving skills and the creation of life plans.

Event Description: On Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the Phoenix Zoo, the 5th Annual AZ Kids Count Walk-a-thon will take place with the majority of the fundraising proceeds to be donated to Greater Phoenix Youth at Risk. Established by the North Phoenix Rotary, this fundraising event was created to put greater focus on the needs of Arizona’s kids. Over the years, more than 90% of all proceeds from this annual event have gone to nonprofit organizations that specifically help Arizona’s youth and children, hence, helping our community at-large. Youth at Risk will have several teams walking as well as North and Peoria Rotaries.
Cost to register as a walker is $20. This includes a t-shirt, snacks, and an all-day pass to the Phoenix Zoo for that day.

Questions contact Cassandra O’Neill at cassandraoneill@comcast.net.
Day 1 will focus on answering the question: What does research show leads to organizational effectiveness in three key areas: Adaptive Capacity/Strategic Learning, Leadership, and Management Practices?
Day 2 will focus on decision-making when investing in capacity building, that aligns with research on organizational effectiveness.
Keynote Speaker: Peter York, TCC Group. Peter York is Senior Partner and Chief Research and Learning Officer at TCC Group. As the field learns more about what it takes to help organizations become effective, some long-standing assumptions about what constitutes high-quality capacity building are being challenged. TCC Group (TCC) has designed, implemented, managed and evaluated over 70 capacity building initiatives, organizations and projects over the past 12 years. Through this body of work, TCC has amassed a significant amount of data and research findings which, in aggregate, are shedding light on what works and what does not when it comes to nonprofit organizational capacity building.
