The Aztec Boys & Girls Club has been fortunate to partner on a couple different ventures with XTO Energy in recent months.  XTO is committed to maintaining good will and to being a good civic neighbor, which they do in a variety of ways with both the contribution of both money and time. 
XTO Energy sponsored our recent Barbecue fundraiser that we held in conjunction with our Walkathon on May 31st.  It was a perfect way to wrap up our Walkathon with a hearty barbecue beef sandwich, potato salad and a brownie.  Coca-Cola supplied the cold drinks to accompany the meal. Thanks to XTO the Aztec Boys & Girls Club raised almost $4,000 from the barbecue!  
On June 19th members of the Summer Program and a group of members from our Teen Center drove over to Animas Park for a field trip to the Nature Center.  They had a great, but hot afternoon of studying the flora and fauna to be found along the Animas River.  At the end of their hike they were met by three XTO Energy employees, Dashelle Graves, Mike Marriott and John Weaver who supplied cold drinks and ice cream for everyone.  After cooling down a bit they visited one of XTO’s working well sites right in Animas Park and Mr. Weaver and Mr. Marriott explained the different equipment on the well site and stressed  how important it is be safe and to NEVER play near a well site.   It was an interesting talk and it was amazing to see how many wells there are in San Juan County. After the talk our members were given “gifts“  from our friends at XTO, a key chain, notebook and pen and a drink cozy.  A lot of our members have parents who work in the oil industry and several expressed on their way home that the visit to the well site was their favorite part of the day.
