Women For a Better Artesia

It’s disappointing that City Councilor Terry Hill would dismiss the role philanthropy has played in shaping our community. (Minute 43 in the video)

Many of the amenities and opportunities we enjoy today exist because generous families and community leaders chose to invest in something bigger than themselves. That's not a liability—it's one of our greatest strengths.

You don't have to agree with every project, but failing to recognize the value of private giving and public-private partnerships misses a big part of what has helped make our community successful.

Thankful for our city councilors that understand the impact of private-public partnerships and have a vision for Artesia. A vision to make Artesia a place where families can live, work and thrive! 🧡

The members of Women For A Better Artesia are heartbroken by the tragic accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with pilots, medical personnel, families and all those affected by this devastating event.

In moments like these we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice of those who dedicate their lives to serving others. Our community stands united in support, prayer, and sympathy for everyone impacted.

It is with profound sorrow that Trans Aero MedEvac confirms the loss of four members of our team following the crash of our fixed-wing aircraft in New Mexico early this morning. Our hearts are with the families, loved ones, coworkers, and the first responders continuing operations at the scene during this incredibly difficult time. FULL STATEMENT BELOW.

The trophy is in Artesia! But, where? ⭐️

Our trophy suspect may have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day a little too hard. We have a lead that our missing mirrorball may have wound up in an entirely different community! Somewhere to the north.
A suspicious note indicated that the trophy was possibly on display at the “Amberchay ofway Ommercecay inway Artesiaway”
Post a photo for a chance to win two free tickets to Friday’s “Dancing with the Stars of Eddy County” event!
