Message From Arizona State Treasurer
Greetings Biltmore Area Partnership Members
I wish you and your families a Happy Independence Day as we get ready to celebrate our great nation’s 247th birthday! Coming from a family of small business owners, I am thankful to live in a country and state where we have the choice to invest and make smart business decisions to support our free market economy.
As Arizona State Treasurer, that’s the same approach my team takes to invest tax-payer dollars for local governments. The Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is a voluntary program where local Arizona governments, including cities, towns, counties, community colleges and universities, and tribal governments, can deposit money with my office for investments. We pool LGIP investments with other funds to provide greater liquidity and yield than possible on their own. I am pleased to share that as of May 2023, we have a record high balance of $6.47 billion in assets under management—up 10.25% year over year. Thanks to the hard work of my investment team, these local entities have earned over $187.6 million in the first 11 months of the fiscal year. This means less reliance on taxes that burden our small businesses and economy, and more money to fund roads and programs serving our communities.
In June, I was also pleased to speak with Taiwanese industry leaders and technology experts at Taiwan Tech Day hosted by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council and the Taiwan Trade Center. We celebrated the growing and important relationship between Arizona and Taiwan—which is the top exporter of computer and electronic products from Arizona valued at over $362 million as of 2022. Additionally, there are over 5,500 jobs in Arizona supported by Taiwanese affiliated companies and that number continues to grow with more businesses coming to our state. I will always remain a steadfast supporter of our business-friendly, low tax environment with policies that support our free market which are critical to the success of our small business and state economy.
Part of that commitment includes supporting an educated and qualified workforce to respond to the growing needs of all industries. The AZ529, Arizona’s Education Savings Plan, supports the education we need here. Now through July 9th, all Arizona K-12th grade students are invited to enter our “My Picture-Perfect Career” photo contest by posing for a selfie, snapping a photo with friends, or taking a creative shot that shows their dream career. We’re selecting winners from all types of schools including district, charter, private, homeschool and tribal schools.
All entries must be submitted to our website: www.az529.gov/photocontest by July 9th. The entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges, and I have the pleasure of announcing the 10 winners who will receive $529 towards their higher education at an awards ceremony at the State Capitol later this summer. Summer break is the perfect time to encourage all students to continue dreaming and planning for their future careers through the AZ529 Plan. For more information, please visit www.az529.gov.
I am thankful for your continued support and contributions to our community. If you or your organization require my Office’s assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at (602) 542-7800 or aztreasury.gov/contact.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
Sincerely,
Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee

Arizona Biltmore Golf Club and Adobe Restaurant
Adobe Course Renovations Update: Adobe Course renovations continue as crews work on shaping fairways, bunkers and greens on the back nine. Irrigation lines have been installed on most of the front nine with grass expected to be planted in the coming weeks on those holes. The Lehman Design Group and Scottsdale resident and five-time PGA TOUR champion Tom Lehman have been onsite throughout the renovation process, making a few minor tweaks to the design to increase shot values and playability. The course is expected to reopen for public and member play this fall. The Links Course remains open for daily play. For your safety, please stay off the golf course during construction.
New Clubhouse Construction Update: Construction on the new clubhouse and restaurant is proceeding as scheduled. Sundt Construction crews have added a few early mornings to their schedules to get concrete poured during the coolest part of the day. As construction continues and in the weeks ahead, expect exterior walls to start going up. The clubhouse project is expected to be completed in 2024.
No Trespassing: A friendly reminder that the Arizona Biltmore Golf Courses are private property. There have been several reports of trespassing on the active construction site of the Adobe course, including dirt bikers. If you see this activity, please contact the golf shop, and if it is after hours, please contact the City of Phoenix Police Department. Use of the golf courses is reserved for members and customers of the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club. Trespassers, including (but not limited to) walkers, joggers and those walking pets, will be cited. For your safety, please do not enter the clubhouse construction area or Adobe Course at any time. We appreciate your cooperation.
The Adobe Restaurant and Bar ARE OPEN: Just a reminder that the Adobe Restaurant and Bar are open for business during phase two of clubhouse construction for breakfast, lunch or afternoon happy hour. The Adobe Restaurant is a great spot to enjoy a meal, while getting a birds-eye view of clubhouse construction.
Cool Off At The Adobe Restaurant: On a hot summer day, nothing beats a refreshing cold beverage. Stay hydrated by swinging by the Adobe Restaurant before and after golf. We’ve added a few new beverage options, including: Deep Eddy Daly (Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka with iced tea) for $7 and $6 after 2 pm, Tequila High Noon in a variety of flavors – great option to take out on the course. Plus, we have $6 Bloody Mary’s with house made mix, and mimosas all day Saturday and Sunday*- dine in only

COOL DINING IN LON’S UNDERGROUND WINE CELLAR The return of 100+ degree temperatures in the greater Phoenix area also ushers in a cool reprieve in the form of a one-of-a-kind culinary experience in the underground wine cellar at LON’s at the Hermosa.Beginning June 1 through September 10, the hotel’s signature restaurant will open its private subterranean wine cellar to offer guests and Valley residents a special five-course tasting menu (chef’s selection) for $125/person, not including tax and gratuity. Wine pairings are an additional $75 per person.
Cool (in every sense of the word), the cellar—kept at 57 degrees—is normally reserved exclusively for private events, but based on availability, it will be open for parties of two or more, Thursday through Sunday nights. Reservations for Cool Dining can be made by clicking the ‘experiences are available’ link on OpenTable, or by calling LON’s at 602.955.7878. Seating is limited to 12 guests.
LON’S LAST DROP EXTENDED SUMMER HAPPY HOUR Options for mid-afternoon munchies or a bite in the bar just got bigger and better with some tantalizing additions, including Crab Cake Sliders, Denver Lamb Ribs, and the signature Stetson Burger. The Patagonian Shrimp Tacos, the Megargee Trio of corn chips, warm queso, guacamole and roasted salsa roja, and the ever-popular Cellar Board with a carafe of wine, are ideal for sharing, particularly during the extended summer happy hours, which are daily, from 3-7 pm, June 1 through September 10, 2023.
100TH ANNIVERSARY OF ‘THE LAST DROP’ PAINTING BY LON MEGARGEE
In 1923, the Stetson Hat Company commissioned what may be the most famous cowboy image of all time: The Last Drop From His Stetson, by Lon Megargee, which depicted a kindly cowboy kneeling to give his horse a drink of water from his upturned hat. It has become a hallmark of cowboy culture and an icon of the Stetson brand, as it has been imprinted on the lining of its upscale hats for the past 100 years. While the original oil painting hangs in Stetson’s New York City headquarters, a framed print adorns the hotel’s bar, aptly named LON’s Last Drop.
To commemorate the centennial, The Hermosa Inn will be celebrating with:
100th Anniversary Celebration Getaway: Book two nights in a deluxe casita and get a third night free. Valid April 2-May 28, 2023.
Tip Your Stetson and savor a signature Last Drop or Stetson cocktail for just $5, June 1 through September 10, 2023.
