So far the contractors and workers have been courteous and helpful, in mak- ing our passage as convenient as they possibly can. It's often a lon- ger drive when they are working but most of the time they make as easy as they can for local traffic. I hope the freight truck driver coming to the Food Bank doesn't get confused. Elmer London Quartzsite CEMETERY THANKS The Cemetery Board and the Cem- etery Dept. would like to give a big thank you to the Garden Club for donating four metal sculptures to the Hi Jolly Cemetery. The Parks Dept. has planted them in cement with rebar in the upper north-west corner of the cemetery. They look fantastic. Thank you again for your support and donation. THANKS FOR SUPPORT I'd like to say "major thanks" to Mark Lauer, Louise Hockley, Dee Sheehan, Cindy Martin, and Ashtyn. They all have been so awe- some and are so caring; they've done so much stuff for my fur an- gels and me, thank you for every- thing you have done this month. Glenda Kae Hines year round resident Arizona Western College (AWC) Quartzsite Campus would like to improve our Life Enrichment class- es to offer intellectually stimulating non-credit courses for adults in La Paz County. Courses will cover a wide range of subjects and will be designed to meet the physical, intellectual and social needs of the community. These courses will be taught by instructors who are experts in their field. If you are interested in teaching and / or have an idea for an enrich- ment course at AWC, please call our office or email Robin Cooper at rcooper@azwestern.edu or call 928-927-8299.
