Thank You Flagstaff

Further Shore wants to extend a heartfelt "Thank You" to New Frontiers Natural Marketplace and everyone who went shopping on 5% Wednesday. Your purchases helped to raise funds that will be utilized for our TLC (Tender Loving Care) Client Support Program, offering natural therapeutic services, counseling and advocacy for persons with serious illness and end of life concerns. 5% Wednesday happens once a month at New Frontiers so watch for that day to support other wonderful Flagstaff charities! Additional "Thanks" to Judy Springer, Susanne One Love, Frances Riemer, Nikki Baldwin, Meg Leander and Penny Cook for greeting the public through out the day at our information table.

Our volunteer training, Bridging the Gap will be offered the first 2 weekends in April. Please visit our website and take a look at the calendar for more information. We will be adding to this page as programs evolve. Thank you again for your support of this precious work.

Bone Dance Pictures 2010

OK, I know it's not 2010 (it's not even January) and these pictures are a long time coming, but better late than never. And there are some good ones in there.

Our 2010 was a great success and great fun.

Thanks again Jim for wielding the camera.
