A community to be heard event is set for March 29 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at Luna Community College, Las Vegas, NM. This event will provide a sounding board for community members impacted by the fire and give them a chance to discuss their issues and how they can be addressed. The plan is for the event to get a lot of media attention, plus local, state and national resource providers have also been invited to attend and address the ongoing issues affecting residents.
