Placitas Community Center news

Community Center

The staff would like to wish you all a Happy New Year! I would like to thank all the people who attended our Christmas luncheon. You all made it a very successful event. One hundred and one people were there. Los Reyes de Albuquerque (mariachis) entertained while lunch was being served. After lunch we had a visit from Santa Claus, who had gifts for everyone. We sang Christmas carols, and door prizes were given away.

Doesn’t this sound like a good time with friends?

Make sure not to miss the next gathering at the Placitas Community Center. All you need do is register with the center to find out about all the great activities and services that are available to you. Come by or give us a call at 867-1396. We always welcome new members.
