⛺ Flagstaff Activities Beginning of September

TOGETHER WITH

Good morning, Flagstaff! From the reports I’m getting (and the scratchy throat starting today 😫) it seems like we’ve hit that ‘back to school everyone get sick’ time of year. Ugh! You know the drill - wash your hands and try not to spread it if you feel ill.

Today in Flagstaff Inspires:

• 🎖 From Combat to Composition - musical reflections on service & healing

• 🚲 Help make Flagstaff more bike friendly with a quick survey

• 🏐 Sign up for Adult Volleyball before teams fill up

Let’s go!
