Next Board Meeting

Thursday, July 15, 2010
The NM Riparian Council will be touring the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District’s CFRP site in Belen. The District's Planner will be there to host the tour and describe the activities that are occurring at the site.

We will meet in Belen at 9:30 (see directions below) and the tour will last about two hours. All are welcome!!!!!

Following the tour, we will find a place to gather for a lunch meeting, hopefully somewhere nearby in Belen. As always, the NMRC Board meeting will be open to the entire membership. Hope to see you there. (We apologize for the short notice – we recently had to change venues due to complications with our originally planned tour and Board meeting.)

Directions:
Take I-25 South to the Camino del Llano exit in Belen (2nd Belen exit)
Turn left onto Camino del Llano and follow this all the way to the T junction at Main Street
Take a left onto Main Street, get in the right hand lane and go to the light at River or Reinken Road (pass the light at Becker Street).
Take a right on to Reinken Road and follow this for a few miles, crossing the railroad overpass and Jarales Road (NM 109).

If you cross the Rio Grande, you’ve gone too far. The site is in the bosque on the west side of the river.
