    logo_mitzvahday2Sedona AZ (March 25, 2015) – Please save the date for the 8th annual Mitzvah (Good Deed) Day to be held on Sunday, May 3, 2015. Everyone is invited to participate in this community-wide intergenerational, interfaith, spirit-led day of community service in Sedona and the Verde Valley.

    Rabbi Alicia Magal, Mitzvah Day chair, said the volunteer day presents an opportunity for organizations to come together and help those in need in the community. “It is not only helpful to our non-profit organizations, veterans, and seniors, but it is fun to do these good deed projects in groups on this special day of volunteering,” said Rabbi Magal.

    “We also hope to inspire a spirit of volunteerism throughout the year,” said Kent Ellsworth, Mitzvah Day co-chair and Executive Director of Verde Valley Caregivers. “Assisting those who need our help on that day and thereafter, strengthens the caring community we are building.”

    Mitzvah Day is funded, in part, by a grant from the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona, local faith groups, and individuals. To volunteer for a project call (630) 624-0143 or email: mitzvahdaysedona@gmail.com.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
