We hear this comment every year<br />
around awards time, and nothing<br />
could be further from the truth.<br />
<strong>STYLE</strong>’s Readers’ Choice Awards<br />

every way; more votes, more voters,<br />
and more winners are named<br />
every year than any other local or<br />
regional contest of its kind.<br />
We’ve been publishing <strong>STYLE</strong> for<br />
20 years and take every word we<br />
print in our magazine seriously.<br />
When it comes to the Readers’<br />

| editor’s letter |<br />
Every time I go grocery shopping, I’m<br />
baffled by the sky-high prices. It seems<br />
like overnight, the cost of everything<br />
my family of four regularly consumes<br />
(bread, bananas, peanut butter, eggs,<br />
apples, the list goes on…), quadrupled.<br />
Even a small trip results in a big price tag.<br />
Thankfully, I have some savvy spending hacks up<br />
my sleeve (is extreme bargain hunting considered<br />
a hobby?!) that help me shave a tiny bit off the bill.<br />
Even so, at the end of the day (and month!), eating is<br />
expensive.<br />
But it isn’t just the supermarket that has me<br />
cringing when the credit card bill comes. Dining<br />
out, working out, childcare, a cup of coffee, car<br />
maintenance…it all adds up. And while not all these<br />
expenses are essential, they certainly help keep me<br />
sane and smiling.<br />
What I’ve come to realize, however, is that I don’t mind doling out dough if what<br />
I’m buying is worth the wad. In other words, if the purchase has value (beyond just<br />
the price), the quality and customer service are superior, and if I’m supporting a<br />
small business, then I’ll happily fork over the funds.<br />
If you, too, prefer springing for “things” that leave you feeling or looking better<br />
and from deserving mom-and-pop spots, then turn to our “Readers’ Choice Awards”<br />
(page 51), where you’ll find the region’s “best” people and places—according to the<br />
thousands of loyal readers who voted—in every category under the sun, from sushi<br />
and steakhouses to salons, swim schools, med spas, and more. Next time you need a<br />
haircut, home remodeler, handyman, or new happy hour hangout, why not give one<br />
of this year’s winners a whirl?<br />
And if free stuff is more your forte, you’re also in<br />
“Money will luck! There are ample activities tucked inside this<br />
buy you a month’s magazine that cost zero dollars. Check out<br />
the Calendar (page 32) for over 10 of them (including<br />
fine dog,<br />
<strong>STYLE</strong> ’s own Folsom Family Expo on October 14).<br />
but only Something else that’s always free? Fresh air! Flip to<br />
love can Take a Hike (page 46) for a trail near Truckee that’s<br />
overflowing with flowers and unforgettable forest<br />
make it wag<br />
views. Finally, for five free ways to make your home<br />
its tail.” homier this fall, turn to “Feels Like Home” (page 58)<br />
—Richard Friedman Money may buy happiness (to an extent) and keep<br />
your family fed, but sometimes the best things in life<br />
truly are free—like listening to music while flipping through a magazine, soaking<br />
up the crisp autumn air on a leisurely stroll, or spending precious time with loved<br />
ones. Cheers!<br />

TREES,PLEASE!<br />
Did you know fall is the perfect season to plant trees?<br />
Thanks to warm soil and mild temperatures, trees<br />
planted now will spend time developing a larger root<br />
zone—ultimately helping them to face next summer with<br />
super strength. To read about 5 must-plant fall trees,<br />

October means it’s time for spooky season! Sure, you can watch your<br />
favorite thrillers curled up on the couch, but when you’re ready to<br />
experience the real deal, choose one of these 10 local haunts—pun<br />
intended. Whether you love getting super scared, are a history buff,<br />
like a bit of putt-putt with your Halloween, or spirits are more your<br />
thing, there's something for everyone.<br />
Heartstoppers Haunted<br />
House offers multiple rooms<br />
with various themes—ranging<br />
from Old West zombies to<br />
steampunk horror in a medical<br />
ward. Sited in Rancho Cordova,<br />
the attraction has been around<br />
for over 15 years and is truly a<br />
haunting experience—one that's<br />
not recommended for anyone<br />
under the age of 13. Speaking<br />
of 13, they’re usually open for<br />
this many nights during the<br />
Halloween season. 2300 Mine<br />
Shaft Lane, Rancho Cordova, 916-<br />

Take in a haunted house<br />
experience—in an actual<br />
haunted “house.” The setting,<br />
you ask? Preston Castle—a<br />
former reform school for<br />
boys with many reports<br />
of paranormal activity.<br />
The 2019 movie Apparition was filmed here, and the<br />
property has been featured on such shows as Ghost<br />
Adventures and Ghost Hunters. Two different admission<br />
times will be held on October 13-24, 20-21, and 27-28.<br />

Main Street in Placerville is home to the historic Cary<br />
House Hotel where a former employee named<br />
Stan went to work and never returned home. As the<br />
story goes, Stan angered a man at the hotel and was<br />
stabbed. Rooms 406 and 208, along with the lobby,<br />
are where Stan likes to be the most. There’s been<br />
reports of piano music that can only be heard in certain<br />

Dr. Grover Lee<br />
Owner &<br />
Executive<br />
Winemaker<br />
at Wise Villa<br />
Winery<br />
by CAROLINE KINGS<br />
When you think of<br />
Placer County, what<br />
do you think of? Gold<br />
Rush-era towns? Juicy<br />
mandarins? Yearround<br />
recreation? A<br />
fabulous food scene?<br />
Well, think again, as<br />
there’s something<br />
else to be added to<br />
the list; nestled within<br />
the granite and gold<br />
are grapes, including<br />
the ones grown at<br />
Wise Villa Winery<br />
(wisevillawinery.com).<br />
Based in Lincoln, Wise<br />
Villa was established<br />
by Dr. Grover<br />
Lee: wine lover,<br />
connoisseur, and<br />
producer. His awardwinning<br />
wines are the<br />
result of a scientific<br />
approach combined<br />
with the European<br />
romanticism of wine<br />
making.<br />
Please tell us about your story so far.<br />
I grew up near Modesto surrounded by<br />
vineyards as far as the eye could see. They<br />
were our playground and then later, a<br />
place of work. If I wanted anything new, I<br />
had to work for it, so I was employed at the<br />
nearby E. & J. Gallo Winery. This is where I<br />
first started learning vine management. In<br />
college, I was a scientist but also interested<br />
in wine. I would take myself to the library<br />
to study grapes and wine production; the<br />
science behind it, the bacteriology, and<br />
the biochemistry caught my attention.<br />
I also had a roommate who worked in<br />
a wine shop; he would bring home the<br />
ends of bottles of nice European wine,<br />
which we’d enjoy. Then, I went to Europe<br />
and travelled around France, Germany,<br />
and Spain visiting chateaus, meeting wine<br />
producers, tasting wine, and learning as<br />
much as possible about the whole process.<br />
I’m a huge fan of Europe; in fact, both<br />
my children spent time studying there at<br />
different stages of their education.<br />

Lucky you and your kids! California is<br />
renowned for its wine, but was there<br />
a reason you chose Lincoln over other,<br />
more “traditional” wine-growing<br />
regions in the state?<br />
Yes, absolutely. Lincoln is a “wine oasis!” It<br />
has consistent temperatures, around 90/95<br />
degrees, and is cooler than other parts of<br />
the area, dropping nicely during the night.<br />
We also have rolling hills, which are perfect<br />
for planting vines and an early springtime.<br />
In France, I learned about the importance of<br />
the terroir, the very earth in which the vines<br />
are planted, which was an important factor<br />
in establishing my winery in Placer County.<br />
Lincoln benefits from an “inversion layer,”<br />
which means that, unlike other Californian<br />
wine regions, Wise Villa doesn’t suffer<br />
from frosts in the winter, which can ruin<br />
grape crops and are dreaded by vintners.<br />
The grapes grow in an environmental “safe<br />
haven” here.<br />
How would you describe your wines?<br />
In Europe, I started to realize the difference<br />
between Americans’ and Europeans’<br />
expectations of how wine should taste.<br />
Typically, Americans are looking for cocktailtype<br />
flavors—sweet and fruity—whereas,<br />
typically, Europeans want something they<br />
can drink over a long period of time, like an<br />
evening meal. We’re aiming for somewhere<br />
between the two with ours. We produce 36<br />
different wines and have recreated favorites<br />
from across the globe, so there’s something<br />
for everyone.<br />
You’ve just gone through the grape<br />
harvest. Please tell us about this process.<br />
July to September is grape harvest time—<br />
the most laborious time of year. The team<br />
works on the hills through the night,<br />
from 11 p.m.-3 a.m., hand-picking grapes<br />
and carefully collecting them. This is the<br />
coolest time of the day, so the grapes are<br />
plucked at the perfect temperature for cold<br />
fermentation—a critical component of our<br />
wines. We have approximately 18 varietals of<br />
grapes that are planted according to their<br />
needs (temperature, drainage, sunlight, etc.)<br />
to produce the optimum crop of grapes.<br />
Grapes aren’t picked en masse as may be the<br />
case at other wineries where machines are<br />
used. Even during the night, each bunch is<br />
assessed for ripeness before being picked.<br />
The team could be returning to each varietal’s<br />
vines over several nights before all the grapes<br />
are harvested.<br />
By 8 a.m., at the latest, the grapes are in the<br />
winery and the doors are closed to maintain<br />
the refrigerated temperature. The grapes<br />
are checked every step of the way with bad<br />
grapes being thrown away and branches<br />
being discarded, as well as “protein” (bugs<br />
mostly). With machine harvesting, everything<br />
goes in. Mistakes happen and stuff ends<br />
up in the mix. Most wines must go through<br />
a protein test, as only so much protein is<br />
allowed, but we don’t need to with our wine<br />
since the harvest is hand-checked from<br />
beginning to end. And that whole process<br />
happens over many nights—it’s tiring!<br />
With the harvest over, what’s on the<br />
horizon?<br />
I really look forward to the events now and<br />
meeting customers. Last month, we had the<br />
“I Love Lucy” grape stomp, which is a lot of<br />
fun and always sells out.<br />
And finally, we have to ask, which is<br />
your favorite wine?<br />
I make 36 wines, and my favorite mostly<br />
depends on the food, but also on who I’m<br />
with, what time of day it is, the temperature,<br />
and maybe my view (the ocean? the<br />
mountains? my backyard?). Put all those<br />
together, and I’ve got a favorite wine!<br />

Spotlight on<br />
Carin<br />
Brooks<br />
by JENNIFER MARAGONI<br />
Hard-shelled gourds have been used for thousands of years to<br />
make musical instruments, tools, containers, jewelry, ceremonial<br />
masks, and décor, among other things. And artists around the<br />
world continue to create intricate works of art using gourds as their canvas.<br />
Rocklin-based artist Carin Brooks has been creating gourd<br />
art since 2007. “All my life I’ve worked with different forms of art,<br />
including painting, stained glass, and, briefly, silver jewelry. I saw a<br />
gourd class advertised at the local art store and decided to give it a try.<br />
I was hooked.”<br />
Brooks, who grew up in Sweden, came to the U.S. in her early 20s to<br />
work as a flight attendant for Pan Am. “The plan was to stay a year and a<br />
half, buy a car, and go back home. Fifty years later, and I’m still here and<br />
haven’t regretted it. I love living here.”<br />
Each of her designs is as unique as the gourds they’re created<br />
on—from spring flowers and fall leaves, to hummingbirds, horses,<br />
and themed gourds for Halloween and Christmas. She was even<br />
commissioned to create a music-themed gourd, which features a piano,<br />
a guitar, and music notes. Brooks’ gourds are available at For the Love<br />
of Art Gallery in Auburn, which opened in March and is “an absolute<br />
blessing to be a part of,” Brooks says.<br />

What do you enjoy about creating<br />
gourd art?<br />
It’s meditative to work on a gourd and watch it<br />
become a piece of art. Oftentimes, the result is<br />
totally different from what I first started out creating.<br />
Where do you find your inspiration?<br />
It can be a picture, something in nature, or a piece<br />
of fabric; sometimes it just comes to me while<br />
working on a gourd.<br />
What tools do you use?<br />
For carving, a Dremel (rotary tool) and a variety<br />
of special bits—a mini jigsaw for cutting, a burn<br />
tool for pyrography, a heat gun to set<br />
the inks, and a drill for holes, among<br />
other things.<br />
Tell me about your process.<br />
First, I draw on the gourd with a pencil.<br />
Then I outline the drawing with a<br />
burning tool, clean the gourd, and<br />
apply the ink and varnish. After, I do the<br />
carving and the cutting. Finally, I varnish<br />
everything again.<br />
Where do you get your gourds?<br />
For the last few years, I’ve been ordering<br />
them from Southern California. Bottleand<br />
pear-shaped gourds are my favorite.<br />
When I lived in Nevada City, I grew my<br />
own. You have to leave them on the<br />
vine until the vine dies, so the gourds<br />
dry properly. It can take six months for<br />
them to dry from the inside out.<br />
How long does it take you to<br />
complete a piece?<br />
It varies greatly, depending on size,<br />
carving, cutting, pyrography, and<br />
design, but anywhere from eight to 50<br />
hours. I usually work on four pieces<br />
at a time, all in different phases of<br />
development, so as not to rush any<br />
part of the process.<br />
What are some of the<br />
challenges in creating<br />
gourd art?<br />
It’s a lot of work to clean out the<br />
inside of a gourd. I used to scrape it<br />
by hand, but it can take hours. Now I<br />
use special bits on my drill to loosen<br />
everything up or order pre-cleaned<br />
gourds; they cost more, but it’s worth<br />
it. Also, the shell is very hard and can<br />
be three-quarters of an inch thick,<br />
but I prefer that for carving, because<br />
it gives me a lot more to work with.<br />
I love to do the carving and with a<br />
thick shell, I can layer a deep carving.<br />
When cutting and carving shapes, I<br />
have to keep the integrity of the gourd<br />
in mind so it doesn’t break. I do all<br />
my carving outside because it’s messy,<br />
which is challenging in hot weather.<br />
Creating gourd art is a lot of work. You<br />
have to really enjoy it.<br />
Are your gourds ever<br />
intended to hold things or<br />
serve a purpose other than<br />
decoration?<br />
You can’t put liquids in them; some<br />
people try to seal them, but I don’t<br />
recommend it. The gourd is porous and<br />
could absorb the liquid, which would<br />
ruin it. I’ve made many bowls to hold<br />
dry items as well as breadbaskets. I’ve<br />
also created several thunder gourds<br />
(drums made of gourds with a spring<br />
attached to the drumhead). When you<br />
shake it, it sounds just like thunder.<br />
What is the best compliment<br />
you can get about your art?<br />
When someone asks me to create a<br />
special gourd for them and they’re<br />
excited about the result. Many<br />
customers have ordered additional<br />
pieces on commission.<br />

Courage<br />
is Calling<br />
How to Face Your Fears<br />
by JENNIFER MARAGONI<br />
Everyone has fears.<br />
There’s arachnophobia,<br />
the fear of spiders;<br />
claustrophobia, the<br />
fear of confined<br />
spaces; and<br />
coulrophobia, the<br />
fear of clowns. But<br />
these are phobias—<br />
intense, irrational,<br />
often paralyzing fears<br />
triggered by a certain<br />
object or situation. A<br />
person may know their<br />
phobia isn’t warranted,<br />
but can’t help feeling<br />
extremely anxious<br />
when confronted.<br />
Unlike these phobias, though, most<br />
people’s fears wouldn’t make very<br />
riveting horror movies. “Sometimes<br />
we fear the creaky sounds the<br />
house makes at night, but most<br />
people more commonly relate to<br />
the universal fears of abandonment,<br />
loss of identity or meaning, death,<br />
sickness, or pain,” explains Hannah<br />
Zackney, a licensed marriage and<br />
family therapist and owner/director<br />
of Heart Wide Open Wellness<br />
(hannahzackney.com/heart-wideopen),<br />
a holistic counseling center.<br />
Unlike a phobia, a rational fear<br />
is “a real and possible concern that<br />
requires a mindful approach to<br />
a potentially dangerous event or<br />
object,” she says, adding that her<br />
clients often know exactly what<br />
“big issue” they need to address,<br />
but are convinced if they face it,<br />
they’ll unravel irreparably. However,<br />
inaction often leads to a life of<br />
regrets.<br />
“Many of my clients have the<br />
‘fear of not being enough.’ Not smart<br />
enough. Not articulate enough.<br />
Not a good enough partner,” adds<br />
professional life coach Jenifer Novak,<br />
founder of Fully Expressed Living<br />
(fullyexpressedpotential.com). “These<br />
basic fears aren’t unique, but the<br />
person is so absorbed in their own<br />
story, they can’t see outside of it.”<br />
Sharing our fears with a therapist,<br />
a good friend, or a support group is<br />
extremely powerful, because they<br />
can remind us how normal our<br />
thinking is, Zackney says.<br />

Zackney breaks it into five steps:<br />
STEP 1: Accept it. Fear is a part<br />
of being human. The goal<br />
is not to get rid of it, but<br />
rather to accept it and move<br />
forward anyway.<br />
STEP 2: Name it. Simply saying<br />
“I’m afraid, unsure, scared,<br />
nervous, etc.” will diffuse the<br />
intensity and bring clarity.<br />
STEP 3: Feel it. This doesn’t<br />
mean suffer or indulge the<br />
fear. It means feel it to the<br />
degree you’re comfortable<br />
with for as long as you can,<br />
as many times as needed,<br />
until you have the sense of<br />
ownership over it. Success<br />
is demonstrated by your<br />
increasing ability to feel the<br />
fear, not the absence of it.<br />
WHAT IS FEAR?<br />
Fear in itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s a<br />
basic human emotion that is triggered<br />
when we sense danger—an internal<br />
warning signal that can protect us<br />
from harm. If we see a vicious-looking<br />
animal or smell smoke in the house,<br />
our fear response kicks in. But many<br />
common fears revolve around what<br />
others might think of us. For example,<br />
we fear that if we admit we were<br />
wrong, someone won’t trust us again.<br />
Or that if we take a stand at work, we’ll<br />
be seen as bossy.<br />
Our thoughts drive our fears,<br />
explains Novak. If you think a situation<br />
will have a negative consequence, your<br />
fear response is activated.<br />
We can’t control our basic<br />
emotions, only how we respond.<br />
Novak describes fear as “information<br />
and an opportunity,” adding that<br />
what matters is what we do when we<br />
encounter it. Sometimes fear causes<br />
people to feel stuck, she says, but that’s<br />
an opportunity to reflect on what’s<br />
needed to move forward courageously.<br />
Likewise, Zackney describes fears<br />
as “beautiful invitations to uncover<br />
growth and potential.”<br />
OVERCOMING FEAR<br />
Sometimes you must face your fears<br />
head on. Exposure therapy is usually<br />
highly effective, but you have to focus on<br />
progress, not perfection, says Zackney.<br />
“You’re scared to speak in public, so<br />
you find a safe space and practice,” she<br />
suggests. “You fear driving at night, so<br />
you begin practicing at dusk. A big or<br />
little step forward will do. Just make<br />
sure you’re moving toward your fear<br />
rather than running away from it.”<br />
Novak agrees, calling it a journey,<br />
not a finish line to cross quickly. As a<br />
life coach, she addresses clients’ fears<br />
by asking questions, such as “What is<br />
the voice of fear saying compared to<br />
what the voice of courage is saying?”<br />
The “miracle question,” says Zackney,<br />
“is ‘What would I do or how would I act<br />
if I wasn’t afraid?’ The answer usually<br />
informs the client of the next step.”<br />
Ready to tackle a fear? Novak<br />
suggests starting with a mindfulness<br />
approach. When you’re feeling fearful,<br />
“slow your breath. Notice only the<br />
inhale and exhale. Breathe in courage<br />
and breathe out fear. Notice if you<br />
feel different in your body. Notice the<br />
effect on your thinking.”<br />
STEP 4: Take action. Move<br />
toward not away from<br />
whatever scares you. If you’re<br />
scared of speaking up, find<br />
a safe environment where<br />
you can start to express your<br />
truth.<br />
STEP 5: Keep practicing.<br />
This is not a one-and-done<br />
process. You have to work<br />
your progress like a muscle<br />
to keep it strong.<br />
WHEN TO SEEK HELP<br />
Many people know what they<br />
need to address but struggle<br />
to move forward. If your fears<br />
are interfering with your<br />
enjoyment of life, growth,<br />
relationships, or sense of self,<br />
it’s time to ask for help.<br />
“Often, all we need is<br />
the support of a friend or<br />
professional to encourage us<br />
and hold us accountable,” says<br />
Zackney. “Very few of us can<br />
make lasting change alone. If<br />
you’re one of them, good for<br />
you! But if not, don’t shame<br />
yourself for needing a bit of<br />
help. Most of us do.”<br />

LOCATED NEAR:<br />
Truckee.<br />
DISTANCE:<br />
6.7 miles (out and back).<br />
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />
Moderate.<br />
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />
Mosquitoes have been abundant<br />
this year, so prepare accordingly by<br />
bringing bug spray. Several streams<br />
along the way can be used to filter<br />
drinking water, so packing a filter<br />
and/or iodine tablets is advised.<br />
Leashed dogs are allowed. Be sure<br />
to dress in layers, especially this<br />
time of year, and wear good shoes<br />
with traction. As always, respect the<br />
mountain and Leave No Trace.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT:<br />
Despite some freeway noise, the<br />
ample panoramic views, beautiful<br />

On-Trail Water<br />
Purification<br />
There are many<br />
products and<br />
various options for<br />
purifying water in the<br />
backcountry. Here are<br />
a few simple ways to<br />
stay hydrated without<br />
packing extra weight.<br />
➊<br />
Lifestraw<br />
This simple, lightweight<br />
option allows you to drink<br />
directly from a water source.<br />
While it doesn’t filter water<br />
into a bottle, it’s one of the<br />
most compact tools on this<br />
list. If you’re hiking along a<br />
constant source of water (like<br />
a stream or river), this is a<br />
great option.<br />
➋<br />
Pump filters<br />
You can use these filters to<br />
pump the exact amount of<br />
water you need, but pumping<br />
can be a bit of a chore if done<br />
often, and is also bulkier than<br />
other options.<br />
➌<br />
UV light purifiers<br />
These pen-style purifiers use<br />
UV rays to treat water in your<br />
bottle. Just turn it on, drop it<br />
in, and wait. Note: This option<br />
requires batteries, which<br />
can add complications, and<br />
it doesn’t filter anything out<br />
(leaving murky water murky);<br />
multiple treatments are<br />
needed for larger quantities.<br />
➍<br />
Bottle filters<br />
This is a convenient way to<br />
simply fill your bottle and<br />
move on. The built-in filter<br />
purifies water as you drink it.<br />
The con? You’ll have to clean<br />
your filter on the trail.<br />
➎<br />
Chemical tablets<br />
Iodine tablets are an ultralight<br />
and inexpensive way<br />
to purify your water. They<br />
do have a chemically taste,<br />
require more time to purify,<br />
and may pose complications<br />
for certain conditions<br />
(pregnancy, thyroid issues,<br />
etc.). Despite the negatives,<br />
they’re a great back-up option<br />
to always keep in your first<br />
aid kit.<br />

It is once again the GREATEST honor to be voted as a winner of the<br />
Best Dentist category in Roseville, Granite Bay and Rocklin, for 16<br />
years in a row.<br />
Dr. Nassif, along with his team at Dental Designs of Roseville, would<br />
like to take this opportunity to personally express our sincere<br />
gratitude for the trust you have placed in us when it comes to your<br />
dental care. The loyalty and support of our patients who have been<br />
with us for decades means so much to us and it is our honor to<br />
continue to serve you.<br />
Dr. Nassif brings extensive experience to advanced restorative and<br />
cosmetic dentistry and works closely with the most highly regarded<br />
specialists and lab technicians in the nation to provide every aspect of<br />
the highest quality of care available today. Our personal commitment<br />
is to you. We take pride in providing the highest quality of care<br />
and we never compromise our standards based on the insurance<br />
companies. Our practice has elevated our education and knowledge<br />
to assure that our patients receive the best and most current and<br />
compassionate care possible.<br />
We are proud to say that our team is made up of some of the<br />
most highly trained<br />
clinicians in the area.<br />
The Dental Design family is<br />
a team of people who commit to not only the patients but the<br />

comfort of knowing what to expect every time they walk through<br />
the door. The Dental Design team is blessed to have the trust and<br />
the confidence you put in us to refer your family and friends to<br />
us as well.<br />
That same philosophy of care applies to giving back to the<br />
community, as advocates and supporters of the American Cancer<br />
Society, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, St. Jude’s Children<br />
Research and many others. In 2019, Dr Nassif was awarded “Man of<br />
the Year” for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, with a record<br />
breaking donation and a “champion of hope” title. This would not<br />
have been possible without the outstanding and overwhelming<br />

Mimi Nassif would like to thank all of her clients and friends who<br />
voted for her again as one of the Best Real Estate Agents in Roseville,<br />
Rocklin and Granite Bay in <strong>2023</strong>! This is her 11th consecutive year<br />
winning!<br />
Mimi Nassif, founder and CEO of Mimi Nassif Luxury Estates,<br />
exemplifies true entrepreneurship by her ambition, confidence,<br />
and tenacity. Mimi has built her firm to the successful enterprise it<br />
is today. Mimi Nassif Luxury Estates, located in the heart of Granite<br />
Bay, manages to remain boutique in feel and top notch in customer<br />
service.<br />
"Inspiring," "workaholic" and "passionate" are words commonly<br />
used to describe Mimi Nassif, the prime realtor of the luxury estate<br />
market, who has sold some of the most expensive homes per price<br />
and per square foot in Placer, Sacramento and El Dorado counties.<br />
Her key to customer satisfaction and success is the positive attitude<br />
and tireless energy she brings to every client with whom she works.<br />
Her exceptional marketing strategy is incomparable with any other<br />
real estate agent or broker and that's her secret for selling listings<br />
in all different price ranges in a very short time for top dollar. Along<br />
with her dedication and commitment to provide the highest quality<br />
of service she delivers both results AND an enjoyable experience.<br />
“My clients say that I make them feel like they are the only clients I’m<br />
working with,” offers Nassif. “I work 7-days-a-week, am very handson,<br />
honest, and stay in constant communication throughout the<br />
process.” A large part of her success relies on truly listening to her<br />
clients’ wants and needs. Mimi skillfully reads the market to maximize<br />
value and return for her clients no matter the environment. If during<br />
escrow Mimi faces complications, she finds creative ways to keep<br />
all parties calm and moving forward. Buying or selling real estate is<br />
a huge investment and involves a lot of emotion. It’s Mimi’s goal to<br />
keep everyone happy for a fruitful closing.<br />
Mimi has multiple degrees in business marketing, fashion design and<br />
interior design. She is Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist<br />
and is in the top 1% in the Placer County Association of Realtors<br />
Masters Club.<br />
Mimi is so grateful for all of her blessings and the success she has<br />
received in her real estate practice, along with the opportunity<br />
to give back to the community that has helped her in her career.<br />
She finds balance in life by donating her free time to non-profit<br />
organizations and a portion of her income to local charities and<br />
churches. Good things come to those who focus on the positive in<br />
life and take action, so when it comes to your next move—whether<br />
buying or selling - give Mimi a call. You can count on her to deliver<br />
exceptional results.<br />

Dr. Bogard and her team are honored and grateful to the <strong>STYLE</strong><br />
Magazine readers who voted Dr. Bogard #1 Best Doctor and #1 Best<br />
Medical Doctor; and Bogard Health & Wellness #1 Best Medical<br />
Practice; and #1 Best Weight Loss Centers/Clinics. It is our honor<br />
to be able to serve the local Roseville community.<br />
Dr. Bogard has a long history in the health field. From an RN<br />
to a nurse anesthetist to an anesthesiologist, she spent almost<br />
40 years in the operating room. She was exposed to critical<br />
care, trauma, obstetrics, lots of on call hours and sleepless<br />
nights. As she entered her 50's she found her own health<br />
starting to decline and sought out a healthy aging physician.<br />
After experiencing the benefits she sought out the fellowship<br />
of regenerative and healthy aging through the American<br />
Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.<br />
She opened an office in 2014 and continues to grow and expand<br />
her knowledge into this evolving field of medicine. Rather than<br />
prescribing medications and bandaging diseases she looks<br />
for the "root causes" and integrates each system in the body<br />
together. She also looks at environmental, genetic and lifestyle<br />
factors which result in "dis-ease". Her continued and expanding<br />
practice utilizes bioidentical hormone replacement, thyroid<br />
and adrenal optimization, GI healing, testing for heavy metals<br />
and IV nutrition and chelation, advanced lipid testing, and<br />
advanced blood sugar testing.<br />

infants, kids, and adults of all skill levels. The school<br />
started modestly in Steve Wallen's backyard pool, and<br />
with your support, has grown into one of the most<br />
popular and respected swim schools in the area.<br />
On this subject, we are thrilled to announce that, with<br />
your help, we have been voted this year’s #1 Best Swim<br />
School and #1 Best Local Business for the 5th year in<br />
a row by Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay voters. SWSS<br />
is humbled and honored to receive these awards and<br />
wants to thank all our loyal customers and supporters<br />
who voted for us.<br />
We take great pride in the quality of service we provide<br />
each and every day, and it is tremendously rewarding to<br />
see that our customers feel the same way. Our state-ofthe-art<br />
indoor heated pool facility is open year-round<br />
for private and small group swim lessons, baby and me<br />
classes, and competitive swim lessons.<br />
We firmly believe that swimming is a life skill that<br />
should be practiced on a routine basis in order to retain<br />
developed skills and achieve maximum enjoyment in<br />
the water. Whatever your swim instruction needs, Steve<br />
Wallen Swim School is prepared to meet and exceed<br />
your expectations!<br />

There's something electric about travel "firsts." The first<br />
time you spot an elephant's tracks on your safari. Your first<br />
dip into the impossibly blue Fijian waters.<br />
One of my favorite travel firsts is a little different — it’s the<br />
first time I speak with a client. They tell me about their<br />
travel dreams, and I get excited thinking about how I will<br />
bring their dream to life.<br />
It's about crafting memories — the kind that truly last a<br />
lifetime.<br />
Being in the business of crafting memories takes a<br />
specialized set of skills — skills I have honed for the past<br />
19 years while traveling through 7 continents. When you<br />
trust me with your journey, I will unlock access to rarely<br />

If you're yearning for a fresh, bold, and innovative approach<br />

ASK THE<br />
EXPERT<br />
by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Q: WHAT MAKES DARK<br />
CHOCOLATE "HEALTHIER"<br />
THAN MILK CHOCOLATE?<br />
A: Chocolate has been analyzed,<br />
studied, and shown to have<br />
numerous health benefits.<br />
There are other ingredients in<br />
it, however, like milk and sugar,<br />
that don’t contribute to the<br />
true benefits of chocolate. This<br />
makes dark chocolate—which<br />
is referred to as semi-sweet,<br />
bittersweet, extra bittersweet, or<br />
pure unsweetened chocolate—<br />
healthier than milk chocolate. The<br />
higher cocoa percentage, the<br />
higher the health benefits.<br />

Vista Verde Ranch<br />
by WENDY SIPPLE<br />

something, and<br />
somewhere,<br />
different for<br />
this year’s<br />
vacation? Say<br />
bye-bye to<br />
beaches, dayslong<br />
Disneyland<br />
excursions,<br />
and Hawaii for<br />
the hundredth<br />
time, and consider a dude ranch instead.<br />
Nestled in the heart of the Colorado<br />
Rockies, Vista Verde Ranch<br />
(vistaverde.com) is an all-inclusive getaway<br />
that provides the perfect blend of bespoke<br />
adventure, relaxation, and luxury—with a<br />
beautiful backdrop to boot.<br />
Ditch your electronics and enjoy<br />
exploring breathtaking mountain trails<br />
on horseback, hiking through pristine<br />
forests, or discovering the thrill of<br />
whitewater rafting.<br />
After a day of play, unwind in your<br />
cozy, private cabin, featuring rustic<br />
elegance and modern amenities for a<br />
truly indulgent stay. Note the rooms don’t<br />
have TVs—but trust us, you won’t miss<br />
them, especially because each cabin has<br />
its own hot tub—a much-needed amenity<br />
after partaking in the on-site activities.<br />
And did we mention the food?<br />
Savor gourmet meals prepared by<br />
professionally trained chefs while<br />
enjoying friendly company at communal<br />
dining tables.<br />
Getting there is easy—both United<br />
Airlines and Southwest Airlines fly into<br />
Yampa Valley Regional Airport (HDN)<br />
serving Steamboat Springs, and Vista Verde<br />
provides a shuttle to and from the ranch.<br />
With a warm, welcoming staff<br />

Feels Like Home<br />
5 STEPS TO A HOMIER HOUSE<br />
by NELLY KISLYANKA<br />
Pull out your pumpkin spice-scented<br />
candles—autumn is upon us! With shorter<br />
days and cooler temps shooing us indoors<br />
for bake nights with friends and spooky<br />
movie marathons, we’ve turned our attention<br />
to transitioning our homes for fall festivities. If<br />
your living space is only fit for the living dead,<br />
fear not! We’ve rounded up the top tricks for<br />
a homier home.<br />
“Decluttering is the<br />
secret ingredient to a<br />
simpler and more enjoyable<br />
day-to-day life."<br />
1. Put everything in its place<br />
Creating a serene space in which you can relax<br />
begins with organization. Organizing may not be<br />
the most thrilling step in preparing your place for<br />
fall, but it should be the first. “When your home<br />
is clutter-free, and everything has a designated<br />
place, you'll find it much easier to maintain that<br />
cozy atmosphere. Decluttering is the secret<br />
ingredient to a simpler and more enjoyable dayto-day<br />
life,” says Cathy Tonks, founder of Designs<br />
With You in Mind (designswithyouinmind.net).<br />

play with in your<br />

and plush faux<br />

“Don’t get so caught<br />
up in executing a<br />
picture-perfect<br />
design that your<br />
home feels staged.<br />
Instead, incorporate<br />
mementos of<br />
sentimental value<br />
and cherished<br />
family pieces.”<br />
ACHIEVE THE LOOK: Start with purging!<br />
Tonks recommends dedicating 20<br />
minutes a day to purging and organizing<br />
one section of your home. Breaking up<br />
the mammoth task of decluttering into 20<br />
minutes daily keeps it from overwhelming<br />
you but is still incredibly effective. “Before<br />
you know it, you'll have cleared out<br />
unnecessary belongings and created a<br />
clean canvas for your cozy haven.” Moving<br />
forward, Tonks recommends making a<br />
habit of removing two items for every new<br />
item you bring into your home. “Trust<br />
me—this little practice will go a long way<br />
in preserving the cozy vibe you desire,”<br />
she says.<br />
2. Create a cozy reading nook<br />
“Creating a cozy nook in your living room<br />
provides a comfortable corner where you<br />
can sink into the embrace of an armchair<br />
and indulge in a good book,” says<br />
Christina Lisetsky, designer at Curated<br />
Spaces and Skyline Build & Design<br />
(skylinebuildinc.com). If your house is<br />
fresh out of alcoves to accommodate<br />
a reading nook, create a designated<br />
area within a larger space by carefully<br />
arranging furniture and strategically<br />
placing rugs to maximize the use of<br />
available space.<br />
ACHIEVE THE LOOK: According<br />
to Lisetsky, “the key to successfully<br />
implementing this technique is to<br />
consider the flow of movement within<br />
your home and the natural divisions<br />
that exist.” Decide on the distinct zones<br />
you wish to create with this information<br />
in mind, then define them with rugs.<br />
“Incorporating rugs in each zone not only<br />
adds comfort underfoot but also helps in<br />
visually separating the spaces while tying<br />
the overall design together,” says Lisetsky.<br />
3. Set the mood with lighting<br />
According to Jenny Levitsky, owner<br />
of Ultimate Designs & Kitchen Goods<br />
(ultimatedesignkitchens.com), “The<br />
right lighting is essential to create cozy<br />
environments.” It can even help you<br />
unwind after a busy day.<br />
ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Use quality<br />
dimmable lighting with floor and table<br />
lamps rather than all ceiling lighting.<br />
Multiple sources let you use different<br />
types throughout the day and can help<br />
illuminate separate areas where you<br />
want to get cozy without lighting up<br />
the whole space,” advises Levitsky. She<br />
also recommends utilizing candles and<br />
your fireplace to cast a soft glow upon<br />
a room.<br />
4. Layer up<br />
Build a cozy ambiance through the<br />
art of layering. “A stark sofa with no<br />
layered pillows is not as inviting as one<br />
with soft textures added,” says Levitsky,<br />
“Having a comfy throw nearby says,<br />
‘come get cozy!’” Be careful to strike the<br />
right balance when layering, though,<br />
cautions Tonks; you don’t want to<br />
overcrowd a space.<br />
ACHIEVE THE LOOK: At the heart<br />
of layering is texture. Decorative<br />
pillows and blankets with diverse<br />
textures not only create visual interest<br />
but evoke comfort through touch.<br />
“When envisioning coziness, one<br />
often imagines snuggling under a soft<br />
blanket with a couple of plush pillows,”<br />
says Lisetsky. Some textures to play<br />
with in your home this fall are boucle,<br />
chunky cable knits, woven plaids,<br />
jacquard, and plush faux mink.<br />
5. Add some love<br />
Love is what makes a house a home.<br />
Don’t get so caught up in executing a<br />
picture-perfect design that your home<br />
feels staged. Instead, incorporate<br />
mementos of sentimental value and<br />
cherished family pieces. “Remember,<br />
creating a cozy home is about more<br />
than just aesthetics. It's about creating<br />
a nurturing environment that makes<br />
you feel truly at ease,” reminds Tonks.<br />
Don’t just do what you see on TV<br />
design shows, advises Levitsky. “Bring<br />
your own personal touches to add<br />
elements of love that make a space feel<br />
warm and cozy.”<br />
ACHIEVE THE LOOK: “Add family<br />
photographs or art from your favorite<br />
travels,” Levitsky recommends. She also<br />
encourages mixing in hand-me-down<br />
furnishings from a favorite relative. As<br />
a bonus, sentimental pieces fill your<br />
home with stories that make great<br />
dinner conversation.<br />

airy patio. If, like me, you arrive thirsty for a tasty and well-priced happy hour<br />
margarita, you’ve come to the right place. A double margarita for $9? Yes,<br />
please.<br />
The hostess, who was also our bartender and server (or should I say, super<br />
server), shook it up, and brought it out within minutes. Finding a happy hour<br />
spot with a patio and decently priced, well-made drinks was a huge win for me.<br />
I couldn’t have been más feliz.<br />
We perused the menu while nibbling on complimentary chips and salsa.<br />
The chips were homemade, and the red salsa was, to my delight, a bit spicy.<br />
Tasty chips and salsa? An added point on the books for Mexico Lindo.<br />

Verde<br />
Fries<br />
“<br />
The fries came dressed in a<br />
mountainous, melted blanket of<br />
carnitas-speckled cheese and<br />
real green chiles (a major plus<br />
for this New Mexico native).<br />

We started with the Chile Verde Fries,<br />
which were incredibly tasty. Be forewarned<br />
though; if you’re not an absolute cheese<br />
fanatic (though, who isn’t?), this is not the<br />
appetizer for you. The fries came dressed<br />
in a mountainous, melted blanket of<br />
carnitas-speckled cheese and real<br />
green chiles (another major plus<br />
for this New Mexico native).<br />
While I would’ve loved a little<br />
more chile verde pork mixed<br />
in, I found myself devouring<br />
assuredly more than my half.<br />
Within mere minutes<br />
of ordering, our multi-talented<br />
waitress—who we learned was the<br />
manager, too (someone give this woman<br />
a raise!)—brought out two scalding plates:<br />
Birria Tacos and Beer Battered Fish Tacos.<br />
I’ll be honest; we had just returned<br />
from the Bay Area where we had the most<br />
delicious birria tacos of our lives, so these<br />
were against some fierce competition<br />
and weren’t on the same level. Don’t get<br />
me wrong, they were good, but after the<br />
mega-bowl of cheese I had just consumed,<br />
the cheese in them was just a bit too<br />
much (yes, even for this queso fanatic!).<br />
Just moderate your cheese consumption<br />
before ordering them, and you’ll be OK.<br />
The fish tacos were the clear winner.<br />
The fresh cod wasn’t overcooked, the<br />
jalapeño and cilantro crema spot-on, and<br />
the cilantro-lime rice and black<br />
beans brought the dish a muchneeded<br />
punch of freshness.<br />
Squeeze a little citrus on<br />
them, order another round of<br />
margaritas, and you might just<br />
forget you’re in a suburban strip<br />
mall.<br />
If you’re seeking a nice spot for a<br />
drink and a solid bite of food, Mexico<br />
Lindo delivers. You may feel the cheese<br />
coursing through your veins for a<br />
day or two, but it’ll be worth it.<br />
A warning from the<br />
not-so-wise: Don’t plan on<br />
exercising after eating<br />
here (that probably<br />
should’ve been obvious).<br />
Next time, I’ll end my<br />
cycling adventures here<br />
with time for a siesta after.<br />

AROUND<br />
THE WORLD<br />

baked goods.<br />

Suite 100, Folsom, above, and more, visit Folsom’s T&5 Café & Bakery—an Asian-inspired bakeshop<br />
916-790-8638 that goes beyond just cakes and cookies. Curious where the name comes from?<br />
t5bakerycafe<br />
One of the owner’s last names is Tong, hence the “T,” and his wife and co-owner’s<br />
last name means “5” in Chinese. Besides baked goods, they also serve smoothies, boba tea,<br />
coffee, and tasty dim sum! One thing I love about their drinks is you can choose the sweetness<br />
level, how much ice you want, and any additional toppings (on most drinks). I tried the Fresh<br />
Watermelon Tea with a 75% sweetness level, standard ice, and lychee. My daughter<br />

ordered the Brown Sugar Boba Coconut Milk, which is one drink you can’t adjust<br />
the sugar level on. Made with house-made brown sugar boba, house-made coconut<br />
milk, and topped with boba soaked in caramelized black sugar, it was “the best!”<br />
according to her. The Heavenly Japanese Cheesecake—which had a pleasant,<br />
not too sweet flavor with a fluffy texture—and Green Tea Crepe Cake also caught<br />
my eye and were impossible to pass up. With so many unique menu offerings, you,<br />
too, will be tempted to try them all—trust me!<br />

LIST<br />
THE<br />
A is for<br />
Apples<br />
by PAULINE ARROYO<br />
Some people call October sweater weather, but it’s apple<br />
season around here. Whether you prefer yours plucked<br />
straight from a branch or baked into a yummy treat, now's<br />
the time to sink your teeth into fall’s favorite fruit. We handpicked<br />
a few of the best local dishes with apples as the star<br />
of the show. Let’s dig in!<br />
Apple Amore<br />
Do you know what’s better than pineapple<br />
on pizza? Apples on pizza. Seriously,<br />
if you’re skeptical of the fruit-on-pizza<br />
lifestyle, the Campania Pizza from Il<br />
Pizzaiolo will convert you. This Neapolitanstyle<br />
pie features bacon, red onions, fresh<br />
mozzarella, EVOO, parmesan, and—of<br />
course—apples. All that deliciousness<br />
comes on a thin, bubbly crust made in an<br />
authentic wood-fired oven. Buon appetito!<br />
3640 Taylor Road, Loomis, 916-672-6556,<br />
ilpizzaiololoomis.com<br />
Chop & Chutney<br />
Ready to fancy up your apples? Head to The Independent in Placerville and order the Pork<br />
Chop—a hearty 12-ounce piece of pork from Lan-Roc Farms that’s all things savory and<br />
juicy (thanks to an hours-long molasses brine). But what really puts this dinner entrée over<br />
the top is the accompanying apple and shallot chutney. Put a generous spoonful over your<br />
chop for the perfect punch of spice and sweetness to complement the richness of the pork.<br />
629 Main Street, Placerville 530-344-7645, independentplacerville.com<br />
Oh, Crepe, That’s Good!<br />
Craving crepes and apples? Feed two<br />
birds with one seed by chowing down<br />
on the Caramel Apple Crepe, available<br />
at both Julian’s Patisserie & Café in<br />
Folsom and Pastry Nouveau in Roseville.<br />
Picture it: A delicate, French-style crepe<br />
wrapped around the culinary quartet<br />
that is apples, butter, brown sugar, and<br />
cinnamon. Served with freshly whipped<br />
cream and ooey-gooey caramel sauce,<br />
no matter what time of day you dig in,<br />
you’ll be saying bonjour to deliciousness.<br />

waiting for your pie. The Caramelized<br />
Apple Salad features buttery sweet apple<br />
slices, walnuts, and blue cheese on a<br />
bed of mixed greens drizzled with zingy<br />
raspberry vinaigrette. The sweetness of<br />
the baked fruit plays with the tanginess of<br />
the blue cheese for a can’t-skip starter. 702<br />

If your idea of a perfect morning meal is<br />
a savory sandwich, then Bloom Coffee &<br />
Tea is where you need to be. Start your<br />
day off with The Dutchman—freshly baked<br />
focaccia piled high with applewood<br />
smoked bacon, smoked turkey, arugula,<br />
green apples, Havarti, and sun-dried<br />
tomato aioli that’s pressed into a warm,<br />
toasty bite of goodness. The apple<br />
gives it just the right amount of crunch<br />
and brightness to complement the<br />
sub’s smoky, salty flavors. 1485 Eureka<br />

An Apple (Salad) a Day Keeps<br />
the Doctor Away<br />
Every apple-themed adventure should<br />
include a delectable seasonal salad from<br />
Pizzeria Classico. But don’t worry, this<br />
isn’t a boring salad you scarf down while<br />
The Apple (Pie) of Our Eye<br />
No countdown of the best apple dishes<br />
would be complete without the all-<br />
American classic: apple pie. Today, we<br />
must give it up to the orchard-to-fork<br />
Dutch Apple Pie from Ikeda’s in Auburn.<br />
Stop by for a slice, and remember to order<br />
it a la mode; cool vanilla ice cream, warm<br />
apples, and buttery crumble are a match<br />
made in dessert heaven! 13500 Lincoln<br />

should we say the Sundae? Forget any<br />
other ice cream sundae you’ve had and<br />
save room for a heaping bowl of vanilla<br />
ice cream that comes inclusive of a<br />
freshly baked apple cider donut, peanuts,<br />
whipped cream, and homemade caramel<br />
sauce. The best part? You get to enjoy the<br />
decadent dish while soaking in the scenic<br />
orchard views. 1800 Larsen Drive, Camino,<br />

A Toast to French Toast<br />
Who said you can't have dessert for breakfast? If you're looking for something sweet to start<br />
your day, CrepeTown Café has just the thing for you. Their Apple-Stuffed French Toast<br />
features a generous serving of apple chunks bathed in buttery, cinnamon-spice goodness<br />
and baked to the ooey-gooey perfection of an apple pie. Then, they sandwich the filling<br />
between two thick-cut slices of battered brioche toast. Of course, French toast wouldn't be<br />
French toast without a snowfall of powdered sugar, autumnal syrup, and whipped cream.<br />
4064 Mother Lode Drive, Shingle Springs, 530- 677-5993, crepetowncafe.com<br />
The Strudel is Real<br />
During October, beer and brats steal the<br />
spotlight during Oktoberfest celebrations,<br />
but if you ask us, we want to say, “prost!”<br />
to a slice of Apple Strudel from Bakerie &<br />
Latte Chateau Arme. If you’ve never had<br />
apple strudel before, prepare yourself for<br />
an authentic Austrian delicacy made of tart<br />
Granny Smith apples bathed in cinnamon<br />
and sugar that are then baked in a thin,<br />
flaky crust. Order it for breakfast, lunch, or<br />
just because! 2222 Francisco Drive, Suite 500,<br />
El Dorado Hills, 916-939-0834<br />
Let’s Get Apple Sauced<br />
Summers are for seltzers, but fall is cider’s time to shine. If you’re looking for a boozy<br />
way to consume your daily dose of apples, sip a Cider Flight at Ponderosa Cider Co.<br />
in Auburn. They have a wide selection featuring fruity and funky mixes that are sure<br />
to quench anyone’s thirst. Feeling something sweet? Try the Imperial Strawberry for<br />
a co-fermented blend of apples and strawberries that tastes fresh off the farm. Want<br />
something classic? The Duchess is a dry, lightly spiced cider that's 100% apples and 100%<br />
delicious. Cheers! 102 Gum Lane, Unit B, Auburn, 530-401-0128, ponderosacider.com<br />

Congrats to this month’s<br />
nonprofit beneficiary:<br />
UPPER ROOM<br />
DINING HALL<br />
9/14/<strong>2023</strong><br />
Upper Room Dining Hall<br />
One thousand and 00/100<br />
<strong>STYLE</strong> Magazine<br />
Based in Placerville, Upper Room<br />
Dining Hall’s mission is to<br />
provide food and other services<br />
to community members living under the<br />
strain of poverty with<br />
dignity and compassion.<br />
Although food banks<br />
and pantries exist across<br />
the region, there are many<br />
people who don’t have the<br />
means or ability to turn<br />
a bag of groceries into a<br />
nutritious meal. Upper<br />
Room is the only nonprofit<br />
in El Dorado County that<br />
offers hot meals—lovingly prepared by a<br />
team of volunteers—365 days a year.<br />
The dinners often serve as an entry<br />
point for guests who take advantage of<br />
the organization’s other resources that<br />
are available both on-site and through<br />
community partnerships, including<br />
personal hygiene, navigation and outreach<br />

Karen Stinson, operations director at Upper Room Dining Hall; and Emiley Mohr,<br />
account manager at <strong>STYLE</strong> Magazine.<br />
“<br />
“It's the support of our loyal<br />
advertising partners, like Dr.<br />
Shawn McDonald, that allow<br />
us the opportunity to give<br />
back to the communities we<br />
serve.”<br />
—Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple<br />
services, pet vaccination clinics, legal<br />
assistance, wound care, and more.<br />
Thanks to the nonprofit’s amazing<br />
volunteers, donors, and strong<br />
community partnerships,<br />
they’ve earned the tagline:<br />
“Upper Room Dining Hall<br />
is so much more than just<br />
a meal!”<br />
“We’re thankful to<br />
live in such a generous<br />
community, as we<br />
continue to expand our<br />
services—including the<br />
addition of a mobile<br />
food truck—to reach more of the<br />
underserved in our county,” says<br />
Operations Director Karen Stinson.<br />
For more information, including ways<br />
you can donate or volunteer, visit<br />
upperroomdininghall.org.<br />
In honor of our<br />
20th year in business,<br />
we're donating $1,000<br />
each month (through January<br />
2024) to local charitable<br />
organizations and need YOU, our<br />
readers, to help us designate<br />
the recipients. To nominate<br />

choice, visit stylemg.<br />
