We are working on a video series for Rotary del Sol talking about what our club means to us in particular. Stay tuned!

An update on the NM Governors Ball (mainly for members)

Our event chair, Paul Layer, sends word that preparations for the Ball are coming along well. Table sales and auction items are progressing, the band has selected its music and is excited about coming to New Mexico, and a few rooms are still available at the Tamaya.

If you have information on attendees to enter or if you’d like more information about the Governors Ball, one of the best fundraising events in New Mexico, please visit http://www.nmgovernorsball.org and help us raise money for children’s charities.

testing another location at this week’s meeting

Above is the link for a map to Presbyterian Medical facility. Within
that building is the Meals on Wheels dining room where we will hold
our meeting. Signs will direct you there from the main lobby.

The address is 5901 Harper, located just north of San Mateo and east
of the NB frontage road of I-25.

Addendum: The “cafeteria” is most easily found by driving to the north (back) of the Presbyterian building.  The front main door may not be open at the time we meet.  We will post signs along the hallways to help.

Clark Flynn, 1941-2009

Our club has lost one of its own, Clark Flynn, who was a charter member. He will be missed, and our thoughts are with his family. A memory book is online at:
