Meeting Notes, March 8, 2026
Thank you to residents and trustees who attended. We had a productive meeting with about 30 people. Click here to read about topics discussed. You can also watch a (very hard to hear) video of the meeting.
Trustee Jennifer Kueffer shares the following:
Many of you have shared that you don’t always feel heard during Board of Trustees meetings — and I want to change that. So I’m holding “Talk Tea with Trustee Kueffer” — a monthly opportunity to sit down together, share ideas, ask questions, and talk about what matters most to our Village.
Our next gathering will be Tuesday, April 7th, 10–11 am at Sadie’s of New Mexico (4th Street location, 6230 4th St). Please use the south entrance when you arrive.
This is your chance to speak directly with me in an informal setting — no agenda, just open conversation and connection.
These gatherings are an opportunity to connect, share ideas, and discuss topics that matter most to our community. Whether you have questions, concerns, or simply want to stay informed, I welcome you to stop by.
Please share this with your neighbors, and stay tuned for upcoming locations!
Let’s keep building a stronger, more connected Los Ranchos — one cup of tea at a time.
Trustee Kueffer: Protecting Los Ranchos
FOLR Gives Village another $2K for open space
On Wednesday November 19, Marsha Adams, FOLR President, along with VP Marcia Smiley, Secretary Nancy and friend and advisor Gordene MacKenzie presented a $2000 check to the Mayor and Trustees at the BOT meeting.
This money is the entire proceeds from the FOLR booth at the Los Ranchos Community Yard Sale in October. The donation is dedicated to the memory of Joe Craig and is to be used for improving the Del Norte Open Space.
Last spring FOLR raised $2300 at the Community Yard Sale which was presented to the Village towards the purchase of open space.
Many Village residents contributed items to be sold and volunteered to help organize and sell in the booth. Thanks to all of you who participated in any way, as well as to the folks who organized this community-building event.
