Ruidoso's Unique Food Collection Project

In Ruidoso I learned of a unique twist to holiday food collection. The Ruidoso Rotary Clubs holiday food collection is for infants. The club’s member set-up collection points near major grocery and department stores during the holiday season and provide shoppers with a list of what is needed (i.e. pampers, formula and clothing). This project and several other club projects are funded by the club’s enchilada dinner. I’m looking forward to attending this year’s dinner scheduled for October. My meeting with the board was over dinner at the Cattle Baron. In addition to club issues we also discussed the impact of tourism and the racing season on the local economy.
