Proudly serving the Carefree Cave Creek Community Since 1965
Straight from the Director
What Has The Chamber Been Doing?
Shopping Local
Over $31,000 has been spent with local businesses over the past year which includes our monthly Business Breakfast, monthly Power Lunch, annual Golf Tournament, annual Business Expo, etc. When you think about office supplies, signage, cash mobs and other monies that were spent in our remodel t
hat number climbs to over $50,000. Then take a minute to think about the money that all 285 or our Chamber members spend in the community for their own business and personal expenses. The numbers can add up fast! The point of the conversation is "Buy Local, or Bye Bye Local!"

Hospice of the Valley has developed community resources that provide a safety net for employees who are living with a chronic illness or caring for an ill loved one.
The need for support is documented in studies reporting that more than 65 million people - nearly a third of the United States population provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year devoting an average of 20 hours per week. As a result, loss of productivity to American businesses could be as much as $34 billion a year.

Desert Foothills Theater presents the high-energy "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" Nov. 15 - 24
Before there was Jesus Christ Superstar, before there was Cats, before there was Phantom of the Opera, there was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat -Andrew Lloyd Webber's first certified mega-hit. Desert Foothills Theater (DFT), a division of the Foothills Community Foundation, is bringing this high-energy musical to the north Valley with a special production running Fri., Nov. 15 through Sun., Nov. 24 on the main stage of Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center, 33606 N. 60th Street, in North Scottsdale.
Directed by Darrell Spencer with musical direction by Daniel Kurek (original lyrics are by Tim Rice), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat tells the biblical story of Joseph, who is loved by his father, despised by his brothers, sold into slavery and given up for dead...and that's just in the first 10 minutes of the show.

Cave Creek Mining Days
"Cave Creek Mining Days"
Sunday, Nov. 10 -16
A week-long celebration commemorating the restoration of Cave Creek Museum's historic "Golden Reef" Stamp Mill that dates back to 1880 and will be the only operational 10-Stamp Mill in the state (and the only Stamp Mill in Maricopa County). Check www.cavecreekmuseum.org for a full list of events.
Large and heavy stamp mills were used in the late 1800s and through the 1920s to crush hard rock ore so that the gold could be separated and saved. At one time, many such mills were reported to exist in the Cave Creek Mining District.The Museum's "Golden Reef Mine Stamp Mill" was declared to be an Arizona State Historic Property by Arizona State Parks in 1986. The Museum is particularly pleased to showcase this 10-Stamp Mill that came from its own mining district and was originally located on Continental Mountain.
Located at 6140 Skyline Drive, Cave Creek Museum features an extensive collection of prehistoric and historic artifacts that describe the lives of Native Americans, miners, ranchers and pioneers. The Museum hours are Wed., Thurs., Sat. and Sun. from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Fri. from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Entrance fees are $5 for adults; $3 for seniors; and $2 for students. Children 12 and under are free.
For information, call (480) 488-2764, or visit www.cavecreekmuseum.org.

Hi Lyn, Jan Misseri here. Just would like to put a little something in the great "Carefree Truth". I am searching for a position as an administrative assistant/customer service provider as well as a pet sitter. Will match prices you are paying now. I've worked in all of these areas for the past sixteen years and can provide references. I live in Carefree so I am readily available to all in the area. Please feel free to contact me either by email - casbin@aol.com or by phone - 480-488-5182.
