OK...we can't do a ground breaking.  Somebody did that in 1931.  Asbestos abatement has been completed and we hope to move our clients and service staff into the Lexington as soon as its completed.  And, yes, we will have a grand opening party too.

If you would like to tell us that you are coming or would like to bring something please call us at (505) 722-0066 and speak to Tiffany or email us at lexington.

June 2011.  Renovations at the Lexington are under way.  Asbestos abatement should be completed sometime in June.  We will probably have some sort of ground breaking ceremony soon after the asbestos abatement is completed.

The CARE 66 Gran Fondo i.e. big ride is scheduled for, Saturday September 17^th.  We will also have events for kids at the Courthouse Square.  Ride options are for approximately, 66, 40 and 20 miles.  Start training now!  Collect donations from your friends, co-workers and family so that you can earn a classy CARE 66 coffee mug.

Last week a delegation from the Navajo Nation visited CARE 66.  Mel Begay, Leonard Tsosie, Edmund Yazzie, Charles Damone, and President Ben Shelly’s Deputy Chief of Staff visited CARE 66.  Representative Sandra Jeff also visited with CARE 66.  We had heart to heart conversations about the mission of CARE 66 and how we can help Navajo communities.

We have also had extensive conversations with Aneyva Yazzie, the CEO of Navajo Housing Authority, and have met with the Board of Commissioners of Navajo Housing Authority.

Theresa Lee will be joining us Finance Officer this month.  We are very excited about having her join our management team.  We are also always looking for Board members.

If you are interested please send me an email to set up a meeting and talk.

          Until next month stay well and do good!
