The world premiere of the documentary film Bravo Y Grande will screen at the Rangra Theater in Alpine, TX on June 22nd. Narrated by Texas troubadour Butch Hancock, the film documents a 2018 expedition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and the 40th anniversary of the designation of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River. Join a group of river guides, scientists, locals and NPS personnel as they travel 83 miles along the US/Mexico border through the Lower Canyons of the Rio Grande, one of the most remote sections of river in the US. The filmmaker Carl Crum and participants featured in the film will be in attendance for a Q&A, and a reception will follow at the Ritchey Wine Saloon and Beer Garden.

Great News!!! Big Bend Education Corporation (the organization whose sole purpose is to raise money for major projects at our school, like the playground equipment just completed this year) is now registered with Amazon Smile. That means when you are shopping at Amazon, you can choose to purchase through Amazon Smile, and select Big Bend Education Corporation as your charity, and we will receive a contribution of .5% of your eligible purchases. We have big plans in the works, so every bit will help.

Desert Lotus Healing Arts wants to thank everyone for such a wonderful season. Doing work we care about in a place we care about with people we care about is truly a dream come true and we owe it all to you, our amazing and wonderful community. The studio will be closed June 5-June 28 for rest and recharge. We are already scheduling appointments for our return., so get in touch if you’d like to set something up and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay up to date on all the happenings. (432)-386-0305 Happy Monsoon Season everyone- take good care of yourselves.

RECYCLING CHANGES -- We have the trailer set up at the new location behind the ballparks on the school road. Some volunteers have graciously offered to help. The recycle world has drastically changed the past year, especially here, far from the big recycle centers. We have made this move so we can keep the trailer locked except when someone is there to sort through items brought. We cannot continue as before when we received a lot of trash and items we could not recycle. We take everything to the recycle center in Panther Junction, and they notified us a few months ago that we had to start bringing nothing but clean and acceptable items. We will have volunteers to sort through what is brought and anything not acceptable will have to be taken back as we have no trash dumpster.

Aluminum cans, tin cans, #1 and #2 plastic and cardboard. No paper, books, etc. any longer as we have no outlet.

For now, we will be open on Saturday from 9AM to Noon or so when it gets too hot to stay out there. We will work on getting more open times as we work out the schedule.

Again, thank you for understanding the situation we are in.

If you have questions you can email me at krullro1966@gmail.com. My phone is 432.371.2249. I'm in and out so please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks, Robert
