The Beginning of Event Season
September is when events start ramping up! It gives us many things to look forward to, such as Native American Recognition Day (NARD), and the Walk for O'odham & Piipaash. Enjoy a day full of fun, food, and tradition celebrating NARD at Two Waters. Just a few days later, you can join in the Walk, which brings attention to the O'odham and Piipaash peoples and the culture. This year also brings all sorts of important election activities, such as attending forums so you can get a better grasp on who you'd like to vote for. The more you attend, the more wonderful Community connections you can make.
