Official Visit # 12, Estancia
July 25, 2012

Leaving Taos for a three (3) hour drive to Estancia and a noon meeting; that’s right, eat and run!  Leaving Taos and the green of northern New Mexico I traveled for three hours down the Rio Grande through Santa Fe and finally into Estancia and the desert I am used to living in.

Estancia is a small club with an incredibly big heart.  This is the home of the world famous “Punkin Chunkin”.  The majority of the members present were female.  Let’s see, me and two other members, outnumbered and probably out worked.  This club does so many things for the community; football game gate, scholarships, and much, much more.

President Victoria has stepped up as President another year, yes two years in a row.  What a Rotarian won't do to help the club.  My visit to this club was another favorite.  I was asked to give a PHF to a long time member who come to find out is a friend of all of my family in Silver City.  This was that special time that we met.  So very wonderful to speak to a club that has its stuff together and is not afraid to show it.  Estancia, you are amazing.

Is he really wearing pink again?
