Greetings Everyone,

Our speaker tomorrow is Malissa McClelland –Distinguished Dispensary. Malissa will discuss the legalization of marijuana and what it means for New Mexico. There are many kinds of products and she will tell us some things they are used for. Some people use products for medicinal benefits (anxiety or helping with sleep) or recreational benefits. Malissa said she will bring a sample of topical cream and she will welcome your questions.

Thank you to Marlene Batelle, our speaker last week. We loved hearing about hiking trips and fun places you can go to adventure.

Update: We had the dates wrong and our visitors from the Corrales Kiwanis Club will visit tomorrow. Maple Levine, our Lt. Governor for Div. 2, husband Don Levine (Past SW District Gov), Sue Hinchcliffe (past Lt. Governor), and her husband Glen.

The Board voted to approve 2 people for membership: Di Searle-employed by Guardian Angels and Mike Feazell-retired. Both are sponsored by Bernadette Alarid. They will be inducted at their earliest convenience.

A big thank you to everyone that came on Monday to the Farmington Boys & Girls Club to help try on and deliver the shoes to the kids. What a crew we had and some great characters like the Grinch and Belle and some wonderful community members and leaders. Also, thank you to those that came to the Bloomfield Club yesterday to help children there with their shoes. We had a large community support there with about a dozen police and fire crew members!

Please keep these upcoming dates in mind and consider signing up for these important events.

We will have the Sign-up for Clothes for Kids at the meeting tomorrow to start organizing volunteers; please sign-up to help us for November 2nd and 3rd.

We are in full gear for our annual Coats for Kids program and plan to hand out more coats than in previous years. Our event will happen at the Civic Center on November 12^th at 9am.
