Thank you again for agreeing to join us for Drought and Heat Waves: Preparing for Metro-Phoenix’s Uncertain Future at the Arizona Science Center on Saturday, September 16, 2017. Please do not share these logistics with others, as we have selected only the number of people that we can accommodate from our applicant pool.
Below you will find an agenda and links to survey, documents, direction and transportation information. It is very important that you arrive no later than 8:00AM and check in at the public lobby for the CREATE space, so the program can begin promptly at 8:30 AM. We will begin at 8:30 am in the Dorrance Planetarium and then move to the CREATE Public Hall for the duration of the day. There will be signs and volunteers to direct you.
