Moody, Secretary, Quartzsite Historical Society Quartzsite Historical Society and Tysons Well Stage Station Museum would like to Thank the Community, Visitors, Guests of the museum, local merchants, and seasonal vendors for their support this past season.

Email quartzsitemuseum@gmail.com Thanks to generous donors, the Stuttering Foundation has donated books and DVDs to public librar- ies across the country, including the Quartzite Public Library. Stuttering Foundation books are directed to parents of children who stutter, adults who stutter, speech pathologists, pediatricians, family physicians, nurses, health care pro- fessionals, hospitals, schools, clinics, day-care centers, and all those con- cerned with the problem of stutter- ing. The DVDs feature some of the world's leading therapists with chil- dren who stutter. Since the original publication, Foundation materials have reached millions of individuals worldwide. More than three million Americans stutter, yet stuttering remains misun- derstood by most people," said Jane Fraser, president of The Stuttering Foundation. "Myths such as believing people who stutter are less intelligent or suffer from psychological problems still persist despite research refuting these erroneous beliefs." Since 1947, the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation has provided free mate- rials to public libraries nationwide. A library that will shelve them can e-mail info@stutteringhelp.org, or download a request form at http:// w w w . s t u t t e r i n g h e l p . o r g / l i b r a r - ies-information.

Run For The Wall® (also known as RFTW) is an organized cross-coun- try motorcycle ride to honor our vet- erans, their families and friends and to raise awareness of those still miss- ing – Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA). The ride, or "run" as many motorcyclists call it, starts in Ontario, California and ten days later ends at the Vietnam Me- morial Wall in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. We then have a 3-day "run" from D.C. to the Middle East Conflicts Wall in Marseilles, IL. "Wall to Wall". As of Tuesday morn- ing the southern route had over 400 riders registered. There are three "Coast to Coast" Routes that all start in Ontario, Cali- fornia and conclude at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Wall in Wash- ington, D.C. on the Friday of Memo- rial Day weekend. The fourth route "Sandbox", begins on Sunday of the Memorial Day weekend.
