August 9, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "Tending Our Tradition"
Throughout Unitarian Universalist history, there have been times when UUs courageously lived our values, and times when UUs betrayed our values. How can we learn from both the high points and the low points of our history as we seek to make our values real in the world today?
Rev. Erica Baron's video will focus on some of these questions. Nancy Stephens will lead a discussion after the video.
Rev. Erica Baron joined the New England region staff in 2019, focusing on helping congregations live into their missions and develop their gifts for spiritual leadership. Before joining the Congregational Life staff, she served as parish minister for the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Catskills in Kingston, NY, as well as the congregations in Rutland and Bennington, VT. She is a graduate of Andover Newton Theological School.

Silver City, NM – TheActrix Studio invites actors, comedians, singers, and lovers of classic television to step back into the fabulous 1950s for its fall fundraiser production of Murder Is on the Air, a hilarious theatrical murder mystery by Jack Pachuta.
Set in 1957, when Elvis ruled the radio, poodle skirts filled the dance floor, and television was becoming America's newest obsession, Murder Is on the Air takes audiences behind the scenes of the nation's number one live sitcom, The Lizzie Show. As cameras prepare to roll, tempers flare, rivalries simmer, and before the evening is over...someone winds up dead.

Project supports hazardous fuels reduction for local community
(Glenwood, NM, July 30, 2026) — The Gila National Forest is planning prescribed fire operations at the Sheridan slash disposal site located off Sheridan Ridge Road (Catron County Road 54) between August 3 and September 30, 2026, weather and fire conditions permitting. We use prescribed slash pile burns to reduce overgrown vegetation to help protect local communities, infrastructure, and natural resources from wildfires. With increased monsoonal moisture, fire danger in the area has decreased and firefighters will seek appropriate windows to conduct these burns.
"Slash" refers to residual woody debris leftover after thinning, logging, or other vegetation management activities. Slash disposal sites on the Gila National Forest support hazardous fuels reduction efforts in local communities by allowing free disposal of vegetation removed from private property. Sheridan and all slash disposal sites on the forest are for vegetative materials only.
