Creativity Matters, June 25 Newsletter

…the week in @CreativeABQ & environs, which could include #Mountainair if any group cared to take notice & post to the calendar or submit an article. 

On the spike: final June reminders (June 27 TNT Fun Trip #505-353-0888, June 28 deadline to register for Estancia Valley Relay for Life; blowout MHS Donation Dance, June 30 ~ my personal vote for "don't miss" event of holiday cycle)) and surveying July in brief. If no answers email (a Town thing) or sends copy for Jubilee, I'll go with los sanfirmines July 7. Oodles more fun anyway if you can spring for the ticket to Pamplona: I've done both so know. On the trip over, do read The Sun Also Rises. Rumor has it there will be a mid-July iCreate musical event: again no flier or even timely updates. Try checking the NM Tourism Calendar.
