Children’s Heart Foundation to Host 10th Annual Camp Mend-a-Heart

Jul 8, 2014   //   by Meghan Pescio   //   Community News  //  No Comments

Children’s Heart Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for Nevada children with heart problems, hosts their 10th Annual Camp Mend-a-Heart Thursday, August 14 through Sunday, August 17 at Torino Ranch in Southern Nevada. The camp offers children who are born with or have developed heart problems the opportunity to forge relationships, attain hope and build memories.

Camp Mend-a-Heart is a cost-free, medically supervised camp for children ages 7-18 living in Nevada who are born with or have developed a heart condition. Camp Mend-a-Heart gives children a traditional summer camp experience with sports, arts & crafts, water games and many other recreational activities and programs. Camp Mend-a-Heart is staffed by volunteer counselors, nurses and physicians who give from their hearts to help these extraordinary children. Many of our counselors are past campers who have grown out of the age cap, but still want to participate in the camp experience.

Camp Mend-a-Heart was founded by Lyn Acebo, a concerned heart parent and board member of Children’s Heart Foundation. She wanted to send her daughter to heart camp, but was concerned about sending her to a location outside of Nevada due to the fragile state of her heart condition.  Acebo saw the importance of having her child bond with other heart kids located within their community, allowing them to establish a network of support and understanding. After bringing other concerned parents and doctors together, Camp Mend-a-Heart was born.

Distill Opens Second Location in Southern Highlands

Jul 8, 2014   //   by Meghan Pescio   //   Community News  //  No Comments

Residents in the south can enjoy the fun of the popular Summerlin hangout Distill in their very own neighborhood when it opens its second location on Saturday, July 19 in Southern Highlands. Guests of Distill will be treated to the same fun atmosphere, house-made cocktails, handcrafted food and VIP gaming club that makes Distill a popular local hangout and the perfect place to get together with old friends or meet new ones. A ‘Home Away from Home,’ the new Distill location will be located at 4830 W. Pyle Ave. in the popular Southern Highlands area, off of Decatur Blvd., just south of Silverado Ranch Blvd.

The new Distill location in Southern Highlands is the latest creation from the owners of Remedy’s Tavern and Elixir, and the third addition to their popular restaurant portfolio in the last year alone. The successful expansion is due the philosophy of winning over guests with modern, yet intimate atmospheres; friendly and knowledgeable staff members on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week; comfortably priced artisan cocktails and delicious culinary twists on classic tavern fare.  The Southern Highlands location will also boast a non-smoking dining area open to diners of all ages.

Guests will be able to choose from a variety of specialty cocktails including house-infused coffee whiskey and orange cinnamon whiskey; the Distiller’s Delight with Buellit Whiskey, Cointreau, fresh lemon, Sprite and orange bitters; or the Distilled Margarita with Casa Noble Blanco Tequila shaken with agave nectar and fresh lemon and lime. Distill also features an extensive wine list and a variety of imported or domestic draught or bottled beer. Patrons can also satisfy any craving with a classic, fresh menu available 24 hours a day including house-made Avocado Eggrolls and Mashed Potato Bites; fresh burgers and wraps, including vegetarian options; “Not Round Pizzas” including calzones and strombolis; and classic dishes like Beef Tenderloin Tips and Roasted Bourbon Barbeque Chicken. With two Happy Hour food and drink specials a day from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. – 6 a.m., Distill will hit the spot with prices designed for total enjoyment.

For the gaming aficionados, Distill will be home to 15 brand-new 20” LCD gaming machines carrying more than 55 poker, blackjack, slot and keno games providing the perfect place to kick back and play. By joining the VIP Gaming Club, players will enjoy slot promotions, exclusive parties, scratch cards and $10,000 lotto bucks every hour.

If catching all the action of the most popular sports teams while sitting in a cozy king-size chair is a necessity,  Distill will be the neighborhood’s ‘front-row’ destination and with 18 high-definition televisions. If chalking up the cues and racking up for a game of nine-ball, striking down some pins or “hitting the links” are top priorities Distill will feature two pool tables, Silver Strike Bowling and Golden Tee Golf.  

Similar to the Summerlin location, Distill will feature a state-of-the-art juke box with access to thousands of songs that is easily accessed through smart phones to supply the soundtrack to any occasion.  Scheduled events, promotions and specials will delight all Distill patrons.

Both Distill locations are part the new frequent dining loyalty program, RED Loyalty, joining sister properties Remedy’s Tavern and Elixir – a Local Lounge.  The Red Loyalty program gives guests the opportunity to earn points on dollars spent for dining.  Patrons receive one point for every dollar spent on qualifying purchases including all dining, gift cards and gifts when checking out with their loyalty card.  Enrollment is free and available at any location.  Points can be used for discounts on dining, gear and gift and for exclusive destination dining invitations.  All RED Loyalty participants receive $10 upon online registration, birthday rewards, online access, email notifications and members-only offers and promotions.  Offers are subject to change.  

For more information on Distill, please visit www.distillbar.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/distilllocalbar. **Distill is a 21 or older establishment in the bar area; all ages in the non-smoking dining room. Guests must provide valid ID.**

 

Native Advertising

Jul 7, 2014   //   by Meghan Pescio   //   For Advertisers  //  No Comments

Let’s be honest here. Raise your hand if you know what Native Advertising means and how it’s used for marketing?

If your hand is still resting on your keyboard, you’re not alone. A recent survey by Copy Blogger found you’re among 49% of respondents (over 2,000 people took the survey) who, literally, had no idea what Native Advertising entails and how it’s used. In a world that mixes Tweets and “Likes” with more traditional forms of advertising and marketing, it’s admittedly hard to keep up with it all.

While Native Advertising may not be for everyone, wouldn’t you like to know more about it, in case it makes sense as a marketing tactic for your business? We found this great article that gives a simple, understandable breakdown of Native Advertising and it’s many uses: http://www.copyblogger.com/examples-of-native-ads/.

We hope it is helpful for you!

See you around the neighborhood,

Greg
