   It was moving day for the Granada City Clerks on May 16, 2001. This was a day to reflect on our past and look ahead to our future.
   The old building had been used for the Town Hall and Clerk's Office, since April 23, 1935, when it was purchased by the Town of Granada.
   The City Clerks, Jean Bezona and Leanna Baca have more room to work in. The office is brighter and temperature controlled for a better working environment.

JUNE 16TH - Don't forget!
HORSESHOE CONTEST LOCAL ARTIST AT
GRANADA/BRISTOL DAY
   Local artist, Ivonne Ramos, who was commissioned by the Granada Pride Committee to paint the four murals in the Granada City Complex, will have her art work for sale inside the Complex during Granada/Bristol Day.
   If you don't see what you want, you can commission her to do a painting for you.

NAME PLAQUES ON
BRICK WALL
   The Brick Wall in the Granada City Complex is beautiful.
   Originally in the beginning, names were grouped together by families; as names are added, it is not possible to place families together.
   The name plaques are glued to the brick facing. The Granada Pride Committee regrets not being able to shift names around.

FSA NEWS
   The FSA Office is currently accepting acreage reports for crops. The final date to report all crops is July 16. Measurement service is available for determining your crop acreage. If you have a crop that fails, make sure you report that acreage to the FSA Office for history purposes.
   In the future a Non Insurance Assistance Program will be available through FSA. This will cover non insurable crops for $100 per crop not to exceed $300 per farm. The local offices are not aware of the program provisions at this time. As information becomes available we will make it available to you.
