This Week: Changing the Way We Live
Friday, September 3, 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm
Sunday, September 6, 10:30 am
We know the Central Valley faces daunting challenges, from health and education disparities to water shortages and poor air quality. Without changes to the status quo, our problems will only get worse as the region grows. Today we turn the focus on you and look at ways valley residents can make changes – at home, at work and in the community – to help improve the region’s future.
