She doesn't know the word "can't"...

One thing that makes Connie so special is her positive, "we'll find a way to get it done" attitude! 

Connie is a smart, creative problem-solver 

who never saw a challenging situation that could get the best of her!! 

Psssst....don't tell Connie!

At Sawmill Community Land Trust, we are sad that our Fearless Leader, Connie Chavez, will soon be embarking on other adventures and leaving us missing her incredible problem-solving skills, out-side-the-box thinking, hilarious sense of humor and incredibly generous spirit!

So, as a tribute to Connie, we've started a blog where her friends, co-workers, co-volunteers and partners-in-crime can post what she means to you. For now, we're keeping the blog a secret but we will print out your posts & give to her in late March.

Please pass the word along to people who may know Connie - - but who we haven't caught up with yet - - about the blog. Thanks!

This is a shot of Connie in-charge and working the crowd at the demolition of the blighted apartments in Barelas! SCLT will be constructing 4 single-family affordable homes on the cleared site this spring - - the organization's first foray outside the original Sawmill area! Another big accomplishment!
