Art Center, Civic Center Go On Hiatus
The Art Center and the Civic Center will be having a hiatus for two weeks in August. This is in an effort to trim costs wherever possible. The Art Center will be closed from Aug. 9-23.

The Civic Center will be closed Aug. 6-18. They will also have customer service representatives available by phone at 373-5040 for rentals at the Civic Center.
Civic Center Welcomes 'Jesus Jam'
Once reopened, the Civic Center welcomes Jesus Jam at 7 p.m. Aug. 20, featuring Fireflight and Silverline. Tickets are $10 advance general admission, $14 day of the show general admission, and $8 each for groups of 10 or more and can be purchased at KCFY, The Ark, and Audio Einsteins. The Civic Center doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
Take Pride In Yuma
There were 54 cases of graffiti abated the week of Aug. 10-17; there were 55 the prior week.
Graffiti cleanup and vandalism currently costs the Yuma taxpayers over $200,000 per year. Please help us reduce vandalism by reporting incidences of crime to 78-Crime (782-7463) and graffiti to the Graffiti Busters hot line, 329-2828. If you witness a crime in progress, call 911.
