About Tai Chi: Tai chi has existed since ancient times as an exercise to improve health. It is a series of quiet supple movements—the quiet to cultivate the spirit; the supple to cultivate the body. This gentle exercise is performed in a calm and peaceful manner, emphasizing relaxation, balance, and coordination. Said to have begun in Taoist monasteries of China as a way to improve health, Tai chi for some is an avenue to understanding Taoism and experiencing its essence of harmony and flow. For others, it is a practice that improves balance and flexibility. For still others, it is the gentlest of the martial arts. What will it be for you?

Workshop with Steve Valencia
Saturday, September 11th 2:00 pm
Growing unemployment is unacceptable. Why do some people think that there are only so many jobs? We must demand the feds fund schools and local government services; stimulate the economy, and put workers back to work creating a new 21st century sustainable infrastructure. Let's build a grassroots movement for jobs!

supporting, maintaining and celebrating locally owned businesses throughout the state of Arizona. LFA educates citizens, stakeholders, business
leaders, and legislators about the significant environmental, economic, and cultural benefits of strong local economies.
After each session of the Arizona Legislature comes to an end, we hear: "It cannot possibly get any worse." Well, it can, and it did during the 2010 Legislative Session. Particularly troubling was the lack of support from the legislative leadership or the governor for protection of Arizona’s groundwater, rivers and streams, and for maintaining our state parks system. Chapter Director Sandy Bahr discusses these and other issues from the session, and talks about candidates we support in November who, with our help, can create an Arizona Legislature that makes the grade when it comes to environmental protection.
