Work n' Walk


Walk the Walk, Walk into Winter, Meetings
from Jack Welch

The following is our update from Thursday 3 December Through Friday 11 December

THURSDAY 3 DECEMBER
Friends of the Rio Meeting
Location: Adult Center
Time: 6:00 PM

The "Friends" describe themselves as interested in the promotion of the Rio de Flag's natural stream system as a unique and valuable natural resource, an asset, and amenity to the City of Flagstaff and the surrounding community.
I hope that is of interest to you also. I know it's important to me. You can become involved by attending this interesting meeting that will feature a presentation by a Natural History Class out of the Coconino Community College about their erosion control project on a side drainage of the Rio de Flag.
We're also getting some long awaited projects involving the Rio underway as well.
Everybody Welcome! Please do bring a friend!
