Rotary Club of Mesilla Valley, Las Cruces

April 16, 6:45am:
Jim and I attended the Rotary Club of Mesilla Valley breakfast meeting in Las Cruces. We were there to do a program about Best of America by Horseback, our Mexico to Canada trail ride as well as the Lingap Center International Project that our Rotary Club in Jackson MI supports. (You can click on the link from this blog to learn more about the Lingap Center.)

The Mesilla Valley club has about 40 members. Several have retired there from the Midwest and many others are native to New Mexico and proud of their state. One couple who sat with us are each professors at New Mexico State University.

This club has an active RYLA, Rotary Youth Leadership group and had two visiting high school students whom they introduced. Their happy bucks go toward a scholarship fund for these students. We exchanged club banners after a very friendly meeting.

The rest of the day was spend at the second of our RV dealership stops.
