Commission on Aging: Meets
every other third Thursday at 3 pm, generally at the Senior Circle,
2801 N. Main in Roswell. One or another of the commissioners will know
of every resource in SE NM and it’s free. For more information on the commission, Contact Tom Dunlap at
575-622-2607 or at dunlaplawoffice@cableone.net or just show up and raise your hand, maybe car pool.
Orient yourself toward Roswell instead of Alamo, but always call first
before driving to these larger towns with many more resources even
though neither has your county seat. You also have your own aging
group, so contact Dr. Clara Farah at ENMU-Ruidoso 575-973-7835.
