A beautiful day for a walk through the Gutiérrez-Hubbell house neighborhood. Thanks to the Babcocks for leading the walk. On the way, we had the opportunity to visit local metal artist Vince whose work flies high above his yard. What a fun day!

Albuquerque Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring hosted the annual Tutor Appreciation luncheon today. Vicki DeVigne, the program's director, welcomed 170 tutors. Lorna Wiggins, Albuquerque Oasis Board Chair, arranged for the luncheon to be held at the Albuquerque Country Club. Nusenda Credit Union underwrote the cost of the meal. Dan and Margaret Wolford provided flowers. Additional support for the program comes from the Sandia Foundation through the Albuquerque Community foundation, and Sandia National Labs.

A special thank you goes out to Deb Haaland who was our guest speaker. Deb spoke about her own educational journey and the importance of mentors and encouragers in our lives. We appreciate her making time to be at this event.

Finally, to make a great day even better, Bob Strong, a tutor, nominated Vicki DeVigne for a KOB4 "Pay It Forward" award of $400. Everyone in the room was surprised and overjoyed with gratitude when the presentation was made. Congratulations to Vicki who said that the money will go to buy more books for the Tutor Resource Library. Vicki is always thinking about the children that the tutoring program serves.
