The coordinated effort resulted in more than 6,000 items being donated to 50 different local charities throughout the country.

The food, donated by employees throughout the companys locations in its service area, was contributed to local charities Oct. 23. In a land of plenty, no one should go hungry, but some do, said Bill Roberts, Citizens Communications director of communications. As Citizens employees, we can help our communities to ease that stark reality through Citizens for Citizens Autumn Harvest food drive. The food will enable local shelters to help feed hungry children, adults, families and elderly people. The charitable event was scheduled to coincide with national Make a Difference Day, on Oct. 24. Citizens Communications, one of the nations largest community-base- d communications providers, offers local telephone, advanced calling features and long distance services to its 1 million customers in 12 states and Internet, cellular, and teleconferencing in selected markets.

Every fall a small group of writers gathers in Moab, to focus their pens on inspirational and creative writing about the natural world, and particularly the Southwest and the Colorado Plateau. They explore the vital connections between human communities and the environment, and work to identify ways their own writing can promote awareness, respect, and effective actions to sustain the earth. They are guided each year in small workshops by three recognized and outstanding writers in their field. Most years the opportunity to participate is limited to the small number who register before the program is sold out. However, this year the public will have the opportunity to attend a free reading by the authors at the workshop site, Pack Creek Ranch. For more interested individuals there will also be a Meet the Authors reception from 5:30 - 7 p.m. at a private home near Pack Creek. This reception is a fundraiser for future workshop scholarships. The entrance fee is $20. You do not have to attend the reception to attend the free reading. The Desert Writers Workshop is sponsored by the Utah Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Back of Beyond Books.
