Official Visit # 3, Chama
July 11, 2012
Today was a traveling and
visiting day. Lynne and I left
Farmington at 8:45 to travel East 104 miles to Chama for a 12:00 noon
meeting. We couldn’t help stopping along
the way to take pictures of the area and those special vistages of Northern
NM. About 40 miles from Chama we were
detoured into Colorado along a dirt road and back into Chama from the
north. A little thing like an armed
individual firing an assault rifle at law enforcement was the cause of the
detour. Ah, Northern New Mexico.
Our welcome to the Rotary Club of
Chama was very warm. We were very
pleased with the turnout and so excited to hear about the activities of this
club. How many community members of this
valley would be without if not for this club?
President Terry opened the meeting with announcements. I was blown away to find out about the Chilly
Cross Country Ski race this club sponsors; a three day race. This club promotes and works this event with
six committees working together to make it happen. My hats off to you Chama.
At the end of the meeting, it was
my honor to present Lt. Gov. Paul Edwards with a Paul Harris Fellow. This is a well-deserved honor for a wonderful
Rotarian. After the meeting, Paul
Edwards led Lynne and me on a tour of the area.
Beautiful, beautiful country; amazing people; a wonderful day in Rotary.
