Chamber Holds 6th Annual Banquet
 The Mora Valley Chamber of Commerce held their 6thh annual banquet at the VFW Post 1131 last Friday evening.
After the social hour in which participants had a chance to view the items donated for the silent and live auction, dinner was served with Rich Lau giving the invocation. After the delicious dinner, Master of Ceremonies Joseph Weathers introduced the dignitaries and elected officials. Some of the counties� elected officials were present as well as representatives from the offices of Senator Udall, Senator Bingaman, and Representative Lujan. Chamber

President Merl Witt introduced the Chamber officers and gave a brief review of the plans for 2012. One new item for this year is that the Chamber is actively supporting the Youth Conservation Corps project of restoring the Cleveland Community Park. The YCC will hire eight youth and a project leader from the community for the ten week project which begins in June.

Rhonda Trambley introduced the nine businesses who have joined the Chamber this year. They were Avery Built Construction, Enchanted Circle Construction, Raye Design, L.B. Regensburg Construction, VFW Post 1131, Wagon Mound Development Association, Precision Plumbing, Mora County Republican Party, and Mad Cow Calf Calf �A�.

Sue Strebe presented the Enterprise Appreciation Award to the Mad Cow Caf� Calf �A� for being a new business and to Tapetes de Lana for opening up their coffee bar and expanding their commercial facilities.

Paul Fort presented the Community Pride Award to Anthony and Maria Esquibel for their beautification of their property next to Tapetes de Lana, and to the Mora County Transfer Station which has been upgraded to be more convenient for the citizens.
The Community Service award was presented to Lillian Maestas for her contribution to both the Chamber and the Mora Community.

Judy Finley introduced Nancy Colallilo, the main speaker of the evening. Nancy is the founder and owner of Tome on the Range book store on Bridge Street in Las Vegas.She presented a very interesting and humorous speech. She told of her back ground as a business person. She helped run her father�s grocery business in New Jersey and told of how it had grown when she was at the helm.
When she moved to New Mexico, she searched for the right place to settle and chose Las Vegas because of the beautiful location and friendly small town atmosphere. She has run the book store for 16 years.
After the closing remarks Tapetes de Lana held their raffle drawing. This was followed by a silent and live auction of the donated items. The members of the Chamber and some of the guests took over as auctioneers, which proved to be entertaining and productive.
