SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham will fly Thursday to Washington, D.C., at the invitation of President Joe Biden to take part in a bipartisan meeting of governors and mayors at the White House scheduled for Friday.

The meeting is focused on the president’s COVID-19 relief package, the American Rescue Plan. The governor plans to advocate for the proposed $350 billion in essential state and local aid and for continued increases in vaccine supply to support New Mexico’s leading efforts in efficiently distributing shots.

The governor is scheduled to return to New Mexico late Friday.

This is the governor’s first trip outside of New Mexico since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Information provided by Mescalero Child Care Center Director, Dannalyn Blake

DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) Regional CPS (Child Passenger Safety) Network is sponsoring a national virtual car seat check event.

You would do anything to protect the little loves in your life.  Make sure their car seats are used and installed right when you meet virtually with a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) during a FREE National event on February 13th! Sign up here: bit.ly/39pbYOH<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/national-virtual-car-seat-safety-event-tickets-136021234173> for a virtual car seat assistance appointment.

The event is free, but caregiver registration is required. With many services still suspended due to COVID-19, or perhaps cancelled with the winter months, this is a great option for caregivers.  The virtual checks are conducted one-on-one between the caregiver and CPST.  Each appointment typically runs about 45-50 minutes and during that time, the CPST will review the seat selection, harnessing, how to adjust for growth, and then review the caregivers installation.
