Upcoming Events in June
We have two great events coming up in June and we're looking for participants and volunteers to add to the fun. First up is the Taste of Las Cruces on June 8, 2017 - for which Vic Villalobos is selling tickets. Don't wait too long or you may not get a seat! Next up is our "Habitat FORE Humanity" Golf Charity, taking place on June 10, 2017 at Sonoma Ranch Golf Club. More information?

Annual Yard Sale Results
Thanks to everyone who helped make our club's annual yard sale to support the Mesilla Valley Hospice, we raised nearly $7200, augmented by Eddie Binns to make it a total of $7500! According to Chris May, over the years, we've raised more than $182,000 for the hospice - NICE WORK! The Rio Grande Rotary Club, in conjunction with volunteers and staff at the Mesilla Valley Hospice, has been putting on the yard sale for 19 years. We appreciate everyone's help and welcome any and all ideas to make this event even more successful.
