Notes, comments, coming events

Tommy (sorry don't know last name just that he is a musician and has a marvelous smile) is selling raffle tickets to raise money for the Ministry of Salvation's food mission. Tickets are $1 each. 6 for $5 or $10 for a book of 12. The food mission supports local families in need. You can arrange to buy tickets by calling Tommy at 847-2831 or emailing whoozyodaddy@uphi.net

Someone is taking down my "visit the original Mountainair Arts" flyers from the B St Market community bulletin - perhaps elsewhere as well. I've commented on this unfortunate trend earlier with reference to other flyers. Since informal posting "broadsheets" is Mountainair's standard publishing mode here, taking them down is censorship and vandalism - not to mention really bad manners and imminently childish. I have suspicions that I may or may not blog. So if you see anyone taking down a "visit the original Mountainair Arts" flyer, please tap him or her on the shoulder and ask if he or she is me. Report it to me for blogging and there's a free subscription in it for you... not to mention fame and gratitude.

UpHi closing down public access computer center. UpHi is not closing and will continue to provide wireless service, do installations and maintenance, repair and upgrade computers, upload software, sell computer accessories. The fate of UpHi hosted classes is uncertain, but I'll try to keep you posted. Originally, the local ISP planned to rent space at the Mountainair Campgrounds, but that did not come to pass.


Coming Attractions

MyBank Fund Raising for Ojo Peak Fire

Juanita Chavez reports, "We have opened each family an account so that people can donate. The families that lost their homes are Gilbert and Ursula Torres/Michael and Susan Walters. We also have "I survived the Ojo Peak Fire" t-shirts for sale here at the bank and those proceeds will also go to the families".

Dance, Saturday December 15, Dr. Saul Community building, 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Sponsored by Los Garrapatas (a local band playing Ranchera & Cumbia).

Christmas Cantata, December 16, 4 pm. Mountainair Community Choir, Mountainair Baptist Church. "Season of Wonder," written by Joseph Martin, narration by Pamela Martin, featuring Kathleen Ryan Clute on the piano and presented with the support of the Manzano Mountain Arts Council

ShareFest, December 20, Dr Saul Community Center. Tommy and Dennis assure me that ShareFest is still on and tell me it is great fun - they always show up with instruments. So come by the Dr Saul Community Center, visit, enjoy live music by local musicians. Open Mic Night. Live music - everyone encouraged to bring an instrument. Call Kay Stillion, 847-2301, for more information.

Come check it out. It's a nice little gathering that's growing with each meeting.

Shaffer Christmas Party, probably either Friday December 21 or 23 Saturday, December 23, but I am only guessing because no one sent me any information. Feel free to remind the front desk of the oversight next time you're by there.

Toys for Tots, December 23, Dr Saul Community Center

Ongoing thru January 16 - Cibola Arts' "Holidays Show" - our deepest appreciation to Steppin' Out for providing the information Cibola Arts members are either unwilling or incompetent to provide.
