Las Cruces Board Gamers meets every Thursday at NMSU Corbett Center on the ground floor, at the windowed room across from Chick Fil e. We usually meet at NMSU though can also go to other areas depending on school schedule. We often favor medium-difficulty games (pandemic is a good example), and often have a wide variety of options for different tastes. Usually not as much "kill your opponent" games. Free and we'll have games so if you don't have one to bring, that's okay, just bring yourself!
Al-Anon is for family and friends affected by someone else's drinking or drug use.
Nomad Ensemble presents The Long Breath, a chamber music program that highlights the expressive power of sustained musical lines, close ensemble listening, and the emotional depth of acoustic performance. Built around the intimacy of strings and chamber collaboration, the concert invites audiences into a reflective musical experience shaped by resonance, movement, and the quiet intensity of shared sound.
The program presents pieces for flute, violin, viola, and piano in various groupings throughout the evening. This 'modular' ensemble concept permits programming works for instrumental combinations that do not have large independent repertoires and so tend to be marginalized through no fault of their prodigious creative and expressive merit. Among the truly engaging pieces here are three fantastic works by women–Mel Bonis, Tatiana Nikolayeva, and Ester Mägi.
