Chairman’s Message The Holiday season is upon us. With visitors from around the world descending on our Gem of the Desert, shopping, lights and cheer will begin to fill the air as we celebrate a joyful La Quinta Holiday Season. The holiday season will officially begin with our annual tree lighting ceremony on December 6th. This free event is in the La Quinta Civic Center Park from 6 PM – 9 PM. A few days after that is one of La Quinta’s premiere events, the IRONMAN 70.3 Indian Wells La Quinta on December 8th. This event is in its second year and brings competitive triathletes from around the world to La Quinta to compete. For more information on that event, including route maps, visit laquintaca.gov/ironman. As the La Quinta Chamber Chair, I would be remiss if I did not mention the importance of this shopping season to our local La Quinta business community. Please remember to spend your dollars locally whenever possible and support your local small businesses! Every dollar spent at a local restaurant, shop, spa or other business makes a direct impact on our local economy. Studies have shown that for every $100 spent at a local business, nearly $68 of that stays in our local economy. With the retail and service industry being among the largest employers to residents, you truly are making a difference by keeping your holiday shopping here, in the City of La Quinta. The Greater Coachella Valley Chamber of Commerce was once again a proud partner for Small Business Saturday, and the chamber has made shopping local this holiday season even easier. If you visit cvshoplocal.com, you can find a list of local businesses right here in La Quinta to meet your holiday shopping needs. I’m looking forward to seeing you at our local shops. Have a happy holiday season and a joyous new year. Ray Dominguez is the Sales Manager at Lamar Outdoor Advertising. You can contact Ray for all your outdoor advertising needs at rdominguez@lamar.com or call at 760-834-9453.

Take a Stroll Down Gingerbread Lane at Old Town Artisan Studios This Holiday Season Submitted by: Old Town Artisan Studio Staff It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Now in its second season, Old Town Artisan Studios’ (OTAS) Gingerbread Lane is expected to be one of the top holiday attractions in the Coachella Valley. “There has been so much buzz about Gingerbread Lane already this season, and we are ready to welcome people of all ages looking to celebrate the holidays in a unique and interactive way,” said Thomas Burns, executive director of Old Town Artisan Studios. Old Town Artisan Studios will be transforming its 3-acre art campus into Gingerbread Lane – a winter wonderland with multiple Christmas trees, trimmed garland, twinkling lights, a marquee 17-foot tree next to Santa’s workshop, and NEW THIS YEAR – a holiday train! OTAS will also be offering gingerbread cookies and hot cider in the culinary area, along with cookie decorating, clay ornament painting, and more. And, of course, Gingerbread Lane wouldn’t be complete without Santa Claus!
On Saturdays, December 7th, 14th and 21st, Santa will be at Old Town Artisan Studios in person. In addition to all the activities, live entertainment will also get you in the holiday spirit including seasonal music, delightful dance and performances by local youth organizations in the Coachella Valley. Gingerbread Lane has been the dream of Old Town Artisan Studios founder, Victory Grund. “The mission for this family event is to bring back the joy of giving through the holidays through creating hand-made gifts for family and friends. When a person of any age creates a gift by hand for loved ones, it becomes a treasure that grows more valuable with each passing year.” Enjoy the magic of the holiday season by visiting Old Town Artisan Studios between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on one of the first 3 Saturdays in December – the 7th, the 14th and the 21st. Gingerbread Lane is free to the public thanks to the generos ity of the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation. For more information, go to ol dtowna rti sans tud ios .or g.

Holiday Decorating Tips Submitted by: GCVCC Staff
Decorating during the holiday season can be a da unting task. There are your standard home decorations, holiday parties, family gettogethers, and so much more. We sat down with the design experts at Paper Doll Interiors to get some tips on decorating during the holiday season. What is Paper Doll Interiors? It’s your one-stop shop for everything interior design. Wallpaper, window treatments, fabrics, furniture, accessories, and design services. How lo ng have you been based out of La Quinta? We have been in our La Quinta location since 2008, but I’ve had my business here in the valley since 1972! Can you give us some tips for decorating your home for the Holidays? Decorations do not need to be matchy-matchy. I love mixing old and new - grandma’s trinkets with glamorous polished nickel items. Also, small touches go a long way, a cluste r of 2 or 3 ornaments in a bowl or in a vase instant ly make existing items “Christ masy”. Can you give us some tips for decorating for a holiday party? Greenery is always the answer to any tricky décor issue: garlands, wreaths, or a handful of pine

stems and ribbon. Set foliage on the dinner table, entryway, or kitchen island. Add a few candles and - voila! Holiday cheer! Are there any major holiday decorating don’ts? Don’t be so serious! Remember the joy of the holiday, whether you have little vignettes of decorations throughout the house or you focus decorating only in the main living area of your house. These things are meant to bring warmth and happiness to your home for you and your family. Is there anything you would like to add? We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and look forward to helping you in any way throughout the year. We are open year-round and no job is too big or too small. Come to Paper Doll, where the helpful people are! How can someone find you? Come in or call our shop at (760) 346-5944. We are open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and we are closed on Sundays. Contact us via our website at www.paperdollinteriors.com and remember, we want you to come home to a paper doll home of your own.

Designing the Perfect Holiday Card Submitted by: JNS Next
The fundamentals of design remain the same, whether it be a spread for People Magazine or a personalized card for the holidays. Before you even begin conceptualizing a look, feel, or message, you need to ask yourself: Who is t his intended for and what emotion do I want to elicit in the person/people receiving it? Is this piece intended for mass distribution, or are you looking to touch each person individually?
sending an electronic card. The added bonus is you’ll save on paper and postage! If you’d like additional design tips or need help with a specific project or campaign, our team is here to help! Contact Risseth Lora, Vice President of Operations at JNS Next at 760-775-0000 or risseth@jnsnext.com.
Most people who take the time to handpick a holiday card or those who opt to customize a card for their friends and loved ones, aspire to incorporate a personal touch. In order to achieve that, there are a few key factors to consider. 1. Are you more quirky or traditional? If you are going the Shutterfly route, you have dozens of silhouettes, backgrounds and finishes to consider. You can order the default 4” x 6” card which tends to be the most economical, or you can pay a little more and select a more original shape (a circle or scalloped layout, or oversize) that will make your card stand out among the rest. 2. As a business, you may choose to take a really buttoned up approach, or you may choose to show a more playful side to make your card more relatable to your recipients. Consider the industry you’re in and who is on the receiving end. 3. With the design, you can also choose a less traditional color scheme to be a bit more unique, or, you can pair bold graphics or fonts with traditional elements to add an interesting twist. 4. Words are the heart and soul of a card. Make sure not to be too longwinded, and try to be as thoughtful as you can with the message. 5. The finish of the card (how it feels to the touch) is also an element that is important to consider. You can go with a matted finish for a more sophisticated look, or high gloss for a more dramatic effect. Glitter and other embellishments also add a more handcrafted/homemade look. 6. You can also go the eco-friendly route by

Were you Born in 1955?
Chapelli’s My Dog Sam I love him to death BUT he is really dumb…let me explain. Sam is my 3 year old male chocolate lab. He is my third lab so I should know better and I consider myself a patient person BUT every morning we go for a walk, I feed him and then fill his water bowl. Now for some reason Sam is always thirsty and instead of drinking all at one time, he laps at the water and then drools it across my kitchen floor and half way down the hall depending on where I am…slimy drops of water that I can’t stand so I grab a wet mop and attempt to dry this up. I no sooner put the mop away and he is back to his bowl and does it again. I call him a few choice words none of which are Sam… all of which he ignores and then looks at me like” am I supposed to understand anything your saying?”

Dude…When are you going to start those $19.99 three course dinner specials Chapelli’s is so well known for. I was shocked to say the least and thought about it. I mean he is only a dog, what does he know other than finding the right tree in the morning and how to piss me off my drooling his water all over?
CMY
Then it occurred to me, I had booked a room last week after watching an owl who has a British accent…purchased some insurance because of a talking gecko and now I’m looking at something that some Emu is selling. Maybe Sam is a genius and I’m the dumb one. If I can only get his to speak with an English accent. More to come on our website…I’m gonna make this dog a star!

Wages vs. Shareholder Distributions: Considerations for S-Corporations Submitted by: Mary F. Barnett, Osborne Rincon Shareholders of S-Corporations can choose to take their compensation either as wages or as shareholder distributions. However, there are some things to be aware of when considering the best option. Any person who provides services for an S-Corporation – and who is compensated for those services performed – should be treated as an employee. That covers all officers except for those who perform no services or only minimal services for the corporation. Standard wages are subject to federal and state payroll taxes including Social Security and Medicare taxes. Distributions, on the other hand, are exempt from these taxes. The Internal Revenue Service requires that shareholders take a “fair and reasonable” amount of their compensation in salary – and so does the Employment Development Department for the State of California. What are considered “fair and reasonable” wages? The fair amount of wages for the shareholder should be based on the industry standard and will change depending on the industry. The criteria can include the time and effort involved in running the operation, the experience level required to accomplish the business tasks, the cost of living in the company’s area, and the point of compensation between the shareholder’s tasks as owner/operator and those of non-owner operator employees in the same position.

In other words, if you own a construction business and you have a foreman you pay $50,000 a year, you should be paying yourself at least that $50,000. If you were to lose your foreman, you would step in and take his place until you can replace him or her – and that is one of the ways the IRS looks at what is “fair and reasonable.” It is important that you make sound decisions when it comes to taking distributions from your S-corporation verses wages. In recent years, the IRS has targeted S-Corporation shareholders who have failed to disburse adequate wages to themselves. You, as a business owner, do not want to be audited for lack of wages and therefore be assessed payroll taxes, penalties and interest on back wages you should have been taking all along. If you have any questions regarding the wages versus distributions you take, you should contact your CPA, EA, or tax professional to make sure you are prepared and that you are within the parameters of “fair and reasonable.” Mary Barnett is an enrolled agent and senior account with Osborne Rincon, and brings with her 14+ years of accounting experience. Mary is especially knowledgeable in landscape accounting and CNG fuel sales, among others. Osborne Rincon is one of the oldest and most respected fullservice accounting firms in the Coachella Valley.

Apricot Lane Boutique
At its core, Apricot Lane Boutique is a business that empowers women everywhere to work for themselves. That is why Elena Cota, franchise owner, has brought this unique brand to the beautiful City of La Quinta and the Coachella Valley. Elena has always envisioned bringing a unique clothing store for the ladies of La Quinta and the Coachella Valley. Apricot Lane has brought business opportunities all over the USA by focusing on providing our customers with the gorgeous fashions and high-style pieces they are looking for. The store keeps up with everchanging fashion trends by consistently changing out the clothing it carries to keep the styles fresh and current. In the spring of 2008, the prestigious International Council of Shopping Centers Association (ICSC) awarded Apricot Lane the Hot Retail Concept for Fashion Award. That same year, Apricot Lane made Entrepreneur Magazine List of the Top 50 Hottest Franchises of the Year. Keeping up with the newest fashions and latest styles is, in itself, a challenge. The fast-paced fashion industry and its changing looks from season to season demands that fashion franchises maintain new inventory to keep customers coming back. The Apricot Lane shopper is a stylish and
28
sophisticated woman looking for clothes that fit a variety of situations. She is unique and seeks one-of-a-kind pieces she can’t find anywhere else. Our typical shopper doesn’t want to purchase items that are so massproduced that they see them each time they go to work, school, out running errands, etc.
Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings
Apricot Lane is a great other and daughter boutique with something for everyone. There will always be something fresh and new at Apricot Lane Boutique La Quinta. That is why this store owner has brought this unique brand to her community. Apricot Lane Boutiques are considered “fast fashion”. A few factors that describe the benefits of this type of fashion are affordable pricing, quick response time from runway to store, limited production items to keep them unique, continuous addition of new inventory, and up-todate interpretations of hot runway looks. Visit us at our shop:
Established in 2004, Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings originally opened in Litchfield Park, Arizona and was a neighborhood favorite for years. After closing for a few years, they decided to give it another go, in their favorite city, La Quinta, California.

After finding the “perfect location” in La Quinta for their restaurant, they left Orange County and moved permanently to their vacation home in La Quinta. Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings specializes in family recipes that have been handed down for generations, using only fresh, quality ingredients. Pizza dough, pasta dishes, and sauces are made daily. Their sub sandwiches are made with freshly baked 10-inch rolls from their local bakery, and the vegetables used for their
salads are chopped fresh daily. Their wings are very unique and are a must-try. The Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings team is so excited to not only be living in La Quinta but also running their business in the city they love. Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings is family owned and operated and looks forward to serving the community. Please stop in and say hi! Sabatinos Pizza Pasta & Wings is your new Neighborhood Pizza Shop. They are located at 79410 Hwy. 111 Suite 103 and can be reached at (442)-256-3373.
