HSNM Events Calendar
Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as social interaction with teammates. Years ago I used to play the table-top version but playing on the website is much better! You can play using your computer or your phone.
Time: 6pm MT
Players that are new to Codenames are very welcome. You can take a look at it here: codenames.game But it's much easier to learn by doing and we're happy to teach.
We have 5 committed Codenamers already. The minimum to play is 4 (2 per team). So we'd like more players! We hope to reach at least 3 per team (total of 6).
To join us, here is the link to our Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq
While we're playing, we use Google Meet to communicate.
If you're new to Google Meet, I recommend spending about 10 minutes ahead of start time to prepare and test your microphone and speakers. Video isn't needed.
Join my invitation email list to be invited by email each week as a reminder a few hours before play time. In it will be a link to the Google Meet as well as other info.
To be added to the email invitation list, send a request to my email address: gstelle@gmail.com
The game itself changes each week. So a link to the game will be in a follow-up email (if you receive my invitation emails) as well as in Chat of Google Meet.
Chat is Google Meet's in-call messaging feature. Once you're in Google Meet, look for the button at bottom right of screen that looks like a little rectangle with horizontal lines and says "Chat with everyone" when you point to it. Then tap on the link that starts with "Codenames.game..."

You have a head full of ideas, and we want to hear them. Join us for an open discussion that's exciting, respectful and wide-ranging.
This month's hike will be on November 13 at 10:30 am at the Ellis Trailhead in the Sandia Mountains. We can hike to either the Sandia Crest, the Tram or one of the other trails in that area. Ellis Trailhead is about 12 miles up the Sandia Crest road.
If you want to carpool, meet at the south end of the Smith's parking lot on Central and Tramway at 10:00 AM. (The start time for the hike and the time to meet for the carpool is different so that hikers who don't want to carpool can still meet at the trailhead at around the same time.
Call or text me with questions: Max Will, 505-459-5361.
Belen was one of those historic stops, complete with restaurant and iconic Harvey Girls. So join us for a step back into national and very local history. Let Charlene know you'll be coming at 505-350-2436 or huftrot@gmail.com. (Note: if you received an email invitation to this event, you can also register online via that email.) Registrants will be contacted closer to the event about carpooling.
Join us to discuss a topic chosen the month prior. You don't have to research the topic ahead of time, but some members like to stretch their awareness of the topic ahead of time. And feel free to suggest a topic for the following month.
Join the Unholy Rollers this month at Silva Lanes on Eubank. Show up at the front desk and look human. A bowling angel will find you and direct you to Bowling Salvation! Approximate cost: $10-13. No skill required. IT'S BOWLING!
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC:
Next up in our Humanist Speaker Series at the Albuquerque Museum is Lauren Camp, the Poet Laureate of New Mexico (2022-25.) In addition to reading from her works, she’ll discuss her path to poetry, her experience as Poet Laureate and the projects she’s working on now.
The title of her talk is: “Poetry and Geography—Mapping Emotions and Experience through Lines and Stanzas.”
Lauren founded the New Mexico Epic Poem Project, in partnership with New Mexico Arts, to amplify the creative voices of residents in rural, arts-underserved communities. She is the author of eight books of poetry, most recently In Old Sky (Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024), winner of the New Mexico Book Award, which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park. Her poems have been translated into Mandarin, Turkish, Spanish, French and Arabic.
Her poems and essays have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including Kenyon Review, Prairie Schooner, Orion, Missouri Review, and Poem-a-Day. Her work has been translated into Turkish, Mandarin, Serbian, Arabic, French and Spanish.
She has pivoted from a successful career as a visual artist (1996-2008). Her portrait series, “The Fabric of Jazz,” traveled to museums in ten cities. More artwork can be found in cultural centers, hospitals, museums, U.S. embassies and other organizations around the world. For 15 years, she was a producer and host for Santa Fe Public Radio.
