Thank you for all that you do to make Quartzsite a great town. A group called the Phone Tree is part of the Quartzsite Neighborhood Watch. What it does is check on the welfare of you every day. It can be done by a phone call or text. We all know someone who has fall- en and could not get up for some reason and laid there for days. This will hopefully eliminate that from happening. When you ask to join you will be asked a few questions and then you will check in every day before 9 am so we know you are ok. If you would like to be part of the Phone Tree call 480-286-8373. Thank you for the wonderful group of people who have been volunteer- ing to make this happen!
