Good morning, Las Cruces.

Ken Hoeksema, who helped the Boys & Girls Club nearly 20 years ago when it faced financial hardships, served as board chair and spurred local partnerships that now support an annual fundraiser raising about $50,000 and plans for a new facility to serve more youth.

The Rio Grande Theatre in downtown Las Cruces celebrates 100 years since its opening in 1926, marking a centennial milestone for the historic adobe venue.

Visit Las Cruces now manages the theater, which continues to host local cultural events and performances.

Creative Kids launched an art program at the juvenile detention center where youth spent nine hours over three sessions expressing themselves and building trust.

The 120-day pilot ended and officials plan to offer the program year-round — with a possible statewide expansion over the next three to five years.
