Thank you to all for a great fall fundraiser event
Thank You Santa Fe for a fabulous evening on November 5th with Jimmy Santiago Baca at the Scottish Rite Center. “It seemed like the whole town turned out… and boy does Mr. Baca know how to tell a story.” one guest was quoted as saying after the event.
Guests enjoyed homemade appetizers and conversation with Mr. Baca before he read excerpts from his books and told stories. The event was able to bring guests from many backgrounds together to learn more about the issues facing youth and Youth Shelters.
Youth Shelters would like to thank all the sponsors for this event including: Hutton Broadcasting, El Gancho Fitness Swim and Racquet Club, New Mexico Bank and Trust, Los Alamos National Bank, Gary Friedman, Esq. of Cassutt, Hays and Friedman, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Century Bank, Paper Tiger, The Reporter, Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse, Harry’s Roadhouse Cafe the ARTMAN and The Scottish Rite Center of Santa Fe.
