Looking for a Non-Profit
working with Teens and Children
Amanda is actively looking for an organization she can donate her time to. If you are aware of an organization in the West Valley that supports Teens and/or Children that could use an energetic volunteer with a passion for working for children please contact Amanda at aring@bade-associates.com
Community Service - Giving Back
Bade's newest member, Gary Claybaugh volunteers for WelcomeBackVeterans.org and Iparticipate.org.
Both of these groups are very near to his heart due to his, and his family's long military history. Many of his friends have sons and daughters in the miliary and he feels strongly about joining organizations that focus on supporting them.
Gary is also finding his niche in the various local and state-wide transportation planning committees. His concern for the future of the valley's transportation needs leads him to investigate joining committees that focus on planning. He is currently seeking a position on relevant committees and focus groups.
Eve's Place & Eve's Treasures - Volunteer Norma Linse
"I believe that everyone should give of themselves to someone or to something in the community. My “cause” is Eve’s Place, a safe house for abused women and children. I work at Eve’s Treasures (located at 107th & Peoria Ave.) with the hope that my contribution will make a difference for those at Eve’s Place. The women and children of Eve’s Place truly do benefit from the sales that happen at Eve’s Treasures. If you have the time to volunteer, please call the corporate office of Eve’s Place in Surprise, AZ. I’m sure you will find the work as fulfilling as I do."
West Valley Community Resources
The West Side of Metropolitan Phoenix has always been a thriving community, but no one expected the phenomenal growth that has taken place in the last few years.

At SL Bade & Associates, we realize the importance of community involvement and are committed to helping the West Valley become the best it can be. We are proud to play our part in the West Valley's growth and invite you to visit the websites of the municipalities and organizations that make up the heart of our community.
