Conceived and directed by Robert Redford in 1988\, the screenplay is based on one of John Nichols’ “New Mexico Trilogy” novels. It was filmed in Truchas\, NM\, and is credited with being one of the first screenplays to use magical realism. You'll love meeting the citizens of Milagro—Ruby Aruchuleta\, Joe Mondragon\, Amarante Cordova\, NYU student Herbie\, the Senile Brigade\, and more—who join forces to resist the land-grab and water-rights-thievery of Big Moneyed Business. Bring a snack to share and enjoy camaraderie\, laughter\, and thoughtful discussion about community\, loyalty\, who is family\, and more.

The program empowers farmers to establish a tree nursery. In exchange they earn crop seeds\, agricultural hand tools\, and training\, items critical to the success of smallholder farmers. The program addresses deforestation and climate change while enabling participating farmers to increase their harvests. It results in an average increase of 40% for crop yields and 50-100% increase in household income. The goals for the 2025 agro-forestry program in Sarrazin include: \n\n– Grow 90\,000 trees;\n– Empower 800 farmers to earn crop seeds\, agricultural hand tools\, and training in improved\nfarming techniques;\n– Care for goats in the animal husbandry component of the program.\n\nRHF began funding the Sarrazin program in 2019 with support from generous donors who are no longer able to contribute. Support from DMIEC for this important program would be most appreciated. For more information\, visit https://raisinghaiti.org . \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE AUGUST 11th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310 \nWrite checks either to “Raising Haiti Foundation”  or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.  First Sunday checks must be received by DMIEC by August 20th; if you elect to contribute to the First Sunday recipient after that date\, please let DMIEC’s Social Justice Committee Chair Kathy Eastman know the amount to assist in recording our community’s giving.

The combination of inflated food prices\, an end to COVID benefits\, and lingering pandemic hardships is driving more people to seek assistance at the pantry. \nFor more information\, please visit the DMARC Food Pantries website https://www.dmarcunited.org/food/\nRead DMARC’s most recent quarterly newsletter here. \nHere are two ways to donate: \n\nVia special envelopes available at DMIEC on in-person fourth Sundays. Please write checks to “DMARC\,” include a note with/on your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community\, put the check in the envelope\, and put the envelope in the collection basket.\nSend donation checks directly to DMARC. Please write checks to “DMARC” and mail to DMARC at its *new address\,* 100 Army Post Road\, Des Moines\, IA 50315. Please include a note with your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community.
