Our Cooperation Aa3oc.if-.ticn. in
the A~tnru3l:r Valley is c. nev
icier to the rvo" ye Auer icon,

of people nho c r.ic from certain
states in the U.S. also, v/o have
some who adhere to one political
party and some v;ho think that
another is the best. These feet*
ors have a tendency to divide our
members into diff rent groups and
to cruse c certain amount of con
