We have been waiting for our beloved bingo games...great snack bar...and most of all—seeing our friends—to be started up again at the Roundup Lodge in Mimbres.
It is my understanding by word of mouth that Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's state gaming commission has told locals that they must be licensed to hold bingo and may not open a snack bar.
How is this (one of the FEW things for community) being under state rule supposed to keep from closing its doors permanently? Volunteers have spent hours remodeling and upgrading an old and beloved meeting spot!
