Looking through the Lenses of Team DPI! \ud83d\udd76\ufe0f \n\nThe teams at @DowntownPhoenix (DPI) and Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) love every opportunity to embrace personal style and local flair from head to toe. We surveyed the office and captured all of the funky frames from Urban Eyecare (@urbaneyecarephx), which is across the street from our office. \n\nOne of the things we love about DTPHX is its walkability \u2014 and you don't have to travel far to find 10\/10 frames and 20\/20 vision care. If you want to add a pop of personality to your daily eyewear, Urban Eyecare stocks those one-of-a-kind frames that combine fashion with function! \n\nTo get your eyes checked out, visit urbaneyesphx.com

What happens when PCA Members, Articipants and a nonprofit mingle at a unique venue? They connect! \ud83c\udfb3\ud83e\udd1d \n\nDuring Wednesday's event at Ch\u00e2m Pang Lanes (@champanglanes), this very thing happened when these groups bowled and conversed over drinks and food. Key collaborations with Members made the event a roaring success: \n\nWhat started as a mingle quickly became a fusion event with @Artlink_Phoenix's Mixed Media Happy Hour, a regularly scheduled event to meet local artists and other creative professionals. From there, the opportunity arose to invite Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels (@ahrangels), a nonprofit that supports families affected by childhood cancer diagnoses and other illnesses. Throughout the event, attendees were encouraged to jot down notes of support for children and their families. \n\nThe formula that makes every PCA event vital is awareness of other Members, which sparks ways to get involved further. Stay tuned for related upcoming programming that you can attend! \ud83c\udf79 \n\nThanks to Ch\u00e2m Pang Lanes, Artlink, and Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels for collaborating!

We're grateful for the enlightening presentations by Kristin Gubser from GateWay Community College and Holly Kurtz from the Center for the Future of Arizona. The committee aims to enhance an understanding within the business community of how they can support and collaborate with educational institutions.\n\nFollowing the meeting, the City of Phoenix held a Wonderful Workforce Happy Hour in partnership with Arizona @ Work.
