Lordsburg Elks host senior breakfast
The Lordsburg Elks Lodge hosted an early morning breakfast for graduating seniors from Lordsburg
High School on Monday, May 18, 2015.The youth/drug awareness event rewarded the youth for their
years of hard work and featured guest speakers and prizes, along with a home cooked meal. Edgar
Gomez, below right, representing the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Department, spoke to the graduates
about the dangers of drinking and driving. In the days leading up to the breakfast, students partici-
pated in a scavenger hunt, identifying photos from
around the city of Lordsburg. Winning the scavenger
hunt was Anjuli Kvamme. Kvamme is pictured at left
with Lordsburg ElksYouth and Drug Awareness Chair-
man Maria Sanchez receiving her prize, a new laptop.
The contest was supported in part by the New Mexico
Elks Association's Drug Awareness Program.

Give Grandly event lives up to its name
by GWYNETH JONES/Silver
City Daily Press
SILVER CITY -- The Give
Grandly Event apparently lived
up to its name May 5 as represen-
tatives of dozens
of local non-
profit and chaff=
table groups
were racking up
sizable donation
totals from com-
munity mem-
bers.
By 5 p.m
the total stood at
$66,907.80 from
571 donors, with
hours of giving
still available
through the
11:59 p.m. dead-
line for this day
of local giving. Give and you
Martha
Egnal, represent-
ing the
Guadalupe
Montessori
School, said it
was "a great day.
It's come to-
gether really well." The school
was one of the top donation re-
cipients, with more than $4,000
in donations by midday, "and we
get to have music and yoga
classes," she said, referring to the
entertainment offerings which
provided a festive atmosphere at
Gough Park.
Mary Hotvedt, representing
Festival of the Written Word, ex-
pressed the philosophical view
seemingly shared by most of
those involved in the event.
"We do this because we love
this community. It's a community
that doesn't depend on things
being delivered to us; we make it
happen. We created these organi-
zations to meet the needs of the
community," she said.
The Grant County Commu-
nity Foundation had already re-
ceived enough donations to pay
for the wi-fi platform they pro-
vided for the day in the park. At
about 3 p.m Executive Director
Barret Brewer said total donations
were approaching $50,O00--
close to last year's $56,000-plus
total--not counting matching
funds of $9,000 pledged from
Freeport MacMoRan to a number
of organizations involved in edu-
prospects.
The statewide coalition of
community foundations plans to
hold the event again next year,
Brewer said. The foundations in
shall receive m Craig and Antonia
having a good day. After adopt-
ing out five dogs, the staff went
back to shelter to bring even
more dogs to the park to visit
with potential
new families. By
5 p.m the shel-
ter had raised
more than
$1,500, and
$240 had been
collected for the
Spay-Neuter
Assistance Pro-
gram.
Antonia
Smith laugh-
ingly said she
was banned
from the animal
Smith made a shelter -- ap-
donation and adopted a new four-legged family member from the
High Desert Humane Society during the Give Grandly event at
Gough Park.The new pup, held by Antonia, doesn't have a name
yet, but she will be joining Mousie, held by Craig, and two other
canine friends at the Smith household.

other parts of the state are under-
going some shifts and mergers, but
she fully expects the day of giv-
ing to survive and thrive.
Heidi Ogas of the High
Desert Humane Society was also
parently by her
husband Craig
-- because she
finds it hard to
resist adopting
new pets. But
together at the
park with their Chihuahua
"Mousie," they found a compat-
ible new canine friend to adopt.
The fee for spaying the new pet
"was totally worth it," she said.
