  Aubrey Dunn Visitor's Center
Volunteer of the Month  

Instead of choosing a single Volunteer of the month, the Chamber would like to thank and show appreciation to all of the Volunteers and Staff of the Aubrey Dunn, Sr. Visitors Center.

 

These wonderful individuals share their time and knowledge with each and every guest of the Visitors Center and with such enthusiasm and friendliness.  They are an important part of the Chamber of Commerce and to this community because they provide information on a daily basis about events and area attractions to those new to or visiting the area.

 

They all deserve the recognition at the beginning of this new year.  Again, thank you, volunteers and staff, for all you do, for the City of Alamogordo and the Chamber of Commerce.
