Main St. Quartzsite Open Tues. thru Sat. 9-3 928-927-4223 A group called the Phone Tree is part of the Quartzsite Neighbor- hood 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 fallen 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 won- derful group of people who have been volunteering to make this happen!
