If you're interested in helping with a Do, maybe you can suggest some activities, locations & dates, and people can vote on what they'd be interested in doing & perhaps take the lead to organize, with you helping.
Cheers.

CMK10 great ideas, I had someone PM me and they brought up a good point, not everybody is into Baseball (gasp), my thought would be having two events at the same time. So if members partners, wifes, GF or BF want to come but don't want to the baseball game then they can go some place else. I really like the Derest Botanical Gardens idea, the blooms in the spring time are trully amazing.
First Friday isn't what it was, it has turned violent too much gang activity which is too bad, I use to love going to it.
I really like the idea of a spring training game, its cheap, its fun, and people can all sit together without a problem. Games are usally over by 3pm, enough time for people to go back to the hotel, relax around the pool before heading out for the evening event(s).
Would love to hear from others from out of town on events they are interested in. Regarding food, we have some amazing places (ask Guy Fieri) that are not part of the Corp world, so we wouldn't have a problem witih that.
So what do you folks think ???

Actually, D-Backs is still in 1st place NL West. Let's keep fingered crossed. If D-Backs will be very successful. They will continued to win the game. Sooner or later D-Backs is going playoffs for first-time ever since 2007.

Since I am a local I may be able to help with the planning and logistics. It depends on the date chosen and my schedule.

Winter time sounds like good weather to do it though.

Sorry that I won't hiking in early morning. I'll be sleeping all morning long. I can't go out. Because the weather is very extremely hot out there. When the weather will cool down sometime in October or November.

THis is one reason why spring time for a PHX DO is the best time, it allows for people to take advantage of our wonderful weather. I'm not one to go hiking in the summer, just too damn hot for me.

I used to regularly hike Camelback (my record from bottom to top was 42 minutes in my better shape days) and you can do it up through about early April when it starts to get uncomfortable even in the mornings.

I don't like to go out of my house during the summer, unless it's to the airport to leave!
