The Zia diner is supporting the Truchas Chapter Youth Education Program (TCYEP) tomorrow Tuesday July 27th with 10% of their profits being donated to us. If you have time, please join us for food, drink, and lots of fish tales. TYCEP chair John Wright will be there at 5:45 for drinks and dinner. TCYEP is geared toward encouraging our youth to be stewards of our natural resources through several programs including Trout In the Classroom. We're looking forward to another great school year with our NM youths! Please support TCYEP and businesses like the Zia Diner.
