ECTU and NMCFR reach fundraising goal
Great news New Mexico’s first Casting for Recovery event is fully funded. Our combined goal of $15,000 has been reached and exceeded. Our two organizations have joined forces to raise almost $25,000. The extra money will allow us to do some special things for participants and presenters. We should also take advantage of this momentum to start planning the next Casting for Recovery Event.

Red River Clean Up
The Enchanted Circle hosted a river clean up on the Red River Oct. 3rd. Members picked up 13 large bags of trash and some big items such as tires and t-posts. Overall members were surprised by how little trash was found between Junebug and Fawn Lakes campgrounds. Big thanks to all who donated time, food, gloves and bags.
