May 13 is Coming Fast

Byaltocep

We are blessed to live where we do, in our beautiful mountain setting. Our enjoyment of our stunning bucolic surroundings should always be appreciated, always preserved, and never taken for granted.

Tragically some of our neighbors have had their enjoyment taken away, at least temporarily, as a result of the McBride and Nogal fires. As we fight to preserve our environment in a neighbor-helping-neighbor manner, the Alto CEP also wants to help those impacted by the fires regain the mountain lifestyle that, for the time being, they have lost.

For our May 13 Boot Bash Fundraiser at the Alto Lakes Golf and Country Club, the Alto CEP will share proceeds from our silent and live auctions with The Shelter Fund of the Community Foundation of Lincoln County. The Shelter Fund is currently raising funds for victims of the McBride and Nogal fires to help these neighbors get re-equipped and reestablished such that their lives may return to normal as quickly as possible, and their enjoyment of our mountain setting regained.

Please join us for a fun night of tacos, drinks, live country music, dancing and the opportunity to buy everything from condos, to paintings, to fine wine and much more – all the while helping your neighbors. We hope to see you there!

To be honest, I have never held “Enemy-D” above low regard.

All he said…
