Silver City -- The doors of the new, Henry V. "La Burra" Morales Recreation Center are expected to open in mid-July, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Lieutenant Governor Howie Morales, Silver City Mayor Ken Ladner, town councilors, key staff members and other state and local officials, tentatively scheduled for July 17.
"I'm so thrilled that at last we'll be opening the doors of our new recreation center, which began as an idea 10 years ago when I was first campaigning for mayor," said Mayor Ladner. "This is a tremendous asset to our community, and another gem in the heart of a solid recreation complex near our schools, which includes the municipal pool, tennis courts and the track. I'm deeply grateful to Lt. Governor Morales, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, steering committee members, Council of Governments Director Pricilla Lucero, our state lawmakers, and everyone who has provided input and guidance. I especially want to recognize Town Manager Alex Brown for guiding this project every step of the way."

Lotus Center, a Silver City-based nonprofit yoga and meditation center, will be holding a dedication of a prayer wheel on Friday, July 11, at 12:45 PM.
A prayer wheel is a cylindrical wheel—commonly made of metal, wood, or stone—that is installed on a spindle. It's filled, literally, with millions of prayers of compassion and kindness. In addition to prayers of compassion, the inside of the wheel will be filled with other sacred offerings. The offerings have been donated by members of the southwest New Mexico community.
The prayer wheel is non-denominational and will represent all religions and spiritual paths.
