In case you missed it, Newmanista and NPNA Board Member,
Lisa Garibay, was featured in the El Paso Times Living section this past week. For
a long time El Pasoans have watched a “brain drain” – people who grew up here
but then left after high school or college for better opportunities. “Now, a
growing number of young, professional El Pasoans are coming home and using
their experience gained elsewhere to contribute to improving the border city.” Read
Lisa’s story in Homecomings:
Publicist found plenty going on in El Paso.
Lisa has been a big help to our Association especially with our
Facebook page. She helped make the Little Free Library a reality and is helping
to maintain it.

Many of you asked so you need to know: Lambert
found a home. And so did the poodle
thanks to Ace Detective Pat Dalbin. When asked how she found the owner,
Detective Dalbin responded: “Well since he had been recently groomed I took him
to the closest groomer Petvorous and he said he did the dog on the 2nd and
looked up the owner. He called and sure enough he was missing so they are
now reunited!” Move over Ace Ventura! BTW, Newmanista Pat is the Public Art
Program Coordinator for the City of El Paso.
Finally, congratulations to the Austin
High Panther football team on winning back the coveted claw in their annual
homecoming match-up against El Paso High School.
Vaya con Dios!
