The Borrego Ministers Association Gifted by Rams Hill


In this season of giving, The Borrego Ministers Association (BMA) received a generous gift of $5000 from Rams Hill. It comes from their "For(e) the Love of Borrego" program--catch the golf reference?


This donation will go a long way in the BMA's day to day efforts to assist neighbors in need. It could be part of the more than $4000 worth of grocery coupons provided monthly to local markets. Or it might be used to give emergency relief to a family with outstanding rent and utility bills, struggling with injured or ill heads of household. It could also help a family needing frequent trips to medical care as they enter the "Let's Go Borrego" travel assistance program. The list of possible temporary needs is endless. Every cent of donations goes out to sisters and brothers in need in the community.

The BMA is grateful to Rams Hill and to all who think about their neighbor in this holiday season. Consider giving too.

Borrego Springs-made short film screens Oct. 11 St. Barnabas Episcopal Church will present the award-winning short film George & Rosa on Sunday, Oct. 11, from 1–2 p.m. as part of its “Who Is My Neighbor?” film and discussion series. Written, produced and directed by Borrego Springs resident Matt Bosson, the 24-minute drama follows George and Rosa, two people living on the margins who form an unexpected bond despite speaking different languages. The story explores loneliness, companionship and human dignity. George & Rosa was produced entirely in Borrego Springs, with local talent involved in the production and the Anza-Borrego desert serving as its backdrop. The film won Best Medium Short in the Reale Film Festival’s June 2026 Monthly Awards. Bosson worked for many years in television video playback on productions including 24, House MD and Grey’s Anatomy before relocating to Borrego Springs, where he teaches English and continues his filmmaking and music work. His previous short BAD was also filmed and premiered in Borrego Springs. The screening will be held at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 2680 Country Club Road, followed by a community discussion as part of the ongoing “Who Is My Neighbor?” series.
