Are you confused by US immigration laws and history? Are you curious about how the US government operates and enforces these laws? Do you know how US policy is affecting the situation at the US-Mexican border?

Join us for a fact-based presentation and discussion of the history of US immigration, our current laws and procedures, and an overview of current border issues.

Alyson Ball is a resident of Charlottesville, Virginia and spends her winters in Green Valley. Having studied the broader topic of US immigration for over 6 years, Alyson informs the general public about this important topic.

Now Accepting Membership Dues for 2023

We hope you are enjoying the holidays. Thanks to all who have joined this last year and those who have renewed their membership.  We now have over 400 members to help with our mission. The club has increased the goal to 500 members for 2023. So, we challenge each of you to find a new member this year.  

If you haven’t renewed your membership, there is still time to pay dues at the 2022 rate of $25. Because Headquarters is closed until the first of the year, we have extended the time to pay dues at the 2022 rate of $25 until January 31, 2023. After that dues will be $30.

Thank you for allowing me to be your membership chair. Please welcome Sandie Stone, who will be taking over the first of the year.

Again, thanks to all and Happy New Year!

Nancy, outgoing VP Membership

Join the Membership Committee!

Greetings, I am the newly elected VP of Membership replacing Nancy Anacker. She has left me with big shoes to fill. Thanks, Nancy, for your great work over the last several years. 

I am in need of one or two volunteers to join the committee this year. We meet once a month to review the current membership and discuss means to increase the numbers, etc. If you’re interested in joining this committee, please let me know at sandiestone@cox.net.  

Happy New Year to all! 

Sandie Stone, VP Membership

The office is now open three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 10 am - 2 pm.

Our next We Help project is to donate socks for migrants. Socks for all ages, new or lightly used. Please drop them off in the wagon in the office. They will be distributed through Voices From The Border and Kino Border Initiative. Donations need to be in the wagon by January 31.

Thank you so much for whatever you can do!
