Community Action/Public Policy Groups Offer Education on Election Issue

 

The city of Scottsdale’s expectation to revise its General Plan has created a furor of pro and con arguments among citizens.  There have been so many heated exchanges that it’s difficult to sort out whether this revision in its present form will benefit the public vision of Scottsdale.  Do we want less open space, more infill projects, taller buildings, and higher density that are the norm for a contemporary city, or do we want to retain the character of Scottsdale as a Western town with more open space and less ambitious building projects?  Join in at the next Community Action/Public Policy Meeting on Monday, February 6, 2012, to discuss the pros and cons of the new Plan in order to be better prepared to make a voting decision before the election in March.  The meeting will be held from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the home of Jean Johnson.  Please RSVP to Jean.

Arizona Women’s Conference Slated for March

 

The Arizona Women’s Conference will be held on March 24 at Scottsdale Community College. AAUW Scottsdale is a partner.

 

Attendance is being promoted at AWC because it will inform, inspire, and ignite women in the world of work, especially those in mid-career.  “Bringing women together to share their passions, ideas, strategies, and successes” is the mission.

 

Please inform your daughters, grand-daughters, nieces, and friends still in the world of work about this special event.  Twenty-four workshops and keynote speakers target women sixteen years and older.

 

More about this event will be forthcoming.
