Al-Anon is for family and friends affected by someone else's drinking or drug use.

You're invited to join a free, virtual community of practice created for passionate nonprofit pros who are making a difference in New Mexico. This is a space for those in the social sector to share resources and practical tools to work through the chaos that is 2025.

Connect to gather and share insights, discuss what’s working and what isn’t, and gain real knowledge and support from a supportive network of peers.

By participating, you can:
Not feel alone in the tumult • Build meaningful connections • Share and gain knowledge • Enhance your skills with real-world, actionable strategies • Tackle common challenges with the collective wisdom of the community• Collaborate on impactful projects that move the needle in the social good space

This community of practice will meet from 12 noon to 1:15 p.m. MDT the last Wednesday of each month from April to September:
• April 30
• May 28
• June 25
• July 30
• Aug 27
• Sept 24

While this event is free, please RSVP to hold your place.

This community of practice emerged as a direct result of Prospera Partner’s Disrupting the Path: A New Way Forward for NM's Social Sector conversations where attendees expressed the desire for more opportunities to connect with other nonprofit organizations and of course, the people working within them. It’s more important than ever to stay connected to community!

Generously supported by the Mind the Gap Fund, a donor advised fund committed to systems change and equity in the nonprofit sector, this event is part of BIG – Bold Impact for Good, a fiscally sponsored program of the nonprofit Community Ventures. Presented in partnership with New Mexico Thrives, an ally member of the National Council of Nonprofits.

The Share the Road Visibility Ride helps build awareness that bicyclists and motorists can share the road safely and that commuting to work on a bicycle is a viable transportation choice. Commuting by bicycle has multiple benefits. Save money by riding just one day a week and cut 20% of your weekly fuel cost and save automobile maintenance expenses. Fight pollution by using emission free transportation. Stay fit and use your commute time as your workout instead of paying to go to a gym. Enjoy your commute and arrive at work refreshed and full of energy; ride off work stress on the way home.

The Visibility Ride is a real-life, real-time demonstration of how bicyclists can ride with traffic safely. We bicycle together on the second Monday once a month to help raise awareness among motorists of the presence of bicyclists, of motorists' ability to share the road safely with bicyclists, and of how bicyclists behave while driving in traffic. The Ride is led by League of American Bicyclists Certified Instructors, and bicyclists that wish to learn tips for better commuting skills are invited to participate.

The Ride leaves the Las Cruces Railroad Museum at the west end of Las Cruces Avenue at 7:15am. The ride goes up Las Cruces to Espina, across to Kansas, up to Solano, continues to University, then back on Espina to Las Cruces and ends at Grounded on the corner of Main and Las Cruces at about 8:00am. We ask that all bicyclists wear helmets and follow the rules of the road. Join us for coffee at Grounded if you can't make the ride.

Winter is the season when ducks, geese, and other waterfowl fly south to enjoy our warmer ponds and rivers. To help you enjoy this annual migration, the Mesilla Valley Audubon Society will teach a waterfowl identification class on January 13, 2026.

The class will start at 6:30 p.m. and run about 90 minutes.

It will be held in the Creative Arts Room of Las Cruces Village.

An optional overnight field trip to Bosque del Apache, January 17 and 18, to practice identification skills is included.

The class is appropriate for beginner and intermediate birders. To reserve your spot, email mesillavalleyaudubon@gmail.com.
