U.S. Senator Jeff Flake addressed Sedona Rotarians during a joint meeting of both clubs on March 31. Senator Flake, who has served six terms in the House, has served the past two years in the Senate, replacing Senator Jon Kyl. Flake was raised on a ranch in Snowflake, Ariz. and said he understands the importance of a healthy watershed. He added that Arizona has planned well. Other issues he discussed included immigration and foreign relations. Thanks goes to Allen Everett, instrumental in inviting Senator Flake, and to Rod Abbott for scheduling his appearance.
