Meet Mary Mascareñas, the heart and soul of Peñasco and a 2025 Taoseña Award Honoree.
For decades, she's dedicated herself to uplifting our community—from volunteering with Taos Feeds Taos to serving on the Taos County Planning Commission.
Mary embodies the spirit of service as an acequia commissioner for over 25 years and a passionate advocate for education (she was named Board Member of the Year in 2018!).
Her contributions to local fiestas and heritage preservation reflect her unwavering commitment. Celebrated as a 2009 Tradiciones Unsung Hero," she inspires us all: "I believe in service and being available."
Join us in celebrating the incredible women of Taos at our annual Taoseña awards event on Wednesday, March 5, at 6:00 pm. Watch live at www.taosnews.com or our page and be inspired by their remarkable stories.
Stay tuned for the Taos Woman magazine in the March 6 edition featuring these trailblazers!
Thank you, Mary!
