Craft Project for Our Hospital

Patients at Pagosa Springs Medical Center may be feeling cozier soon thanks to the efforts of the Archuleta County Democratic Party. 

On May 1, a group of volunteers met with Rhonda Webb, PSMC CEO and Chief Medical Officer, to deliver fleece lap blankets the group had crafted. 

Volunteers gathered on a Sunday morning in April to create the blankets, which are made by stacking two coordinating pieces of fleece, cutting fringes, and then tying them in knots. 

Lee Stopher, vice chair for community outreach, coordinated the project, including selecting the materials and recruiting the volunteers.

Water Usage: Let's Do Our Part

After a dry winter, our water supply is not in great shape. 

The Pagosa Area Water and Sewer District (PAWSD) has put voluntary water restrictions in place. 

You can find suggestions for conserving water here. 

Let's all do our part.

County Denied FEMA Funds

The Trump Administration has denied the state's request for federal emergency funds to clean up after flooding and fires earlier this year. 

The flood damage in Archuleta County alone was estimated at $13 million. 

The denial came just a few days after the Trump Administration announced it would dismantle NCAR in Boulder, one of the leading climate research institutes in the country. 

The state already is suing the Trump Administration for moving Space Force from Colorado to Alabama. 

Why is Donald Trump on a rampage against our state? He hates our vote-by-mail system. And he's mad our state won't recognize his fake pardon former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters.

Dems Learn More About Sustainability

About 30 Democrats heard from Christa Chagra about how to live more sustainably during the Dem Club lunch on March 24 at Uncle's. 

Her presentation had some eye-opening statistics about microplastics, the water table, and other important environmental worries. She gave the crowd plenty of actionable tips and displayed some products you can use to reduce your carbon footprint. (Including bamboo toilet tissue!) 

Christa's business, AnthroEvolve Co-op, can help you find and buy more earth-friendly household products. 

This site offers tips on recycling and other ways to lessen your impact on the planet.

Dems Learn More about Rise Above Violence

About 40 people -- including some newcomers -- attended our Democratic Club lunch on Monday, Nov. 17. 

Carmen Lewis and Annie Gian from Rise Above Violence presented information about their organization's history and mission. Rise Above Violence provides services for those affected by domestic and sexual violence. It also supports public education and prevention campaigns. 

Our donation jar filled up with cash by the end of the meeting, and we were able to give more than $250 to support their mission. 

If you're interested in volunteering or donating, visit the Rise Above Violence website.

Our next lunch is Dec. 15, and we'll be hearing from the executive director of KSUT.
