26.01 Armstrong, Pena on Ambassadors, Discover Los Alamos

Happy New Year Rotarians and Friends!

2026 has hardly started and we’re already off to a roll! Last week, we hosted the Sheriff’s Posse Pancake Breakfast. We had a great turnout with hundreds of community members served.

Following that, we received an award from The Rotary Foundation for our contributions to the End Polio Campaign. Thanks to everyone who has helped with Purple Pinky and all of our polio awareness efforts over the years.

This Week’s Speakers

It’s time for our first lunch meeting of 2026. Our speakers are Jennifer Armstrong and Melanie Pena. They will be speaking about Discover Los Alamos and the Los Alamos Ambassador program which aims to create a knowledgeable welcoming group of ambassadors to effectively promote Los Alamos businesses and activities to tourists, visitors, and local residents.

If you can’t make it in person, you can join us on Google Meet or watch it later on YouTube.

We’re renewing our efforts on the ABC (A Bench For Caps) Promise with some help from local community members. Please continue collecting caps from water bottles and other plastic containers and invite your neighbors, coworkers, and community organizations to do the same. We have about 100 pounds collected already and the Rotary Passport Club of Santa Fe and Tierra Nueva Counseling Center have a few loads for us to add to our collection. We need at least 500 pounds before we can deliver them to Indiana and turn them into benches.

Crab Fest TBD

We’re still working out the logistics of Crab Fest this year. With the shutdown of Cottonwood on the Greens and demolition of the Columbian Hall, we’re trying to find a new venue and caterer. We’ll keep you posted as things unfold.
