Picuris Pueblo, NM - 2013 Christmas Give-Away

San Lorenzo Church, at Picuris Pueblo, New Mexico. We had our annual Give-Away at the Pueblo. Unemployment is 80-90%. We meet over 250 people and they were thankful, considerate, and appreciate. We had a wonderful experience. We thank Governor Richard Mermejo, Lieutenant Gary Pyne, and Tribal Secretary Sherry Archuleta for making it one of our most memorable Christmas Give-Aways.

We loaded up Tuesday, December 3rd, drove and arrived Wednesday, set up Thursday and Friday, opened the doors Saturday and drove home Sunday. We're looking for a place for an Easter Give-Away and another Christmas Give-Away if anyone has any contact, tribes or pueblos, please let us know.

We were invited to lunch, on Friday, by Governor Mermejo, Lt. Governor Pyne, and tribal secretary Archuleta.  

We had Santa and Mrs Claus with us and took photos of all who wanted in his lap. One graceful elder told us as she sat in Santa's lap, "I haven't sat in Santa's lap in eighty years." She was laughing as was everyone else. 

We printed, signed "Santa's Workshop,' and mail photos back so everyone who wanted one could get one.
