y 55 years old, Peggy Hawkins
imagined she’d be carefree in her
golden years. Then, life happened. Her
daughter, Krystal, was in a car accident and
soon became addicted to her prescribed
pain medication. Unfortunately, her
addiction escalated. “Before the accident,
Krystal was a wonderful mother. Now
she’s not able to care for her children,” says
Hawkins.
Two years ago Child Protective
Services (CPS) brought Peggy’s
grandchildren, Jesus, now 14, and
Alejandra, now 8, to her home. Peggy was
overwhelmed with the responsibility of
raising her grandchildren. Thankfully, CPS

we are in a “sweet spot” to have so many
people with experience, and with time
remaining to do something about it! You
can view Marc’s inspiring talk at: www.
pipertrust.org/encore/awardees.
I challenge myself and all readers to
ponder, “How can I best live my legacy?”
Duet, I hope, will be part of our answers.
Duet offers an abundance of meaningful
service and giving opportunities.
Donations may be made throughout the
year, or action may be taken now for future
support by naming Duet in your planned
giving. Volunteer projects may be short- or
long-term, and may be tailored to your
skills. Please call me at (602) 274-5022
to discuss ways you may wish to begin, or
deepen, your involvement.
You will see the theme of ‘living your
legacy’ woven throughout this issue. I am
deeply grateful to the many people who
already live their legacy by sharing time
and financial gifts through Duet. These
caring friends define ‘social impact’ by
helping thousands of people receive
urgently needed health and aging services.
To all of our partners in service, I thank
you!
referred her to Duet where she learned
about our services for grandparents raising
grandchildren. Peggy’s first interaction
with Duet was through Patricia Dominguez,
Director of Kinship Care Services who
offered guidance, information and help
getting beds, bedding and accessories to
personalize the children’s new rooms.
Krystal is only present in Jesus’ and
Alejandra’s lives periodically, but the
children are flourishing in the care of their
grandmother. Peggy keeps the children
busy and they attend every event that
Duet offers. “The events and activities
contribute to the children’s socialization,
and have inspired Jesus’ interest in theater,”
says Peggy. Today, Alejandra, who came to
Peggy reading just three words per minute,
is an honors student reading at a third
grade level. Jesus is active in Boy Scouts,
karate and theater.
“Duet is wonderful to us. I recommend
them to anyone I know in a similar situation,”
says Peggy. Raising grandchildren can be
challenging, but Peggy knows her loving
care will leave a lasting legacy.
Grandfamily members Peggy Hawkins, Alejandra,
and Jesus thrive through Duet’s support.

Tour de Paradise:
Celebrating A Decade of
Riding
T
hrough the vision and hard work
of Brian Shea, Tour de Paradise
founder, as well as Sherri Shea and the
entire planning committee, the ride has
generated nearly $100,000 in the past 10
years for Duet.
Duet’s 10th Annual Tour de Paradise
raised $20,286 thanks to riders and
sponsors alike. On October 20, more than
120 bicyclists participated on three routes
during a perfect weather day. Nearly
100 volunteers made this ride possible
- serving on committees, helping with
registration and set-up, assisting riders
along the routes with water stops and
more. Riders departed from Moon Valley
Park and enjoyed various ride lengths
winter of 2013
throughout the city. Upon completing
their ride, bicyclists were treated with
T-shirts, goodie bags, prizes and lunch
to celebrate the day’s success. Samuel
Kelsall IV was the day’s top fundraiser,
bringing in $2,491 to support Duet’s free
services throughout the Valley. Thank
you to all who participated in the 10th
Anniversary of the Tour de Paradise!

Duet Creates Partnerships
and Friendships
by ashley mcculley
communications intern
T
oby Lee Spiegel, 70, first reached out
to Duet seeking transportation to the
grocery store after a friend who had been
taking her moved away. “I have trouble
because I don’t drive. I was born with
multiple vision problems. You don’t want
me driving around, trust me,” says Spiegel.
Of her quest for a volunteer, Spiegel says
she got lucky. “I got a volunteer almost
immediately.”
Her volunteer, Darlene Cobb, 72, has
been with Duet for nearly eight years
and helps multiple neighbors. Not long
duet: partners in health & aging
after Spiegel contacted Duet, Cobb
also called Duet to find out if there was
someone else she could help. What
started as a beneficial partnership has
since blossomed into an easy friendship.
“We email back and forth and talk on the
phone. We’ve become close friends. It’s
a unique experience for me and I enjoy
the Mondays … because I love to be with
Darlene. She’s a sweetheart,” says Spiegel.
Cobb notes it isn’t just the neighbors
who benefit from the partnerships
orchestrated by Duet. “Sure, it’s helping
someone else, but then we, as volunteers,
learn so much, too. To me this reflects the
golden rule: If we all treat one another like
we wanted to be treated, just think about
how great the world would be,” says Cobb.
Through generous supporters who
give of their time and resources, Duet is
able to connect neighbors with volunteers
who are able to help fill out paperwork,
pay friendly visits and phone calls, provide
rides to medical appointments, offer
respite, train in computer use, help with
grocery shopping and even small home
repairs -- always, free-of-charge.

commitment to Duet was evident through
their generous planning.
Anita Silverthorn discovered Duet 18
years ago during her husband’s long illness.
“Your caregiver support group gave me

someone to talk to.” After her husband’s
passing, she began volunteering through
Duet. When she herself needed help, Duet
paired Anita with caring volunteers who
provided computer training plus rides to
grocery stores and medical appointments
(thank you Nancy, David and Della!). Anita
previously shared, “I chose to include Duet
in my estate plan because
they have been so good to
me and to everybody who
needs help. I like knowing
my support will continue
helping others.”
We are truly grateful
to these caring, proactive
people. Each gift, from
modest to large, was
given with a big heart and
each was received with
reverence. Please consider
Duet as you create your
own personal legacy. Your
foresight will provide help
to people in perpetuity,
while demonstrating your
values to your family and
loved ones.

Poinsettia Tea Serves the
Perfect Cup of Holiday Cheer
T
he 22nd Annual Poinsettia Tea was a
great success thanks to the nearly 500
supporters who gathered on December 9,
at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale at Gainey
Ranch. The afternoon was filled with
delicious teas, scones, tea sandwiches,
desserts and the company of friends. This
popular holiday season event netted more
than $113,000 for Duet’s free-of-charge
services offered to older adults and their
families as they face challenges related
to aging.
“We are absolutely thrilled and
overwhelmed by the generosity of our
community and so pleased to break the
six-figure mark for a third time,” said
Elizabeth Banta, Executive Director for
Duet. “On behalf of all the older adults
and families who will receive services
because of these donations, we are
sincerely thankful.”
Long time Duet supporters Dr. Pauline
Komnenich and Norman McClelland
provided a $25,000 “challenge gift” and
Pauline Finney, Poinsettia Tea committee
member, announced she would provide
an additional $20,000 match for firsttime donors’ gifts. Inspired by these
“challenge gifts” that would match up to
$45,000, attendees contributed more
than $45,000 during a live “request for
donations.” Additional dollars were raised
through sponsorships, underwriting,
ticket sales and a drawing.
“I served on the Board for over 15
years and am truly committed to Duet
because it stands for care, commitment
and building special community
relationships,” said Komnenich. “It was
through the sixteen year experience of
caregiving for my father that I became
interested and dedicated to family
caregiving of older adults in the home.”
Also during the Tea, Duet presented
its prestigious Jeff Dennis Community
Vision Award to American Express.
The award was accepted by Christa
Burkhalter, Director of Corporate Affairs
and Communications. This award is
presented annually to an organization
winter of 2013
that brings Duet’s mission to life through
stellar leadership.
Destry Jetton, Channel 12’s Arizona
Midday host, served as mistress of
ceremonies. Guests were treated to
an outstanding performance by the
Audacity Quartet. Proceeds from the Tea
will be “poured” into Duet’s one-on-one
services that are provided free-of-charge
to people in need.

Aging with Dignity – Five
Wishes Workshop
D
uet is opening the door on one of the
greatest taboo topics in America…
serious illness and death. Many people
behave as though they will be forever
young and healthy. At some point
reality intrudes and a spouse, parent or
grandparent suddenly falls seriously ill
and can’t make or communicate life-anddeath medical decisions for themselves.
Instead of the calm quiet of a living room,
family members must hurriedly gather in
the hospital waiting room and decide what
the seriously ill or dying person would or
wouldn’t have wanted. They have reached
the point when the discussion can no
longer be delayed because a healthcare
provider needs an immediate decision.
Duet is pleased to announce that it
will host a Five Wishes advance directives
workshop to all Duet supporters,
volunteers and neighbors free-of-charge.
Five Wishes is an easy-to-use tool that
helps you, and those close to you, plan the
kind of care you want to receive should
you become seriously ill.
Five Wishes lets your family and doctors
know:
• Who you want to make health care
decisions for you when you can’t make
them.
• The kind of medical treatment you want
or don’t want.
• How comfortable you want to be.
• How you want people to treat you.
• What you want your loved ones to know.
Five Wishes is written in everyday
language and helps start and structure
important conversations about care
in times of serious illness. Duet will
offer two sessions of the Five Wishes
workshop. When reserving your spot,
please indicate the date that works best
for you. Reservations are required; call
Duet at (602) 274-5022.

Faith Community Nursing:
Healing The “Whole” Person
by rachel ray
communications intern
F
aith community nurses are registered
nurses specially certified to be
health educators, counselors, advocates,
volunteer coordinators, facilitators of
support groups and more within their
faith communities. Duet is a resource for
faith communities and nurses who want to
create health programs to help the “whole
person” in mind, body and spirit.
Helen Harrison, 81, was actively
involved in bringing faith community
nursing to her church, Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church. However, she never
expected to be asked to serve as their
nurse for six years. “[Duet was] a big help
when we were trying to set up a program,”
says Harrison. “We had no idea what we
had to do and how to do it. I don’t know
that we could have done it without them.”
Helen recently retired after many
years of faithful service. We celebrate

With the support of Season for
Sharing, Duet provides compassionate
care to hundreds of seniors and adults
with disabilities who cannot drive. In
addition to the wonderful financial
support and publicity, Season for Sharing
launched a Facebook voting campaign
which gave away an additional $7,500,
$5,000 and $1,000 to three
charities who received the
most votes throughout
December 2012. Duet was one
of the 10 charities selected for
this special voting campaign.
We were delighted to come in
third place and will receive an
extra $1,000!
