Feb. 1st meeting for Flagstaff Community Health Action Network

Just a quick reminder that we are meeting tomorrow at the 2625 N. King Street building for strategic planning with Allie Stender. The theme for the potluck is heart healthy or red food. Theresa is bringing a chocolate fountain, so you could bring something to dip if you want or salad things. I am bringing spaghetti sauce and noodles.

Also, remember we'll also be holding a drawing for 2 Harkins movie tickets to those who subscribe or have already subscribed to our FlagCHAN MODSite (members only discussion site) by today, January 31st.  To join, please email MJ at mjbutler@coconino.az.gov for an invitation.

Please note the MODSite is not the public blog (this).  More info can be found at this link.

Participate in Celebrate Youth Day!

Dear Celebrate Youth Day Participant,

Another year is rapidly coming to a close and it is time for us to begin planning for Celebrate Youth Day (CYD) 2012.

We are planning for the stage (we will set up the stage only if we have enough interest) and action area to be in separate areas again this year. This will allow for more performances and demonstrations. To better serve the community, we want to include as many exhibitors as possible.  As in years past, we may have to limit tables and accept participants on a first come, first serve basis.  Please request what you think you will need and we will do our best to accommodate every request.

We want this to be the best CYD ever, but we will need your cooperation, patience, and understanding to accomplish this goal.  Please call Connie at 779-5361 if you have any questions.

Schools are encouraged to participate by providing performances or a table with information and or an activity for kids. 

Celebrate Youth Day is sponsored by Citizens Against Substance Abuse (CASA), the Coconino County Alliance Against Drugs (CCAAD), and the Flagstaff Mall.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you and your organization at CYD 2012 on January 28, 2012

Sincerely,

Connie S. Leto 
Executive Director
