Dateline: Saturday, September 13, 2014 – Columbus NM



Today, Saturday, September 13, 2014, dawned unseasonably cool and cloudy as Columbus residents and various local area organizations set up their tables and display booths in the old school’s Gym Building. This was the first Palomas (Mexico) – Columbus joint bi-national Fiesta Day – and it was a pronounced success, with the Gym facility being heavily populated with local Columbus, Palomas and Deming citizens, who even witnessed the crowning of this year’s new “Miss Columbus.” Volunteering to staff the FASF table at the event were FASF members Dr. Kathleen Martín, July McClure, Roy Mantei and Ric Lambart. As locals stopped to inquire about the FASF, some became enthusiastic enough to sign up as new members.
Please let any one of the Board members know if you’d also like to help out on any of our upcoming public events. It’s fun and one gets to meet lots of interesting visitors – and maybe even help them see the many good reasons to join the FASF. The next big event at which we’ll need all the volunteers we can muster will be at the Amigo Airsho, at Santa Teresa International Jetport on November 1 and 2nd of this coming November. As of this date we only have five (5) volunteers signed up, so please join the Air Show crew. We need your help!
