Rotary Club of Las Cruces Rio Grande Dress A Child Fundraiser
Michele and I were invited to the Dress a Child Fundraiser held by the Rotary Club of Las Cruces Rio Grande Club. What a wonderful event that raised over $15,000 for children in their community. The event was a silent auction, dinner and a live auction. The club has two fundraisers to support this project. $100 is spent on each child to buy clothes and shoes and so many children are benefited by this club. A very special "thank you" to District Secretary Loren and Nancy Kuehne for hosting Michele and I. Thank you Rotary Club of Las Cruces Rio Grande for allowing us to be a part of it!
Rotary Club of Portales
Thank you Rotary Club of Portales for such a wonderful visit. The club is very active in their community and continues to make a difference. They are in the process of upgrading the local Rotary Park, sponsored two students to attend RYLA, sponsoring an outbound Youth Exchange Candidate and supports the Rotary Club of Clovis with the Belize Wheelchair project. The club holds an annual pork chop lunch fundraiser that helps pay for all their projects. President Chris Wood has this club focused and motivated. Great job!

Every member of this club is active and getting so many things done for their community. Keep up the good work Rotary Club of Mountainair!
