JULY 8 TH for JU LY 20 th edition Desert Messenger News Email: editor@DesertMessenger.com 928-916-4235 www.DesertMessenger.com The Salvation Army happenings We are going on vacation in a unique manner this summer. Store will be closed for shopping the first full week of July. We will be closed Tuesday July 5th, Wednesday July 6th, and Thursday July 7th. We will do the same, for the first full week of August. Closed Tuesday August 2nd, Wednesday August 3rd, and Thursday August 4th. Get the idea? In September we will be closed Tuesday September 6th, Wednesday September 7th, and Thursday September 8th. We thought this would give our vol- unteers days off spread out through- out the summer months and still provide for customers' needs with- out too much of an inconvenience.
