On Saturday, June 8, 2024, Stephen Lopez, provided the town organizations with a two-hour training session on ICS 700 Introduction to National Incident Management. The training proved to be both interesting and informative. Representatives from the following organizations were present: La Union Townsite, La Union Helping Hands, La Union Mutual Domestic Sewer & Water Association, La Union Watershed District, and Our Lady of Refuge. The organizations intend to use the acquired information to formulate a strategy to help the La Union residents be better prepared in the event of another flooding catastrophe.
Stephen Lopez served the county as Interim County Manager and Emergency Manager for the joint County/City of Las Cruces Office of Emergency Management. Mr. Lopez has vast experience in law enforcement, emergency management and academics.
We were very pleased to attend the class, as Mr. Lopez is not only personable, but also extremely knowledgeable in Emergency Management and willing to help La Union and its residents. Thank you, Mr. Lopez.

In 2018 Building Movement Projects and Strong Families New Mexico were working together in successful collaboration to aid communities in southern New Mexico. In particular, they helped La Union Helping Hands to positively enhance their nonprofit organization's key goals and identify their economic strengths and weaknesses. This three-day project took, instead, three months to complete.
Upon completion of the seminar, La Union Helping Hands was issued a Certificate of Achievement for Successful completion of the Southern New Mexico Common Good Action Project.
La Union Helping Hands participants include: Mary Ann Galindo, Matilde Ortiz, Yolanda Galindo, Facundo Ruiz, and Anthony Quinn Castro
Yolie Galindo takes a training on Google classroom sponsored by Ngage New Mexico and GISD instructors to better assist the children in her family.
