AROUND TOWN

🚗 The City of Flagstaff is seeking community feedback for art that will adorn the Milton Underpass as part of the Downtown Mile Project. The underpass will provide a gateway into downtown and you can give input to help create something meaningful in a space many of us pass through regularly. Find the themes and participate in the survey at: connect.flagstaff.az/miltonunderpass.

👉 Both libraries will be closed for Easter on Sunday the 20th.

Connections

💞 I usually reserve this space for volunteer opportunities or community resources, but today I’m asking for connections for myself. I love putting this community newsletter and it’s growing quickly. Building up sponsors is the next thing I need to do in order to keep it going. I was pondering this by myself when I remembered - I have over 1300 locals here I could ask for help with brainstorming!

So - do you know of businesses or people who would be a good fit to advertise in Flagstaff Inspires? Do you yourself wish to become a sponsor? Just hit reply to let me know, or send an email to [email protected].

Thanks for your help! Together so we can support local businesses and organizations and make more cool things happen in Flagstaff.

Stay Inspired!

If you found today’s email informative, interesting or helpful, please pass it along to the friend who has the best laugh, and the one who makes you laugh the hardest.

I am happy to hear from readers. You can hit reply or drop a line here → [email protected].
