New Mexico CowBelles Jingle Jangle
Can you believe we’re into the 2nd quarter of the year already?!?! Before we get too far into 2020, we want to let you know about some of the additions we have made to the Cowbelles organization.
Associate Membership is available to anyone with a business that would like to join on the business/associate level. Dues start at $25 and each level increase gives your business more exposure to our followers. What we’ve added this year, that we’ve never had before, is an online business directory and ad space in our published Wrangler, CowBelles website, and also on our State CowBelles facebook page.
We’ve never offered this before and we’re hoping it’s a positive addition for our members and their business sponsors. Did you know that we have a large number of members that have their own businesses here in New Mexico? We are members of the local Chambers, we pay our NM taxes, and we employ members of our communities.
Available at Ranch: Coming 2s, Yearling Bulls
You could say we’re vested here! We have embroiderers, quilters, soap makers, several graphic designers, screenprinters, several clothing store owners, ag marketers, hair salons, teachers, leather workers, accountants, and silversmiths in our membership.
We even have some members that really do get paid as day-work hands. If you are a CowBelle member and you’d like your personal business to be listed in the business directory, you can also enroll your business as an associate member. When we say “Let’s support each other in the ag industry”, we are putting our money where our mouth is. We have a couple of community projects that we’ll be asking for your help with... HINT: If you can cook and not burn the house down, we’ll be looking for you to help us with some videos. To get an associate membership package sent by mail or email, please send request to our Associate membership co-chair, Connie Mckinley, at conniejo12123@aol.com . Keep tuning in to our facebook page, we’re posting plenty of ag/beef facts for you to help us flood the internet with!
Until next month, Charity Ann Saulsberry NM CowBelles State President

President Pat Hunt conducted the meeting with opening rituals recited. Guest Ty Bays was present to discuss the upcoming April Cowboy Cash Party; Copper will participate and help to organize. There was discussion about this year’s committees such as scholarships and marketing. Emphasis placed on funding to students pursuing careers in trades needed in rural areas and the marketing committee will develop several beef promotion giveaways. One of the local high school Home Economic teachers has requested in-class instruction about beef and ranching and a committee formed for that effort. A budget and audit committee will review the books as soon as possible due to the change in Treasurer. The Grant County Cattlegrowers is planning a meeting next month and group decided to present the new President with a “We love USA Beef” apron along with a check for the county fair steer purchase project this fall. The steer is processed and the meat is distributed to local Home Ec teachers free of charge for use in the classrooms. Submitted by Pat Hunt

A guest from Chuckwagon CowBelles, Phyllis Hawley, was the winner of the door prize---free lunch. Meeting adjourned at 12:30 pm followed with a presentation by Bernice Ende, aka Lady Long Rider. Bernice, raised on a dairy farm in Minnesota, wound up living in Montana. Taught ballet in a barn during winters, went through a divorce, developed alopecia (a condition which caused her to lose all her hair), and at age 50 decided to borrow a horse and ride from Montana to Albuquerque to visit a sister. This was the first long ride for her, a long ride being 1000 miles or more by horseback. Since then, she has made many “long rides” including from coast to coast. She has written a book by that same name (Lady Long Rider) and has a documentary coming out in April. The group enjoyed listening to Bernice and many wish they could do what she’s doing. Thank you, Bernice, for your entertaining presence at the meeting! Submitted Cathy Pierce

A slight correction... Last month’s Jingle carried some incorrect information regarding The CowBelles and their 80th Anniversary Celebration held in the Cowbelle Hall in Douglas, Arizona on October 19, 2019. The CowBelles in Douglas were the first ever chapter of CowBelles and was started in 1939. It was headed up by my grandmother Mattie Cowan. My maternal grandmother was in attendance, as well as my mother at the ripe old age of 2. The New Mexico Stockman regrets the error in publishing. Thank you.
New Mexico CowBelles: Thank you to all who have submitted their news to Jingle Jangle. Please send minutes and/or newsletters to Jingle Jangle, Janet Witte, 1860 Foxboro Ct., Las Cruces, NM 88007 or email: janetwitte@msn.com by the 14th of every month.
