Olivia loves her new CRY, especially the entertainment system. On our recent trip to Outer Banks, NC we drove 12 hours each way. Not only was Olivia entertained, but mom and dad were both comfortable the entire trip. This vehicle was our fourth Honda, and our second purchased from Sam Swope Honda. Our service was excellent during our purchase and we would happily recommend Sam Swope Honda to all of our Friends and family.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Advertising and Editorializing Parties

H

ere at Nfocus, parties are our “work.” Despite the quotation marks, we do take partying seriously. Well-thrown fundraising parties generate significant funds for their nonprofits, and our editorial mission is to support philanthropy. To avoid a party foul, we follow a set of party rules that help us mind the gap between advertising and editorializing. As any Journalism 101 student knows, advertising is content purchased and editorial is content generated and vetted independent of advertising relations. I know, I know, I started out talking about parties and here I am being pedantic, but the party will benefit if we just get the rules straight first: Party Rule #1: Editorial is “Invite Only.” Unlike the silk rope between VIP and general admission, the boundary between advertising and editorial content is inviolable. Unlike tickets to an event, it’s not for sale. If we are writing about a person or a nonprofit, they’re in Nfocus because of the good they do in our community. There’s no gray (or blue) area here.

Party Rule #2: Math is fun and

philanthropic! If you’re throwing a party and you keep to the nonprofit standard of 15% overhead, we’ve got you covered. We’d love to take your picture, tell your story, and help make your party a philanthropic phenomenon. We know that many nonprofits have no budget for advertising, and it is our mission to support them based upon their bottom line, not ours.

Party Rule #3: The media list is open and inclusive. To be completely tautological: fundraising parties are meant to raise funds, which means the more press they receive the better! Although Nfocus is the media sponsor of many elite events, we never exclude other media outlets from covering events we sponsor.

Our goal is to get the word out, not to suppress it.

We greatly value and depend upon our advertisers to put out a creative, thoughtful FREE publication each month. Thank you for making it possible to support the many nonprofits that have made our compassionate city the talk of the nation this year!

ressed in military and black tie attire, guests arrived at the Louisville Marriott East on November 2 for an evening celebrating the 10th anniversary of USA Cares while honoring the work done by community members for military families and veterans. “The team and Board of Directors [of USA Cares] are motivated to help veterans and military families with jobs, housing and emergency assistance, along with providing much needed support for combat injured veterans suffering with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain unjuries,” shared Lukas Dwelly, USA Cares Development Consultant and former Marine and current Officer in the Navy Reserves. “Over $10 million in support in the past decade says a lot about this national veterans charity located in Kentucky.”

A VIP Reception on the 2nd floor welcomed honorees and their friends and families with an open bar, passed hors d’oeuvres and live music before they made their way to the ballroom for the formal gala dinner. “The honorees, Wayne Hettinger, former Miss America Heather French Henry, retired Brigadier General Robert Givens, Sam Swope and Humana Military have contributed a great deal to our community on behalf of veterans,” said Dwelly. “Louisville is a great military town because of these individuals and our many corporate citizens like Humana.”

Decked in a festive red blazer, Johnny Bench, a Major League Baseball Hall of Fame catcher, joined in the celebration saying that the USA Cares Gala was “1st class!”

USA Cares demonstrates in a variety of ways how they “embrace a hero’s heart.”

Having responded to over 45,000 requests for assistance, USA Cares strives to remove financial barriers that prevent veterans from receiving vital treatments, from securing employment, and through providing emergency financial assistance during times of reduced income. In addition, USA Cares also provides job assistance through a partnership with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and housing programs with the help of a grant from the Homeownership Preservation Foundation.

Signature Chefs Unsurpassed Food & Fundraising for March of Dimes

T

he November 14, 2013, Signature Chefs Auction celebrated 75 years of the March of Dimes working for stronger, healthier babies. The Diamond Anniversary was beautifully signified in images by Power Creative of bejeweled and bedazzled food, but not even diamond encrusted cupcakes could be more enticing than the culinary treats plated at the Marriott Louisville Downtown by Louisville’s 25 Signature Chefs: Peng Looi, Michael Crouch, Graham Weber, Jeff Bridges, Richard Doering, Andrew Welenken, Clay Wallace, Erica Parker, Dean Corbett, Erik Keeney, Anthony Lusiak, Harold Baker, Shawn Ward, Kathy Cary, Dallas McGarity, Allen Hubbard, Gil Logan, Brian Curry, Brian Riddle, Jason Pierce, Ryan O’Driscoll, John Varanese, Geoffrey Heyde, Agostino Gabriele, and Josh Moore.

The People’s Choice Award went to Volare, whose Executive Chef Josh Moore served as Signature Chefs Lead Chef for the sixth consecutive year. With Chef Moore at the helm, Signature Chef ’s has raised over $1 million for the March of Dimes!

Sidebar swept the rest of the awards, winning Best Presentation, Signature Chefs, Triple Crown, and the Louisville’s Finest and Judges’ Favorite Awards. Celebrity Chef Damaris Phillips and a panel of judges (Steve Hacker, Tomese Buthod, Tim Laird, Anne West Butler, Dan Dry, Lori Laird, Jerry Zegart, Damaris Phillips, Linc Snyder, and Myron Hobbs) were clearly won over by Chef Jason Pierce’s fresh kale salad.

Following dinner, emcee John Ramsey introduced the 2013 Ambassador Family, Cathy and Matt Koehler, whose daughters Amelia and Cecelia were both born premature and whose struggle represents everything that the Signature Chefs committee works so hard to raise funds and awareness to support. A rousing live auction was then admirably led by Jim Miller, and the financial results attest to the quality of this event and the hard work of the committee—$330,000 for the March of Dimes in one night!

Congratulations to co-chairs Melissa Hines and Jenni Elliott for a successful event, proudly presented by the University of Louisville, the UofL Center for Women & Infants, UofL Physicians, and Nfocus Magazine.

Need Pet Help? Call our free Pet Help Line, 509-4PET. When Jonathan Shuford and his wife, Liz, bought a house, they decided it was time to add to their family. They adopted an eight-week-old puppy from the Kentucky Humane Society.

But Ellie proved to be a challenge: she was a rambunctious, energetic pup who liked to chew everything, including Jonathan and Liz. “We love her, but Ellie has no ‘off’ button,” says Jonathan.

The couple debated bringing her back to the shelter. Instead, Jonathan called the Kentucky Humane Society’s free Pet Help Line, designed to help keep pets in their homes and out of shelters by giving pet owners the tools they need to have healthy relationships with their pets.

With behavior expert Katy McClellan’s help, the couple learned how to encourage Ellie to play appropriately and found solutions for when she plays too roughly.

“Katy answers all our questions,” says Jonathan. “With her help, we are learning how to best train Ellie as she grows through her puppy stage.”

The Kentucky Humane Society’s free Pet Help Line is available to anyone who has questions about cats or dogs. Our staff and trained volunteers provide free advice on all things pet related and can help owners connect with local pet resources.

From Hunger to Hope Hoedown with Wendy and David Novak Steve Cooley, John Hawkins

Howard Lazarus, Ora Frankel

W

endy and David Novak’s annual fundraiser for the UN World Food Program is one of our favorite charity events, not only because of the phenomenal amount of funds raised each year—$840,000 this year!—but also because it’s genuinely one of Louisville’s most fun parties with not-to-miss entertainment.

Guests arrived at the Yum! Brands Campus on Gardiner Lane in their cowboy boots ready to stomp out hunger at the “Boots & Barbeque” hoedown. Decked out in cowboy hats, bolo ties, red kerchiefs, and a bounty of turquoise, guests bent an elbow, enjoying country lemonade and southern tea cocktails while bluegrass musicians Steve Cooley and John Hawkins picked and strummed.

At chowtime, Jarfi’s catering rustled up some of the best eats to be found at ANY barbeque, not to mention a charity event! All 500 guests dined family style at place settings that included the iconic red plastic cups used in hunger-relief programs around the world, as CEO David Novak led the crowd in the Yum! cheer (give me a “Y” . . .) and thanked his guests for helping Yum! take the world from hunger to hope. President and CEO of the World Food Program USA, Rick Leach, thanked Yum! for the more than $170 million in aid the world’s largest restaurant company has pitched in.

Novak, author of Taking People With You, clearly succeeded in taking this crowd with him on his passionate mission to end world hunger: the paddle raise, which took the place of the traditional live auction, was a charity showdown with local companies like Creative Alliance and D.D. Williamson donating $10,000 each!

Led by emcee Terry Meiners and Laura Melillo Barnum, Executive Director of the Foundation, $840,000 was raised for the World Food Program—enough to provide nearly 3.4 million meals!

From showdown to hoedown, before riding off into the sunset all the cowpokes in this corral got to play out their urban cowboy fantasies, showing off their moves on a mechanical bull and kicking up their heels to Terry McDermott (“The Voice,” Season 3) and The Bonfires.

Feast on Equality LGBT Center at University of Louisville

A

sold-out event, the 2nd annual Feast on Equality on November 22 at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage celebrated the work done by the LGBT Center at the University of Louisville. The LGBT Center, led by Brian Buford, strives to strengthen and sustain an inclusive campus community at UofL, one that welcomes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions through support, educational resources and advocacy.

Brown-Forman cocktails abounded before guests made their way to dinner, prepared by Wiltshire Pantry. Following dinner, a video sharing the stories of UofL students who have been impacted by the LGBT Center set the tone for the night.

“We are a community where everyone is valued to the maximum degree,” shared Mayor Greg Fischer. “We are a community that has a University with a five-star ranking for LGBT relationships which is extraordinarily important. We can’t be a great city without a great University, and the University of Louisville and Dr. James Ramsey are doing a tremendous job.”

In recognition of the work done by the University of Louisville, Feast on Equality honored UofL President Dr. James Ramsey, who shared that, “It is through education that we will build a more tolerant inclusive society… our mission is to foster and sustain an environment free of prejudice and bias. We understand the most amazing results come from being open.”

“Thanks to the generosity of our donors and corporate sponsors,” said event chair Tommy Arnold. Corporate Sponsors for the evening included Humana, Humana Vitality, KBD, YUM!, Brown-Forman, PNC Bank, Aspire Real Estate Group, Chiropractic Louisville and Cool World Visual Creations. With over $100,000 raised to support the work done by the LGBT Center at UofL, Feast on Equality was a tremendous success. For more on the Feast on Equality visit feastonequality.org.

Snow Ball Kosair Celebrates the Wendy L. Novak Diabetes Care Center

T

he Louisville Marriott Downtown hosts charity events year round, but perhaps none is more regal than the Snow Ball for Kosair Children’s Hospital presented by Konica Minolta. Keeping to traditions, gowns graced the ground accompanied by jet-black bowties as guests were greeted by dancers from the Louisville Ballet. The champagne was bubbly as ever and the raffle prizes unsurpassed—a home valued at $428,000 donated by Norton Commons, a 2014 white BMW 3 series convertible, plus $10,000 cash, donated by Sam Swope, and a $10,000 shopping spree at Burdorf ’s!

This year, Snow Ball guests had even more to celebrate than normal—the creation of the Wendy L. Novak Diabetes Care Center. The Center was generously endowed by Lift a Life Foundation, established in 1999 by David and Wendy Novak, and the gift is part of a $12 million initiative that will fund the state-of-the-art comprehensive diabetes care center to offer education and treatment of Type 1 diabetes, previously known as juvenile diabetes. Wendy Novak said, “I just want to tell you about how excited we are about this center and I know we’re going to get lots of support from all of you.”

Guests warmly welcomed Benjamin Brissom to the stage. Brissom is a patient at Kosair Children’s Hospital and will be benefiting from the new wing. Brissom said, “Without Kosair Children’s Hospital, I might still be sick and it’s a good feeling to know that every time I do get sick, the team at Kosair Children’s Hospital is going to take excellent care of me.” And to end his speech on a humorous note, he added, “It’s now easier for me to stay active….I play golf and I am very good at it.” More than 1,200 children are currently being treated for Type 1 diabetes by Kosair Children’s Hospital and the University of Louisville Pediatric Endocrinology multidisciplinary team. Approximately 150 more children are diagnosed each year, of whom nearly 50 percent require hospitalization in the “Just for Kids” Critical Care Center.

Guests spent the rest of the evening chatting over a five-course gourmet meal and proceeded to take matters to the dance floor to the music of Galaxy. Presented

by Republic Bank, The Snow Ball is part of the Festival of Trees and Lights. For further information, visit HelpKosairChildrensHospital.com.

Light Up CenterStage Opening Minds One Act at a Time

T

o start off the night, guests of the 9th annual Light Up CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center ventured down the yellow, pink and magenta tinted hallway to a tent filled with sparkling chandeliers, 150+ silent auction items and cocktails by sponsor Heaven Hill. A dessert bar with everything from cake to macaroons waited in the lobby between venues, as guests moved from the tent to the Linker Auditorium for a performance of popular Broadway show tunes and the live auction.

Having been with CenterStage for over 14 years, Artistic Director John Leffert has played a pivotal role in helping to grow the organization from offering only three shows per season to producing a seven-show mainstage season, in addition to CenterStage’s other programming including musicals with youth performers and a professional touring children’s theatre company. “I would like to thank the Jewish Community of Louisville for maintaining a community theatre in a time of cutbacks and financial restraints,” he said gratefully. “CenterStage is my hobby, my career, my exercise, and my creative outlet.”

CenterStage’s Development and Outreach Manager Lenae Price went on to share, “The funds raised tonight allow CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center to continue its work ‘Opening Minds One Act at a Time’ through arts education programming and the production of quality, thought-provoking musicals. We are so fortunate to have such an incredible group of volunteers, sponsors, and donors.” With sponsors including Hilliard Lyons, Friends of Cancer Survivors, Highland Cleaners, Power2Give Matching Donors, PrintWorx, ABCsignup.com, Eventualities, and J Michael’s Salon & Spa, the evening was their most successful fundraiser to date! For more information on CenterStage at the Jewish Community Center and their upcoming production of Best Little Whorehouse in Texas opening January 9, 2014 visit www.jewishlouisville.org.

BEST PARTIES 2013 Best Entertainment

Diversity Soirée & Awards Gala Louisville Urban League

With entertainment including Hispanic dancers Arcoris Latino, belly dancing by Al Hamsa, performances by 2nd Chance and Cosa Seria, and an inspiring group number by more than forty Phillis Wheatley Elementary School students – the Louisville Urban League’s Diversity Soirée and Awards Gala didn’t miss a beat when it came to keeping guests enthused about the progress that has been made to “fix our fractured world.”

Our 2nd annual “Best Of ” feature celebrates ten events that encapsulate Abraham Lincoln’s statement, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” From the entertainment to the fare and décor, these events proved to be both memorable and exhilarating – ones we look forward to with fervent anticipation in 2014. With old favorites and newcomers scheduled for Louisville’s social scene over the next twelve months… the choice comes down to quality over quantity and what will positively impact our lives in the upcoming year. With that being said – lets start our second Nretrospective dalliance through the past twelve months of galas, feasts and cocktail parties ~ Cheers to another fantastic year Louisville!

Best Derby Party

21c Derby Party 21c Museum Hotel

It wasn’t just the Cirque du Soleil inspired acrobatics or the presence of Adam and Eve in Paradise that made the 21c Museum Hotel Derby Party a hit. It was the euphoric feeling created by the international crowd gathered in celebration of everything equine – from art to racing – and the thrill of a winning bid on Derby day at Churchill Downs.

Lobster Feast Actors Theatre of Louisville

Lobster Feast transported guests to Sunny, Sassy South Beach to party the night away with Gianni and Donatella Versace, and a few hundred costume clad guests — including a flock of flamingos, the Golden Girls, and Nip/Tuck Doctors McNamara and Troy — while dining on fresh lobster and sipping Herradura margaritas … all while raising over $316,000 for Actors Theatre of Louisville!

Best Costume

Masquerade of Fire and Ice Pandora Productions The costumes were the star of the show at Pandora’s Masquerade, with guests adorned in elaborate masks made of feathers, glitter, gold-leaf and more. The atmosphere of fire and ice further enhanced the mystery of the masquerade, along with performances by Robbie Bartlett and RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant Penny Tration. Costume-clad drag queens, community leaders and small business owners all gathered for a night spent mingling in disguise.

Best Tasting

Signature Chefs Auction March of Dimes

Best Décor/ Ambiance

Big Hush

Over 25 of Louisville’s top chefs participated in March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction – dishing up everything from grits topped with Asian bacon, crab and shrimp salad to seared scallops with bacon marmalade or a Woodford Reserve demi glacé. With so many fantastic chefs crafting such exquisite dishes – this foodie event continues to tantalize taste buds – all in support of healthy babies.

Speed Art Museum From the secrecy of the location to the “speak-easy” atmosphere – the Speed Museum’s Big Hush at the Land of Tomorrow gallery at Third and Broadway brought a slew of characters in attire that would make even the Great Gatsby jealous.

From the dimly lit corridors housing roulette and poker tables to the hand-shaken bourbon or moonshine cocktails – the ambiance of the evening transformed the gallery into a prohibition hotspot.

From the country themed cocktails to the bluegrass musicians and mechanical bull riding – the party was one alt-black tie event you don’t want to miss in 2014!

Best Attention to Detail

Snow Ball Kosair Charities

With the lobby of the Marriott Downtown transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a welcoming line of sparkling ballerinas from the Louisville Ballet, the Snow Ball created an atmosphere of holiday excitement that wove throughout the evening – from the silver trees dripping with luminescent ornaments to the presentation of the menu and the splendor of the ballroom – no detail was overlooked.

He works smart and he works hard, which is probably why 2013 was the wildest ride of Joey Wagner’s 15-year career. No longer the party promoter affectionately known as “J-Dub,” this 35 year old has gone from DJ to business owner to social media magnate, planning and marketing events for some of the most successful companies and brands in the country. Nfocus took notice this year when he started devoting that event planning prowess toward the nonprofit sector. Now Joey Wagner doesn’t just plan parties, he is helping to change lives.

T

he ground is covered with snow and the city seems to have fallen into a pre-holiday slumber, but Joey Wagner is still conducting business at a rapid-fire pace on the day we meet to discuss his banner year. Between the J Wagner Group and EVENTRIS, companies of which he is owner and partner respectively, one gets the impression that Joey might sleep with one eye open with phone instinctively in hand. He responds to email inquiries immediately, a discipline I observe him practicing during our interview, while he never loses his focus or train of thought with our conversation. Somehow, with all he has going on, the energy never wanes and the ball never seems to drop.

“Every single day I wake up looking forward to what I can do next,” he says with his characteristic energy and enthusiasm.

“The average career of an event planner is not very long because of the demands it puts on your personal life, and I’ve been doing this since I was 18.” His may be the name synonymous with parties in Louisville, but Joey got his party planning start while in college at Morehead State University on a baseball scholarship.

Upon graduation, Director of Athletics Brian Hutchinson gave Joey an opportunity as a graduate assistant so he was able to obtain his Master’s in Sports Administration Marketing while planning and promoting events for the entire athletics depart-

ment. “Right away I loved the idea of planning something from A-Z.” With a client roster that includes Grey Goose Vodka, Bacardi USA, Playboy, MAXIM, Woodford Reserve, Maker’s Mark, Churchill Downs and Brown-Forman, Joey was accustomed to making a lasting impression on clients and sponsors with events that exceeded expectations and always resulted in a good time.

However, in 2008, with the creation of a new event concept called Jocktails, the J Wagner Group began to harness that experience for a good cause by using professional athletes as bartenders for charity. Beginning locally with the Kentucky Derby where jockeys serve drinks to raise money for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, Jocktails now has a presence at the NBA All-Star Weekend, Breeders’ Cup, and the Indianapolis 500. Joey plans to add the PGA Championship to that list of events when it returns to Louisville in 2014. Now in its sixth year, Jocktails has raised over $50,000 for various charities throughout the country.

“I’ve taken my Jocktails concept to major sporting events, but we’re really focusing on professional teams now. The past two years we partnered up with two of my friends on the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills. My friends on those teams were really able to rally their teammates and get support. We had over 30 athletes bartending at each of those events and are able to continued on page 30

make a big impact for their local charity in those cities,” Joey says.

He is currently working to do the same with the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals, and Tennessee Titans in the coming years.

People started to take notice of his inventive strategies and buzz worthy events. This year, he was approached by Susan G. Komen for the Cure Louisville to plan their high profile fundraiser Pink Tie Ball. “We changed the date, the venue, the entire atmosphere, really,” Joey explains of the yearly gala. “The Chair of the event, Natalie Officer, is an interior designer so the décor was just over the top and unforgettable.

We brought on Louisville Slugger as the presenting sponsor and were able to do some really cool things with the baseball ‘Knock It Out’ theme. We got great feedback from that event this year.”

What no one could have foreseen was the tragedy that struck the week following the event.

Volunteer team member Erin Miller was killed in a traffic accident when a dump truck ran a red light and collided with the 30 year old. “Erin was one of Natalie Officer’s staff and one of the busiest and most enthusiastic volunteers for Pink Tie Ball,” Joey shares. “I bonded with her over the planning process and was always so impressed by her work ethic.

When I heard the news, I wanted to do something for her family.” Joey set out to test the power of social media right away by setting a goal to raise $5,000 for Erin’s funeral expenses in 24 hours. Using only Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, his network ended up raising over $13,000 in 24 hours. “I don’t like to ask for things a lot,” Joey confesses. “I’m a giver, but this was important enough to me to ask for help. To see friends who I don’t even talk to anymore donate anywhere from $5 to $100 was very humbling to me. I’m still in touch with Erin’s husband. I can’t imagine losing my wife.”

Pink Tie Ball was not the first successful event Joey executed for Susan G. Komen. In 2012 with his EVENTRIS partner, Jason Brown, he started Pink Prom to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness. “My mom’s best friend, Helen Wiser, died of breast cancer and she was like a second mother to me, so raising money for this cause is a no-brainer,” Joey shares. In its first year, Pink Prom exceeded expectations by raising $12,000. This year, the event hosted 700 people and boasted elite sponsors like Tafel Motors Mercedes-Benz and Dillard’s.

With this proven formula, Joey and EVENTRIS decided to take the concept on the road, hosting Pink Proms in Cincinnati and Lexington. “In 2014, we are taking Pink Prom to two more cities – Indianapolis and Nashville. I really want to concentrate on making it a success in those five cities,” Joey explains. “We donate 100 percent of ticket sales to Komen and in two years have been able to raise $36,000.”

The idea of taking successful event concepts on the road is something at which Joey and EVENTRIS are excelling. Following the massively popular debut of their partnership with Jam Active for GlowGo! 5K in 2013, that event expects to go international in the coming year. “GlowGo! 5K was a night run and walk on the Waterfront and we didn’t really know what to expect in our first year. My partners at Jam Active are used to producing successful runs like the Tap ‘N’ Run, but we wanted to make this more of a party atmosphere, so we were able to bring in internationally renowned DJ Havana Brown and we ended up having 2,000 people and donating almost $5,000 to Susan G. Komen.” This year, in addition to expanding the concept to eight cities in the United States and Central America, GlowGo! 5K will grow locally by partnering with the University of Louisville and Raise Red Dance Marathon to fight pediatric cancer.

Joey’s busy year, not coincidentally, coincides with The Year of the Cardinal, University of Louisville’s wildly successful year in sports. Many fans recognize his face, voice, and high energy as the Master of Ceremonies for the Cardinal men’s basketball home games. His relationship with the University extends back ten years ago when he started helping the UofL Alumni Association promote their events. Reciprocally, they started endorsing and promoting his events which he was careful to plan at a non-conflicting time. The result was some of the most memorable moments off the field and court as the University brought home the Sugar Bowl Championship and the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship. “When UofL went to the Final Four in New Orleans in 2012, I had one week to plan an event and ended up just cold calling a bar on Bourbon Street to see if I could host it there. They were so impressed with the turnout that when we went back to New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl in 2013, they were excited for us to come back and we ended up having to cut the door off at 800 people,” he recalls. In Atlanta for the Final Four, Joey took a different approach.

“Between the Saturday night game and the Monday night Championship game, I wanted to host a day party on Sunday, which is a very popular concept in cities like Miami and Los Angeles. Since there are no real roof top bars in Louisville, I found Whiskey Blue atop The W Hotel in Buckhead and the event sold out almost immediately. We hosted UofL alumni, fans, top executives, and professional athletes; it was probably my most memorable event outside of Derby events.”

Of course during Louisville’s busiest party season, Kentucky Derby, Joey has been known to plan over ten parties in four days. Besides his annual Jocktails event and multiple nights hosting the Grey Goose Lounge, he has expanded his expertise into hospitality or a customized luxury concierge, of sorts. Last year, he created the ultimate Kentucky Derby experience for a YPO group from Southern California that was comprised of 40 young CEOs and wealthy businessmen. He rented the Kentucky Briar Rose Estate for their stay where they were greeted with Mint Juleps and a personal cigar roller. Handicapper Kevin McFarland taught them how to wager and presented them with programs that were highlighted for ease.

Friday night included an elaborate southern-style barbecue and bourbon tasting and each morning prior to limousine transportation to their suite at the track, their personal chef for the weekend provided a decadent breakfast culminating Sunday morning, on Cinco de Mayo, with a Mexican themed send off before departing the Bluegrass State with what is sure to be the fondest memories…of those that can be recalled.

Joey assures that no matter how big his companies get or how elaborate the events he plans, his wife Nikki and their two children Jaden, 6, and Chloe, 4, remain his top priority. “If my children have a school function, a dance recital, or a game, that becomes the most important thing to me,” he says. In fact, being a family man has inspired him to get even more involved with nonprofit fundraising. “We are starting to do more events for FEAT (Families for Effective Autism Treatment) and I am helping them with their annual gala and 5K this year. I feel so lucky to have two healthy children and it encourages me to work with organizations like FEAT. My children are my motivation. I work hard to provide for them.”

This drive to succeed, to achieve the highest standard at any cost, is what makes Joey’s work so appealing to his clients. When asked what is the secret to his success, he says, “Stay humble, stay loyal, and work hard.” That formula is why, when discussing the best parties of 2013, Joey Wagner is at the top of the list.

“Stay humble, stay loyal, and work hard.”

recently had the opportunity to catch up with long time Louisville restaurateur Majid Ghavami and talk with him about the business and where he is going with Majid’s, his St. Matthews modern American eatery. It had been a couple of years since we last spoke and the location recently celebrated their fourth anniversary last month and continues to evolve. Its niche seems to hinge on its lounge and bringing old school dining and entertainment to the St. Matthews dining scene.

In a town with so many choices, what is the angle you have been taking with Majid’s to differentiate yourselves?

@bladessalonspa

Quality of service and hospitality is the main thing I emphasize.

However, our lounge area really sets us apart from most Louisville locations. As you know we have a very large lounge area that is separate from the dining rooms so that it really is its own unique space. We also have a very nice private dining area that can comfortably accommodate ten to sixty guests equally well and has its own facilities and bar.

I do love your unique lounge area.

It’s easily accessible but delineated from the dining area as if to provide a separate experience.

We had our professional clientele in mind when building out the lounge concept. I envisioned an open inviting space that is comfortable and relaxing while offering excellent accommodations including a full menu. It’s very much a neighborhood place in the style of a classic old style club where patrons know they can go after work to enjoy quality entertainment with their dinner and drink.

Speaking of entertainment, I understand you have been expanding on that.

Yes, we are very proud to feature live entertainment nightly from local artists like Tanita Gains and Bobby J. You never need to guess if we will be having live entertainment on any given night. You can always be assured of excellent service and a relaxing show.

How has the food you serve evolved over the past four years?

We are increasingly becoming more classic continental, serving the best dishes from continental Europe and the Mediterranean. We are very in tune to our guests’ preferences as we slowly move dishes through our menu. I’m not very interested in driving a complex, thirty plus ingredient menu that constantly changes. There are plenty of places in Louisville that offer that. I am much more focused on finding the classics our guests enjoy and perfecting them. The Braised Lamb Shank we are featuring for the recipe is a perfect example, a classic comfort dish with warm continental flavors and a turmeric rub to simply enhance the natural savory.

You mentioned service and I know it is something you are passionate about.

Can you tell me a little more?

It all comes down to guest recognition and pampering. I drive for Majid’s to be first and foremost a hospitality-driven establishment.

As my mentor Vincenzo taught me, take care of the people, and the people take care of the numbers. It’s all about the people. We are not just in the food industry, it is a people business.

uLu I love you. In the last three years, development and commerce within a few blocks between 600 and 800 East Market revolutionized the city. I frequent you almost daily. But, it seems like it’s time to broaden our horizons and extend our vision to other parts of the city we call Possibility so that the love we’ve shown you we can now extend to others.

The corridor between Baxter and Jefferson. The entry from Barret to Broadway. The intersection of Payne and Lexington. Vacant stores on Bardstown Road with landlords who want to command the same rent they did when it was “the” place to go, but whose shoppers diverted to St. Matthews and Nulu several years ago and left us holding the hookah pipe.

Zach Fry, a real estate agent and broker at Keller Williams, thinks the Phoenix Hill neighborhood at Broadway and Baxter is ripe for new life, for example. Fry, whose eyes are ever pealed for great deals said “I always think it’s good to buy in the path of what’s happening and being at the intersection of Irish Hill, Butchertown, Nulu and the Highlands will be beneficial to those with vision!”

Similarly, Red Hot Roasters owner Sondra Powell said it doesn’t make sense that investors haven’t looked to her incredibly high volume drive through spot at the intersection of Lexington and Payne. Adjacent to a convenience store, close to Headliners, a brisk walk from Bardstown Road on one end and a fun bike ride to Frankfort Avenue on the other, the area seems prime for restaurants and retail. Business is lucrative enough at the little orange building of caffeine heaven, Powell’s bought a new roaster that will double her coffee capacity.

Broadway, a street I drove down almost daily for twelve years is overdue for a renaissance. With the addition of Wiltshire Pantry’s Bakery on Barrett where Joe Davola’s was, development further down Barrett toward East Broadway seems like it could happen any moment. Andrea Glass is symbol of starting over with Boston’s Floral Couture housed now on East Broadway. She may be small but she is not shy about her belief that it could be the next big thing. Again.

Our greatest asset is the people who choose to live and work here.

Payal Parekh, a photographer and textile designer in Louisville by way of New York and Mumbai, said of Louisville, “Everybody has something to offer. Everybody is so genuine. It’s a very different feeling here, one feels instantly at home.” Parekh, the owner of K & N prints, a textile design company with her father, is designing patterns for scarves the first time this spring. She and her husband, Geoff Bugbee, are symbolic of the “new” Louisville and the even greater need for parks and trees and open spaces and places to meet other young people in the creative class who, despite their world travels, appreciate simplicity and history. Parekh said she believes in “simple gestures to add local brands and young activity groups that mix social and business everything together,” as she had a tough time meeting her Gen Y age group here and figuring out where to go.

Like the new scarf designs she’ll make this spring that evoke her father’s design since the 60s, many small business owners hope the city and private investors can follow suit to revitalize old streets and corridors, all the while being mindful of the people and businesses that have thrived there for a multitude of years.

tarted by Charles Wheeler in 1973, Tattoo Charlie’s has been a family-run business and an active participant in the Louisville community for over 40 years. Charles’ son, Buddy, who now operates the business, explained that he was “born and raised in Louisville. I moved away for a short while but have always felt this is home. Louisville is an amazing city.” A member of the Louisville Independent Business Association (LIBA), Tattoo Charlie’s has locations on Preston and Dixie Highway, and one in Lexington, KY. “As a small business owner I know the value of shopping local and I always try to spend my money as locally as I can,” shared Buddy.

“With this years fundraiser, we’ve raised over $17,000 for Meghan’s Mountain,” said Buddy. “This is our third year doing the Meghan’s Mountain fundraiser, before this we’ve never had an annual one. We’ve always donated gift certificates to charity fundraisers in the past years though. Giving to the community was something my dad did a lot of and he instilled that value in me as well.” In addition to raising money for Meghan’s Mountain and donating items for charity fundraisers,

Tattoo Charlie’s third annual Tattoos Against Cancer raised over $17,000 for Meghan’s Mountain.

On Monday, December 2, Tattoo Charlie’s third annual Tattoos Against Cancer benefited Meghan’s Mountain, an organization that donates funds for medical care directly to cancer patients and their family members.

The idea for Meghan’s Mountain Charitable Foundation stemmed from 22-year-old Sarah “Meghan” Steinberg’s experience battling Leukemia in 2005, and the first-hand knowledge of the challenges cancer presents to individuals and their families. Throughout the day, just at the Preston Highway location, Buddy reported that 116 people received ribbon tattoos for a minimum donation of $20.

Tattoo Charlie’s also participated in Ink4Autism in the spring that raised $500 for Autism Speaks. “Between all three studios there are 22 artists and piercers,” Buddy went on to explain.

“All of them donate their time to personal causes they feel strongly about.

One of my piercers, Darlene, is very involved with Toys For Tots.”

Along with their belief in shopping local and giving back to the community, Tattoo Charlie’s prides itself on offering a professional, high-quality and personalized experience to customers. “Tattoos are for life,” said Buddy. “Make sure you get the best one you can.” In addition, they offer a variety of piercings and have tattoo artists who are licensed and insured to do cosmetic tattooing.

“Each student completes 675 hours of community service over the course of the year. We work with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Project Warm, and the Network Center for Community Change to give back to the community.”

’d driven up Preston Street, between Broadway and Kentucky dozens of times, but until recently was unaware that the area was called Smoketown and that YouthBuild Louisville sits proudly on the corner of Preston and College – offering programming and training designed to help young adults realize their potential through five focus areas: education, career vocational training, community service, social services and career development and placement. Started in the 1970s in Harlem, New York, by a young social worker named Dorothy Stoneman, YouthBuild now has 273 programs in 46 states across the nation.

“We take a caring and responsible approach to ensure that all young

The organization started in two classrooms at Jefferson Community and Technical School before moving in 2010 to the green campus in Smoketown. The new campus includes a construction shop, garden and orchard, indoor and outdoor classrooms, a playground and more. “We have served over 400 young people over the past 13 years and they are now leaders and business owners in the community,” explained YouthBuild’s Civic Engagement & Service Coordinator Rebecca Katz.

“We are investing in their future and the results will be exponentially greater,” said Rippy. “Currently, for every dollar invested in a YouthBuild student,

Not only does YouthBuild encourage community service, but they also work to remove barriers for their graduates. “We work to place every student in a job, college, or the military after graduation,” Katz explained. “Our staff follows up with students for at least two years after they graduate to ensure their placement is appropriate and they are getting the resources they need.”

From building playhouses for Kosair Kids in partnership with the Home Builders Association to offering a Certified Nursing Assistant training program in January 2014 and an Environmental Education Program Fall 2014, YouthBuild continues to thrive and expand while working on Phase II of their capital campaign. “YouthBuild does an absolutely excellent job of filling in the gaps so that our young people are totally equipped to be successful when they leave,” said Katz. “When students describe YouthBuild, they often say it is their second home.” youthbuildlouisville.org JOSH MILLER

The Tradition of YWC’s Charity Ball

Circa 1968

O

n February 8, 2014, at the Foundry at Glassworks, the Younger Woman’s Club of Louisville will carry on the longstanding tradition of their Charity Ball, such as the 1968 “Wonderland” Ball pictured above. A lot has changed about the event through the years but YWC’s commitment to community remains the same. For over 80 years, YWC has promoted civic engagement among young women in Louisville while raising more than $3.5 million for nonprofit organizations in the community. In 1968, the Ball raised $21,000 that was, in turn, donated to Louisville General Hospital, American Red Cross, and University of Louisville scholarships. This year, Ball Co-Chairs Sarah Mitchell and Elizabeth Scott hope to do the same with the soiree scheduled for February 8 at The Foundry at Glassworks. Doors will open at 8 p.m. with heavy hors d’oeuvres, an open bar and musical entertainment by Kudmani.

Dawn Gee will be honored as this year’s Citizen Laureate. Tickets can be purchased for $75 or VIP tickets with exclusive seating can be purchased for $1250 per table of 10 at ywclouisville.org.

Pictured above, at the 15th annual YWC Charity Ball, 225 members turned Freedom Hall into a “Wonderland” for 2,000 guests. In those days, a great deal of planning went into the elaborate sets and décor alone. According to an article from The Courier Journal that year, 6-foot bunnies, paper butterflies and a large backdrop were hand painted in members’ basements. Then, two weeks leading up to the event were spent decorating Freedom hall and assembling the backdrops. The article quotes chairman Mary Lu Daeuble, noted by the other members for her continued calm: “I don’t see any point in being nervous and all upset. This was something I wanted to do and would recommend to fellow members. You learn so many things that a housewife wouldn’t ordinarily.”
