The events of January 8, 2011 shook our community, affecting each of us deeply. It was a horrible day.

But in the days and months afterward, our community came together in a way it never had before. We supported each other, leaned on each other, and generally looked out for one another. The sense of togetherness was tangible.

BEYOND is a community-wide event to commemorate the anniversary of January 8th, celebrate the spirit of togetherness we felt in the days and months afterward, and re-commit ourselves to working together to build a stronger community every day.

To register now for the numerous events on January 7, 2012, go online at http://www.beyond-tucson.org/events/. An additional 10 “user submitted activities” are online as well. Below is a list of the most of the events, from Sahuarita & Green Valley to Oro Valley.
