    100 Women Who Care AllianceSedona News – The 100 Women Who Care Sedona-Verde Valley Chapter hosted their first in-person Giving Circle for members on Monday, May 2 at The Elks Club in Sedona.  Members had the opportunity to hear from four past recipients: Verde Valley Caregivers, Manzanita Outreach, Big Brother & Big Sisters, and the Verde Valley Sanctuary and learn how their donations impacted the mission of the organization. 

    The three nonprofit finalists were Healthy World Sedona represented by Bev Bow; Healing Consciousness Foundation represented by Beth DuPree, MD; and Sedona-Oak Creek Educational Foundation  represented by Jeannette Bill.  Each presented their mission and reasons they should be selected to received the grant money.  Members voted for the nonprofit of their choice, and the Chosen Recipient was the Sedona-Oak Creek Educational Foundation, an organization that provides after school enrichment activities for children kindergarten through fifth grade.  

    The members then wrote a check directly to the nonprofit.  Those not present will be notified and write their checks.  When all checks are all collected, they will present the Foundation with an estimated $13,000.

    After the Giving Circle, many members, past recipients, and finalists attended an after-event to celebrate their accomplishments at a new Sedona venue, The Cabin, in uptown Sedona.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
