2 – Albuquerque Paid Leave Ordinance
Councilors Sena and Davis are proposing a Paid Leave Ordinance on Monday. https://www.cabq.gov/council/find-your-councilor/district-1/news/city-councilors-lan-sena-and-pat-davis-introduce-the-healthy-families-and-workplaces-ordinance
Paid leave is a public health issue. Without paid leave workers are not able to properly take care of themselves, their families, and may potentially expose the community with a contagious disease. Supporting workers with appropriate PPE is also important. The Council has been reviewing studies on paid leave. We have found that paid leave reduces flu transmission by 6% and also increases the number of workers who get vaccinated for the flu. We can guess that this translates to some degree to COVID spread, and eventual vaccination. Workers with paid leave also are more able to provide regular preventative care for their children and other family members. We can give you information and you decide where you stand on this issue. If you’d like more information on paid leave and health we can share more Monday during the day.
You are encouraged to voice your thoughts to YOUR City Council by Monday. Likely to be best by the end of lunch as the Council meeting is in the late afternoon.

4 – BIKES for Kids!
MORE BIKES for Kids!
I have great news! Steve Echols, our “BIKE GUY”, has been busy fixing and refurbishing bikes for kids. This is a perfect time to get a bike so kids can get outside and exercise. Volunteers are needed as well to welcome to come help kids pick out their perfect bike.
Please show up on Sunday, November 1, from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm at 8900 D San Mateo NE. (Exit Alameda W. from I-25 and turn right at San Mateo.) Wear masks. This will be a first come first serve opportunity. He has at least 50 bikes to give away so we sure hope to see you on Sunday!
Steve would also like to give each child a helmet to go along with the bikes. If you have a bike helmet in your garage that is not being used, you can drop it off Sunday at the giveaway location or helmets can also be dropped off at our Wings office.
Wings office address:
2015 Wyoming Blvd NE Suite J
2 blocks S. of Menaul on W. side of street from Furr’s Buffet
Direct Phone #: 505-298-0985
General office hours: M-F, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
If anyone wants to make a donation to Steve so he can afford to keep rebuilding more bikes, you can designate funds on our website to Steve.

5 – UNM Family Development Program Resource and Referral Survey
Hello Friends of Family Development Program,
FDP has been asked by New Mexico’s new Early Childhood Education and Care Department to discover how families learn about services available for their children.
If you have young children (ages 0-5) in your home, please consider sharing your advice and guidance with us by taking the short survey below. Or, if you work with families with young children, please consider sharing this email with them. Your input will help the State to better understand families’ needs.
Thank you for your time and reflections.
