Santa Fe Theatre Available For Community Meetings Mr. Abel Gallegos, manager of the Santa Fe Theater, has announced that the theater is available for use for community meetings during the week. There is no charge for community groups or agencies using the building. The only requirement is that the place be left as clean as it was before the meeting. Mr. Gallegos may be contacted on weekends at the theater and week day evenings at 455-1698. Mr. Gallegos has been manager of the theater since November of 1966 except for one period of several months during 1969 and 70. In 1966 the theater was showing one Mexican and one American film. About one month later, the American movie was dropped and two Mexican movies shown in response to requests from the community. This brought about an increase in attendance. The following year with the co-operation of the theater owner, it was decided to admit free children under 12 with their parents. Later in 1967, the theater began showing 3 Mexican movies because of the interest of the patrons. During the last part of 1968 American movies were again shown Mondays through Thursdays with Mexican films on the weekends. This was again on request from the community. This was done for about a month, but was not successful in either money or number of people attending. Mr. Gallegos would be willing to try American movies again if there are enough people interested to make it worth while. Please let him know if you want this. At the present approximately 5% of the at- tendence is Anglo. Mr. Gallegos operated the theater until September of 1969 when it was closed for repairs and renovation. The owner made plans to move the Victory Theater from downtown to the Santa Fe. Most West Siders will recall the following events as the theater was picketed to prevent this. The West Side was successful in keeping this kind of entertainment out of the neighborhood. And in November it was reopened with Mexican and American movies under the management of Mr. Eddie Speck. In March of this year, Mr. Gallegos resumed management of the theater and at the present 4 Mexican movies are being shown each weekend. Some movies being shown in the coming weeks are listed on page 7. One problem that Mr. Gallegos would like some help with concerns children attending the theater alone. He is asking parents to leave their address and phone number with him so they can be contacted in case of emergencies or misbehavior. He also asks that parents be aware of when the theater closes and to pick up their children at that time. In the future if parents cannot be reached to pick up their children, it will be necessary to contact an agency to do so. Please Donate Swim Suits To Lincoln Pool For All Ages Anna Flores, new Chairman of Auraria Board of Directors. Open House Includes Resident Meeting and Mariachi Mass All residents of the West Side are invited to participate in an open house celebration to be held on Sunday, June 28,1970, at the new location of the West Side Action Center, 1312 Santa Fe Drive. The meeting of the membership assembly will begin at 12 noon with a Mariachi Mass to follow and open house. Refreshments will be served following the Mass and visitors may stop in until 6 p.m. The West Side Action Council Inc., and staff of the Action Center hope as many residents as possible will stop in and visit with them on this day in order to get a better idea of what types of programs and services are now available and also find out what residents can do to plan for additional programs and services in the future.
