Events for September 8, 2022 - September 17, 2022

The community is invited to "Second Saturday at the Museum: Take and Make" - a safe replacement for Family Fun Days. On Second Saturdays, people can drive up to the museum, and receive a packet full of activities for families. On December 12, our theme is Christmas Traditions, with Christmas crafts for children from around the world. A limited number of packets will be available, and it's first-come, first-serve. Each person in a vehicle will receive one packet with the option to request an extra two packets to take to someone not in the vehicle. Simply pull around the circle, stop, roll down the window, and pick up the free packets (tape, scissors, etc. needed to create the crafts are not included). Activities and crafts are for all ages, but younger children may need help from an adult. For up-to-date information, follow the Museum on Facebook (facebook.com/WHMuseum), or go to the website: nmjc.edu/museum.

To help celebrate the dream of unity by MLK, we invite everyone to come experience the unity of Hobbs as we hand out food; hot meals and/or food boxes, as well as collecting coats for re-distribution and handing out what we currently have collected. “Everybody can be great … because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
