Sheep Creek Land Owners Scholarship Recipients were recently published in two local newspapers, the Conejos County Citizen and the Valley Courier (see article from Conejos Co Citizen) Scholarship-Recipients.jpg (3212 downloads ) Three Conejos County students were awarded $1500 each from the SCLA Scholarship Fund. Thanks to the generous donations of our Conejos Canyon Friends and Sheep Creek Land Owners, and of course, Chris Collins and the Boulder Canyon Band for putting on an incredible concert. We could not have provided these scholarships without everyone’s help and contributions.
We also received a very appreciative thank you letter from the South Conejos School District for the contributions of back packs and school supplies at the beginning of this school year. Letter-from-So-Conejos-School.pdf (3794 downloads )
Thank you to all those who have donated to these great and worthwhile opportunities!!!
PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION OF NAMES: We inadvertently left out Kathy Lummus and if there are others please contact webmaster@scla.org and we will get them added.
Over Labor Day weekend, many Sheep Creek neighbors and their friends and families joined together to clean up our subdivision and protect it from fire danger. After several years of growth a lot of wood and brush had accumulated through most of the areas in the neighborhood, it was time to take care of it. Mitch Frank brought his chipper from Chama and for three days, volunteers donated their time and hard work to complete the job.
Special thanks to James and Sharon Eanes and their family for leading the effort. This was an enormous job and all who helped deserve our gratitude: James & Sharon Eanes, Jake Eanes, Neal & Kako Lummus, Michael Hardin, Earl Morse, Em Curzi, Vicki & Doug Bader and family members, Eric Keck and family members, Bob Newcomber, Clint & Debra Crowe, Leah Thomas, Rick Connell, Carolyn Buckingham, and all the families and guests of each of these volunteers that pitched in. THANK YOU!!!
There is a new application in the Members Section of the Architectural Committee, Pending Construction. SCLA Members have 10 days from posting to review the application and make their comments to the ARC committee. Thank you.

Our mail boxes are all assigned. We have requests for mailboxes that we can not fill at present.
