Information on the 2019 LSR is below and the full schedule of events can be found at http://www.acblunit174.org/Flyers/2019_LSR_Final.pdf . My wife and I were in Sedona Arizona last month and we went on a Full Moon hike at Sedona State Park. We started at the Visitors' Cen ter about an hour before sunset and were led by an experienced guide through the park and up to the top of a small mountain just before sunset. We were able to see the sun set behind the beautiful red rock mountains and then turn around 1 and watch the full moon rise in the east. It was spectacular and definitely an "ooh and aah" moment. One of the hikers was from the area and said "we see this all the time…" Well, that got me thinking. How many times do we do or see something all the time and not see the goo d in the moment? My learning from that comment is to try not to forget the awesomeness all around us and to recognize the good things that are happening.

It has been fully used in the following pages."
