We received a very nice little note and along with a generous $500 donation from our neighbor.
Note that she crossed out "My gift is given in memory of" on the donation slip and revised it to "Our gift is given in love for our beloved Ruidoso and Lincoln County."
She then adds "donation for paradise" in the memo line of her check.

We love our community!

Meet one of your Board of Directors
MARY WEAVER - Retired Educator & Real Estate Broker
Mary is a 4th generation New Mexican from Socorro, NM, and has been a Lincoln County resident since 1991. Her journey in this community began as a librarian for the Capitan School District, where she enjoyed 2 years before moving up the mountain as the first full-time librarian and later a computer instructor at ENMU Ruidoso under the direction of Dr. Jim Miller.
In 1994, she married Mark Stambaugh, and together they built a home near the top of Angus Hill, where they share their lives with two beloved Australian Shepherds. Mark is a local wildlife/nature photographer and the owner of Alto Portable Buildings at the top of Angus Hill.
In 2005, Mary obtained a real estate license and joined Prudential Lynch Realty as an Associate Broker, where she thrived for nine years before establishing her own brokerage, Weaver Real Estate.
A strong advocate for community involvement, Mary has contributed her time and energy to numerous organizations over the years, including Santa's Helpers, Leadership Lincoln, Meals on Wheels, the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Ruidoso/Lincoln County Association of Realtors, and the Little Bear Forest Reform Coalition to name a few.
Since retiring from real estate in 2024, Mary stays busy with yoga, hiking, pickleball, gardening, and volunteering with the Community Foundation of Lincoln County. She is a member of the CFLC Shelter Fund Committee and was very involved in the assessment and distribution of funds to the survivors of the recent fires and floods. She is committed to making a difference in the community and immensely proud to be affiliated with the Community Foundation of Lincoln County.
