    logo_MATForceVerde Valley AZ (February 3, 2016) – MATFORCE and the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office announce the annual MATFORCE Youth Poster Contest. The 2016 theme is “Stand With Me, Be Drug Free.”

    Yavapai County youth, from age 5 to 18, are invited to enter the contest.  Winning posters will be used in official MATFORCE materials, such as school posters, prevention workbooks, website and for local or state media releases.

    20160203_MATFORCE-Youth-Poster-Contest-2016There are many cash prizes and ways to win. Two grand prize winners will be selected from the contest’s main categories:  grades K-6 and grades 7-12.  Each grand prize winner will receive $250.  Additionally, $25 Amazon gift cards will be awarded to the winners in each of seven other age categories. Honorable mention winners will receive a $10 Amazon gift card.

    Deputy Scott Reed, of the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office, said, “I am excited about this year’s poster contest and the new theme of ‘Stand With Me, Be Drug Free.’  It is a powerful tool for the health of our children.  Asking others to ‘Stand By Me’ helps youth build their own peer group that strives to stay away from the harm of drug or alcohol use.”

    Sedona chamber of Commerce
    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
