Smith’s Marketplace Director Erik Boehm presented a $5,000 check this morning to Executive Director Katie Watson of the Pajarito Environmental Education Center for their Capital Campaign, which is helping support the new Nature Center on Canyon Road. Watson explained that Smith’s Marketing Vice President Marsha Gilford told her that everywhere she went in the community during a July visit, people told her how much they loved PEEC and this donation is the largest among the many the new store has contributed to community organizations. Boehm added that he was pleased to present the check in support of this important endeavor. The Nature Center is scheduled to be finished by Earth Day in April 2015. Photo by Carol A.
