Summer Camp Fair
Join us Saturday, March 31, 2012 from 10:00am-4:00pm
for the Summer Camp Fair at La Tienda.
15 local children’s camps will set up displays, information and activities for the children ofSanta Fe. We have a wide variety of camps participating. There are art, gymnastics, horse riding, language, living history, performing arts, science, and sports camps for ages preschool through middle school. Camp displays will be set up indoors and outdoors and children can have their faces painted, make spin art, play sports (including soccer and tennis), try tumbling, participate in living history, and try out fun activities that are as yet undisclosed. While children are sampling the activities parents can talk to camp personnel and collect information.
This is a free event. Our goal is to bring the families ofSanta Feand the summer camps ofSanta Fetogether early enough make summer plans. A fun day for the children is an added bonus.
A big thank you to La Tienda for providing the venue for the Summer Camp Fair, to Listening Horse Therapeutic Riding for sponsoring the Summer Camp Fair, to Steve Ewers for printing and donating 11,000 (!) fliers which were distributed to the school children of Santa Fe and to Mekah Gordon for delivering at least half of those fliers to the schools, designing the signs and banners for the Summer Camp Fair and for the many other things she has been willing to do, often at a moments notice.

Building Community: Women’s Coffee and Conversation
You are invited to join us on Sunday, January 29 at 2pm for a coffee and some great conversation. This event is facilitated by Christine Wagner and Karen Hodges and will take place at Destiny Allison Fine Art. Read on to understand why this coffee is happening and what it is about:
Dear Destiny,
Congratulations to you in the achievement of the 2011 Businesswoman of the Year award!
We are especially intrigued by your comment about your contribution – “I do what I do because it is the Work I do that feeds my soul.” Far too many women do not have an inkling what that may be for them. Women’s work sometimes can seem very far from the “capital W” Work that refers to a life calling or purpose. Our strengths, our talents, the gifts that light us up seem to remain dormant in the face of the “shoulds” – no, the “musts” – that represent our world. Why?
We are the mothers, the daughters, the housewives, the caretakers. We bring groceries and meals to neighbors who are ill or unable to prepare meals for themselves. This is our work, and perhaps we also do “work” that helps pay the bills…but how much of this work is respected in today’s society?
We are creating the 21st century roadmap for all women. And there is no roadmap to adulthood for our daughters to follow.
What can we do to trust our unique voice as women and see its importance to the business community and the world at large? What are the gifts and talents that women bring to the table both in business and in our communities? How can we discern our voice as women, individually and collectively?
What message is the media transmitting to our daughters? Feminist thinking is clear that women are much more than one-dimensionally defined sex symbols. Our daughters see images of scantily clad women flaunting their bodies. The message is consistent and repetitive, but untrue. A woman’s sexual self is NOT the only real power women have.
What can we do as women to claim our powers of collaboration; authentic and reflective listening; responsiveness and attunement? The virtues of feminist thinking are widely known and appreciated. At the world peace summit in Vancouver in 2009, the Dalai Lama proclaimed that the world will be saved by the Western woman. How can claiming our own voices and power have world impact? And how can we include our young girls and teenagers to sustain it?
We are energized by the opening your award and response have created — and find the dialogue rich and multi-faceted. We welcome being part of this conversation, hearing the voices and insights of women in our community.

Cartridges for Kids a huge success
The Cartridges for Kids program is much more successful than we had anticipated. People are bringing in empty inks and toners from both home and work. Our original goal was to raise between $1200 and $1500 for the school but the community has been bringing in cartridges so often that it appears we will raise over $3000 for school supplies this year.
Last month, we filled the back of a mini van with markers, glue sticks, tissue paper, regular paper, binders and notebooks. This month, and next, we are using the funds to supply teachers with 8 gig flash drives. Teachers use the drives to store assignments, move data, and communicate with each other. They are a vital tool for teachers to be effective in their jobs.
More importantly, teachers are not paying for these supplies out of their own pockets — as was customary prior to the program. If you have empty ink cartridges or toners, please drop them off at La Tienda. There are two drop off areas in the shopping center. One is in front of Urban Fix Cafe and the other is in front of Eldorado Computer Works.
EX EX VI at the La Tienda Exhibit Space
EX.EX.:
Excerpt Exhibition
The sixth annual EX.EX.: Excerpt Exhibition will be presented at the La Tienda Exhibit Space in Eldorado during the month of October, 2011. The invitational will present 35 local artists, who individually exemplify un-common interests, sensibilities, and notions about ART, and its practice. Some are emerging in their homes & are new to exhibitions; some are students; some are everyday artists…doing their things; some are internationally renowned; all are pushed, pulled, and motivated by a “feeling”–a longing–which never goes, away! “They rock”…in their own world! For these reasons, each has been invited to select & show two pieces in EX.EX. VI ! The criteria is established by artist/professor, Dean Howell…who writes:

Artistic Existence
There’s an artistic soul, an artistic process, and an artistic object. Inherent to them all, is artistic existence. The EX.EX. concept is about honoring the fact that at the end of the day-everyday-there are those who find themselves pursuing this existence, sometimes unknowingly…and there are those who simply embody it-whether they intend to or not…whether they’re judged good at it or not.
EX.EX. VI: Excerpt Exhibition presents artists, who are… to the side, underneath, and over the top of normal levels of soul, process, and objectified existence. We need to study them hard.
