Call to Action GO BOND!

As we get ready to start the 2010-11 academic year, we want to share information about the General Obligation(GO Bonds). Throughout the next 3 months we will keep you informed about the efforts we are making to inform and educate our community about these important Bonds. General Obligation bonds come before the voters every two years. They are a proven and accepted method of funding bricks and mortar projects. November 2, New Mexicans will have the opportunity to vote for BONDS A, B, C, D.

• Bond A- will provide $7.7 million for senior citizen facilities
• Bond B- will provide $7 million for public, tribal, academic and public school libraries
• Bond C- includes $5 million for public education projects
• Bond D- $155.2 million for higher education and special schools projects- $2 million of this will go to the UNM-Taos Library to plan, design, construct, equip and furnish phase 1. The UNM-Taos Library complex will house the academic library, the Southwest
• 
  
• Research Center, the Water Institute, a large theatre style classroom, and a learning lab for supplemental instruction, developmental studies, and mentoring; all of which will be open and accessible to the public as well as all students.
  

As part of the GO Bond steering committee, I am writing to give you an update of the dates for tabling and community presentations. We met July 14 to inform the community of our efforts. Several community volunteers signed up to write letters to the Taos News and speak at civic organizations. What can a UNM-Taos employee do? Keep informed; educate your family and neighbors about these bonds. We would also like to invite you to help us with tabling. Be sure to click the links at the bottom that will give you the opportunity to sign up for various community presentations, tabling and sign the petition on-line. Our first tabling effort is this Saturday at Cid’s!

Please call or ask any of the UNM-Taos steering committee members if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
GO Bond Steering Committee:
Dr. Kate O’Neill, UNM-Taos Director, Kathleen Knoth, Library Director
Ana Pacheco, Bill Knief, Enrico Trujillo
