<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#1F497D">What a cool connection! As a native of Flagstaff, Arizona (I lived there for my 10 most impressionable years – the tweens and teens), I’m so happy to see someone
interested in doing this kind of work there. My mother still lives there (she worked at NAU for nearly 30 years) and I will ask her for connections and ideas.

of OSTz (several led by Raffi - thanks for posting this, Raf:) and I am considering organizing one regarding a community center that is looking to expand its operations in Flagstaff. I'm very interested in connecting with OST folks in the area and finding
information on OSTz that have been held in a "community organizing" framework. This information would would help me compose a research paper on the project.<br>
<br>
I have two requests:</span><span style="font-size:14.5pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
