Arizona Centennial
SESSION 2 REVIEW
What are the Resources?
Other than money, list the resources we have that will make the centennial work.
It made good sense that at the point when this unique representation of cultural institutions from around the state had gathered for a specific planning purpose, we should review the rich and varied resources that already were at our disposal.
