On this episode of Sedona Life with Stephen Hanks (on KAZM/Mellow Mountain Radio) the focus is on "Friends" who protect and preserve our local Sedona/Verde Valley environment in Arizona. My in-studio guests are Friends of the Forest President Jerry Checchia and VP Melissa Pontikes, and Friends of the Verde River Board President Jeanne Swarthout.

Special thanks to my August shows sponsor the Sedona Heritage Museum and my banner designer Dick Fisher of E-MergeOnlineMarketing.
