A notice in the Desert Exposure about the Hi Lo Silvers concert on at 3 p.m. Mother's Day afternoon, Sunday, May 14, 2023, had the location incorrect.
Other outlets such as the Grant County Beat and the Silver City Daily Press have the correct location, which is the First United Methodist Church on College Ave. .
A spokeswoman said: "DE calendar says Sunday concert is at Presbyterian. Church. We will put signs on Presbyterian Church doors on Sunday after their service to alert anyone who goes there that they need to go to First United Methodist Church. And, we may start Sunday concert a few minutes late to give folks time to get to to the Methodist Church

Armed Forces Day Celebration May 21, 2023

The GCCCA, WNMU, and the American Legion Post 18 will host a celebration for Armed Forces Day in Bataan Memorial Park in Santa Clara. The event starts at 1:00 PM with presentations from the Ft. Bayard Historic Preservation Society, Friends of Bataan Park, and from the director of the Ft. Bayard National Cemetery. The event is to honor active military personnel, Gold Star Families, veterans and all the veterans service organizations in Grant County. Following the presentations, the 1st Armored Division Band from Ft. Bliss will perform a concert entitled “As Time Goes By” starting at 2:00 PM.
The 1st Armored Division Band is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. "Old Ironsides" traces its heritage from 1943, when it was activated in the early days of World War II. To this band, however, music was often a sideline as division bands were used as infantry units during World War II. The majority of the band's time was not spent in rehearsing and performing, but in guarding supplies or headquarters installations. Throughout the decades they have been deactivated and reactivated several times, being deployed to war-torn regions around the globe including Korea, Kuwait, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo to name few.
Tickets are now on sale for The Silco Theater 100th Anniversary Gala!

The women of Ohio call upon the women of the world to stand with them in support of a better world for all children and the seven generations beyond them. Last May hundreds of thousands of women and girls, along with the men and boys they love, in 75 countries and on all continents of the world stood together in parks, on beaches, in churches, at graduation ceremonies, in their backyards and at school yards or anyplace they could find to stand in a global wave of humanity. “We dream of a world where all children have safe drinking water, clean air to breathe, and enough food to eat. A world where they have access to a basic education to develop their minds and healthcare to nurture their growing bodies. A world where they have a warm, safe and loving place to call home. A world where they don't live in fear of violence - in their home, in their neighborhood, in their school or in their world. This is the world of which we dream. This is the cause for which we stand.”

This is the 72nd National Day of Prayer. The first National Day of Prayer was established through proclamation in 1952 by then President Harry S Truman. In 1988, President Reagan amended the law, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer. Since then, it has been proclaimed each year by every United States president.
All are welcome to attend. This event will unite people in prayer across many denominations and faiths. We will pray for our families, churches, businesses and workplaces, education, media influencers, military and first responders, and our government and the governments of other nations. We hope everyone will consider joining us in this special event.
