IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE
TAOS COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Dear Member:

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in line with the directives of the State of New Mexico Governor, New Mexico Department of Health and the Mayor of the Town of Taos, the Board of the Taos County Historical Society has determined that we should:

1. Postpone our Spring Luncheon scheduled for April 26, 2020.  While it is always nice to have this spring gathering, postponing it to a later date would be prudent. 
   
   
2. Cancel the April 4th lecture at Kit Carson Electric Coop. 
   We can reschedule the speaker for next year.

This action was taken in a sincere concern for the ongoing health of our members.  We would like to thank each of you for your understanding of these changes.

Ernestina Cordova, President
and Board of Directors

Mil Gracias, A THOUSAND THANKS, does not begin to cover the many, many individuals to whom we owe a debt of gratitude. This debt is not only the living but also to those men and women who long ago began to preserve the journals and documents we now depend upon for knowledge of the past: the chroniclers who accompanied the explorers and settlers and who, dusty, tired and hungry, sat in the light of a candle to record in their journals the events of the day and the Franciscan clerics who made detailed reports of their canonical visits to the mission churches of Nuevo México.
