The 30th International AIDS Candlelight Memorial will be held on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 7 PM in the Pavilion at Young Park in Las Cruces, NM. For your comfort, you may want to bring a folding chair. Musical presentations, as well as some sharing with others, will be part of the evening’s program.
Presented by Red Ribbon Bash, a fiscally sponsored project of NMCF.
On display are over 40 portraits of Chimayosos that Don Usner has taken over the past few decades. Please come out to see the work and to support the museum (which is a great place) located in his great-great grandfather’s house on the Plaza del Cerro, just behind Ortega’s weaving shop.
