The Santa Fe Civitan Club brought many smiles to Prism Autistic Services at a recent Trunk or Treat event. The Santa Fe Civitan club hosted six of the nine Trunk or Treat participants. In addition, many Civitans provided the treats to hand out to the children. Topa Augustine, Prisms Clinical Director, said “This is so wonderful. You have allowed these children to trick or treat where they would likely not have that opportunity.”

Century Bike Ride 2021
This year Santa Fe Civitan lost a dear and faithful Civitan, Pete Martinez. Pete was a loyal supporter of the annual Santa Fe Century Bike Ride and tirelessly organized one of the rest stops for over 30 years. This stop will now be known as "Pete's Stop," and Santa Fe Civitan will continue to host this stop in Pete's memory.

NM School for the Deaf Book Drive
Santa Fe Civitan is part of the Civitan Great Southwest District; which covers New Mexico, Colorado, & El Paso, TX. For our spring 2018 District Meeting, the theme was "service." The Santa Fe Civitan Club partnered with the NM School for the Deaf to hold a book drive for their Early Intervention for Children Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing Program. This awesome program works with deaf or hard of hearing children ages 0-6 all over the state, to encourage literacy at an early age.
We challenged the other clubs in the district, offering $100 (to be donated to a service project/organization of their choice) to the club that brought the most books. We were amazed when we collected 270 books! Can you imagine?
The City of Vision Club won the challenge by collecting and donating 61 books! Amazing!
