the desire Brunch
The Desire Brunch is designed to bring Santa Feans who are under the age of 50 together to discuss how we live, work, and play in the City and to identify what it is we are asking to have availbale in terms of services, entertainment, housing, and commerce opportunities.
Why under 50? Mayor Webber and the City of Santa Fe have identified 18-45 year olds as the demographic to stimulate and diversify the economy. As the City decides how to repurpose the 64-acre midtown plot (nee College of Santa Fe and SFUAD), they also need our voices, our lived experiences, our desires.
If you’re under 50 years old and want to participate in our next brunch, Saturday, 13 October 2018, please sign up to reserve your seat!
