ONE Workshop: Phoenix, Arizona
On Saturday, Arizona ONE members gathered at the Barton-Burr Library downtown Phoenix to exchange ideas on educating their communities and reaching out to their elected representatives to do something about needless global poverty and preventable diseases.
Attendees addressed hand written letters to both Senator McCain and Senator Kyl asking them to urge Senator Cochran to ensure $56.65 billion is appropriated for the state and foreign operations bill. Immediately thereafter a highly engaged audience began planning two education and recruitment events through July.
Something tells me we can expect to see something a little different from ONE members in Arizona. Congrats on a successful workshop! We are all very excited about things to come.
