TOGETHER WITH

Hello {{First Name|Las Cruces}},

I don’t know about you but we are loving all this rain ⛈

Monday will be the last day to sign up for our June Dinner Club which is Wednesday June 10th which will be at restaurants in Mesilla.

I left these events listed below for easy access as they received a lot of interest in Tuesday’s issue and they are pretty cool things to do. Plus I added some new stuff for the kids. Got to keep those kids busy this summer!

Film Las Cruces is throwing a special screening of “Shark Thrash” at the Rio Grande Theatre and bringing that B-movie chaos downtown where it belongs.

Local crew. Local spots. Zero ocean required.

Whether you’re a film nerd, a shark movie degenerate, or just love seeing what our neighbors are cooking up, this one’s got that perfect mix of local pride and ridiculous fun. Free Admission More Info

The Boys and Girls Club “Adventure Starts Here” Summer Program for youths age 6-18 will enjoy full-day programming that includes breakfast, lunch, and a snack, field trips, transportation for field trips, and fun activities focused on learning, enrichment, and skill-building. More Info

They are also having a Teen Night on June 5th from 6:30 - 10 pm with games, music, free food, and a bonfire. More Info

Want your kid to play soccer like their favorite World Cup idol? Lock them into the 2026 Summer Camp June 8-12 at Pitch #1, 4502 Sonoma Springs — 5-8 year olds at 5pm, 9+ at 6pm for just $85—where they’ll master real team communication, positioning, dribbling, passing, shooting, and disciplined movement on and off the ball, and the first 20 players grab a brand new jersey, so sign up now before spots disappear.

The City of Las Cruces is straight-up crushing it with these sessions — real talk, super practical education that actually helps us all live greener, leaner, and way more in tune with our desert paradise.
