La Fonda Restaurant, 601 E Pine St, Deming
Show up for an important conservation issue affecting our region!Â
Friends of the Floridas will give an update on the status of their court fight against the American Magnesium mine proposal, and the revised exploration plan that the company is now proposing. This update will include a discussion of strategies available for long term protection for the natural character of the Floridas.
This meeting will also include guest speaker, Patrick Nolan, Director of Friends of Organ Pipe - Desert Peaks National Monument, Las Cruces. Mr. Nolan will discuss the history of the Monument, how it came to be, and the protections created by National Monument Status.
As an incentive to attend, the Friends of the Floridas will have a drawing for $10.00 to help defray your lunch cost, a drawing for free Friends of the Floridashats, and free Friends bumper stickers while they last!
Having a SWNMA presence at the meeting would be helpful, both to support their work and to bring our organization up-to-date. Please
