During the summer and fall this year, artists from throughout New 
Mexico and our neighboring states visited the Valle Vidal to portray 
its exceptional beauty in paintings, sculpture, film, pottery, 
photography, jewelry, and other media.
 
The Gallery on the Green at the Taos Country Club will display these 
special artworks for sale at a gala reception on October 20th.  Artists 
will take half of the proceeds of their sales, and half will go 
directly to protecting and restoring the Valle Vidal.
 
The Abundant Life Art Exhibit will be held as a special evening event 
in concert with
 
New  Mexico Bioneers Conference
 
at the Kachina Lodge and Meetings Center in Taos, October 20-22. 
 
We invite you to enjoy your choice of the exciting sessions of this 
conference.
 
New Mexicans and our neighbors from throughout the region will honor 
those who have made extraordinary contributions to permanently protect 
the Valle Vidal, New Mexico’s national treasure.
 
We extended invitations to all members of the New  Mexico congressional 
delegation, Governor Bill Richardson, and local and regional 
legislators and supporters from the many New Mexico counties, cities, 
and towns who resolved to protect the Valle Vidal forever.
 
We look to your support to protect New Mexico’s Valle Vidal.  We would 
be privileged for you to join us for the New Mexico Bioneers Conference 
and the opening reception of the
