What's new at El Caldito
Welcome!

This year, our club volunteered to help plant trees in the Las Cruces area.. It's just one of several ways we support family, youth & our community. 

The Rio Grande Rotary Club of Las Cruces (#1310) is an active group of men and women who like to have fun while enthusiastically participating in helping people in our community and throughout the world. We also welcome new members. 

We're pleased to share the news that Janet Acosta was chosen as our club's Rotarian of the Year in July, in appreciation for all she does for our club and especially for her dedicated commitment as the chair of our successful and fun D5520 Conference in Las Cruces this past spring. Janet, you're a rock star!

Here's another reason to congratulate Janet - she is one of just two Rotarians in District 5520 who has been recognized as an Emerging Rotary Leader, and will be sent by our district to represent us at Zone Training in Spokane, WA in mid-September. Congratulations to this fine club and community member.
We couldn't be more pleased to share that, thanks to the dedication of all of our club members, we raised more than $9500 to support the Dress the Child organization this past year! Here's our club President Elect, Ken Martin (left), presenting the check to Dress the Child Program Chair, Doug Boberg. Thank you to all members for your continued support.
 
 
Over 500 children participated and received much needed new clothing, Both Gadsden and Las Cruces/Doña Ana children benefitted and shopped with the help of volunteers from our club and community. Contact our club if you would like to help with this fun event! Click the above link to attend or Donate directly. For more information select the dropdown menu for Service Projects on this page.
We're excited to welcome our newest Rotarian, Gauge Burnett, to the Las Cruces Rio Grande Rotary Club! Gauge comes from a family of Rotarians and he is carrying on the tradition. What an honor to bring in this talented and community-service passionate member into our club!
 

 
Here is our Membership Chair, Chris May, leading the induction ceremony with Gauge. We look forward to a fine Rotary future with you, Gauge!
Our work in eradicating Polio worldwide is not yet done! You can help by joining the PolioPlus Society, a District program to promote individual giving to PolioPlus. Members of the Society agree to give $100 per year toward polio eradication until polio is wiped out of the world. It’s as simple as that!
