    New Retail Store, Job Connection and Donation Center Grand Opening

    logo_goodwillSedona AZ (February 20, 2013) – Goodwill of Northern Arizona is pleased to announce the grand opening of a new and bigger Retail Store, Job Connection and Donation Center in Sedona. These centers will be staffed with 12 Goodwill® team members who provide assistance to residents of Sedona and the surrounding community who are unemployed and need help finding a job or getting a GED, as well as providing a convenient location to donate clothing, house wares, electronics, and other gently used items from the public. These items will be sold in Goodwill stores, and the revenues will fund job-training programs, and community based services, such as GED preparation, financial education, transportation and youth mentoring to residents of Sedona.

    A Grand Opening for the new Retail Store, Job Connection and Donation Center will take place Wednesday February 27, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.  Elected officials, community leaders, Goodwill representatives and the Chamber of Commerce will be present for the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.

    “The revenues generated from the sale of merchandise in Goodwill stores support the training and employment programs offered by Goodwill Industries of Northern Arizona,” said David Hirsch, President and CEO. “The Job Connection and Donation Center, located at 166 Coffee Pot Drive in the Basha’s Shopping Center will provide job training that helps put those who are unemployed to work, create jobs, and provide local residents a convenient way to donate the things they no longer need, diverting those items from landfills.”

    Goodwill relies on the support of the communities that it serves to donate gently used clothing and household goods to sell in its stores. The Job Connection is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and donations are accepted seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Goodwill Industries of Northern Arizona values its community partnerships that help to strengthen and expand program services that help Goodwill fulfill its mission.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
