Our state major project is Cerebral Palsy, helping kids to walk without assistance. We have a strong relationship with the renowned Carrie Tingley Hospital in Albuquerque, where we provide our assistance with "Walkable" devices for use in therapy and training with health care professionals. Since 1951, the New Mexico Elks have been leading the charge to provide funding for this most worthy program.
The state capital, Santa Fe, is home to the Palace of the Governors, the oldest continually occupied public building in the United States, erected in the early 17th century. Albuquerque, the largest city, hosts the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the most photographed event in the world, where over 700 hot air, gas and special shapes balloons gather every October. New Mexico is truly unique with its varying climates and topography, beautiful sunsets and picturesque mountains, visit us and you’ll understand why we are "The Land of Enchantment". From our early beginnings as a Territory under Spanish rule to our evolution as a leader in technological, medical and defense research, New Mexico continues to be "On a Great Ride." My wife, Josie, and I invite you to share the Land of Enchantment we are blessed to live in. Enjoy!  Click Here for detail on our State Program.
