RC Ruidoso Co-Sponsor reception for UNM Football Team

Very cool invite.  The Village of Ruidoso through the efforts of Rotarian Katie Kmetz and others helped bring the UNM Football program training camp to Ruidoso.  This is the third initiative/event that I have witnessed Katie Kmetz direct.  She, as always, knocks it out of the park.  It was really exciting to see all of the families, children, and UNM Football fans gather at the Lodge at Sierra Blanca for a huge reception. There was free bbq for all attendees.  

This was also the second time in the past three months that I was able to have conversation with Head Coach Mike Locksley.  I think he is a very approachable and personable guy.  He and his wife Kia are very down to earth and easy to talk to.  It was nice to see him directing all of the fans that would come up to him to the rest of the team who were all willing to take a minute to sign the team poster.  I was very impressed with Locksley and his staff.  

 I also got to spend some time speaking with the 'Voice of the Lobos' Scott Galetti.
