sad news !
Dear Community Members,
Santa Cruz Humane Society will be closing this fall, and they need our help to continue caring for every animal in their care. Financial donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will go directly to supporting the animals during these final months.
If your Chamber business is planning a fundraiser, special promotion, or event to benefit Santa Cruz Humane Society, please let the Chamber know. Chamber members’ efforts can be promoted to the wider community to help maximize support.
Thank you for coming together to support the animals and the dedicated team at Santa Cruz Humane Society.

THE HISTORIC VALLE VERDE RANCH INN
The Hidden Gem of Tubac
The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.
The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.
For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."

Travel to its edge and you will be greeted by the historic Anza Trail that runs directly to Tubac or Tumacacori, your choice!
