Sandoval County issues proclamation celebrating Jardeneros de Placitas’ 60th anniversary

The Sandoval County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 22 presented a proclamation recognizing the 60th anniversary of Jardeneros de Placitas, a Placitas‑based nonprofit engaged in community volunteer projects.

Commissioner Catherine Brock read the proclamation noting the group’s history of charitable and social work, including donations of holiday toys, backpacks and coats to elementary and middle school students; support for veterans and low‑income seniors; contributions to local animal welfare groups; and environmental activities such as the cleanup of a mile of Highway 165. The proclamation recorded the organization’s 1965 founding and declared Oct. 25 as the group’s 60th anniversary recognition in Sandoval County.

Janice (identified by the group as current president) accepted the proclamation and thanked the board; she told commissioners the recognition was an honor and expressed pride in the organization’s long community service. Several members came forward for a photo with the commissioners after the proclamation was read.

No formal roll‑call vote was recorded for the proclamation; it was read and presented by the board as part of ceremonial items on the agenda.
