Snakes And Other Pests
The more we understand the desert snakes and critters that share our community, the safer we can be. We would like to review the most common venomous snakes and desert critters in our community, how to recognize them, where they are commonly found, and what to do if you are bitten or stung. I have prepared a PDF for you to reference. Critters.pdf

“We live in a beautiful place – don’t let fear of snakes and critters keep you from enjoying it!”

Arizona Summer and high heat is just around the corner – please help spread awareness of the dangers of high heat to our visiting friends and relatives, especially those taking medications that can raise the risk of heat-related illness.

Summer temperatures will soon be upon us and with that come high energy bills. Governor Hobbs and the Department of Economic Security (DES) have launched Power AZ, a new program providing critical utility assistance to Arizonans. If someone you know needs help paying their electric bill, please refer them to the website provided below for more information, including how to apply.
