She will be in Willcox, across the hall from the Health Department, at the U of A conference room March 24 from 1 to 4 p.m.

Wesleyan volunteer program started
Wesleyan Preschool and Childcare Center, serving the children and families of Willcox since 1990, has established a volunteer program to provide service opportunities for the community.
A gift of your time, be it an hour or two or three on a regular basis, would be a blessing - to the children, the community, and to you. These children are our future, we believe in them, and want them to have a well-rounded experience.
If you feel called to volunteer in any way, please call O'Mara Alexander at 520.204.2349 or Susan Coder at 502.384.2740 for more information on opportunities available.

Willcox TEA Party set for April 14
Tax Day is almost here! The Second Willcox TEA Party will be Wednesday, April 14 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kiva Room of the Best Western Plaza Inn.
There are many issues being voted on by Congress that will not only raise the taxes we must pay, but will put our nation into such a state of indebtedness that our children and grandchildren will be the ones paying for what we are spending today. We and our posterity are 'Taxed Enough Already'. The Willcox TEA Party Committee welcomes anyone, regardless of party, who would like to participate.
Bring your best "homemade" signs to show off. Gather your thoughts on your favorite issue or government in general and prepare a short speech or just come to listen. There will be a light dinner served.
We had a successful TEA Party in December. Over 100 concerned citizens and dignitaries attended and it was very worthwhile. Please come to learn from county and state leaders and share your ideas and passion for preserving Liberty and Freedom in this great United States of America.

" On March 17, 2010 at the Northern Cochise County Democrats, meeting at the TA Travel Stop, you will have an opportunity to meet and speak with one of the most dynamic candidates for state office. Sam Wercinski who is running for Secretary of State, is a breath of fresh air in the murky atmosphere created by the current republican administration and legislature. It is highly recommend that all interested parties attend, no matter your politics you will obtain a fresh perspective on issues affecting Arizona "
