New Business
Memorial Run, October 2
Will start at Show Stoppers and end at the Corner Pocket. ABATE of New Mexico will sponsor the run to provide memorial plaques in the Botanical Garden for both David Fisher and Garrett Iverson. The funds collected will go toward helping the Iverson family. Angel has been coordinating the information, flyer, and donations. Charlene has been involved in the mountain area. We need volunteers to help sell hands. Please contact Angel at 281-8673. We are expecting this to be a big event so we need all the help we can get.
Battle of the Bands, October 15
The Ponderosa employees would like to sponsor a benefit for the victims of Hurricane Katrina after seeing ABATE of Louisiana's request for help on the internet. They will disperse all funds to fellow ABATE members in need. A discussion of ways to raise money resulted in the decision to do a "scavenger ride." Top and Diana volunteered to map it out. Each member is encouraged to donate one handmade item for the raffle/auction. If you can't possibly make something, buy something that looks handmade. The Ponderosa has volunteered to organize the bands. Duck volunteered Kim to make a flyer. Patty will be the contact person at 281-3493.
