Planning Is Essential—Do You Have a Plan? Everyone should attend this seminar, even if you have a will or a trust.

Learn how to appoint someone to make healthcare and financial decisions for you when you are unable to do so. If you do not, a court may decide for you. Why a will is not enough. Why many people with living trusts will end up in probate. Learn how to avoid it. If you have your plans finalized, find out what may have changed, needs updating, or is still applicable in Arizona. Guests will have an opportunity for questions after the seminar with Attorney Richard M. Dwornik. Presented by Dwornik Law Firm. Must RSVP to reserve your seat. Limited Seating.

TAD Management presents Candle In The Wind – the Elton John Experience
Tuesday, Oct. 18, Ballroom, 7 p.m.
National touring tribute artist, Candle In The Wind, The Elton John Experience, performs the ultimate tribute to the music of Elton and his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. The band spotlights Elton and Bernie’s earlier classic years songs, but also touches on the selections from later eras. Jeff Burkett, as Sir Elton John, brings a truly authentic portrayal of the iconic artist and his music to the stage, as well as an uncanny resemblance to Elton himself. As a fan of Elton’s music since the early age of 12, Jeff aspired to become a successful singer/pianist/songwriter after hearing Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album. It remains his favorite to this day. “The music is absolutely incredible. But it is also the heartfelt, often surreal imagery of Taupin’s lyrics set to Elton’s unique piano and vocal stylings that tell these amazing stories best,” Jeff explains. “My and the band’s mission is to thoroughly recreate the Elton John concert experience to the level or degree that after the show, fans truly feel as if they just saw Elton himself perform.” Tickets are available at the HOA office for $20 per person.

TAD Management presents Prince Again: A Tribute to Prince
Tuesday, Nov. 15, Ballroom, 7 p.m.
It doesn’t get more legendary than the music of Prince. When the iconic performer passed in 2016, the world mourned the loss of the multi-instrumentalist savant who was well ahead of his time musically. Whether you were a fan of Prince’s irrevocable style or only discovered his catalog after his passing, Prince Again is a show for all to enjoy. Prince’s hits smashed the Billboard Charts and created memories for generations. After all, Prince penned arguably some of the best songs in music history, with tracks such as “Little Red Corvette,” “1999,” “Kiss,” “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” and the iconic “Purple Rain.” With no doubt that Prince Again will pay homage in a party fashion, audiences are guaranteed to be on their feet from start to finish. Fans will revisit and keep those purple memories alive, along with creating new ones in deference to the Prince.
