It’s an important year for Self Help, and everyone’s invited to help celebrate!
Just a few tickets remain for a celebratory and fundraising gala 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 at Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church’s Kelly Hall benefiting Self Help’s work fighting poverty in northern New Mexico.
Attendees will have an evening of food, conversation and great auction deals—all while supporting a great cause.
