1988: A Clovis News-Journal feature profiled the first two women to join the El Desayuno Kiwanis Club, an organization that had been men-only until recently.
Phyllis Musgrove, dean of instruction at Eastern New Mexico University-Clovis, joined the club in November 1987, and Laura Martin, law enforcement supervisor at Cannon Air Force Base, followed a few months later.
"Our club, I believe, was ready for it," said El Desayuno President Jim Krake.
Member Tom Humphrey, who nominated both Musgrove and Martin for membership, said, "A group like this is community-minded and, to me, women can do that as well as men."
1968: In honor of its 15th anniversary, a local Clovis radio station sponsored a concert at Marshall Auditorium featuring Glen Campbell with the Coachmen and the Campbellmen.
Tickets, which were sold through the station as well as at the Village Record Shop, were $3.50 general admission, $4.50 for reserved seating and $2.50 for those willing to sit up high in the balcony.
