| The annual poinsettia and Christmas cactus sale sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Chaffee County has once again generated a significant profit to fund 2023 programs. Through sales of 236 plants and donations from businesses and individuals, the League raised $1,800, all of which will be used to fund 2023 programs. With the sales completed and the profits in, the League is gearing up for its 2023 programs. Already scheduled for January, February and March are panels featuring local mayors, health care experts and the County Commissioners. The Monday, January 9 meeting, 11:15 a.m. at the Salida City Council Chambers, is a panel beginning at noon of the local mayors–Libby Fay; Buena Vista; Dan Short, Salida; and Ben Scanga, Poncha Springs. Monday, February 13, will be a Health Care Panel, again at Salida City Council Chambers, starting at noon with business and social at 11:15 a.m. The Chaffee County Commissioners will make up the panel in an evening meeting in March.
