Ruidoso, NM — December 13, 2025

On a Saturday morning outside Albertsons grocery store in Ruidoso, the Ruidoso community showed up in force—delivering a record-breaking $6,000 in monetary and food donations to ensure Lincoln County children wouldn't go hungry during winter break.

The Rotary Club of Ruidoso partnered with Food 4 Kids for their annual "Pack the Bus" fundraiser, collecting food items that would be packed into backpacks and delivered to families before schools closed for the holidays.

District 5520 — December 2025

District Governor Tom Simon brought Rotary's mission to a new audience through his appearance on the "All Things Real Estate" podcast, discussing how professionals can leverage their vocational expertise for community impact—a theme that will anchor the District 5520 Conference in April.

The podcast conversation explored Rotary's unique approach to service: using professional skills, business connections, and industry knowledge not just for profit, but for community transformation.

Deming, NM — December 16, 2025

When Roselva Zuniga spoke at a Deming Rotary Club meeting about a simple program that could save lives, the club listened. Now, thanks to her initiative and a partnership with Deming's first responders, the Vial of Life program is rolling out across the city to protect homebound and vulnerable residents.

The Vial of Life is a national program designed to help people who live alone or are homebound provide critical medical information to first responders in emergencies. Zuniga learned about the program from a friend in Phoenix and immediately saw its potential for Deming.
