In 1822, freight operator William Becknell altered his route between Independence, Missouri and Santa Fe, New Mexico to find a trail more suitable for wagon trains. He wanted a better route to carry goods in trade with the newly independent Mexico. This route became known as the Santa Fe Trail which was later displaced by the railroad in 1880. Sapello, New Mexico is located about 80 miles from Santa Fe and was a trading post along the trail.
The Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA has strong bond with this community located in northeast New Mexico. Throughout the year, eClub members Carol and Tom Anderson periodically live in this community. They had observed that most students at Mike Mateo Serna Elementary School did not have the basic school supplies. With financial assistance from ReCSWUSA’s mini-grant program, Rotary District Grants, and Pendaries Lot Owner's Association, Carol and Tom have spearheaded the effort to outfit these young minds with the basic supplies.
