Philanthropy Tops United Way Board Event

Special guest speaker Craig Leasure of Los Alamos talks about the importance of giving during Friday’s Celebration of Philanthropy hosted by the United Way of Northern New Mexico Board of Directors at Historic Los Luceros in Velarde. This is the first annual event in which board members cover all costs so 100 percent of the funds raised can go directly to helping people in need. Photo by Carol A. Clark/ladailypost.com
