SUNDAY: A benefit open mike for Taala Hooghan!

MONDAY: SAVE THE PEAKS! NO DRINKING WATER FOR SNOWMAKING!
On August 30th Flagstaff City Council will decide whether or not to sell Flagstaff's precious drinking water to a single private business for recreation.

As City water prices go up and Flagstaff is threatened to run out of water by 2050, Arizona Snowbowl Ski Business has been offered $11 million tax payer dollars by the USDA to subsidize their plan to make fake snow. This amounts to a corporate bailout for a business located outside of city limits. Visit www.truesnow.org for more info.

We have a chance to stand for our future and respect.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC MEETING:
When: August 30th at 5:30PM
Where: Sinagua High School
Located at 3950 East Butler Avenue Flagstaff, AZ.

PRAYER VIGIL & RALLY BEFORE:
4PM at Fox Glenn Park (4200 E. Butler Ave)

TAKE ACTION NOW!
Urge Flagstaff City Council to VOTE NO DRINKING WATER FOR SNOWMAKING!
