Sharlot Hall Museum - Funding Request PSA
Arizona's Sharlot Hall Museum is a Prescott landmark and a vital revenue generator for the region. However, recent State budget cuts threaten the Museums viability -- and we need your help to make sure that we can continue to serve the community. --- The State has cut the Museums budget by nearly $100,000 already this year, and has indicated additional cuts -- totaling about a quarter of a million dollars -- for next fiscal year. --- Although were already significantly understaffed, well be forced to reduce payroll further. --- These cuts will result in fewer educational programs, reduced hours, and diminished services. All this adds up to a net loss for our community -- a community that depends heavily on tourism funds generated by organizations such as ours. --- To remain a meaningful cultural attraction and to contribute to the regions economy, Sharlot Hall Museum needs State funding restored. --- Please, PLEASE contact Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and State legislators with this vital message -- Restore funding for Sharlot Hall Museum. Thank you. ---- Contact Gov. Brewer: http://azgovernor.gov/contact.asp ---- Contact Arizona Elected Officials: http://www.azleg.gov.membershipRoster.asp

Northern Germany - Island Travel
Wangerooge, the easternmost of Germanys East-Frisian Islands is easily reached by train & ferry, and also by small plane. Numerous restaurants, bed & breakfasts, and hotels make it the perfect place for a family vacation, and the wide sandy beach is a wonderful playground. Unfortunately, World War II did not spare the island because of its strategic location to the Navy port of Wilhelmshaven. In the spring of 1945 many historic buildings were destroyed during a bombing raid. But, once again Wangerooge is a Northern Delight!--------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------Wangerooge ist die östlichste der Ostfriesischen Inseln, und ist per Bahn und Fährschiff, aber auch per Flugzeug einfach zu erreichen. Etliche Restaurants, Pensionen und Hotels laden zu einem Familienurlaub ein, und der breite Sandstrand bietet sich an zum Sonnen, Wandern und Ballspielen. Leider hat der 2. Weltkrieg auch Wangerooge nicht verschont wegen seiner strategischen Lage zum Marinehafen Wilhelmshaven. Im Frühjahr 1945 wurden viele historische Bauten während eines Bombenangriffes zerstört. Aber heute ist Wangerooge wieder eine Perle des Nordens, ein Northern Delight.
