The Ojo Sarco Community Center was recognized for its outstanding community service by Rio Arriba County commissioners during its March 30 meeting.
   Carol Miller whoâs a volunteer board member accepted the recognition during the County commission meeting.
   âItâs really nice for us to receive this recognition,â Miller said. âItâs an unusual thing that our community did because weâre isolated and weâre not near any other big communities where programs and services are offered. Weâre a very humble organization in a facility that weâve converted from a former one room schoolhouse into a nice place.â
