A group of citizens, Citizens Action Coalition: "Rescue Pagosa", have united to create a series of fund raisers to benefit several of the non-profit groups in our area, a number of which are suffering from the overall economy of our county, and some that are threatened with a lack of funding due to the inability of the County to provide funds due to its financial crisis. Many programs severely affected by the County's financial crisis are listed in last weeks Sun. These programs, and others, are vital to our community because they contribute greatly to our quality of life her in Pagosa, whether we realize it or not. If you or anyone you know, has ever benefited in any way from any of these programs, then you will understand that it is time for us, as a community of individuals, to step up and help those who are being hurt by the County's problems. The Town government can't do it all -- they need help of all us citizens of Archuleta County. After all who is the Town? Who is the County? We get to thinking that those entities are separate from us, since we elect many of those who administer the programs, but the hard fact is that WE are the Town and the County -- all of us, and it is time for everyone of us to step up ad pitch in to help all of these organizations and groups that are being hurt. NOW is the time for us to show that we care, AND we can have a great time in the process.
As a community we need to come together and rise to the challenge to maintain our quality of life. Ideas and participation are needed. Your community needs your time, energy, ideas and money. No contribution of money, time, energy or ideas is too small -- we need everyone to help -- we all appreciate what Pagosa has to offer us, so now it's time to "Pay it Forward."
Rescue Pagosa's Kick-Off Event for "Pay it Forward" is August 11th at Stage Under The Stars, located at 3700 Piedra Road, with local musicians and lots of creative talent participating in a jamboree of fun. Come on out between noon and 4PM and see what we are planning for the next few months, while the weather is so beautiful. We are planning events for all ages and interest groups so come out and get involved! Admission for this Kick Off Event is free -- we want your participation! We will want your money later!
Call Susan at 731-4735 or Chrissy at 264-6026 for more information or to get in on the action.
We have so much to be grateful for, the spectacular nature that surrounds us, the gift of the hot springs, the rivers, streams and forests we play in ... There is no reason that our community shouldn't be as inviting and vital as the nature that surrounds us, but it will take the commitment of those of us who appreciate all of this to create a beautiful town, supportive and healthy community, and economic vitality in pagosa County.
