September 13, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Unitarian Universalist Flower Ceremony"

"In 1923, over one hundred years ago, Norbert Čapek developed the flower ceremony. He asked his congregants to bring a flower to church—from their gardens, the field, or the roadside. Following the service, each person could take a flower from the vase—a different one than they had brought."

Today this ceremony is observed at many UU congregations worldwide. Besides celebrating the beauty of nature, the combination of many different flowers represents for us the beauty found in diversity. In many ways, flowers are like another symbol we have adopted, the rainbow colors.

Besides the giving and receiving of flowers, there will be a short talk by Mana'ar Johnson on what scientists are learning about plants. Plants have an array of strategies to sense the world around them. They use this awareness to respond to threats in creative ways.

"UU's 7th principle affirms a belief that we are part of an interdependent web of life. Plants and flowers are an integral part of this web. Without them, most other life on earth would not exist. We will be reflecting on the meaning that being part of this community of beings brings to our life in these times," Johnson said.

Der Rosenkavalier is set in 18th-century Vienna. Der Rosenkavalier follows the elegant Marschallin as she lets go of her young lover, Octavian, so he can marry the beautiful young Sophie. The plot is driven by a comedic mix-up involving an aristocratic rose-bearer and a boorish Baron. Profound understanding of a woman's psyche, theme of arranged marriage vs romantic love, caste, women's rights & equality.

Renowned entomologist and best-selling author Doug Tallamy will speak on Saturday, September 12, at the culmination of this year's Native Plant Society of New Mexico state conference hosted by the Gila Native Plant Society. In this inspiring talk, Dr. Tallamy explains how our current landscapes are contributing to a critical decline in biodiversity—and how simple changes to our yards, gardens, and community spaces can reverse this trend.

The presentation will be at 7:15 pm in the Large Event Room at the Grant County Veterans Memorial Business and Conference Center at the corner of US-180 and 32nd Street. The community is invited to attend, with a suggested donation of $10 appreciated but not required.

Doug Tallamy is best known nationwide as co-founder, with Michelle Alfandari, of the Homegrown National Park movement, grounded in decades of his ecological research showing that native plants are essential to sustaining biodiversity.

The Catron County Board of County Commissioners is excited to announce the Grand Re-Opening of the Reserve Airfield and Ribbon-cutting of the completed Pilot's Lounge project at the Reserve Airport (T-16).  In total, these $3.5 million dollar projects were made possible with the substantial help of our partners:
